There is a Mixed Martial arts gym here by the name of Degerberg Academy of Martial Arts. They focus mainly on this fighting style called the Degerberg Blend.
I don't like the blend because I don't like belt ranking systems.
So I use their facilities to train and I ocassionaly find one of their guys to sparr with.
So whenever they have smokers they would invite me to fight.

The last one I fought in was on April 5th. They told me over a month prior that it was Muay Thai rules. It was made perfectly clear that knees and Muay thai throws were allowed.
My opponent was a low kick kickboxer who was only fighing me because he had more experience, was taller, 25 pounds heavier and figured it was an easy win. He refused to fight anyone else.
First the guy came to me and said he won't fight 5 rounds. A week later he said only three rounds.
Then he said a few days later he would only go two rounds. Then a week before the fight he said he would only fight with shin guards!!!!

I figure since he wasn't experienced with knees and throws that i would focus on that.
As soon as the fight started I went right for the clinch.
I kneed him and they told me that I couldn't do that.
I threw him on his head with an upper body throw and they yelled at me and told me no throws were allowed.
At this point the fight stopped and I was arguing with the ref and one of the promoters.
I kept getting yelled at for hitting him in the back of the head while he was doing it too. They didn't tell him to stop until it got ridiculous in the last round.
When the fight was over I tried to tell Degerberg the promoter my complaint and he turned his back and walked away.
Why do they call it Thaiboxing if you can't knee, elbow or do throws?
And he is susposed to be a certified instructor from Thailand. I think that is a hoax. They think Thaiboxing is kickboxing with kicks to the legs.
