dude, with myopia it is dangerous to engage in martial arts, because the greater the minus, the higher the chance of blindness, retinal detachment, etc.
I still feel better seeing. As a wrestler i had to focus on color and motion. But i could wrestle in the dark with my eyes closed very well. But boxing is a little different. Faster paced and you have to see your way around the sport. As opposed to wrestling where you feel your way around the sport. But if you won a championship i believe it is possible and i will figure it out. #TeamLegallyBlind
The problem is that muay thai is essentially modified in the U.S and other countries that isn’t thailand, basically what they do is change the muay thai stance & guard, and implement more boxing, but keep the knees & elbows & clinch & sweeps, so it isn’t “pure muay thai” pure muay thai doesn’t have a lot of movement and you’re too squared which is screaming for a takedown, basically if you go to a mma gym you’ll learn western kickboxing + Muay Thai combined, pure muay thai is arguably not better than something like kickboxing that implements the same principles as muay thai like clinch & sweep
Can you do a video on throwing a hook with both hand for single jab and single cross when it coming in with body mechanics on how to get shot off when those punches are coming in
Thanks for posting, I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Different sport, but I wrestled in high school with contacts and did ok. I also would just take off my glasses, but I couldn’t tell when people were talking to me because I couldn’t see for eye contact!
For effectiveness, use a gun and no training is reqd. That is better than Krav Magna which is a bastardised version of a potpouri of other well established disciplined martial arts.
Thank you for this. Tomorrow is my first sparring session and today my eye lens popped out after a really light hit I took. I was wondering what others do and now I know!
I just started boxing at 57....mostly for working out, but I want to learn to box...Randomly, My left hand hurts where my wrist connects to my thumb, but i never get to any pain when palm in.....
👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Some facts about Muay Chaiya: The Muay from the city of Chaiya mainly refers to a certain Ajarn Ket Sriyapai. Ket Sriyapai was the son of a governor who was active in sports promotion and brought Muay Veti fighters (Muay Thai) from Chaiya to Bangkok to promote them there. Ajarn Khet never learned Muay Thai himself. The only reason why he is called "Ajarn" is that he has written and published some (fictional) stories about Muay Thai fighters. Ajarn Ket came from a high-ranking family and therefore never fought in a boxing ring. That would have been inappropriate for his standing. His actual profession was civil servant in the building industry. Later Muay Chaiya generations (for example Ket's school friend Tonglor Yalee) mixed normal Muay Thai techniques with Silat (Indonesia), Wushu (China) and Jiu Jitsu (Japan). For these reasons Muay Chaiya, and everything that comes from this direction, can neither be called an old nor a real Thai martial art.

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Some facts about Muay Korat: General Amnat Pookrisuk is a senior military officer who in his spare time teaches his own interpretations of Muay Veti (Muay Thai) to foreigners. Throughout his military career he has never fought in a boxing ring. He was never qualified as a Muay Thai teacher (Krob Kru) and is only an admirer of this sport. His famous „water buffalo technique“ comes from the (supposedly fictional) stories of Ajarn Ket Sriyapai. Amnat likes to teach outside Thailand when he is on a business trip. Because he is a senior member of the military, he cannot be prosecuted. He knows many Thaiboxers through his participation in the betting business at Lumpini Stadium. He only learned Judo and Taekwondo from his military training. He mixed these styles with normal Muay Thai techniques and exports them abroad. Occasionally he claims to be able to do Ling Lom, but this is not true. Muay Korat was never in a Muay Thai fight and can neither be called an ancient nor a pure Thai martial art.

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Some facts about Kru Muay Association: The Kru Muay Association originated from the separation of the amateur Muay Thai from the professional Muay Thai. This division pursued the goal to have Muay Thai recognized as an Olympic discipline by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). A project that has not been successful until today. The officials of professional Muay Thai would like to have nothing to do with Kru Muay. For them this club is only a necessary evil. If you take a closer look, you will notice that all the so-called traditional teachers of the Kru Muay Thai Association have simply appointed each other as teachers and are now worshipped by wealthy foreigners once a year. The whole association is very political, but has less fighting competence than an average boxer in Rajadamnern Stadium or a Buakauw (who is a Cambodian and not a Thai by the way). Despite comprehensive state support, the Kru Muay Association still has no coherent teaching concept for traditional Muay Boran and Muay Thai is still not Olympic.

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻 Some facts about Muay Lopburi: The Muay from the city of Lopburi is just normal Muay Veti (Muay Thai) that tries to ride the Muay Boran wave. It has no special technical features and is definitely not Ling Lom. Muay Lopburi became known by the film "Ong Bak“. The naming of the techniques is strongly based on the Rammakian saga. The Rammakian is a stage-play that was translated into Thai language under the reign of King Rama II. (1809-1824) and thus became widespread. As a result, many of the so-called „ancient techniques" of Muay Lopburi cannot be older than 200 years. Members of the Muay Lopburi have not yet been able to answer the question of what their techniques were called before. that time.

OK, annoying Mr Semantics Nate Poodle is here to say some things that will probably get ignored by everyone. "Kickboxing" is a description - in the same way "mixed martial arts" is a description. "Muay Thai" IS a type of kickboxing (it is after all boxing with kicks). Yes, I am aware that you are referring to the thing that has, in English language, has been referred to as "Kickboxing". Japanese people obviously speak in Japanese - not English. The term "kickboxing" regardless of its reference to Japanese Kickboxing is a DESCRIPTION, not a NAME. There are Kickboxing styles in various different countries across the globe. I really wish people would stop using these non-trademarkable descriptions as if they were a name or specific label.
