Yes, will be there and prepping to fight! Excited :)

[When to use top of foot rather than shin when kicking]

Hey everyone,

So I've been diving into a lot of videos, and I've seen alot of knockout kicks with shins, but even more so with the top of the foot connecting rather than the shin. Can someone tell me when it's acceptable to practice kicks on the bag with the top of your foot rather than the shin and does learning overall technique suffer?

If you're fighting in Thailand there's not really an "amateur" scene outside of the IFMA's or schools fighting against each other with padding. Those are annual, but scheduled as big tournaments and not open to everybody or even frequent. If you feel like you want to have a kind of "wading in" period to your fights, just talk to your trainers about a 3 round fight or just not a big show. They'll know what's good for you as long as you communicate what you're comfortable with. That said, as long as you're matched appropriately with your opponent, the "status" or "caliber" of the fight card itself doesn't matter at all. You'll be fine :)

Thanks Sylvie, this makes sense!

Hey everyone,

So I've been training for three months and will be starting to train twice a day in the month of September. I'e decided to prepare for a fight in Thailand in February, and I wanted to know if it's okay to jump right into a professional fight, or rather should I fight amateur a few times before making the jump. I'm currently training at Khongsittha Muay Thai in Bangkok.

 

Thanks!
