Based. No more brothers wars.
Should I join my local muay Thai gym
>>241128Serious question what's the difference between learning these sweeps in a judo club Vs kickboxing club?
>>241177yeah>>241179Judo 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".
>>241179You 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.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BUUvqxi_Kk
>>241293AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
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.
>>241179In 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?
>>241700i 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 againstuh oh
>>241179Muay thai has stricter rules about sweeps, lots of judo sweeps are actually illegalThe 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 refIt'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 twiceLol
>>242600>>242607What the fuck even is "pinky protection"?
>>242609I 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.
>>242612That sounds like some ole made up bullshit
>>242615Idk 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.
