Anyone into Muay Thai?

[gorgeous_me]

tama, nakaka-addict ang muay thai, wala atang session ang hindi sumakit ang katawan ko, dahil pahirap ng pahirap, haha...mapipiga na din yung shirt and pants ko sa basa, lol...ano kaya pwende ilagay sa toes para hindi magkaroon ng blisters?

[sarsingkit]

^lagyan mo ng medical tape. yun white na tape na pandikit sa mga gauze pads. 50php per roll ata. if you want ng mas matibay, leukoplast ata yung brand, fabric material nun tapos may adhesive din pero kailangan pa ng scissors to cut it.

buti kayo nakapants, samin kailangan bare yung shin. at ang hirap magjogging ng barefoot pala ha.

[gorgeous_me]

thanks for the tip sarsingkit
yup, pwede naman nakajogging pants, wala naman sinasabi si coach, hehe, minsan ng gusto nyang lagyan ng shield yung shin ko, para daw hindi masaktan, kaso nakakalimutan naman nya, haha...
mahirap ngang magjog ng nakabarefoot, yung pinagawa naman ni coach for warm up last weekend, squats at sandamakmak n sipa, ang sakit tuloy ng hita ko ngayon, warm up pa lang yun, naubos n energy ko, haha

[sarsingkit]

^gusto kasi nung coach namin nakikita nya na umuusli yung buto sa shin sa kicks and when using the knees. masakit nga sya sa hita. sana ma-achieve ko yung nak muay sexy legs. hehe. natutuwa ako sa mga guys na na nagmumuay thai kasi lean and firm talaga yung katawan.

[gorgeous_me]

^ay tama k dyan, sabi ko kay coach, baka lumaki yung legs ko, sabi nya, hindi lalaki yan, gaganda pa yan, hehe, nakakatuwa nga yung kasabay ko na guy, maganda yung katawan nya, makikita mo talaga, nagpupumiglas yung mga muscles nya, hehe

[sanggre_ng_lamanlupa]

pwede bang mag-enroll aga ng muay thai without having a boxing training? o ok lang na dumerecho na agad ng muay thai training? TIA mga sis..

[sarsingkit]

^i think so kasi ituturo naman sayo lahat. just make sure you have the endurance and pain tolerance for it. kaya mo yan! goodluck sis! enjoy sya promise. nakakawala ng stress.

[rastagurl11]

sis sarsingkit: sorry for replying only now. It's nice to hear you've finally tried MT, it's really ok for your boxing trainer if you wanna switch to MT. I also started with boxing kasi.

For the blisters on your feet, that's normal, 3 months into muay and mawawala rin yan kasi kakapal na yung balat mo sa paa. And yes, sexy legs in the making ang muay. Plus lots of benefits.

I train wearing only ankle guards but I wear mouth guard and shin guards when I spar 

Get used to body pains and occassional bruises, it's part of the sport. Sabi nga ng kru ko, it will make you stronger, di magtatagal you won't feel pain anymore and it will all be just itchy. Before, i use to cringe pag tumatama yung siko sa shins ko, or if our knees collide during clinches, ngayon, sanay narin ako. 

[gorgeous_me]

^nagspar k na pala sis, hindi ba kayo kinakapos ng hininga? kapos na ako ng hininga, pero gusto ko pang sumipa at sumuntok, kakaloka, hehe, na-addict na din ako sa muay thai, yun lang, once a week lang ako nakakapunta pero ok naman, masaya pa din, hehe, last time lang ako nilagyan i coach ng shin guard, kasi, hindi ko dala yung ankle support ko, parang mas masarap sumipa kapag may shin guard, hehe

[sarsingkit]

^^oo nga sis, nag-spar ka na pala. yung 3minutes of MT is like the longest 3 minutes of my life. haha. first time ko magmakaawa sa trainor nung monday. im on my fourth round na tapos gusto nung pinaka master (who was just watching sa labas ng ring) na ituloy namin sa 5th round. napa"ayoko na kuya" ako. haha. pero chinicheer ako nung mga ibang trainor and shouting "sapakin mo!" haha. natuwa naman ako. pareho kaming natatawa nung trainor.

yung tito ng husband ko gave him the big punching bag pero hindi pa nya pinipick up. sabi ko kunin na agad so i can pratice. adik lang.

question: if you have your menstrual period, nagmumuay pa ba kayo?

[gorgeous_me]

^yes I did sis, last weekend lang, nagkaroon ako, haha, pero expected ko na yun e, kahit hindi pa ako nagmumuay thai, kapag may period ako, nageexercise ako, kaya sabi ko, ok lang din sa muay thai, kasi I read somewhere na mas mabilis magburn kapag meron ka, hehe
pero if you're not comfortable, wag na lang siguro, ako kasi, parang wala ako non e, same pa din

natawa ako sis sarsingkit, parang na-imagine ko yung sinabi mo, tama ka, yung 3minutes na yun, was the longest 3min of my life, as in, lagi akong napapatingin, at sinasabi ni coach, hindi pa tapos, haha, nagmamakaawa din ako sa kanya, LOL

[rastagurl11]

Sa umpisa kakapusin ka ng breath talaga, pero as you go along, you build your stamina. Learning MT is a continuous process, may time na malakas ako, may time na 2 rounds palang ng spar, pagod na ako. Iba ang pagod sa mitts pero super iba ang sparring.

I only use the shin guards pag sparring pero when I do the heavy bag, ankle guard lang talaga. Masarap sumipa with or without the shin guards 

I still train kahit may period, I use tampons nga lang para hindi hassle and I can kick freely.  (Sorry if it's too much info. I just figured it's a tip for those na naiilang to train pag may period.)

I like it when my kru pushes me to my limit, alam kasi nila na kaya pa natin kaya minsan even if we feel like giving up, pinapasipa pa nila tayo. It will eventually make you stronger. next thing you know, long lasting na kayo sa sessions niyo. 

[yukishih]

Sis, puede ba mag mt na walang sparring. Hahaha. Ayaw ko kasi ng ganun baka mabalian ako. Hahaha. Gusto ko lang talaga total body workout and at the same time learn. Labo ko. Hahaha. How much monthly? San kayo enrolled? Malapit ako sa bayani road yung kay monsour del rosario medyo hesitant ako kasi maliit ako eh. Dyahe.

[gorgeous_me]

^ok lang walang ka-sparring, yung coach mo lang ang papagod sa'yo
ayoko din kasi ng may ka-sparring, well sa ngayon, hehe, kakatakot din kasi, lol
me, sa elorde, 300 ang mt kapag member ka, kapag walk in, not sure kung 350 or 400, parang ganon

[yukishih]

Thank you,sis.

[sarsingkit]

^^haha. actually medyo takot din ako nung una pag nagtetrain kami ng coach tapos mag nagsspar sa tabi. pero ngayon sanay na. ummuupo pa kami sa loob ng ring habang may nag-sspar. sa elorde mandaluyong kasi, they encourage/pilit the boys to spar. may one time na girl na magaling na, nagspar sya with a boy na beginner. tawa lang sila ng tawa. para na kasi kaming class. minsan less training with coach pero paguran sa conditioning.

^sis yukishih, try mo. sobrang saya

[rastagurl11]

Don't worry ladies, you are not required or forced to spar. Pwede naman if you just wanna train for total body work-out 

Ibang level kasi ang sparring. Ubos lahat ng energy niyo. Pero I like it kasi that's where I get to apply all the combinations my kru taught me. Hinahanahanap ko rin pag walang sparring sessions ang training ko.

[sanggre_ng_lamanlupa]

^i think so kasi ituturo naman sayo lahat. just make sure you have the endurance and pain tolerance for it. kaya mo yan! goodluck sis! enjoy sya promise. nakakawala ng stress.

thanks sis! 

[sarsingkit]

sis rastagurl11, i am scheduled to spar on monday. how i do i caught the sparring partner in surprise? para makaisa lang ako. yung pinakaexperienced kru yung makakaspar eh. hehe. sana makareply ka bago pa ako mabugbog or just any tips in general will do. thanks for all the help in advance.

[rastagurl11]

sarsingkit: naku, maraming pwedeng gawin but it's hard to explain, ganito, fake it, kunwari you'll do a roundhouse to the head switch to push kick, or look at the face of your opponent as if you'll punch then do a low kick to the thigh or vice versa. Diyan mo maaapply lahat ng combinations na tinuturo sayo sa padwork. And the progress is amazing, spar ka lang and the next thing you know, you're getting better na.

I'll have my first fight this July 22. I am scared!
