Trying to decide between Thaismai and Twins kicking pads on southwesternmuaythai.com. For the price I'm tempted to go with Thaismai. Has anybody used them? I've used the Twins ones, but not the Thaismai ones. Thaismai seem to be thicker, maybe more dense? Anybody have experience with them?
I have a pair of Thaismai, haven't had no major issues, only thing the foam dry rotted so when punching and kicking material flies out, but they are like 6 yrs old and held up this long.

Thai Boxing What's the difference between Thai boxing and kick boxing?
Are you telling me that Thai boxing is bare-knuckle?
Seesh so many idiots here... I'm start to get really worried about people take up american style kick boxing then open school and call it "Muay Thai".
They both are different. The way they fight, throw techniques, and rules are different.
Thai boxing tend to focus more on kicks, elbows, knees, and clinch work. They also use some sweep from clinch. Clinch may seems simple but it's actually very complex. It's whole new level of game. There's so many you can do in clinch beside knees and elbows. Also the way they kicks are different from kick boxing but kick boxing copied them, so now most kick boxer use Thai style kicks. Muay Thai also have kicks to legs which is illegal in kick boxing. Muay Thai have their own unique blocks when compared with kick boxer. Kickboxer tend to have boxer and karate/TKD blocks.
Kick boxing as originally created, is hybird of boxing, karate, and tae kwon do. They use to kicks more like karate/tae kwon do and kick with foot instead of shin. They tend to put more focus on using hands than kicks. They use to have no knees. basically it's like boxing with karate/TKD kicks add in.
However today many kickboxing has picked up Muay Thai game and become similar to Muay Thai. So it can be extremely difficult to tell if someone is doing kick boxing or Muay Thai UNLESS they stick to their old american style kick boxing rules (YUCK!).
Also kick boxing has become a general name for any stand up sport that are similar to Muay Thai or kickboxing. For example K-1, K-1 Max is kick boxing.
Lastly, today it's hard to tell who do Muay Thai or kickboxing. Many people also think Mirko Cro Cop do Muay Thai, this is untrue. Mirko Cro Cop has NEVER done Muay Thai, he do boxing, tae kwon do, and karate, branko simply pick up Muay Thai techique and teach it to his students. Don't believe me? go do some research on branko Cikatic (Mirko's first teacher).

Thai Boxing
Are there any Thai Boxing or Muay Thai classes in London for under 18s?
I've heard about Muay Thai from the film Ong Bak (which was amazing) now I want to pratice and learn it. Or does anyone know of a way of searching for classes and not Timeout London of Yellow pages site because they are useless. Thanks
What Tony Jaa does in Ong Bak isn't Muay Thai. It has influences from Muay Thai but also draws on many other martial arts. Overall it's just very good acrobatic styles. If you want to learn something like it don't restrict yourself to just looking for Muay Thai. Shop around. Remember, there is no superior martial art, just different levels of ability within the practisers own martial art.
Leather Muay My husband is looking for a muay thai boxing bag?
This bag has to be a heavy one 4ft leather good quality. He has between 100 200 pound to spend any info would be great thanks....
mmm what are you on about blindy!!
my husband is a killer lol!!
i know what it is as i have done it myself.
Here are some good name brands:
Fairtex
Throwdown / Title
Combat Sport International
Windy
Twins
You can find them on many martial arts supply websites - sorry I don't know any in UK, but I can comfortably recommend those brands. Regardless, look for leather outer shell, nylon double stitched seams, and don't forget to order mounting equipment. It's no good having a bag if it's laying on the floor.
Use a 100 lb UFC Muay Thai bag if you want leather-grain polyurethane that looks and feels like real leather. It includes a woven backing to make the polyurethane shell as strong as leather, too. The Muay punching bag measures 13-1/2'' x 72'', has a zip closure on the top cover, and features a welded galvanized chain secured to the bag with riveted strap assembly. *Please note: Retail price includes shipping and handling. No additional shipping charges incurred at checkout. This item cannot be shipped internationally or to Hawaii and Alaska due to size and weight.

Holidays in Thailand – Phuket in 10 Exciting Days
In spite of the tsunami of 2004, Phuket has steadily rebuilt much of its infrastructure so that it now holds as much of its previous glamour as before. Its beautiful beaches foster excellent diving conditions, and the ever-clear Andaman waters never let divers down. The nightlife is thriving and there's always something to get on board with, so you'll never find yourself without something to do.
Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre
At this time, at least three families of rescued gibbons have been introduced back into the wild and currently live on the Royal Reserve. Their distinctive calls can be heard in the forest, and visitors who catch a glimpse of these animals are always glad they came. A stopover or maybe even a quick swim at the nearby Bang Pae Waterfall makes this trip twice as appealing.
Adventure sports
Phuket is loaded with activities to get your heart racing and your adrenaline pumping. The island is home to Thailand's only licensed bungee jump operator who, on top of those credentials, is the only operator in all of Asia to insure this activity. Those wishing to dive into the forests and hills on the island can do so on the back of an ATV or strapped to a lumbering elephant. A shooting range in Chatong has safe and reputable facilities, and go-kart tracks are easy to find. No matter what your preference is, there's an outlet for the adventure seeker on vacation.
Island hopping
The archipelago of islands that extends past Phuket is known around the world for its beauty. Chartered daytrips can be arranged to almost any of these Andaman Islands, where passengers can enjoy sightseeing, snorkelling and depending on availability, overnight accommodation. You may have seen a few of these islands in feature films like The Beach or a James Bond movie. A few of the more outstanding islands are Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, Coral Island, Kaew Island, Similian Islands and Sirey Island.
Water sports
Water sports at Phuket are multi-faceted. Parasailing over the Andaman offers a great perspective with the coast on one side and the horizon on the other. Scuba diving and snorkelling in the famously calm, clear waters is a fun activity that the whole family can participate in. For those with a penchant for sailing, there are dinner cruises to enjoy, sailing lessons in which to enrol and fishing trips on which to embark.
Waterfalls
Phuket's waterfalls are great places to take a swim or enjoy a picnic. Kathu Waterfall is the farthest inland and offers inviting, cooling pools for a quick dip. Ton Sai is often photographed due to its pools and tall palm trees. The island's Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre is home of the island’s third waterfall, Bang Pae, and those who venture here are also afforded the opportunity to glimpse one of these rare animals.
Shopping
Shopping is a popular pastime anywhere in Thailand. Shoppers in Phuket will find the whole gamut of traditional souvenirs. Silk, cotton and custom-made clothing can all be found at attractive prices, as can leather, jewellery and antiques. Patong is home to many of the markets and due to the everyday tourist scene, shoppers do well to come prepared ready to bargain for a price that both parties can agree on.
Eating out
Restaurants in Phuket cater for every palette with international and world-class Thai cuisine available all over the hottest tourist districts. Fresh seafood is in seemingly endless supply, and most dishes are tailor-made to satisfy tourists—not too spicy without a specific request. Authentic Thai food is easier to find the farther inland you go, where the crowds of tourists give way to legitimate Thai villages and communities.
Thai kick boxing
Visitors who come to Thailand specifically to study martial arts will not be disappointed in Phuket. Phuket Town, Chalong and Rawai are all home to open training gyms where students learn the ancient martial art form of Thai kick boxing, or Muay Thai, which has increasingly gained world recognition for its highly effective combat style. Its popularity is evident in the droves of spectators that gather every Friday to watch the fights hosted in Phuket Town.
Promthep Cape
Promthep Cape is one of Phuket's most photogenic spots, a fact to which the crowds of tourists testify. On-site is a popular merit-making shrine covered in miniature elephants. There's also a statue erected in honour of a 19th century prince well-known for founding a Thai school of navigation. The cape is a great place to take spectacular photos, especially at sunset when the evening light bathes this southernmost point of the island.
Temples
Wat Chalong is the most visited Buddhist temple on Phuket, due largely in part to its unique design and décor, spacious grounds and modern chedi (pagoda). Other well-known temples include Pra Tong, Put Jaw, Jui Tui, Pra Nahng Sahng and Sanjao Sam San. When visiting any temple, locals will appreciate it if you practice proper etiquette—namely covering your legs and shoulders, taking off your shoes and maintaining an air of reverence when inside the sacred buildings.
