You know you are a thai boxer when...

[twillbanks]

I always thought of the term "Thai Boxer" as simply being another way of defining someone who studies Muay Thai, and someone who actually fights in the ring being defined as a ringfighter. Personally, I believe that Muay Thai, Thai Boxing, whatever moniker one uses, is a way of life, like all other disciplines in life. Just my opinion.

you know you are a LOSER when.....

you post on this thread.......


DOH!!!!

[Psyo]

are muay thai kicks similar to kickboxing kicks ? ( apart from the fact they have shins like steel )

I think this thread is an attempt at humor more than anything else.

When I watch TV I keep getting up and doing some shadow boxing (I think the thai for shadow bxoing is Dtoi Lom). I don't even know I'm doing it. And sometmes I use Muay Thai moves to move around the house like skip knees and spinning back elbows. Oh and I made my own thing where I put my left hand behind my head, slap my left elbow then raise my right elbow and slap it with my left hand (I got it from the kickboxer film, it's supposed to mean I'm going to get my opponent with a left upward elbow then a right elbow strike). If I do that before a fight I will be so embarrased.

You know you're a thai boxer when you call your boxing friends wimps because they don't cover their gloves with glass.

I`ve had bald knees from BJJ and bald patches on my forearms from chi sau...

when you shadow box in the shower? or am i alone on that one?

[Tom Yum]

Yep, but I don't do footwork in the shower for safety reasons. How about shadow boxing naked in front of a mirror...JJ. I pray that its warm out there.....if I were to actually do it, which I don't..

I love the list so far. Thought I'd add a few of my own:
You know you're a Thai boxer when...
-You throw on the boxing gloves to spar a few rounds with your buddy, and you accidentally catch him with an elbow while following through on your hook...12 times.
-You win the dance contest at the local nightclub with your awesome old-school "running man" step. (Must have been all that skip knee practice.)
-In your last MMA fight, a top NCAA wrestler executed a beautiful shot off your round kick...and woke up a month later in traction 'cause he ate your frigging knee.
-After a stare down with Vanderlei Silva, you notice something wet trickling down his leg.

HIS LEG?

You know you're a Thai Boxer when....

You begin to actually like the smell of Thai linament!

[twillbanks]

You know you're a Thai Boxer when you smell Thai liniment for the first time and absolutely love it!

Of course, the smell of anything that takes the pain away from shin conditioning is welcoming, yes?

When you can't talk on Monday morning because you were screaming "Hoooowweeeee" after every kick your camp mate scored in a competition that took place somewhare in Texas, thinking you are in Lumpinee stadium in Bangkok.

[zoti]

and you not alone little bullie.

I always do that and then I think about how my wife will be walking into the bathroom finding me unconscious after I slipped and hit my head on the tub.

you know you're a Thai Boxer when.....

-you try to open a door with a swimming elbow while holding something in your hands.
-you're the only one in school who's kneeing the table when bored!!!
-you're the only one in Judo class who's going into the clinch and kneeing without noticing it.
