This is so cool!! I’ve been doing Muay Thai for three weeks now. Being a 5’3 girl with no martial arts experience whatsoever and too afraid to even hurt a fly, it was really tough. I used to go to every session with anxiety but I never came back home disappointed or upset. It’s getting easier every day. I really want to push myself further, not only physically but mentally. Thanks for they video, you’re really inspiring!

@@alanismarie5916 nice. I just fell sick so I had to skip a bit but I feel like I’m becoming more confident. The only problem is that I still have this psychological barrier on punching people, like I’m afraid to do full force on them even if this force is little. That’s exactly why I want to keep going, to tear down that barrier

I love muay thai, been doing it for the past couple years+helping coach at my gym. Recently started messing around with writing about a week ago which led me to your channel, so seeing this was such a cool intersection/coincidence for me given the timing. I hope you stick with it, I'll take this video as a sign to start writing more.

Not alot of people would go out of there way to do this. Its very smart of you to seek real world experience to boost your writing Edit: After watching more of your videos I just had to subscribe and I'm also going to be reading your book as well....

This is so dope! As both a writer and someone fairly experienced in Muay Thai (started in high school, I'm 31 now) I love your commitment to research! I've always enjoyed when stories include fighting as a culture and craft that extends beyond just the fight, and when they ground the scenes with body focused sensations (like on days I feel tight, or when my left kick is weirdly better than my right). Really excited to check out your books, keep it up!!!

I found your video looking up Muay Thai content. I've been doing this stuff for a while now, and I always enjoy seeing a brand new student jump in. It was really interesting to see your progression from zero, and I'll be sure to use your experience as insights on how to approach and teach new students under me. Now I see you're a writer of dark fiction. Very cool indeed. I'll be sure to check out your work. I hope you continue on the Muay Thai journey, as it's really unlike anything else. You might find that as your body becomes hard and your bones densify, your mind sharper and more predatory, your spirit becomes not only more powerful, but elevated and often kinder and more compassionate.

Is great that you get to feel what your "characters" are going through but if you want realistic fight scenes then its better to watch some muay thai fights theres tons in youtube. My suggestion to learn the jump teep is dont move forward when starting out. Start with the basics just the stationary teep and work from there.

you should buy an click counter, so you can keep count how many kicks you swing. then condition yourself only an minutes rest in between as official bout will give you twice as much rest period in between bouts. after 60 seconds you should have recovered 30% of your total strength. so you wanna train for that quick burst KO rather than have it go to an decision.
