Brooks Posted June 29, 2001 Share Posted June 29, 2001 Amateur kickboxing is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.It is an experience you will never forget and will wish on your children and grandchildren. It is an experience known by few but envied by many. If you have any doubts just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiboxerken Posted July 3, 2001 Share Posted July 3, 2001 He didn't kick correctly, that's why it broke. If you notice he doesn't take a 45-degree angle step into the kick and his leg is somewhat straight. This causes the force of his kick to wrap around and come in from the side causing his leg to break when it hit the other guys shield. A proper Muay Thai kick comes in from the front, driving through the opponent. Poor mechanics made this guys leg break. Just kick 'em, they'll understand.- Me Apprentice Instructor under Guro Inosanto in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Filipinno Martial arts.Certified Instructor of Frank Cucci's Linxx system of martial arts.

rookie thaiboxer Posted July 5, 2001 Share Posted July 5, 2001 In Canada you don't have to wear all the protective gear in amateur fights. If you are doing full muay thai, you will always have to wear elbow pads, but headgear and shin pads only have to be agreed upon by the fighters. My promoter usually lets the visiting fighter decide what he or she want to wear. (of course if it is your very first fight, headgear is mandatory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
