pumpjack Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 i would like to learn muay thai more, i did learn some for few months on & off in pattaya but i got tempted to hit the bars and the girls ( usual story ) so now i want to travel to maybe surin or udon thani and learn it proper....but there is one more sticking point and that is i absolutely feel like a prat shadow boxing, every other aspect of muay thai i love the clinching, the pad work /sparring etc but i hate shadow boxing , is there a way around this ? also , if i do decide to stay in a big city like BKK or pattaya again are there any other good very physical martial arts i can throw myself into ? i am battling with some demons right now and this is the main reason i want to get away and throw myself into something that will take my mind off all my issues and dramas . i would like to be training everyday , even twice per day, so please feel free to send me any links / prices etc cheers jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvaviator Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Ever thought of giving road cycling a go ? Yes I know cycling is dangerous here ... But if you want to take your mind of things then pushing yourself on a road bike as you also have to try stay alert to what is happening around you. It’s a great way to focus your mind .... After a few hundred km in the blistering heat .... you will feel like a new man again :-)Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirasan Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Is there a way around shadow boxing? Not really. I was the same as you man, I felt stupid when I did it in a Bangkok gym for the first time because the gym I came from in oz never really did a lot of it. Just stick with real simple combos while you get the hang of it, and really relax. Stuff like jab - push kick cross - elbow - knee jab - uppercut - cross it won't take long for you to get comfortable if you practice simple combos every day.
