Cage fighter extraordinaire
Did you know we have one of Essex's top cage fighters posting here with us?
You may even have met him and I'm sure you all know about his reputation. It's Steve Aka 'Tripple 'OG'. He's a bug eye owner who has been to a few meets with the essex crew. So a big hand to him I'm sure we'll all want to support him at his upcoming event in Southend "Ultimate Warrior Challenge" on November 4th. Maybe we could even organise a scooby crew trip and we can all cheer him on? |

Work those knees and elbows :norty: Sparring with him is something else, I stopped training when I broke a rib sparring in the ring, that fecking hurt and driving home was agony! Since I stopped, I put on a lot of weight, and now I've lost 2 stone, I feel a lot better for it, now want to carry on. Have to get my punch/kick bag out of the garage. Ed, theres nothing more off putting than seeing a hairy bloke prance about in a ring;) |

oh yes, especially when you watch the Thai boys fight and KO their opponent with a crushing elbow to the top of the head |
When we were out in thailand last year, we had ringside tickets at lumpini stadium, we almost got splattered with blood as one fighter got an elbow to the head!!! It was great!!! Those thai's now how to fight!!!
|
|
second fight, a very nice elbow
|
Funny you should show these, i was watching them yesterday!! There are some great knockouts in there!!! Have you seen the kickboxing video, where he breaks his leg? OUCH!!!!:cry:
|
yes mate, OOOOUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Also got a video somewhere of a tai kwondo Vs Muay Thai fight, where the tai kwondo fighter is showing off all the flashy moves and the Thai fighter knocks him out with a spnning elbow |
yeah those vids are great, I like the one where you can see their pain best, yeah great.
Anyway anyone up for cheering on cripple 'og in his next bout? |

don't see the point of all these martial arts in terms of self defence or trying to be 'hard.' In todays world the person mugging you will more than likely just pull out a gun and shoot you if you tryed to deck him. Spinning elbows and uber kicks won't get you very far in that type of situation. Also won't do **** for you if you are confronted by a gang of 10-15 people ... they are more likely to beat you harder for trying to fight back!
In terms of self discipline and the like I can see the point but yoga does the same thing and you don't have to get your face pounded every once in a while to take part! |
I don't do Muay Thai for self defence, I do it to keep fit.
Though do have to agree that in this day and age, the mob rules and it don't matter if you're Bruce Lee, you'll be going down if the mob want it to be |
Muay Thai is more than learning to fight, it's got a more spiritural background, if you ever see a proper ring fight, you'll see the Wai Kru, it may seem daft to "outsiders" but it all has meaning

If you want to become fit start swimming and playing squash. These combined are the best work out you can give your body and you will achieve the desired results faster ... albeit with a slightly less overwhelming brag status |

Both of which are :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep:
If you want to become fit start swimming and playing squash. These combined are the best work out you can give your body and you will achieve the desired results faster ... albeit with a slightly less overwhelming brag status I don't brag how hard I am simply because I'm not, and I can't stand people who "act hard" as you say, it's very boring and tedious. There is always someone better and "harder" (just to coin the phrase) I'm a Roman Catholic, but there isn't any hard proof that there is a an almighty God, so I'm not religious, but I find Buddhism extremely interesting, and the amazing feats that the Shaolin Monks can do based on their beliefs is overwhelming. So for me, the Thai way is a complete package, harmony, peace, discipline and self confidence. it's not about the ability for fight, I'd rather sort a problem out another way than to resort to physical violence. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, or maybe I'm finding my inner peace but whatever the reason, I'm not interested in fighting, be it street, or on an amateur level to see how good or bad I am. I do it on a spiritual level. Have to agree that Swimming and playing squash is an easier and less painful way of getting fit, but there isn't many people about that do play squash, and I havent' played since I was in college |
