A TRIO OF KNOCKOUT-WORTHY COMBOS FOR THE 'DEVIL-FISTED'

By Evan Lee

Most of the people in the world are right-handed. If you're a southpaw Muay Thai fighter, things can get kind of lonely.

Most people you fight will be fighting out of the orthodox stance. Same goes for your sparring partners. Odds are, too, that your coaches are orthodox fighters, as well as the most popular fighters at any given time.

By Sean Fagan

Times are wild right now. For example, they're getting SO crazy that all types of animals are coming out and flooding out into the open. If you’ve seen that video of all the monkeys running out onto the road because there’s no tourists to feed them, you know what I’m talking about. 

But even with all that craziness, Paul and I are here to try and help you find a silver lining and find a way to make sure that you’re still progressing towards your goals despite what’s happening. Times are tough, but you can be tougher!

With that being said, I hope that Paul and I are able to give you some good advice that you can apply to your life and help keep you strong...

Is sex before a Muay Thai fight okay?

Or does it hinder my performance?

Let’s take a more serious, deep, hard look into whether the century old idea of sex before competition is detrimental to our game.
