Fire cobra, mate if I can do once a day at 50 ill be pleased too.
My personal feeling is that it might be more productive to have a run and functional strength training ie ross boxing style stuff in the morning as opposed to doing and actual thai boxing training.
Would be interesting to see how that worked out in thailand, id be interested to see the boxers fight with another 4kg or so of functional muscle on them.
any thoughts on this?

Thanks Ghost,
To be honest ive never really looked into the Ross methods(i will now) and ive never give any thought to how the Thai boys would function with more muscle.
I have however gave thought to the way they de-hydrate so much,and often think if they cut down on there 2x daily training would it make a big difference?,i think the answers i have come up with is that because they retire young(in the main) they can get away with the de-hydration thing without long term damage,on the training regime perhaps its because what else would they do? training keeps them in the gym,as you well know most camps are like big families,the young up and coming boxers dont drink,smoke(most of em!) or fornicate,wheras if they had more free time perhaps they may be more prone to these and other things,im not saying these thoughts are correct,just my humble opinions at the moment.
The big thing i like about Martial arts training is the technical aspects,ive never been into MA for the fitness,im not lazy its just the tecnical movements and strategys fascinate me.
As ive gotten older i have had a lot more injurys than i ever had,and it seems the harder i train the more it happens,very frustrating!,im now at the point where im thinking 10 years ahead to when im 60(bloody hell!) we have only got one body to go with us into older age so i dont want anything i do now to affect me adversily in the future,so i am looking to nutrition and perhaps to weight training for protection and prevention of injurys,i realise that may bring its own problems so im just at the research stage,any thoughts?.
