Hi everyone, I’ve been training in Muay Thai for a while, and I’ve noticed that my posture isn’t as good as it could be, especially when shadowboxing, clinching, or holding the guard. Sometimes I catch myself slouching or leaning forward, which I worry might affect my technique or cause long-term issues. I’m curious if anyone has experience improving posture specifically for Muay Thai. Do posture correctors help, or are there exercises, stretches, or training habits that work better? Any tips, routines, or personal experiences would be really helpful to maintain a strong, proper stance.

Saw a note on Reddit that Samart beat Netrnoi Sor Vorasingh, a former WBC world champion, in his first boxing match. But then...I looked at what weight Netrnoi Sor Vorasingh fought at. It just shows you have to look beyond headlines.

I can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment. -

Hi, I'm considering moving to Australia from the UK and I'm curious what is the scene like? Is it easy to fight frequently (proam/pro level), especially as a female? How does it compare to the UK? Any gym recommendations? I'll be grateful for any insights. -

You won't find thai style camps in Europe, because very few people can actually fight full time, especially in muay thai. As a pro you just train at a regular gym, mornings and evenings, sometimes daytime if you don't have a job or one that allows it. Best you can hope for is a gym with pro fighters in it and maybe some structured invite-only fighters classes. Even that is a big ask, most of Europe is gonna be k1 rather than muay thai. A lot of gyms claim to offer muay thai, but in reality only teach kickboxing. I think Sweden has some muay thai gyms and shows, but it seems to be an exception. I'm interested in finding a high-level muay thai gym in Europe myself, I want to go back, but it seems to me that for as long as I want to fight I'm stuck in the UK, unless I switch to k1 or MMA which I don't want to do.
