Hopefully Sylvie jumps in on this, just a few notes. Firstly, Sylvie hardly ever cuts weight so this is not something she has a ton of experience in. What we have done lately is to do a little salt & water loading the week before, and then just let the body eliminate the water in the last 24 hours (careful to make sure potassium is ok). There are probably lots of things to Google in water and salt loading though, better than we could ever advise. As to fighting fasted or not, for Sylvie because she is not only keto and also fasts every other day, she is super fat-adapted, which means that her energy levels are pretty much pretty unchanged on fast days. Fighting in fast days is even preferred sometimes. But...if you aren't super fat adapted, and used to training on fast days it's probably not best to fight fasted. -

What to eat and how much to eat during fight week/camp on keto? Should one re-feed after weigh ins or is it better to fight fasted, with only electrolytes and water? How does one cut weight on keto? (20-25lbs) -

I know that Kru Ten in the Muay Thai Library offered a solid counter to the Face Smush in clinch: #42 Boraphet Pinsinchai - Muay Khao Fighting Techniques (50 min) https://www.patreon.com/posts/19768793 #23 Boraphet Pinsinchai - Muay Khao Mastery (64 min) https://www.patreon.com/posts/14262395 I'm pretty sure it's in the first one we filmed #23, but above are links to both. You basically just reach across and over their outstretched arms, with your back hand, and pull the arms toward you and down, past the face. It's a pretty effective counter, as long as your own lead arm isn't too deep in, and over-turned. You want to also stand up straight with good Ruup when you do this. Also in training you can get really good at feeling the face smush coming, recognizing it, and driving your head in, through it, before it gets a good leverage point on your jaw.

A few weeks ago I became aware of a Khun Khmer promotion : MAS Fight Town Cambodia on You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/c/MasFightCambodiaTownFullHDTV/videos What is unusual is that some bouts feature a one 9 minute round whereby as in Kard Chuek only a knockout is a win, otherwise it is declared a draw. Their are also cash prizes awarded abundantly to the fighters. If you had 6 and a half hours time this past weekend you could, and still can watch UAM MuayThai Underground Series 1 from Dubai https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1EIELRu6Hw&t=18070s Though mostly amateur fights their were two main card events that were great : Kadhi vs. Barboza was great for elbows and Macatanngay vs "Wonderboy" Jurayev showed: Dont get a good Uzbeki fighter mad at you ! -

Hey! I recognize your handle from Youtube. Andy Thomson was the first to really emphasize the importance of ambidextrous training to me. Not to fight as a switching fighter, but just to be balanced. I love that you're taking meaning in training both sides and truthfully speaking, everyone has a "weak side" and quite honestly it's much weaker in most people than is necessary. Your workout sounds solid and will develop as you go, but just feel where you're struggling and push the line a little. Then a little, then a little. It's awesome. -
Hey all, new here I am a long-time lover of Muay Thai. As most I got into it with Tony jaa movies lol. Now buakaw/rodtang and Sylvie🙃 I am not trained mind you (I did have a couple month stint with a self trained Muay Thai guy in job corps, like 10 years back. yes not ideal at all but ehh I took what I got.) now I’m 31 5’5” 125lbs had a dual laparoscopic hernia surgery last year( from labor Intensive jobs, FedEx, Lowes Garden center trees, rocks, soil etc)(pretty bad diet of shit I am trying to work on that) had a micro preemie birth 1lb 4oz, 23 weeks gestation (5 weeks I think,) 3.5 months in a incubator, class 3 brain bleed (hemorrhage,) and intestinal rupture, I have mild cerebral palsy (muscle weakness) on my right side (both arm and leg) so my power side is my left, ALL that happened at birth...it’s crazy I’m alive at all lmao... all that being said, Potentially given the right teacher with understandings of my limitations would it be cool to pursue training. I am currently trying to condition myself ( haven’t actually worked out since high school so I’m trying to go slow) with a mile jog/walking, currently doing my own set of a burn out. 125 curls 25 with attempted 10 push-ups in between sets of 25 curls. And some crunch work... what do you all think?

Thinking on. Shining with false credentials is one thing. But what she essentially used it for, aside of glory, is she could held lectures and got jobs as coach and such... Now, as the article hints, Morocco has a quite decently developed Muay and kickboxing culture., its no Terra Incognita where whatever will pass. You cant be a nobody and make a show off, after just seeing some youtube clips, or even gone some junior matches, as she did.. You would be revealed soon enough. She must be good for real. So I presume, she has a true knack for being coach, and holding lectures and talking. Her talent for coaching and talking is better than her talent for the self fighting. So this is OK and even good. Even if she choosed an odd way to start this carrieer... Look. The same article mentions 5 real medalists, including 2 gold medalists, ie world masters / world champions. So all these could easily them too start a carrieere as coach and lecturer, no? But probably they didnt, because it would fill up the market. Nature doesnt like vacuum. If these qualified doesnt wish or manage to do the job just waiting on them, so somebody less well qualified must come forward... Nay, I wouldnt critisize her too hard, and especielly not 11 years after. Its sooner so, I suspect the article was inspired by some of her competitors, whom TOO wants to be THE lecturer and guesting coach...

To be more exact, she usurpes the vice WM title, ie she did lost the finale. (It seems to be an amateur occasion, and thus, not ONE arranged match, titleholder against a challenger, or two challengers, but a cup with several matches to go for the best..). The problem is she seems to either did not participated or landed outside the 4 best... Anyway, this seems to be mostly an old and very local hullyballo, even if Morocco seems to have quite a few good fighters, as 5 others of them DID got medals at this amateur championsship, Bangkok 2009.
