And then you realize it doesn't even compare to what higher level people can do with it that don't even consider it their bread and butter. I'm not bitter...

Agreed, when I first began guillotining other newbies was my go to move, to the point where I had to stop to make it competitive and get some good rolling in, how ever once they all learnt to avoid it I got my rear end kicked over and over.

There's probably plenty of people who would be savants at throwing elbows, but it's hard to spar with them safely and so they get proportionately less time to R&D their technique. Unless they're Thais, I guess.

Does anybody have any advice for protecting messed up (broken) toes while doing muay thai? Do people wrap feet like hands? Is there a particular brand of wrestling shoes that is really good?

I have never seen anyone do muay thai with wrestling shoes. you can splint toes together or otherwise essentially duct tape whatever is wrong but if you're breaking your toes while kicking there's not really anything that's gonna help except working on your form & power with your newly healed toes after a nice rest

It's my wife who's broken the same toe (the one right next to the big toe) multiple times. It's probably her technique, but it's also the people she spars with. She's way better than me (been doing it much longer), but because she's a she, the trainer always has her spar with these middle aged moms who show up and end up stomping/kicking/etc her right in the toes.

Echoing above that you shouldn't be sparring if you're gonna reinjure yourself right away, but let's just say you're trying to favor a toe on one foot. Kick more deeply and from a closer range so you're landing more on the shin. Don't whiff probing kicks where you start relaxing your foot and let the toes rotate up to the leading edge of the kick. Don't teep at maximum range (same as starting from closer range).

I did a muay thai class in wrestling shoes once to protect a damaged toe or cover up a cut or something, I don’t remember. I couldn’t spin on the ball of my foot and it screwed everything up. Too sticky.

Unless they're Thais, I guess. Really depends on your gym. I did a bit of thai and even then, i spent more time elbowing bags and targets than people. Even people that had been there for a while spent a lot of time hitting pads. Elbows loving hurt man

So today I was training in jujutsu (not brazilian) with a guy two belts ahead of me and he kept telling me to improve my blocks. EVERY. loving. TIME. Our sensei agreed with him and showed me what I was doing wrong, and he made a point to remind me that I'm doing perfectly fine for my level and that what I needed to work on were just tweaks that would improve my overall technique. It still bothered me a lot that I couldn't fine tune this simple block, we're talking white belt poo poo here, and it pissed me off enough that I couldn't really focus on the rest of the moves and instead just focused on trying to nail that loving block and ARGH I'm still pissed off that I couldn't make it. This frustration coupled with our ryu's strict no-swearing-on-the-tatami policy has me posting itt to vent after having lurked for a long time. Also, hi thread, yellow belt jj eurogoon here.

I use SA more as a source of information than comedy and if I was looking to take up a martial art I would prefer to stumble into a thread that just straight up told me there are 5-10 martial arts that work and that the rest are varying levels of garbage instead of a more friendly thread that might get me killed one day because nobody wanted to hurt my feelings so I took up wing chun
