One year on the ropes: why muay thai sucks (documentary)

I'm not critical of the camps at all. You can go any where in the world and do some half ass training and get yourself a fight with a tomato can. It has very little to do with the camp and everything to do with the person taking advantage of the image of training and fighting in Thailand.

Do you realize how fucking stupid your posts sound?

Like people make stupid posts, granted, but yours are really out there.
Are you trying to make everyone think your some kinda badass or something?

Look up posturing because you're full of it.

I was just sort of perplexed by the question, since obviously tons of people make the trip to train in Thailand on their own dime. It only happens to be a major tourist hot spot. It's like asking if people would agree to an all expense paid trip to Hawaii for a year.

I always feel bad about wieghting 145 lbs when I hear everybody talking about it like it's a weakling's weight =(.

I weigh 145 pounds too. I actually like it.

I'm around 182 right now due to some months of forced rest. Trying to return to my normal 165.

Do you think Jens is a weakling? For a grown man, under 110 is getting into weakling territory, but at 145 you can hurt people. It's not a weakling weight.

So this is just hilarious: one of the guys in this video, the skinnier more-talented one who fought the old fat Thai, is Max Krzyzanowski, who went home from this trip to become a Muay Thai instructor back in Ireland... "An instructor you say? But he's barely gotten his feet wet as an amateur!" I know, I know.. And the only titles he holds are those of Mr. Gay Ireland and Mr. Gay World. And no, I'm not joking, check it out: http://mykiru.blogspot.com/2009_01_18_archive.html it's down towards the bottom..
