[Merged] Muay Thai and Kick Boxing Threads

[minuj23]

I was walking on Metropolitan Avenue in Makati and a guy gave me a flyer. Below is the info. If anyone has been here, I would appreciate if he/she can narrate his/her experience:

World Team USA/ Muay Thai-MMA
4008 Yague Street, Pasong Tamo, Makati City
(next to Philippine Daily Inquirer head office)

* The flyer states that the above-mentioned mixed martial arts gym is "the best and now Makati's largest and most modern mixed martial arts gym."

nagaaccept ba sila ng members na walang experience sa martial arts? maganda sana sa gym na to sobrang lapit lang ng office namin dito.

[jakey_shakey]

Sa elorde ako nag train. P500 membership yung monthly unlimited nila 3k, yung walk in nasa P250. pang 2nd month ko na to super na enjoy ko muay thai at nagka 4 pack abs ako malapit na mag 6 pack the best talaga workout may pagka mahirap pero sulit naman bayad.

Inggit!! Kahit walang martial arts background? Nakakahiya pag di ako makasipa nang mataas. Haha

^ parang may world team usa sa San Francisco, CA akong nakita...or namalikmata lang ako. If you want to focus on MMA with Muay Thai as your primary stand up, then that place looks promising. If you want pure Muay Thai though, I'd recommend a reputable Muay Thai organization(MAP gyms).

In any case, kung walang magbigay ng feedback about that place I think it's best to go and see for yourself.

If I was you though, if proximity is not a big deal, I'd consider gyms/teams who produces good and competitive fighters, i.e. yung mga maraming nananalong fighters sa URcc

This gym is managed by my friend, Mark, and owned by Mr. Tony, as well. I think World Team USA is owned or managed by Mr. Tony din. Not sure yung exact info but i can ask Mark later about it. LOL

There is no membership. Medyo kamahalan lang yung walk-in fee like 500 ata. I forgot since Mark gave me and my friends a free one nung first namin mag-Muay Thai session. But he suggested to avail the group promo na lang para makamura. Yung pinakasulit is yung 8,000php for 20 sessions. Not bad na to.

I talked to Mark regarding the discount which he can give me 30% for me exclusively for our barkada lang. But to my friends around 20% daw if ever we avail the group package. Problem is tinatamad pa yung 2 girl officemates ko. But we will be availing this soon. Plan ko is Tuesday nights every week since busy ako sa basketball on other days.

The trainer is Kru Maxell or Maxwell. Former URCC champ. Okey naman sha at magaling at pasenshoso. I will talk to my officemates this week kung itry na namin this week and talk to Mark for the possible sched kung me slot pa since i was informed na merong group na ata nag-aavail ng mga Muay Thai classes nila.

oo naman. ako nga hinde ako marunong sumipa nung first time ko ilang beses ako bumagsak sa training pero tuturuan ka naman nila ngayon ok na ako nakakasipa na at nakakasuntok na. Magsipag ka lang sa training as days passed by magugulat ka na lang gumagaling ka na.

[Meanie!!]

Yep ok yang World Team USA. Apparently, I have friends who are connected...and these guys have experience not just here but also abroad. May tournament daw sa Sabado btw.

BTW mas maganda nga minsan na walang prior martial arts experience, kasi mas maganda maturuan at wala pang 'habits' na galing sa ibang martial arts. Example kung nag Taekwondo noon, minsan mahirap turuan nang proper thai-style kick.

[jakey_shakey]

Salamat mga brad! May bago na naman akong pagkakaabalahan. Hanap muna ako ng malapit na elorde.

[v1n0]

TYIA!

TYIA!

Shorts, t-shirt.
Hand wraps.


Gloves


Nakapaa pag mag MT so no need for shoes.

[Baltasar]

Meron ba ditong mga full time nagtratraining? Papano sched ng training nyo?

[Meanie!!]

Hindi ako full time bro pero kung gusto mo fulltime, pwedeng :

monday to saturday, 6-830 am and around 4-6 pm.

Usually ganyan ang sched nang fulltime fighter.

Kung wala namang malapit na competition/tournament, pwedeng roadwork/cardio sa umaga tapos sa hapon yung ensayo talaga.

Of course

[Baltasar]

Eto tol yung sched ko.

MWF

Train,Lift(puro light lang)

TTH

Takbo, stretching, rest

Sat-Sun

Swim/Rest, stretch


Nahihirapan ako ayusin yung sched ko, sabi naman sa gym ibahin ko daw yung araw ng endu tsaka training ko.

[Meanie!!]

Anong goal mo bro? Kung lalaban ka, syempre focus mo talaga muay thai. Twice a day ka magtetrain lalo na kung malapit na laban.

Pero kung tipong weekend warrior na gusto mo lang gumaling sa MT tapos gumandakatawan mo, ok na yan pero I advice lift heavy kahit konting reps lang pero do your high rep(light weight) training parin after your heavy lifting. Sa heavy lifting mo kasi makukuha yung raw power. example yung ginawa ni marquez. You can research strength training programs like yung kay Jim Wendler na 531 or chad's juggernaut method. Marami sa internet nyan.

Kung ite-tweak ko yan, assuming once a day ka lang magtraining:

MWF - Buhat then HIIT tipong tabata or skip ropes.
TThS - Muay Thai + running TTH then swimming Saturday.
Sunday Rest day. Church day

Yung stretching pwede mo gawin sa bahay anytime, kahit bago matulog. Do it everyday hindi naman detrimental ang stretching.

[Baltasar]

Sige itry ko 2 times a day everyday, yung buhat nga pala, nagbubuhat ako ng heavy dati, kaso pinatanggal,(sabi ng trainer ko eh, may kanya-kanyang theory yang mga yan eh, hirap naman wag sundin, baka magtampo hahaha) kaya pinapako na lang sa timbang ko yung binubuhat ko. Balak kung magcompete, feb yung pinakamalapit na laban. try ko yung sinabi mo, mukang igigive-up ko yung buhat ng tuluyan.

[Meanie!!]

^ imo ok lang igive up ang 'buhat' lalo na kung tipong baguhan ka pa naman. Ok na yung explosive push ups ups, pull ups, power jumps, etc etc and technique training and endurance training for now.

Nung unang laban ko I remember ang pinakamahalga , in order, ay ito:

1. tapang - kung takot ka masaktan, hindi ka rin makakaperform. First fight ko medyo takot ako pero nung nasipa ako sa mukha, nawala
2. Stamina - Sabi nga 'fatigue makes cowards of us all.' Totoo yan.
3.power - takutin mo agad.
4. technique - Last ito pag baguhan kayo, pero of course pag high level na, ito na number one.
5. Lastly, goodluck bro. Patulgin mo yug kalaban. hehe.

[connecticut]

I'm planning to enroll myself sa Elorde for Muay Thai, though I'm a bit hesitant since ako lang mag isa, wala akong mahatak na kasama since yung sched ko most of the time is graveyard, and I'm planning to train sana after work, sakto sa Elorde sa Gilmore since they open at around 6am.

Would it be ok if I train alone? What are the things I need to bring?

I just want this to be my work out since hindi ko trip mag buhat since I find it boring since wala masyadong interaction at ayoko rin maging muscle man, yung fit lang ok na ako since ang lumolobo ako lately hehe.

Any tips mga sir? Thank you!

[melala]

Pwede naman po boxing dito? Sali ako! Hehe.. Nagenroll ako last month pa ng boxing sa Elorde Gym.. Gusto ko sana kick boxing or muay thai kaya lang according sa isang trainer dun iba raw ang warm up ng muay thai and kickboxing compared to boxing.. May mild scoliosis kasi ako so bawal daw sit-ups and jumping rope kasi mahina support sa likod ko. Kaso sit-ups naman kasi ang mas mabilis 'daw' na way para maflat yung abs kagad. Any tips/ alternative exercise para sa case ko? Thanks!

By the way. Gusto ko lang i-share itong informative site about boxing. Sarap magbasa dito andami ko natututunan. Hehe. www.expertboxing.com
