Hello everyone...

[Athecy]

Hello to all. I am new to this message board. Just wanted to say hi to everyone, and tell a little about me. I am 19 years old. From Southers California. I just started training Muay Thai about 2 months ago. I am really liking it. I had my first fight last weekend and I won by TKO!! It was really fun. One day I would like to travel to Thailand and stay at a Muay Thai camp. That would be really fun.

Anyways... I am also in a heavy metal band called Athecy. If you want to check it out heres the link... www.athecy.com I play guitar.

Does anybody know where I can get some muay thai shorts for cheap?? I have a pair right now, but i wanna get better ones. I saw some shorts that i liked but they range from $35-$50!!! LOL... and the thing is I know for a fact that they dont even cost 1/3 of that if I were to buy them in Thailand.

Ok, well theres a little info on me... Ohh yeah and if anyone would like i could post up some pictures from my muay thai fight last weekend! talk to you guys later

Holy crap, you started training Muay Thai 2 months ago and fought last week!? DAAAAMN that was fast. Was this full contact? I'm guessing it was since you won by TKO.

If you ever do land up going to Thailand, email me as I am moving there in 5 weeks and can show you some great Muay Thai camps to train at. If you're not going there any time soon and depending on the shipping costs maybe I could send you some cheap shorts too! haha

Hi Damian, It was full contact but it is considered a "smoker" fight. It wasnt an amateur fight. I think smoker fights are more for beginners. Maybe less then 1 year training. We had to wear shin guards and head gear, and we also had 16oz gloves on. here are some pics...
I would have pics of the actual fight but my dad messed up on the camara when he was filming, so i only have pics from after the fight...




Thats me with my trainer William Sriyapai

We fought with modified Muay Thai rules, We can kick legs, body, and head, punch, and also knee kick to the legs and body. No elbows at all and no knee kicks to the head. It was really fun!

Oh yeah about the shorts... I probably wont be able to visit Thailand for a while. (money issues) So yeah that would be really cool if you can send me some shorts! Haha not to be picky but these are one of the ones I liked...

So yeah... Ohh I want some of that Thai Oil too. I love that stuff. haha. Man im so cheap. But you gotta be i guess if you got no money. lol.

It would be cool to see some actual fight pics.

well done with ya first match,

just out of woundering
how many times aweek do u train?



Ps wot is thai oil, just i never heard of it

[Athecy]

I would have had some pics from the actual fight itself but my dad messed up on my camara... he only taped the end

Right now I only train about 3-4 days a week. I am trying to make some more free time so i can train everyday. But i guess for now 3-4 days a weeks is ok because my shins havent toughened up yet and they are sore after a good workout. Haha so i kinda need those days off to let them heal.

Thai Oil is kinda like tiger balm... but its a liquid and its much stronger then tiger balm. I think its called Thai Linament or something like that. all i know is that it makes my shins feel gooooood Plus its smells good too.

So does anyone here fight?
