Question for Sylvie! When you made the transition to Southpawā¦.Iām assuming all of your orthodox combos and strikes had a natural flow to them because that was first for you. ..Im wondering how long it took to get a that natural flow in your Southpaw stance? Ā Also, Ā if you have any tips on the transition other constant practice in southpaw. Either way thank you for reading this. Have an amazing day!Ā Ā - Mike C.Ā -
I've read that internal and external martial artists are striving for the same goal, just in opposite directions. The external artists train the form and refine the technique, strengthening the body from the outside in. The internal martial artists trains the structure and refines the technique, strengthening the body from the inside. In that way, external arts would be working with colors and the internal artists would be working with line drawings. Both can make a complete picture but both together would be a powerful combination. I'm a stroke survivor that's always been into fitness. I've alsoĀ had the unfortunate luck of being in a physicalĀ altercation while in my current condition. At the the time, i was able to perform optimally. Thankfully he was drunk and we weren't alone but i still had to defend myself initially. Every since then, I've been researching the most effective combination of martial arts to end fights and improve my balance. You ever meet me in real life, you'll learn that I'm a massive nerd. However, I'm also into fitness, so forming this theory has been very interesting. Bruce Lee's approach to the philosophy of the creation of Jeet kune Do was my place to start. However, his mother art was wingchun and he used methods from other systems to make a more comprehensive system, creating the foundation for MMA. The main 2 styles I found were Muay Thai and Yiquan.Ā I feel Muay Thai is excellent in the sense of a comprehensive striking system and Yiquan requires you to slow your movements down to fine tune the little balance issues i have. I understand i have no real fight experience and that has been an obstacle but i have experience in physical training and am ready to take advice and criticism

I can recommend you to visit Kst Muay Thai.. For the Time Being, you can learn the fundamentals of Muay Thai by yourself. That could be done though reading Blogs!! Like Muay Thai Citizen, Fight Supplies, Team EliteĀ etc. But combat sports must be performed with another person. You can develop negative habits that are tough to break if you don't have someone to correct your form. Training with an instructor is by far the most effective way to learn. -

I think what's more important than scent is how effective they actually are. In my experience once gloves smell bad, there's no going back. I'd love to find a solution that works. -

Exceptional display of courage.Ā Stood up until the end. -
Hey, I'm familiar with the struggles with partnering with beginners.Ā Once is a while is fine, but you don't get as much out of the class as you would with someone at your level.Ā Here are things I've done in the past: 1) ask the advanced women to come help me train (either in class of outside of class)Ā 2) invite the women that are less advanced, but seem keen on learning, to train with me outside of class, say casually for just techniques (I specified no sparring).Ā Also give them opportunity to suggest what to work on during those times you train together.Ā The 2nd one was very hard initially for me, as it involved setting up this new group training.Ā Ā Our gym had ladies' sparring before that ended in disasters, so I tried to steer us away from that.Ā Also talking to be ppl I don't know and managing multiple new relationships makes me very anxious and mentally exhausted. But that investment of energy pays dividends -Ā I started this a few years ago and I have a few women from there that developed a lot since and partners when me in class consistently.Ā We train together outside of class also.Ā We even met up in parks to train when the gym got shutdown during covid (but small groups outdoor gatherings were allowed).
