Anyone into Muay Thai?

[mikaway]

Hey Girls, read the whole tread... i was just wondering, any of you know a gym who offers muay thai with female instructor? Wanna enroll my friend in this class kasi for her birthday gift. but the problem is my friend is really shy and medjo may pagka man conscious siya. (meaning she feels very uncomfortable with guys specially kung it involves touches, skinship or any physical contact.) natatakot akong baka hindi rin nya gamitin kung di female ang instructor.

Parang wala... Kasi just imagine the impact on the instructor whenever a kick or blow flies from the client. Kelangan matigas buto nila to handle such. But maybe you can try asking fight clubs like  fight factory located at tomas morato.

^ most Muay Thai Gym is populated by men, so the need for a Lady Instructor is not really needed.  And if ever there is, she should be too tough to handle kicks, punches and endurance to stay ON.  Even professional Lady Fighters has Male instructors.  At Libis Peñalosa Gym has Guy trainor with professional experience.

I think, Male instructors for this activity is better than female considering the impact of punches and kicks.

[buffy133]

Buffy133: i stil train kahit may period, tampons kang katapat niyan. I can't miss training kasi sayang yung program.

[buffy133]

hi! okay ba ang muay thai for weight loss? or boxing muna?
pinag-iisipan ko kasi kung alin sa dalawa..
nag-try kasi akong mag-gym dati, pumayat naman ako, kaso nung huminto ako, ayun, tumaba..

parang kapag sports kasi, mas magiging engaged ka..
ano kaya ang mas okay?

help pls...

I suggest do Boxing muna to get the proper form.  In Muay thai kase, combination of Punches and Kicks yun.  Baka mabigla ka, ma shock at di ka na uulit.  Siguro try mo muna mag Boxing and feel mo muna mga ilang session dun then decide if youre ready for the Muay Thai na.  Ang madalas kase na reklamo ng direstsong Muay thai, naba-blackout sila at habol na habol sa hininga.  But if you have a background in Kicks and punches, posible na kayanin mo direto Muay thai.  Congrats

[gorgeous_me]

^I agree with hornboy, sa boxing muna talaga ako non, then inoffer sa akin ng trainor ko kung gusto ko mag muay thai, kasi nag-inquire din naman ako, nakakatuwa kasi may sipa, lahat talaga gagalaw, but then, while doing my 1st session in muay thai, medyo nahilo ako, haha, once lang naman, LOL, after that hindi na, pero grabe pa din ang pagod ko sa muay thai

ngayon, malamang balik na naman ako sa dati, sobrang hingal, haha, tagal ko ng hindi nakapagbox/muay thai, nyahaha

[anjguevarra]

thanks po sa mga advice.. siguro try ko na muna mag-boxing..

may background naman akong kaunti sa kicks, pero matagal na, as in nung college pa ako, sa PE namin.. and sa judo karate sya.. eh ibang form ata kasi yun..

buti nakita ko ito agad, kasi magtetake na ako ng unang session(parang testing muna) for muay thai mamaya.. pwede ko naman baguhin siguro, boxing na lang muna.. 

[annamarie88]

i wanna try muay thai also.. pero box muna tom sa tomas.. yay kailangan ko ng matinding cardio hehe

[chase_23]

[chase_23]

[sweetylicious143]

ok lang kaya i-alternate ko in a week ang pag ggym then muay thai.

[rastagurl11]

^yes sis, ok lang esp if you still have energy and you're not so sore from training 

[ceejhei]

i do boxing but sabi ng coach ko, mag muay thai kami last night. i tried and mas comfortable ako gawin to kesa sa boxing, kasi he figured out na kapag "hindi okay ang kamay, malamang mas magaling sa paa" he's referring sa pag sipa. hahaha! and tama nga, mas madali daw ako matuto sa muay thai.

i find it more challenging than boxing kasi talagang lahat ng parts ng body mo gagalaw. although may kasama pa din itong boxing..
