Gemini said Burnout from coaching is real it kills your own form because you're focused on everyone but yourself. That "hop" is usually a bad habit to cheat the hip rotation or force power. It telegraphes your kick and messes with your timing. To fix it, slow down on the bag. Work at 50% speed and focus purely on the pivot of your lead foot staying connected to the mats. Power should come from the hip whip, not a jump. Check your sparring footage too if you only do it when you're tired, it’s just a fatigue thing. If you do it fresh, you've got some muscle memory to rewrite! -
Hi everyone, I’m 22, currently finishing my Master's in IT in France, but honestly, I feel like my life is aimless right now. I’m stuck in a bubble of comfort and I need to see the world for what it really is. I want to build a real physical and mental discipline and reconnect with nature. I'm planning to leave on March for a month (or more) of total immersion in Thailand to practice Muay Thaï. I already have few month of experience but I’m still a full beginner. I’m torn between two options and would love your advice: 1. Look Nungubon (Ubon): I love the family vibe and the authenticity of the gym. It feels like the "real deal," but it's in a city neighborhood (no nature) and I've heard they only do one formal training session a day. 2. Kem Muay Thai (Khao Yai): The mountain setting and the nature look perfect for a mental break. But it's expensive (36,000 baht) and I’m worried it might be too focused on westerners/tourists now. I don't want a "resort" experience. Does anyone have experience with these two? Or maybe a suggestion for a hidden gem in Isan or rural Thailand where I can find that mix of nature + brutal discipline + authenticity and connection with people ? Thanks for your help. -

One of the more interesting things that has become clearer in my study of capitalism and Muay Thai is just how much Thailand's traditional Muay Thai is operating within a non-Capitalist organization, much closer to apprenticeship (within the Western tradition), and intimately woven into the Social (re)Production registers (in the West) upon which Capitalism depends. When non-Thais come to Thailand as consumers (or even free agent labor) there is an extreme dysfunction between their motivations and assumptions and the pervading Muay Thai culture they are attempting to integrate with (leaving aside the degrees to which there is a new Tourism-oriented culture which is organized around giving them particular kinds of experiences). As Thailand's Muay Thai turns to Capitalist solutions to its traditional stagnation and decline (much impacted by the COVID slowdown), there are forced mis-translations between cultures, and also increasingly pressured demands for Thais to abandon the values of apprenticed social (re)production.

I'm sorry I don't really know. Sylvie is in touch with a collector and this person is where she buys hers, but there are not multiple copies available. Maybe someone else would know of a larger source. -

thanks in advance for any help -
Hello everyone, as someone deeply involved in Muay Thai, I've noticed early signs of hair thinning, particularly around the crown and temples. While it's common to see fighters with shaved heads, I'm interested in exploring an alternative to hair transplant for early hair loss that won't interfere with my training routine. Has anyone here experienced similar issues? What non-invasive treatments or lifestyle adjustments have you found effective? I'm particularly keen on options that won't disrupt my training schedule or require extended recovery periods. Looking forward to hearing your experiences and recommendations.
