Windy Muay Thai Elastic Hand Protectors: Green

October 14th, 2010

Hi guys! I hope you like the lesson from last time. There will be more to come, so you should stick around and come back for more of our free Muay Thai lesson every month. At the mean time, it is about time that we will look around and our store and pick out a cool Thai boxing product and talk about it.

As you can see, the product I chose to review today is a pair of Hand Wrap. But what’s so special about this very pair of handwraps? Well these are one of the very few Muay Thai handwraps made by Windy. Comparing to other brands, I think windy’s products are more expensive but that’s because I also think they have a little bit higher quality. Like this item for example. I think Windy’s hand wraps are a bit thicker and softer. But then you just have to try because the prices differ only about 1$ from other brands’ hand protectors.

Windy Muay Thai Elastic Hand Protectors: Green

It is recommended to own at least a few pairs of boxing hand wraps. Since it is good to have them clean every time you use them and let them dry completely before the next use. Me myself have about 5 pairs just like socks that you must have spares. And they don’t last that long if you ask me, so whenever I feel that the elastic fabric is starting to get loose I will get another new pair. And that the safety is quite a pretty good reason to get new gear.

And I personally love this pair of Windy handwraps. I mean I don’t see any other boxing factories make fist wraps in this very color. This lime green color is quite unique especially for Muay Thai gear. So if you dig this item, just check it out in our online store by clicking on the link right below the picture to be directed to the page.

Before I go today, what are your favorite Muay Thai handwraps? What brands and color? And how many pairs of boxing fist wraps you have owned until now?

Thanks for being with me and checking out the product. I’ll be back next time for the next free Muay Thai lesson. See you next time!

Muay Thai Moves: Punch and Kick Combination

September 24th, 2010

Welcome to our sport blog. I want to continue talking about Muay Thai Boran moves. I’ve been reading a lot about Muay Thai and sometimes I saw about interesting muay thai facts, techniques and stuff that I want to write articles about it just to share them with you because I know that these information or things that I have learned from reading through many books will be somehow useful to you also.

Today’s ancient Muay Thai move is called “Pajon Chang San”. The very best way to call it in English is just to know that it’s a combination of the punch and kick move that are applied at the same time. To explain more about it, this is a combination technique used for attack, defense and escape. The targets for his boxing attacking technique are your opponent’s chin and rib area. As a boxer, you will be required to throw a punch with your right hand to hit the chin and at that same time lift your left leg up and swing it to deliver a powerful kick into your opponent’s right rib. The full weight is borne by the right leg while the left elbow is drawn back to keep your body balanced. The simultaneous punch and kick trick like this is quite effectively used for your opponent who always guard his boxing stance with wide angles.

To the Attack: You have to use both of your hands to wipe away both of your opponent’s fists. Afterwards, protect your body by turning it to the right and pressing down your right elbow in order to shield the attacker’s oncoming kick.

To the Defense: Try to apply your left shin or your left foot to hit your opponent’s right rib. If he use his left hand to throw the punch and right foot to deliver the kick, alternate your counter move by using your right shin instead.

That’s it for this move. If you want to try this, I recommend you do it with your Muay thai master so that he can help you correct your move in case there are some mistakes. Anyway I hope you enjoy our learning articles so far. I will be back next time with the modern boxing moves with video clips of Muay Thai demonstration. Please leave your comment down below to help us improve the articles and the blog. See you next time.

Top King Boxing Shorts: TKTBS-30

September 14th, 2010

Hi and welcome to our product review page! How are you guys doing this week? I hope you guys are good and happy and got the money. LOL. Perhaps ready to do some shopping for new boxing equipment for your muaythai collection. And today’s product I’m going to review is one of those that you can always buy the new ones.

Buying or getting a new pair of Muay thai shorts is the best way to avoid getting bored of your gears. That’s because the shorts are the cheapest you can afford if you ask me. The gloves on the other hand are twice as much comparing to the boxing trunks. Anyway, let’s take a look at the photo of today’s item first.

Top King Boxing Shorts: TKTBS-30

What so great about this pair of Muay Thai shorts are that first of all, they are black. Black looks great on almost everyone and it can never be out of fashion, even though in fighting arts mostly used colors are red and blue. But if you ask me, I don’t cheer you to buy red and blue Thai boxing product that much unless you want to go for the original and traditional. IMO, black is way cooler and makes you look tougher.

Another great reason is that they are made by Top King. Top King is so far one of my favorite Muay Thai boxing factories because of their creative and good looking designed products. I can say that I love almost every single piece of their product items. Take a look at today’s item for example. Even though they have strings hanging at the legs of the shorts, these boxing trunks still look awesome because they have the balance of design and color. So why wait? If you are at the moment looking for new Muay Thai shorts, I would say these are the best for you right now.

At our store, we provide this very item in 9 different sizes. Go check out the size chart and find out which size will fit you the most on the page. All you have to do is clicking on the link right below the picture to be directed to the product’s page in our store.

Next time will be our Boxing lesson article. Stick around!

Muay Thai Learning Clips: The Diagonal Knee Kick

August 24th, 2010

Hi and welcome to our blog. Today Learning video clips is our second modern Muay Thai knee move. I hope you loved the previous one and want to continue learning this one. I apologize if you don’t like our video clips but I think they are quite ok for newbie to get to learn what to moves are like. Perhaps you can help us creating muaythai demonstrating videos? How about that? The videos I used are from YouTube and these are created by a friend of mine. You can go straight to the YouTube channel and subscribe so check out his latest boxing video clip.

The move as you will see in the clip below is called the diagonal knee kick or Kow Chiang (Kow means knee and Chiang means diagonal). This move requires you to use your both hands to grasp and pull your opponent’s neck downward while you’re raising your knee upwards diagonally to impact the un-escaping target which can be the thigh, the rib-cage or the side of your opponent’s waist.


Muay Thai Learning: The Diagonal Knee Kick from YouTube

To break the move down, there are two ways to do this technique. First is to use your rear knee as the weapon and the other is to use your lead knee which is a bit harder and require more practice.

The Rear Diagonal Knee kick is started by leaning forward and transforming your body weight onto your left foot which is in the front of your boxing stance. Start grasping your opponent’s neck with both of your firm hands. Deliver the knee kick by thrusting your right knee (from the back) diagonally upward from right to left pointing all toes straight down to the ground. At the time of impacting the knee, you must pull down your opponent’s neck from left to right and bracing your left foot against the floor and impact the aimed target with your knee cap.

The Lead Diagonal Knee Kick is slightly different because you’re using your left knee to deliver the kick from the basic boxing stance that the left foot is in the front. Lean forward but this time put your weight onto your right foot and grasp your opponent at the neck and pull it down from the right to left while you’re trying to thrust your left knee diagonally upwards from the left to right. Keep practicing to master the lead knee diagonal knee kick.

Hope you like the clip. And don’t forget to click like or subscribe to the channel. Come back for more of this next time. See you.

Twins Special Boxing Gloves: White Pink Leaf

August 14th, 2010

Welcome to our weblog! I hope you’ve been looking forward to our article to come. I’ve tried to alternate the articles between reviewing new products in the market or any Muay Thai equipment that I think that you might be interested and Thai boxing lessons of Muay Thai Boran and modern Muay Thai moves that we got in short video clips.

Today’s article is another great Thai Boxing gear review. I chose this pair of Muay Thai gloves as you can see below because this item is one of our best sellers so far. They are my favorite actually and I believe these are the best female boxing gloves even made by twins. Check them out!

Twins Special Boxing Gloves: White Pink Leaf

They are made in 5 different sizes from 8 oz to 16 oz for you to choose. If you don’t know which size you want yet, try to think of what you want these gloves for whether for training or for fighting. Go for the lighter one for the real fight and the heavier one for training to help building up muscles and strength.

If you are a female fighter, I want to ask you something. I want to know what brand your favorite Muay Thai gloves is and what size you usually wear. They don’t have to be a pair of Thai boxing gloves from Twins Special like these ones. And except for this pair, Twins is not my favorite brand either because what I really dig right now and am crazy about is Top King’s gears. I will talk about them later.

Anyway, please do not hesitate choosing or buying any Muay Thai equipment from Twins Special because it is and still will be one of the very famous and successful Muay Thai boxing factories from Thailand. And I’m quite sure that you won’t be disappointed in the product you choose.
Just a thought: what is the next Thai boxing item you want us to review next time?

Thanks for being with us today and come back for more of interesting muaythai product reviews right here. And by the way, don’t forget to check out our learning lessons in this very same blog. See you then!
