Before i studied taekwondo and currently im into boxing at Elorde Gym.... Im more interested into mixed martial arts.. hope sum1 can give me advice... Tnx in advance!!! smile.gif Suggestion lang, bro. If you are interested into MMA, it would be best if you have a base style, then incorporate other martial arts to complete your game. Do you want to be a striker? Then learn boxing, muay thai or yaw-yan. Stick with it for at least 2 years to have a good base, afterwards cross train in a grappling arts like BJJ or wrestling. Or if you want to be a grappler, just reverse the process. Magiging half bake ka kung pagsasabayin mo. Then your choice of school will depend on your location. It should not be more than one hour from your home or office or else baka tamarin ka nang mag-train. Quote Link to comment

(juz curious) smile.gif have you tried competing?? Like you I started in TKD way back in High School and College. My base style is Muay Thai, been doing it for 4 years and counting. For striking, I've cross trained in Yaw-yan and Boxing. For grappling, I've cross trained in Judo and BJJ. Yes, I've competed in Muay Thai, boxing and judo. Not yet in MMA. My day job prevents me from training seriously for MMA. Quote Link to comment

The URCC thing might already be a distant prospect as I'm already 31 and just 3 years short of the GAB imposed age limit. I train at the HQ of Muay Asso. of the Philippines in Ultra. Yaw-yan is an FMA that focuses on kicks and strikes, you can call it Filipino kickboxing. Both arts are can give you a good base if you want to be a striker. Quote Link to comment
Plakat Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Bro, do you train with Muay Asso. of the Philippines in Ultra? How were you able to train in Por Pramuk? I heard that they are not accepting farangs. I've always wanted to train there (actually train along side Buakaw). I'm planning to go to Kaewsamrit in Bangkok or Lanna in Chiang Mai during next year's Holy Week. But if they are open to foreigners, might go there instead. Oh Buakaw Por Pramuk the main man yeah I met him several times and we know each other. We used to visit Catherine Cafe and Posiedon with some friends. They accept foreigners and I've seen some whites after my few years of training. Maybe for some reason foreigners are not encouraged to join because these Thais can only speak limited english. In Bangkok there are tons of Muai Thai Gym and you can go and enroll there for a cheap price, Chiang Mai is another option and there are also gyms in Kanchanaburi (but this is 1.5-2 hours from BKK). As for local Muay Association ? nope I never trained with them. Quote Link to comment

Actually, I've trained for a week in Kaewsamrit last year though I'm very satisfied with their training I want to try other gyms (being in Bangkok, it's very expensive). I have a friend who's one of the fighters of Lanna that's why it's on my list. I've met Ole Baguio Laursen while he's here in Manila and his Legacy gym in Ubon Ratchani is also on my list. Is it ok to ask for the contact information/person of Por Pramuk Gym if you have it? Quote Link to comment

xxxpu55yboyxxx Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I was into Aikisho, a combination of combat Aikido and Shotokan when I was in Riyadh a few years back. Quote Link to comment

Why don't you teach Muai thai here.That's good to hear. Some gyms don't accept farangs unless they know you or you were endorsed by somebody they know. I think I'm not worthy to teach the art. I'm a former officer of Muay Asso. of the Phil. , the POC and PSC recognized governing body of Muay Thai in the Philippines, so I help in propagating the sport. Quote Link to comment
