we train without shoes.

hi everybody, the last two weeks i've had a pain in my right foot. its on the outer edge of my foot and in a line as opposed to a single spot. if im not standing on my feet for a while hurts. So when i wake up in the morning i find it difficult to stand on my right foot for half an hour or so. then it fades away. when i was training yesterday i couldn't kick because foot hurt with each kick. i haven't used any foot wraps. i going to go to a doctor but i just wondered if anyone has an idea of what happened and what they did. i also sort of overstretched my hamstrings in my left leg while doing splits. i tried to rest it but it didn't help. What should i do for that?

so how do i stop myself from doing this, do i actively keep it in mind when i train?

could you explain hyperextending a little more like how i should not do it. what do you mean by locking my elbow out?

when i carry out the straight punch with my rear hand I have started to get a pain in my elbow is this due to stretching to much when i punch? any suggestions?

thks for the website

i do work on it with him but i'm worried that at home when i practice i'm doing it all wrong.

Hi everybody, i have been to 4 MT classes so far. I've been having problems getting the right technique for my hook punch. Can anybody point me to a website or something where i can get some detailed descriptions and illustrations on the hook.

punishment i have joined for only muay thai thks anyway.

After a few months of muay thai they teach me some grappling stuff i think judo and general application of self-defence when faced with a threat

I took my first class. Wow that was incredible. I cant feel my shoulders anymore, cant bend at the knees . When i used to train with weights i unfortunately never gave as much attention to my legs quads, leg biceps so my legs were exhausted by the time warmup was finished

Thks Andrew, but i have found another gym which suits my budget better. They teach muay thai and street fighting together i think. What would they mean when they say street fighting?

The muay thai trainer i found will be gone for 1 month. would it be ok if i took up boxing until he came back.

how many times a week should i train ideally? Would 3 classes be enough?

thks glockmeister. Would it be ok if i did MT without glasses (i will be doing MT only as a hobby)

Hi Sohan thks for replying i have a few questions about what u said. My eyesight isnt too bad do u think its possible for me box without my glasses. "there isn't as much chance of being permanently blinded by a punch", Ookay thats a bit worrying. could u explain this a little more. I did a bit of research and found LASEK and PRK to leave 'the cornea's stability is left virtually unaffected' as opposed to LASIK. but anyway none of this is going to happen in my near future. I am really interested in MT and most probably will go for that but could u tell me about western kickboxing? Thks Orcrist.

hi im new here and im new to MA (i did a couple of months of karate when i was a kid). Im quite interested in boxing and muay thai and since my exams got over ive been looking for a place to train. I have a couple of questions that u can hopefully answer. Ok first im 18 is that a good time to start kick boxing, or am i late? 2nd i wear glasses (as in spectacles), will they be a problem for me while training?(i just want to train as a hobby nothing to serious,at the moment anyway) finally the center i found offers boxing,kick boxing and thai boxing. i done some research and have some idea of the differences. one of the offers lets me have unlimited classes for all 3. Is it going to have a negative on me (MA learning related OR physically) if i train 3 different types of boxing at the same time? Thks Orcrist
