Working OUt with the Idol, Stallone by Christophe Clugston

There are some people that really have changed an entire society. Stallone did this when he started bringing the more defined and muscular style to the Big Screen. Arnold was another person that helped to change the entire idea of what was "body good" in the West. The runner's type body had been thought to be sexy before that. Now, I have to hold him up as a model of excellence. Compare yourself to him--and then look at the difference in years: he's the one who sets the standards, not you, my friend.

Muay Thai Gyms in Bangkok by Christophe Clugston


Well on a quest to find some new gyms in Thailand, I decided to spend some time in Bangkok (since I hub through the city a lot). This gym I am standing at is very close to Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. The trainer I had is an ex Cahmpion and very subtle on his technique advice (in Thai nor English). He did rounds of 3 minutes instead of the normal 5 mintues (since 3 mintues is the real time--the tempo ca be pushed far beyond what you can do in 5 minutes). Very hard training.

This was just oen of my stops. If you have questions about training, I can set up deals for you.

THe best training I have found in Thailand will be up and coming. So until then.

Train and keep pushing.

Why even in MMA most all Muay Thai is false by Christophe Clugston

Man, it seems like Muay Thai has become a fad again. Not for the sport of Muay Thai--which few people actually pursue, but for the training aspect that it gives. It seems that the MMA crowd has found Muay Thai to be the strongest form of striking practice for their cross over training to the Mixed Martial Arts; sport in ring or in cage.

There are many people that say they teach Muay Thai--and they don't have a clue. Subsequently, anyone that thinks he or she is going to Muay Thai classes is going to some perverted form of Kick Boxing practice and not Muay Thai.

Please see my article covering this. http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Even-in-MMA-Most-Muay-Thai-is-Not-Real&id=3293393

Once you ahve read that you will be better armed to knwo the truth and find REal Muay Thai training--especially those of you who do MMA.
