Trouble With Fighting Muay Thai

[Biker]

well if he is that fat lol run around a little bit.

220 lbs is not necessarily fat. That is heavy, just not always fat.

Well, the reason thai boxing is so effective is the physical condition required to fight using it. Just match his physical condition. Thats plain and simple.

That and the fact that Muay Thai uses better tools than 99% of the other arts. A thai elbow will take your head off. A thai round kick will knock you down. Can't say that about too many other arts out there.

he's about 6' 6'' so its not too fat. i wouldnt be supprised if he got down to 200 or even 180 .
Last time i asked was about a year ago before he started Muay Thai. And he has lost a lot of weight sense then.

Dude if your seriusly frightened and feel your life is endangered, pick up a big knife. If he walks towards you in a threatening way with verbal abuse you have the right to stab him.

But if this is just a good fight, then yeh get him on the ground and skarf hold him.

This is what happened last time we fought...
He grabbed my head, got me in a head lock, and kicked my shins a few times.
then kneed my hip. by then i got out of the head lock but then he grabed my head again and tried to knee my head. i put up both my fore arms and blocked it.i got loose once again and got in about 6 hits to the mid-section, then he got anout 12 and the last one threw me up against a wall. i got back up, he grabbed me once again and kneed my hips. he let me go and tried for a punch to the face. i moved and grabbed his arm , pulled forward and elbowed him in his back. he came up kinda pissed and punched me in the ribs....and uuuuuhhhhhh thats all i can remember
LOL its funny now that i think about it!

Do to the fact that i always get my a** kicked it takes a lot to make me give up and cry.
Ill get him this time

P.S. please excuse me if there is any bad grammer of misspelled words im a little nervous right now.

haha not bad dood. i reckon, finish the fight as quick as possible. give him a leg kick then knee his head and then land an elbow on the back of his head, do it quickly dont give him a chance to respond to it! and hit hard! fight as if its a matter lof life or death, it will make a difference! thats how soliders fight. hope i am of some help even if its too late.

or u can just give him a quick front kick at the hip every time he tries to get closer to u or jump at u or execute a punch/kick. once u found an opporunity to strike an opening.... do it and give it your best.

train hard, fight easy

lol why didn't you run in the opposite direction of where he was standing? its the best technique to stop an opponent from executing any moves

[MrPoopy]

the guy had you in a standing headlock? or did he have his hands behind your head and pulling you into his knees?

If it was a standing headlock with him on your side, you can pull off a throw, take him down into side control or go right into a cradle. That's kinda what it sounded like.

I think that the problem most people have with MT is they try to fight MT in its best range. That is just silly!

To stand there and slug it out with even an average MT fighter will reduce your chances ALOT!

What you need to realise is that there are other ways to fight.

As he grabs your head and knees you, go towards his knee instead on moving back - If you intercept it before it picks up speed/ power then it wont hurt to much will it, even if he conects with his inteaded target. Also by moving into him you can take his balance VERY easily - any number of throws and take downs can be applied from here. some peole may say that moving into a MT knee is just stupid but has anyone tryed it? i have and they have no defence! I donyt mean meet it half way i mean move in a he attempts to knee.

The same is true of the round house kicks, entering past their optimum range means that there kick isnt the devistating thing it is if you just stand there and try to block! Just be aware of punches and elbows in this range.

When fighting powerful styles such as MT you have to think quite differently, Power wont work against power, especially if he has more! intellegent fighters will try to change there thought processes from - right ill smack him in the head till he drops and hope he doesnt hit me - to - he does this so how can i take that attack away from him so that it doesnt work.

What good is being able to hit hard if there is nothing there to hit!!!!!!!!

cheers

whether you are talking about a fight in the ring or outside the ring

Is this going to be a fight with people around ? if not ...

Well, who cares if you have no choice :P Fight dirty; groin shots, eye pokes, palm strikes to the side of the head, hit the throat, nipple torture :P

Too dirty? Don`t want to fight like that ? You are easily being overpowered? and getting your ass kicked? RUN LIKE HELL!

If theres people around, ... well I can`t really give advice :O

But I don`t fight like this, actually to be honest, I haven`t been in a real fight :P I guess everyone just knows me in a good way

[Rival]

ill reply with what happened after my keyborad stops acting up!!

[MrPoopy]

I agree with chris davis. You can't duke it out with the guy coz that's what he's trained to do. Do you have any grappling experience. If you can get a pure MT guy on the ground it shouldn't be that hard to submit him.
