Learning Muay Thai

postedby ericnguyen on May7th,2008 tagged muaythai, personal

I just started learning Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) last summer. Most of these months have been with Mark and Alexis Mian’s Alter Center (Mark is the one training me in this video.) Watching myself is very humbling, since I’m used to watching much more experienced (and fit) fighters training; I look nothing like them. I get tired very quickly. So much of my coordination, balance, and technique go out the window a minute or two into each round.

That being said, I love this training. It feels right to my body, and the movements come to me steadily, week by week.
