Questions for Sylvia previously asked on Youtube. By - Authentic Max


Recommended Posts

Hi Sylvia,

Thank you for answering one of the few questions of mine on youtube. Here are the remaining questions:

 

I wanted to ask you few questions for quite a while... We've been seeing you go from this gym to that gym for quite a while... and we see you learning techniques from this guy and that guy... my question is;  How much of the techniques that you learn - have you really used and implemented during your fights ?

  • Out of 200 fights, how many of them have you lost ?
  • Has head injuries affected your mental and psychological health like getting depressed or angry or mood swings n stuffs like that?
  • I sometimes suffer from nerve and/or muscle cramps on my back and my lower back. I have tried using Tiger Balm and it helped. At the gym I see the trainers using the yellow orangey stuff. Have you used it and if you have, is it better than Tiger Balm ? 

I have few more questions, but I'll keep them for future. Hope you get your kind reply. Thank you.

1. It's not really possible to say how many I used because each style and technique adds to over all understanding of timing, space and balance. Techniques are seen less and less like weapons (a hammer, a sword, a knife), and more like phrasing in a language. They all add to my fighting. 

2. My Complete Fight Record is here. All my opponents, my decisions, etc. are there. My pro numbers are 129-57-7, 70 T/KOs as of today.

3. I've had almost zero issues with head injury. I've only been struck to the ground once in 200+ fights, and concussed only twice.

4. I use Namman Muay all the time, but never have used Tiger Balm, so I can't really say. It has a kind of warming effect.

    • Hey, I just saw this now, I'm surprised nobody replied before.  When I was in Thailand in 2021/22, I also did several privates with Yodkhunpon and enjoyed it very much! I paid and did the sessions at Petchrungruang gym in Pattaya and the initial contact was made by Sylvie, whom I wrote on facebook (thanks again!). The sessions after that, I arranged directly with Yodkhunpon. Unfortunately I havent been back to Thailand since, so I like to read about other people's experiences, so keep writing people!  Has anyone been at Singha Mawyn in Bkk? Superbon used to train there, but more importantly the trainers are legends themselves e.g. Namsaknoi and Khaolan Kaovichit.  Would also be interested in reading about Kiatphontip just outside of Bkk,  and other semi-rural settings.    
    • Hi, I did start at the end of 3d week in May.  Going 4 times a week and each session lasts 50 minutes and then 5 minutes cool off period so 55 minutes   No, i started doing 2 sessions on Wednesday and 3 Sessions on other 3 days   I was wondering if that is enough to progress? As i see people who also want to become good and trading 4 hours a day 6 days a week. What can i expect them? 
    • I’ve actually trained at Buacao Banchemek gym a few times, and I liked it! The equipment was in good shape, and the vibe was really welcoming. The trainers were helpful, and I saw some progress in my workouts while I was there.

    • Hey! I totally get what you mean about pushing through—it can sometimes backfire, especially with mood swings and fatigue. Regarding repeated head blows and depression, there’s research showing a link, especially with conditions like CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). More athletes are recognizing the importance of mental health alongside training. 
    • If you need a chill video editing app for Windows, check out Movavi Video Editor. It's super easy to use, perfect for beginners. You can cut, merge, and add effects without feeling lost. They’ve got loads of tutorials to help you out! I found some dope tips on clipping videos with Movavi. It lets you quickly cut parts of your video, so you can make your edits just how you want. Hit up their site to learn more about how to clip your screen on Windows and see how it all works.
    • Hi all, I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be traveling to Thailand soon for just over a month of traveling and training. I am a complete beginner and do not own any training gear. One of the first stops on my trip will be to explore Bangkok and purchase equipment. What should be on my list? Clearly, gloves, wraps, shorts and mouthguard are required. I would be grateful for some more insight e.g. should I buy bag gloves and sparring gloves, whether shin pads are worthwhile for a beginner, etc. I'm partiularly conscious of the heat and humidity, it would make sense to pack two pairs of running shoes, two sets of gloves, several handwraps and lots of shorts. Any nuggets of wisdom are most welcome. Thanks in advance for your contributions!   
    • Have you looked at venum elite 
    • 3½ years late of a reply haha. I'm in Phuket and have went to quite a few physios. The best so far is Meaw at OptimiseFit at the Blue Tree in north Phuket. She doesn't dry needle me as another Dr. has here but all my muscle tension came back soon so it's a waste of money.
