What. Have you ever been thai clinched? Have you ever had your kick blocked, shin on shin?
- aeontech 16y agoYup. That hurts like hell. I try to catch the kick with my calf and turn it away, but it's difficult. Timing and distance is everything. I probably spoke rashly though, I don't really know enough about it to make generalizations like that. I take it back.
- coryl 16y agoIt's all good, muay thai respect has been restored :) It's easy to forget what real muay thai is, because of the mindless training we condition our bodies to. Hitting the pads or hitting the bag is not fighting. Coach always use to say, "be conscious of your body at all times. pretend your pad holder is your opponent. otherwise, you're just masturbating...hitting something to make slapping sounds to feel good about yourself." training != sparring != fighting
- christonog 16y agoYes. You can look really good on pads, but when it's time to get in the ring, your technique and endurance goes to shit.

- aeontech 16y agoI have, actually. Very impressive, very acrobatic.
