Mind you I went for five years in a pair of shitty mma guards that came with a package deal at an old gym of mine, but these feel like a #^*#}} CADILLAC when compared.  Comfortable, thick, color makes me happy.  What are your favorites, Coach James?

This is the gear I use most at the moment. Didnt think Id like this style of glove but I really do. For shins I just love Top King. Havent found much else as good to me.

Top King are super nice.  Closer to the shin than my poofy ones.  I’d love to try them but I wonder about my leg length; they look short & I’m long (plus I just dropped $ on the Yokkao’s so obviously cannot).   Can’t see the gloves too well.  “Danger”?  Gloves nice & banged up.  The best.  Shin guards are, sorry to be an artist about it, but they’re kind of beautiful.

Yeah Danger is an off brand made in Thailand (Id never heard of em either). The top king are actually made more for foreigners now (as opposed to Thais) so the sizes fit well. Those are mediums and they cover perfectly. Lol when I was a skater I used to put stickers on everything. Hard to steal something that personalised.

My favourite piece of gear are my Thaismai Cobra shorts 🙂 As soon as I saw them in an online shop I knew I wanted them! They feel great and additionally they are this kind of motivational piece of equipment if you know what I mean 🙂
 

 

Other than that I have a pair of neon colored Venum shinguards that I got because they were on sale at 50% price. I don't have experience with very many different pairs but they feel nice and lightweight and seem to protect well so that's great.

Gloves are a pair of white leather Fightlab gloves I bought from my gym. They seem fine from my limited experience.

Hey Guys!! 

I have some Yokkao 12oz, Fairtex Shorts and Fairtex Wraps. All awesome, loving my gear. However now that I passed to the Advanced course, I need some 16oz gloves and some shine guards. 

Any recommandations? Budget for gloves can be $120, Shin Guard no idea. I just need something durable, great quality. I dont really care about the look. 

Thanks!!

Gloves: Yokkao "Sick" 10oz, Fairtex 12oz; both feel very good of good quality, as I use them a lot and they're still in very good shape.

Shinpads: I have Twins but the laces are quite short, except of that they're fine

Shorts and shirts I love Boon's stuff and style!

Gloves: 12oz Society Nine Bia Boxing gloves. Because of my smaller hands, I like that these are made specifically for women.

Shinguards: Low-Profile Hayabusas. Again, because of my smaller size I like the sleeved fit and smaller build. I also like that they aren't super padded as I'm hoping they'll help condition my shins a little while still offering some protection.

Shorts: Still trying to find the right pair for me... I have some Raja's that are nice, but a little too small for mediums. I recently bought a pair of InfightStyle EZ fight line in medium, and they fit better.

Did you try the Boon retro shorts already? I love them!

I haven't! Although a couple of the guys at my gym have boon gloves & pads, and they look kush AF, and I do like the retro style...so these could definitely be in my future.

Love retro Boon shorts! The best! 
 

I have twin gloves, bought some Fairtex to try something different but I keep returning to the twins. 
I have twins for shinnies too. 
Fairtex for wraps.

    • Started muay thai about a month ago but used to do mma about 5 yrs ago(which is totally different), the problem i've got is i'm struggling to turn my hips over to get power in my kicks. Whats the best way to train to get my hips to turn to get power. TIA
    • Yea, Bags don't flinch and react to you and i find myself doing better when I spar, i learn what combo's dont work and what do
    • Hey, I just saw this now, I'm surprised nobody replied before.  When I was in Thailand in 2021/22, I also did several privates with Yodkhunpon and enjoyed it very much! I paid and did the sessions at Petchrungruang gym in Pattaya and the initial contact was made by Sylvie, whom I wrote on facebook (thanks again!). The sessions after that, I arranged directly with Yodkhunpon. Unfortunately I havent been back to Thailand since, so I like to read about other people's experiences, so keep writing people!  Has anyone been at Singha Mawyn in Bkk? Superbon used to train there, but more importantly the trainers are legends themselves e.g. Namsaknoi and Khaolan Kaovichit.  Would also be interested in reading about Kiatphontip just outside of Bkk,  and other semi-rural settings.

    • Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training. 
    • If you need a chill video editing app for Windows, check out Movavi Video Editor. It's super easy to use, perfect for beginners. You can cut, merge, and add effects without feeling lost.

    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!   
    • Have you looked at venum elite 
    • 3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
