not the grading argument again...how many times has this been argued about on here now??
if people want to grade, great
if people want to fight, great
if people want to do both, great
if poeple want to do neither, thats fine too!
we have all the above and i couldnt give a $hit if people slate us for having gradings in thai boxing. they aren't compulsory, people dont have to do them and they cost £15 once or twice a year and every penny of that goes straight back in to our gym on equipment etc for people to use.
the fighters dont grade but they do help out with the gradings and none of them are so superior or snobby that they would laugh at someone for having a goal of a grading to work towards because they know that fighting is not for everyone, but most people need some sort of goal and recognition to aim for.
i couldnt care less if "its not what they do in thailand" thats not being disrespectful, i spend a good portion of my time training in thailand every year so i know perfectly well that it would mean nothing there, but we are not in thailand and have to base what our gym does on the requirements of the people that pay to train there.
no one in thai boxing will ever, ever agree on this subject, it just wont happen.
