Been watching this girl since her first year in Thailand. She is the realist of real things. She is the bomb.

Thank you for educating our junior Nak Muay Farang. Refreshing and inspirational.

This is a really great and insightful overview of equipment. I’ve been looking for my first shin pads as I’m starting out and sizing with with something I’m very concerned about. You explained it so well I know what I need now. Thank you!

Yo Sylvie you’re madddd insightful, it’s so helpful. Plus to everyone watching this! Don’t shy away from a lil pain when it comes to picking and choosing pads, when you get in that ring (if you do) and kick an elbow, you’re gonna wish you kicked a cold boon pad more 🥲😂

So glad i discovered this channel, learning so much about every aspect of muay thai. Priceless videos

Sylvie you're an inspiration person. Absolutely amazing what your doing with Muay Thai. Congratulations on all your fights. Love from 🇺🇲 FL. 💚

Dude when you said you dont wear gloves on the bag I looked at your knuckles…. Holy. Shit. They look like Wonderboy Thompson’s dad’s knuckles. His index knuckles look like golfballs. Theyre a karate family but they do Maki training. I guess thai fighters just hit trees traditionally, but they have a leather wrapped hardwood post basically that they just dig punches in to. They follow through and let it reverberate through their arms and hands. Brutal shit.

Awesome video,learned a lot..Thanks Sylvia.

cool to see a decathlon recommendation. In Europe Decathlon is extremely low priced. I've only seen the gloves which have good design/shape but seem to be made of a very flimsy synthetic material. If the kick shield has held up in a Thai gym though, maybe it's all worth trying.

This is a great video. Your insights are VERY helpful! I hope this doesn't sound creepy, but I really like your ink! Is there an appropriate way for you to show off the work you've had done?

Nice video. You mentioned Andy Thomson passed on. I knew he was ill but his passing is very sad. He was my friend

I know this is 2 years old now, but Top King has a great compartment for smaller hands. Very comfortable once they break in as well, imo.

I LOVE AND USE FAIRTEX AND YOKKAO P.S LOVE THE HAIRCUT!!!

very good talk learned alot

Never heard of woody 1 of my friends/student name is woody ..il go buy a pair for him :) thanx.. keep up the good work

Sylvie, what are your thoughts on the thumbless training bag gloves? Are Thai's still using them during bag/pad work?

11:00... Reminds me of the Yokkao brand😆 Great mitts though

Seeing those Boon pads triggered some real PTSD for me 😅 In my old gym in Scotland we had one pair of boon pads that had been in the freezing cold gym for years, the sting from kicking them is something is horrific 😂 You always knew you were in for some rough rounds when were last up to the pad box

amazing video 😃

Had my first karate class should keeping doing it or find Muay tye gym what do u think?

Hi Sylvie, I cancelled my UFC fight pass (overdue) so I could support your Patreon and your mission to do all this amazing training and documentation! Does the $10 per month level allow me to access all the long-form videos, and can I download them or in some other way watch them without internet access (for example on an international flight or on the subway etc..)? Thanks. Keep up the fantastic work!!! -Gabriel

$10 pledge gives you access to the full Muay Thai Library, 90 hours of video commentary, and tons of other material, podcasts, etc. You can see the Library here: www.patreon.com/posts/muay-thai-uncut-7058199 -- but you need internet access, for all the video. Patreon even has an app. None of the videos are downloadable. I appreciate your support! The Muay Thai Bones podcasts are all downloadable in audio form, like a typical subscription podcast.

Have you tried yokkao brand?

Asking for material advice if you come around. 1- Never found training gloves that suit me great. Used to like Twins, but they were bulky. Top King felt too airy and fancy. Hated thong position in Hokkao. Boon were so so. Got Fairtex, but padding is light : had to cut foam from old gloves to wrap on joins and miss the bar grab. Thinking abour Raja, is it good for medium hands small wrist or do you have a better idea ? 2 - Since I tend to slip when I train, I tape my toes together not too tied. Repeting the process is irritating. Thai sport tape is strongly glued and western does not hold sweat. Any suggestion ? 3 - Underwears. Cotton holds sweat and gets uncomfortable. Synthetic becomes fast a bacteria broth, especially in Thaïland. Did you find a way to manage this dilemna ? Thanks.

Raja were my favorite gloves, and I found them a bit tighter in terms of fit than twins. I highly recommend getting Cleto Reyes gloves. recently bought a pair and it's by far the best made glove I've used. Super high quality leather and really solid, heavy padding. They're traditional boxing gloves not thai gloves (stiffer, tighter, more protected wrist, which I like) and a little more expensive in most countries but well worth the price.

@@Qjemuse I got a pair of Yokkao Matrix. The company did manage thumb and gloves are synthesis of Fairtex and Twins (good padding without too much bulk). Scratch also offers better wrist support for me, so this is a winner. Anyway, I need to try some Cleto. Thanks Dave. For underwears, I went with UA Tech boxers and wash them in sink with a mix of soap and tea tree oil. Nevertheless, I should explore merino. Thanks Johnny for your suggestion. Finally, i got Akiléine Nok to harder my feet soles. I also manage to ground myself more when boxing. Thought this feedback might help some.

does twins, topking, yokkao, fairtex, boon craft their equipment equally in terms of quality?

Sylvie I was just watching the video of 7 years ago with Master K, where he ask you what’s the name of the snake that strikes n you said cobra. N he said copper something. N ur progression from then to now. Prikknu. 🙏🏽

I’d love to know what size those Fairtex shin guards were. Trying to buy some in the UK but can’t find a small size in those ones and it’s a risk buying medium as I’m really small.

@@8limbsUs Thank you! I searched for S but couldn't find it so I guess M is the smallest and the measurements look smaller than my current ones which is great :)

Do the nak Muay wear a toque or cup during sparring?

I have really skinny ankles and calves, and found that the top king shinpads are the only ones that stay in place for me.

I always wanted to ask you why did you stop wearing handwraps? Was it due to you competing in Kard Cheuk in which you had to condition your hand for less protection? I do want to know if there are any benefits as I am slowly using more bareknuckle training on bags.

Hi Sylvie, not sure if you've already answered this before but why is it that the 90's had a golden era in muay thai?
