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.

    • 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
