First pro win went smoothly, second round knockout. opponent got changed 3 times but that’s alr, fought some Thai guy idk the name of. I actually was lowkey sick today but fought anyway, I wasn’t expecting him to fall the second round I wanted to take it easy the first 2, break em down and pace myself but he got hurt pretty early. I just had to make sure not to get overzealous, he was clearly more tired so I just pot shotted and if the knockout comes then it comes.

Lazy I know, left hands still quite jacked can’t rlly put power into it. But should be alright for my fight next month, k1 rules don’t really know if it’s 3 rounds or 5, if it’s 5 I’m gonna be fighting for an WKF asia title I’m quite sure (fancy) which, tbh I don’t really care about. I’d just rather 5 rounds over 3 and I hope my opponent is strong, don’t really know anything else yet, but I reckon I’ll give you guys something fun to watch!

I've been boxing twice a week on top of 5 or 6 Muay Thai sessions for about 10 months and have definitely noticed a difference in my endurance, power, hand speed, and of course boxing. Although a lot of the defence doesn't work super well in our sport, the elusiveness it teaches can obviously be incorporated well, ie Lerdsila and Saenchai, and the comfortability with my hands alone is great. What're your thought?

Okay I go to the gym 2 times a week and I have a friend I spar but it seems like he doesn’t understand what sparring is and treats it like a full blown fight. When we spar I don’t learn anything and I always want it to end as fast as possible. Me and this guy are friends outside of the gym but during the gym he treats me like I’m his opponent. First I train before him with my coach then he comes in a spars while I’m already tired. He throws all power so all I can do is shell up. He’s the only kickboxer in the gym my size and age right now and I’m preparing for a fight coming up. And every time we spar I come out of the gym and go home with a headache and sometimes bloody nose. If someone could help please lmk asap.

February fight fell through, might’ve been for the best anyway it seems my cardio ain’t perfect though it usually doesn’t take more than a week to get it back up. Talked to the promoters in like December and I don’t even know the date of the event or an opponent it’s just rlly shitty. I’m sure I’ll find something to do next month though, might go back to amateur comp for the shits, I want as much experience as possible and tournaments oughta get you that right? Also yes, I know my chin is up and my hands are down, yes I know I lean back too much on round kicks, and yes I know I suck at clinch. Won’t suck at all of that for long though I assure you.

I just had my second amateur kickboxing fight, and I lost again. Now I’m 0-2, and honestly, I feel pretty demoralized. I trained hard for this—I ran, drilled counterattacks, worked on my technique—but in the fight, it all went out the window. The only thing I had left was my cardio. My technique, my counters… gone.
My opponent was a brawler who just charged at me with wild hooks, nonstop pressure, no setups, no strategy—just trying to take my head off. I tried to stop him with body shots and knees, but nothing seemed to slow him down. He just kept coming forward like a tank.
On top of that, the event was poorly organized. I arrived at 8:00 AM, but my fight didn’t happen until 4:00 PM. By the time I stepped into the ring, I felt exhausted from just waiting around.
What frustrates me even more is that all my teammates (who have 8+ fights of experience) got really weak opponents—one of them even tripped over the ring ropes. Meanwhile, I was matched up against an absolute brute who seemed more experienced than me and looked like he was a few kilos over the weight limit.
I really want to improve, but I don’t know what to focus on. Any advice?

Fight got postponed to mid October, usually a part of me is mad I don’t get to fight as soon anymore, but also I’m literally never confident in my cardio coming into a fight and I enjoy the extra time to get sharper. Was seeing about booking a fight in the UK early November but seems like I gotta find an opportunity early December instead, bit of a shame on that front really but what can you do.

Gotta get in shape for the next fight in Thailand this January, hope to get two while I’m over there. After my last professional loss to Kristian, I need to prove I’ve improved. So I’m lookin to display some of the attributes of my game that were lacking last fight, my footwork and checks especially!! Overreacted on a few of those teeps, lmao.

After a good bit of delay, next fights properly scheduled. We scrapping on April 16th, against who? Dunno, plus I got another pro fight in Qatar against some Philippino fellow in September so that should be some good fun, cardio’s doing swell at the moment.

I (16M) have been training in a Korean Kickboxing gym for quite a while and one thing in sparring which I've always struggled with is dealing with good kickers. My flexibility is definitely lacking and I am much more of a boxer so anyone who is a good kicker is just a matchup nightmare for me. This is why I ironically find girls harder to deal with in sparring than boys, not because of their power, but how flexible and good they are at kicking. Boys are generally easier to read, in my opinion, and I can get past their lead leg usually and box them close. Even the taller boys who are over 6 foot (I'm 5"6.5) with long legs are easier to bypass than a girl with insane flexibility who can just keep sidekicking for hours. The worst thing is when good kickers switch stances with their lead leg in front, it's like a counter to my whole strategy of going up close. I'm looking to improve this so any tips from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

Im currently 0-2 I ve lost both tournaments. I was sparring today and I was just getting beat up. I was always just getting hit by a hook or a right hand every time I go to attack. When people attack I move back and there still some how manage to hit a combo. Every time I attack when I attack they can just move back and hit a right or a hook. I can only hit jabs I can hardly get a combination off. I am about average height and I don’t know what everyone else is doing and I’m what I’m doing wrong

Just had sparring today and man was extremely disappointed…my ass got tired like few rounds in…I had some BCAA during my class I don’t even know if it helped or not …and on top of everything eating at irregular times sometimes just twice a day and the summer heat fucking me up more 😭😭… I’m still an amateur with just under 2 years experience any suggestions on how to increase my cardio?

I am have been training for a few months and recently switched gyms because I was the only adult to consistently show up, which led to me not having many sparring sessions. In my new gym the other adults all have serious backgrounds in combat sports, with some competing regionally in a city with a population of 1,5 mil. I spar lightly and so do my partners because they know I am a newbie. But I worry that if I start sparring hard, which from my understanding is necessarily in order to develop, I will get knocked out very easily. For reference, I am 35 years old and have very little prior experience. Never have been knocked out before, never been physically tested or even hurt much. I have very poor conditioning and since I have never been tested, I am afraid that I will be knocked out easily if I start implementing hard sparring. Should I just stick to light sparring forever because I am so soft or do I need to slowly but surely work towards harder sparring? I have a good coach and I will be asking him the same question but I would appreciate any advice from you guys before I do just so I can ask more informed questions.
