Kaoponlek vs Visanupon

The right place, right time, right technique = quick finish. This is one of many examples. Be accurate, be strong, be smart.

New Shipment of Gear!

York Muay Thai just got it's newest shipment of training gear from Thailand (March 2013):

Bag Gloves: smaller gloves designed to develop technique, smashing bags and pads.

Sparring gloves: bigger gloves with lots of cushioning for protection when punching a partner.
 
Leather Shin Guards: protect both shins and feet, thicker and more secure than "cloth/sock" guards.


Thai Pads: New leather pads for target practice smashing




All equipment from this shipment are from the Thaismai brand. If you are missing something, grab it now! Gear is already in limited supply

Damien Alamos vs Thongchai Sithongsak (video)

One shot can decide it all. You've seen it with fighters of all calibers. The amount of time, dedication and spirit put into training cannot always be measured by the performance of a fighter on any given day.
