any muay thai boxers on here?

[omegamale]

just looking for some muay thai boxers that train seriously trying to compete or have competed before. guys that could maybe trade techniques and give some pointers. i'd also like to know some of your training routines. even regular boxers can help to.

really? i thought about trying out a little boxing. how long did you take muay thai? and compare the 2 if you can.

cool. ive been wondering about how other gyms are doing there training compared to mine. how long are your classes? and what are your routines if you dont mind me asking.

[i3raintwo]

our sessions are an hour to an hour and a half. we start with 15mins of jump ropes, 5mins shadow boxing, 3 rounds x 5mins drills(everyday drills are different. ex. clinch work, blocking/countering punches and kicks, etc.) 3-4 rounds x 5 mins on the bag(everyday different combo/drills) we have 2 fast bells one in the middle and at the end(ex. x amount leg/body/head kicks, x amount punches and pushes, etc.) then 200 knees on the bag, then squats, lunges, push ups, mountian climbers, situps. and we're required to run 5 miles a day.

thats just the basic routine. if you fight you have to do that, then spar, then thai pads.

i started out in kung fu, then went to san shou (chinese kickboxing with throws), migrated into muay thai, and started boxing with sanshou but now do it exclusively because i moved.

my workouts were very similar to i3raintwo.
mma.tv has a nice muay thai discussion board where my old coach and teammates hang out.
axkickboxing and defend.net also have some good stuff

I kickbox, but it's not muay thai. We do some muay thai and san sho type stuff tho in addition to judo and jui-jistu, but not predominately that. Haven't fought yet, but im thinking about it.

integrating, kicking and punching, great for abs... thai fighters got strong abs man...
mauy thai would be a great cross-trainer for boxing.

that sounds intense, how often do u do that session? do u fight, u didnt say.

Normal training for me is a light run then some shadowboxing, stretching, padwork and/or partnered dutch style drills (with gloves and shinnies) then sparring.

Obviously theres some conditioning stuff too, normally bodyweight exercises and medicine ball stuff, but i only really bother with that in the weeks leading up to a fight. Also run intervals (6x2 minute running or skipping with 1 minute breaks) in my own time but again i only really start running seriosuly when i have a fight coming up.

How about you omega? do u train or fight thai? Anyone wanna share their records? mines 6-3-1. in that theres 7 c class (3x2 minute rounds, no elbows or knees to the head, no padding) and 3 b class (5x2 minutes elbows to the body knees to the head). I hear it works slightly differently in the u.s wot r the rules and organisation like there?
