Members Rear Naked Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think you might like Muay Thai more as it is far less frustrating. Especially BJJ in a Gi, damn is it frustrating. You slip up, or dont recognize a set-up from a higher ranked opponent and you land in something like a clock choke, or a {censored}in wrist lock. I know at first BJJ was really frustrating, especially since I was boxing far before I started a Ground game. MT and Boxing is fun in the respect that you rarely ever find yourself landing into a bad trick. Reflexes, and just a muscle memory will go a great way. Almost as if you see your opponents right hand twitch, and your body has already started to slip, or throwing a quick jab to at least, take some steam off his punch. When I head to NYC soon, Im gonna have to Bring my stuff, I would love to roll, maybe light spar in a ring. Itd be good times. MT is gonna make you look all cut, youll need a nickname like STONE KILLER hahahaha LOL im used to the Gi at this point. I was kinda frustrated at first...still get that way sometimes...but i think it has something to do with my size:freak: 5'5'' 130lbs:idea:let me know when you're comin up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thefyn Posted June 11, 2008 Members Share Posted June 11, 2008 Lol that was funny. I think I spotted some broken glass stuck to the MT kittehs wraps. It must have been an early UFC because there was no weight class. I just booked my tickets for Japan. And it turns out the guy who is showing me around is a black belt. Not sure what discipline (got it second hand from my GF) but it was pretty funny. He is the Japan based repair tech for the company I work at (my GF was talking to him as she is the US repairs). he knows we are vacationing there and he asked her: "Does your boyfriend like martial arts? I can show him around the dojos and we can watch some fights. Also does he like to drink? I can give him a tour of the bars." When she told me that I was...WTF? AWESOME!!

Iv only had one match at blue...at the PanAms. I lost by a point, because I dont have a great understanding of the tourney point system...but i should have won that match and it made me feel like i belonged in that division. Im certainly at the bottom of the blues...but a still I think im a true blue id love to roll or spar when you come up. that would be sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rear Naked Posted June 14, 2008 Members Share Posted June 14, 2008 Emel, Since i plan on going on to MT after I get some months of pure boxing, im wondering about the transition. I know that the stance and hand position are totally different... Do you feel that you can still punch as hard, and defend as well as you can whenever you are in a pure boxing stance and position? Ive worked with a few MT guys on the pads.maybe these guys were exceptions,but their punches were more arm-punch like... their kicks were brutal, but they werent bringing the heat with the hands. Do you think that is normal for a MT guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
