Conditioning

[Rickster]

They would do muay thai to kick people's asses like yours. Just kidding. But you still are an idiot.

I havent got my ass kicked from Muay Thai.

Amen Jay... I guess some people aren't tough enough for it. The harder you train, the harder your body will get. Conditioning is a huge factor in determining wether you win or lose.

Lose? I haven't lost for 30 years. yet I dont do Muat Thai or any of that hardcore conditioning.

Impoverished isn't it?
Because the style works for some of us. And because once youve had the shit kicked out of you in a gym you dont fear it anymore

Well, actually it was to give it credit.

My explanation of improvished is that people who practice it in Thailand do so for financial gain. A way to rise from such a improvished state of being.

With such determination, was the focus to train hard.
Thus to be ready to win and earn wages.

An improvished state of being gives motivation to train harder.

So as I look upon Muay Thai, I look upon it as a hardcore fighting method, but shadowed by ring competiton. Such competition had financial and skillful gains.

However, it a complete society, I havent met people who needed to train so hard core for this type of training.

Bascially this is training for fighting doesn't mean that it is complete training for self defense.

you're dumb. thats like me saying...why would anyone do tae kwon do?...so they could get their ass whooped by a muay thai guy?...dont say dumb things like that when you probably dont even know what muay thai is.

Yet people DO ask why anyone would do TKD. Or even bash TKD. Yet there is hardcore TKD that is not even presented to the vast public. it seem to get watered once it leaves Korea.

My question was out of curiousity, NOT belittlement.

Because Muay Thai is a good workout and a good form of stand-up self-defense?

It wasnt to be a form of criticism.

I mean to think of it, what is its lure?

I was looking for responses in a postive way.

Like it has this or that, per its pros.

Also, why arent there many hardcore gyms as compared to others?

People make me laugh. Anyway, like Kurt said: just get in there and train hard. That's really all you need. Otherwise look up similar threads like swisscom said.

Are you in thailand and poverished so you have to train this way?

Hi,
I am about to start Muay Thai, so I was wondering if anyone can provide me with some details on how to condition myself for this sport. For example, exercises to harden the elbows, fists, shins and knees.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
