Serious question what's the difference between learning these sweeps in a judo club Vs kickboxing club?

yeah

>>241179
Judo and wrestling throws have multiple points of contact, usually 2-3 with only 1 point of contact being very situational. Off-balancing someone to setup a throw or takedown usually happens after you already have a grip on somebody. Throws in striking involve much fewer points of contact and the off-balancing is usually achieved with strikes and feints from a longer distance before contact is made.

On a meta level, muay thai throws (even the ones similar to judo throws) are purposely done differently due to anti-Japanese sentiment in Thailand as a result of World War 2. For example, you can sweep with the side of the foot, but not the bottom because that's "too much like judo".

>>241179
You can't sweep without establishing grips, it's considered a kick by the rules if i remember correctly. Also you should turn your foot and hit with your sole in judo.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

Gonna start Muay Thai this week. Used yo do boxing, last time was in september 2021, haven't done much exercising since.

I'd like shoot boxing a lot more if the clinches didn't get reset, and the match straight-up ended when someone fell.

>>241179
In Judo, you will learn to throw off your opponent's balance, then sweep him. Here you will use his own momentum against him, much more like Aikido.

>"For a beginner in Muay Thai, start with a less frequent training schedule, such as 1-2 times a week, to let your body adjust to the intense workouts. As you become accustomed to the physical demands, you can gradually increase the frequency to 3-5 times a week to see faster improvement and potentially compete"

Is this true or should one be training the most when just starting out to build muscle memory?

>>241700
i would imagine you'd want to go light on the conditioning and heavy on the technical work to start with- it'll probably depend on your coach though

>ANPO SIGNED WITH ONE FUCK YEAH
>see who his debut is against
uh oh

>>241179
Muay thai has stricter rules about sweeps, lots of judo sweeps are actually illegal
The very rough rule of thumb is a sweep that looks like a kick is okay, but using the pad of the foot, or the heel to the rear (e.g. osoto gari) is illegal and might be called by the ref
It's specifically because thais don't like japanese, for uh no reason whatsoever, so they don't want japanese judo-ey sweeps in their sport, but the reality of kickboxing is that you can kick out someone's leg, so the result is a specific way to sweep that is fine

Hey, fatty fat fat here, I took my first class today, couple questions.
>1. my coach said I get the best bang for my buck if I order proper muay thai boxing gloves with pinky protection from the head coach, they sell for about twice of what the cheapest pair of Outshock boxing gloves cost in Sports Direct, scam or deal?
>2. What the hell am I supposed to do when someone advances on me and keeps a combo up in sparring?
>3. I did a tiny bit of boxing and I noticed the guys never defend body jabs and they have trouble defending jabs in general, specifically square down the middle, am I onto something or am I being retarded here and unkowingly exposing myself for a knee or something when I change level and do a body jab?

>>242600
>my coach said I get the best bang for my buck if I order proper muay thai boxing gloves with pinky protection from the head coach, they sell for about twice

Lol

>>242600
>>242607
What the fuck even is "pinky protection"?

>>242609
I don't fucking know I just started, he said there's a reinforced part over the pnky side so when you block a kick your finger doesn't break.

>>242612
That sounds like some ole made up bullshit

>>242615
Idk maybe he meant that instead of having most of the padding around the knuckles it's more even or something? It's like 60 bucks so idk if it's worth it.

My legs are wood, the stretching is killing me but it's cool.

So I almost signed up to the MT/ kickboxing gym but then It made me download some app and then all of a sudden the membership prices are mysteriously higher in the app, and some of the classes advertised on their website no longer exists on the app so I thought fuck that..

Did I dodge a bullet? Seems like a dishonest practice

>>244221
Gyms have apps? Is that common? I've never seen that.

>>244250
Yeah apparently. Where you have to "pre book" the session. I'm guessing it's so you can't go more than your membership allows

It's clearly a "reputable" and fancy gym, the guys been around for years. I just find it dishonest that suddenly once you download the app and fill in your details, classes are suddenly missing and memberships are either more expensive or unavailable, compared to the website (which says it's supposed to be accurate)

And the only way to buy membership is through the app. Oh well

>>244250
If it makes more sense, it's a generic app called "club right". I'm guessing multiple clubs use it for members to book sessions etc

>>244221
It could be deliberate or it could just be a lazy lack of synchronization. Sounds annoying to deal with either way.

>>244250
>>244253
One of the weightlifting gyms near me uses some kind of generic membership app (forget what it's called, don't feel like looking it up). From reading reviews of the app it looks like all kinds of gyms use it and that people find all kinds of problems with it but gym owners keep using it anyway because they're lazy and it's "good enough." I don't want to download an app to use the gym (particularly if the app has tedious problems) so I didn't join and bought weights to use at home instead.

>>244255
Yeah stuff like this really puts me off. I noticed a LOT of martial arts gyms are very vague when it comes to pricing. It's all either "call this number" so they can bullshit you or you have to really dig hard to find the pricing.
I don't think they know how many customers they are losing thanks to unprofessional shit like this. First impressions are everything in business

>>240529
Suggestions for youtube channels with good info like training, techniques, not matches?

>>244495
Jeff-chan, Bazooka Joe, Gabriel Varga, Damien Trainor, Ramsey Dewey, PowerTraining, hard2hurt, Armchair Violence, ShortBoxing, Bambara Boxing, Skillr boxing, The Modern Martial Artist, George Hardwick, Bas Rutten, Liam Harrison, Bang & Pivot. These are the most recurring ones in my training playlist, and i gotta say, these channels + watching and imitating fighters i like improved my game immensely

>>240529
Is 1 year MT 3 days a week enough to become dangerous?

Just did kicks on the heavy bag for the first time

Even though I aimed to hit with my shin, my foot caught the bag a few times, and now my toes and foot are bruised

I can stand and walk on them, but it stings if I move them around.

Is this normal? will my feet toughen up over time?
Wait until the bruises have gone or train through it?

>>245164
Yes it's normal, you can keep training unless you train every day and the pain is really bad.

>>245205

Where do I aim for on the head/face in sparring?

Is there an etiquette for it? I figured in boxing it was top of the forehead if you're being "nice"

>>245606
I was told to punch for the forehead

should i get into kickboxing or muay thai? zero experience in martial arts

>>246993
Kickboxing is better

Tbh 99% of places are just cardio kickboxing labelled as muay Thai

>>246994
How do you know it's one of those places? No sparring?

Been training for 3 months as a total beginner, boxing is so much fun guys. Sure it hurts taking punch to the head, but you know, that's part of the reason why it is so fun. I have also enrolled in the next 6 months learning kickboxing.

>>246993
I'm a total beginner too, and the roadmap that the instructors gave me is boxing -> kickboxing -> muay thai -> mma.
As for sparring, my class usually do it in the last training day of the week, since you can take quite the damage and the weekend will heal you up. Other than that, you could try asking the people there to spar with you, or even the instructors to spar with you. I prefer the instructors since they are pro and they know to control the punching power.
Honestly, my advice is to find the closest mma gym close to your home/ your workspace and enroll, stop thinking too much. The day I enroll, I don't even know what the fuck going on. I just enroll and entrust the process to the instructors.

>>247388

i hear you, but i just really want to get into muay thai right off the bat. spent some time watching vids of it to hype me up. how much should classes per month be? cause im in LA, by the LAX area and everything here seems to be $200 a month minimum. I also have to worry about the schedule cause i work full time but in the evenings.

> i just really want to get into muay thai right off the bat
I mean if you insist to get right into muay thai, you do you. But personally, I think it's a really silly thought. You said you've never done any martial art before, and jumping right into muay thai is like, jumping right into coding a full stack application when you've never done a single leetcode in you life(if you get the coding reference). It's ridiculous, the teachers might just laugh behind their back, and the more experienced students will absolutely kick your shit in during sparring. Not to mention how brutal it is jumping head first to the hardest training, you might just quit. I think it's better to move gradually anon, you should treat martial arts as something you will do for the rest of your life, not just something you can rush a few months and be done with it.

>how much should classes per month be
I don't live in America so i don't know, just go and ask them bro. Contact them through social media or something, all training camps have them nowadays. But probably they will hide the true price, usually they are a little more expensive than what they initially advertised on the web. Over here, mine is around 40 dollar per month, and you paid 6 months in advance.

>I also have to worry about the schedule cause i work full time but in the evenings.
They usually have classes from dawn till dusk, so maybe in the afternoon or in the early morning?

>>247500
i hear you. if thats the case then what decided if id be ready to move into kickboxing etc

>>247591
the most important part is getting started, anon. Just do it, it doesn't matter if it 's not the optimal choice. Just do it, even if you chose the wrong thing, it's still a lesson to be learnt. Still so much better than spending time thinking, and then wasting of that effort doing nothing in the end.

been obsessed with Yoza, unfortunately my feet are not made of uranium like his so it's been hard learning all his little tricks. love his high guard though, gets me mauled in muaythai but super effective in K-1 rules

you referring to the toe kicks or the instep/foot kicks?

He demonstrates some of his kicks with Masato here, definitely uses the ball of the foot for his yoza kick
https://youtu.be/S3xbyraaSEk (15:48)
Also he says he runs 30km a day, three 10k runs every day, based
Also I'm only just discovering that there seem to be a lot more videos of him in japanese, here's him sparring with takeru for example

The flute thats played during Muay Thai fights. Personally I love all the superstitious bullshit like wearing a bit of your moms clothes on your bicep.

must be on some peptides that help with ligament healing. No way his knees can take that

>>249199
>he says he runs 30km a day, three 10k runs every day
Is that even possible to do alongside all the other training? There are some that run 40km multiple days in a row, but it is often presented as a short term challenge, and running marathons is all they train for. Is Japan one of those cultures where you are just expected to lie as an athlete? Feels like it was super common in the past to see insane made up workout routines, but at least in the west it has died down.

>>249476
well i know a lot of thais simply lie about going on the runs their coaches tell them to do (Buakaw, for example)

>>249481
lol what? do you have the interview? maybe he's joking

Last week of my gyms training semester and I still can't spar due to a tooth concussion.

>>249585
Did you see a dentist?

>>249624
Yes, it felt almost loose and was painful to eat/brush. I didn't want to lose a tooth, so I was extra cautious. He said it seemed like a clear "tooth concussion" and probably not any nerve damage. He advised me to check in again in 3 weeks to be sure and make sure not to get hit there again.
