Kensai Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Not that this will be all that helpful, but if you start Hsing I at 80, you will be next to useless, it takes a lifetime to perfect. Not to put Mauy Thai down, I think it is a deadly style, but if you start Hsing I at say 20, you would be an amazing fighter by the time you are say 30, and by the time you are 80, you will only get better at it. Thats MO anyway. Take Care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai_Kick Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Sorry G95champ you contradicted yourself on your statment. Quote: - "Relax and please watch you use of certin words. I love to see people as emotional but this is just a discussion board so please take it for that. " - "Again please watch the words you use. Thanks" - "We all have ideas we think are best so lets express them freely." So I can express myself freely but I can't express myself using certian words? (p!ss & hell)? What wrong with these words? That's like a communist country saying you are all free people, but we own you and everything you have? Sorry G95champ it dosen't make sence! Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molson style Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 sure u could keep training. u'll get weaker while u get older, and probably won't wanna compete. but a 70 year old mt guy could still kick some ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffin Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Common misconception no 1. You don't see old muay thai people, you just don't see them compete just like any other MA. I have mentioned master sken before because he is the leading practitioner and trainer in this country and is no spring chicken I might add. He does however still do unbelievably athletic kicks etc. Common misconception no 2. Kung fu people train longer than muay thai people because of the heavy conditioning and brutal bone on bone contact. Check out one of the most popular kung fu's in china called choy lee fut (many modern wushu blends contain a lot of it) This art involves heavy amounts of conditioning on arms and legs and they strike with the shin as well. If you learn things like tai chi properly then yes you also do conditioning, believe it or not it really is a martial art and some of the latter stages of training are even more intense than most if taught by that particular teacher. My info on that one is from wong kie kit "the art of shaolin kung fu" if anyone knows more about it let me know. The superior man is modest in his speech, but excels in his actions.Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC)Crosstraining in bjj/silat/muaythai/jkd/JJJ/kickboxing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
