I've been training for nearly a year and a few months ago I had my first interclub, and I just froze. The nerves got the better of me, fear creeped in, I panicked and anyone would of thought it was first time wearing gloves!

I've sparred many times, I've been hit harder at training and I've hit harder, but on the day, I just couldn't do it

I would really like to compete, but I just can't get back in the ring. I've been offered several more interclubs where I've lied and said I'm busy that day, I'm still sparring and I don't freeze up, but I'm worried if I go in to another interclub will i freeze again, and end up giving up on my dreams

Any tips on how to just get in there and do it?

    • What people don't really appreciate is that Nabil says he trained 13 months for this fight...and Superlek probably trained for two weeks. Good on Nabil, but the fight (and the promotion) just doesn't "mean" the same thing to each fighter, as much as there is enormous social media hype around these kinds of matchups. It's "entertainment" Muay Thai. In many ways it just isn't "real" for Thais (it lacks the social risks that gambled stadium fighting has). Fighting the stadium when Superlek was 18...that was REAL, because the social conditions of shame and pride and the cultural network of status struggle was infinitely at risk. One can't force it to be real.  
    • I've been exploring ultrawides for a while, though basically drawn to them since I started shooting Muay Thai though I didn't know how to use them. There was always the sense that I wanted to weave together very different focal lengths. Since shooting with the Contax which I really love, on a bigger sensor format I've been drawn further in. So here is an experiment, using keyframes, big contrast video and telephoto images, to capture the mood and energy of a training session with Chatchai. This is was just a sketch from a single very quick shoot (I think 3 very short videos, maybe 100 still frames shot), maybe 5 minutes of photography altogether. I wanted it to be very bare bones to see if I could whip up an energy and feeling that I could maybe use on a larger project. The short is much aided by the music by Anand who I'm working with on a big, experimental writing project. wh
    • Exactness and review are two essential measurements utilized in assessing the execution of machine learning models, especially in classification errands. Both are vital in understanding how well a demonstrate performs in recognizing between pertinent and unimportant comes about, but they center on diverse viewpoints of accuracy. Data Science Course in Pune Precision measures the precision of positive forecasts made by a show. It is calculated as the number of genuine positive comes about partitioned by the add up to number of positive forecasts (genuine positives furthermore wrong positives). In other words, exactness answers the address: "Out of all the occurrences the demonstrate labeled as positive, how numerous were really redress?" A tall accuracy score demonstrates that when the show predicts a positive result, it is ordinarily redress. This metric is especially imperative in scenarios where wrong positives carry critical results, such as in spam location. If an mail channel marks a authentic e-mail as spam, it may result in critical messages being missed. On the other hand, review, too known as affectability, centers on the model’s capacity to distinguish all pertinent occurrences. It is calculated as the number of genuine positives separated by the whole of genuine positives and untrue negatives. This implies review answers the address: "Out of all genuine positive cases, how numerous did the demonstrate accurately recognize?" A tall review score recommends that the show does not miss numerous important occurrences, which is especially valuable in restorative analyze. For illustration, in cancer discovery, a tall review guarantees that about all cancerous cases are distinguished, indeed if it implies a few untrue positives are included. The trade-off between exactness and review is a common challenge in machine learning. A show can be balanced to favor one over the other depending on the application. Expanding accuracy regularly comes at the fetched of review, as the show gets to be more preservationist in making positive forecasts. Then again, expanding review might lower accuracy, as the demonstrate gets to be more indulgent in labeling occasions as positive. The adjust between the two is regularly spoken to utilizing the F1-score, which is the consonant cruel of exactness and recall.  In down to earth applications, the choice between prioritizing accuracy or review depends on the particular needs of the assignment. In extortion discovery, for occurrence, tall exactness is vital to maintain a strategic distance from dishonestly denouncing authentic exchanges. In differentiate, tall review is basic in look motors to guarantee all pertinent comes about are recovered. Understanding the contrast between these two measurements makes a difference information researchers fine-tune models for ideal execution based on their targets.

    • The first fight between Poot Lorlek and Posai Sittiboonlert was recently uploaded to youtube. Posai is one of the earliest great Muay Khao fighters and influential to Dieselnoi, but there's very little footage of him. Poot is one of the GOATs and one of Posai's best wins, it's really cool to see how Posai's style looked against another elite fighter.
    • Yeah, this is certainly possible. Thanks! I just like the idea of a training camp pre-fight because of focus and getting more "locked in".. Do you know of any high level gyms in europe you would recommend? 
    • You could just pick a high-level gym in a European city, just live and train there for however long you want (a month?). Lots of gyms have morning and evening classes.
    • Hi, i have a general question concerning Muay-Thai training camps, are there any serious ones in Europe at all? I know there are some for kickboxing in the Netherlands, but that's not interesting to me or what i aim for. I have found some regarding Muay-Thai in google searches, but what iv'e found seem to be only "retreats" with Muay-Thai on a level compareable to fitness-boxing, yoga or mindfullness.. So what i look for, but can't seem to find anywhere, are camps similar to those in Thailand. Grueling, high-intensity workouts with trainers who have actually fought and don't just do this as a hobby/fitness regime. A place where you can actually grow, improve technique and build strength and gas-tank with high intensity, not a vacation... No hate whatsoever to those who do fitness-boxing and attend retreats like these, i just find it VERY ODD that there ain't any training camps like those in Thailand out there, or perhaps i haven't looked good enough?..  Appericiate all responses, thank you! 
    • In my experience, 1 pair of gloves is fine (14oz in my case, so I can spar safely), just air them out between training (bag gloves definitely not necessary). Shinguards are a good idea, though gyms will always have them and lend them out- just more hygienic to have your own.  2 pairs of wraps, 2 shorts (I like the lightweight Raja ones for the heat), 1 pair of good road running trainers. Good gumshield and groin-protector, naturally. Every time I finish training, I bring everything into the shower (not gloves or shinnies, obviously) with me to clean off the (bucketsfull in my case) of sweat, but things dry off quickly here outside of the monsoon season.  One thing I have found I like is smallish, cotton briefs for training (less cloth, therefore sweaty wetness than boxers, etc.- bring underwear from home- decent, cotton stuff is strangely expensive here). Don't weigh yourself down too much. You might want to buy shorts or vests from the gym(s) as (useful) souvenirs. I recommend Action Zone and Keelapan, next door, in Bangkok (good selection and prices):  https://www.google.com/maps/place/Action+Zone/@13.7474264,100.5206774,17z/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!2sAction+Zone!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2!3m5!1s0x30e29931ee397e41:0x4c8f06926c37408b!8m2!3d13.7474212!4d100.5232523!16s%2Fg%2F1hm3_f5d2?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D
