muay thai (thai boxing)


Recommended Posts

i did my 1st interclub last sunday iv been doin thai boxin for 15 months ish my opponent has been doin chinese kickboxing for 6 years it was his 4th fight lol for the 1st minute i was doin fine holding my own no problems then he hit me with a kick iv never heard of let alone seen.its called a horse kick you spin round off the spot like tkd whilst spinning you kick your heel backwards he hit me absolutely perfect absolutely NAILED me.

i hit the deck in real pain my lungs didnt work at all couldnt breath in or out for a very long feww secs dragged myself off the floor and very nearly passed out tunnel vision the lot hehe carried on as best i could.

i never got my breath back for the whole fight it was no win but in reality he won no question lol. on the way home i felt a bit like id let ppl down i watched the video after and was suprised to find a good few positives in it . my boxing was non existent my kicks were ok but really hampered by the lack of boxin.

i never found out how my stamina held up because i got nailed. the good points were he never really landed anything other than that iv got no bruises or bumps apart from iv probably broken/fratured 1 or 2 ribs haha.

he was throwing a few high kicks that id never seen before but im happy and suprised at my defense at the time i didnt see anything coming but on the vid im still defending it so the reactions are something like correct. he didnt bully me round too much i didnt just sit in the corner getting filled in too much despite bein on the verge of collapse for alot of it.

there are things i need to work on but theres things im doin ok too i went boxin the day after and everybody seems to think i did well they said i did well to get up after that kick too lol my god it hurt hehe. deffo doin another 1 and il do it better

ps he was 6 ft and 77kg im 6ft 2 and 82kg

ps broken/fractured ribs are pretty tricky when ur up and down ladders for a livin

our instructor is john steele hes ex british champion even he sadi i did well to get up and finish the fight

pps thats my father in law saying i got that as he got a photo of my hittin the deck horizontal rofl
