    Muay Thai, handball teams off to Iran & Pakistan

    The Afghan Muay Thai team left for Iran to participate in the Asian Championship and the handball squad departed for Pakistan to take part in a tripartite handball tournament, officials said on Thursday. Eight athletes in the 45-75 kilograms weight category would take part in Asian Muay Thai Championship in Iran, head of Afghanistan's Muay Thai Federation, Amir Hussain Hussaini, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
    A three-member official delegation was accompanying the team, he said, adding that 20 countries were participating in the event.
    Meanwhile, the national handball team left for Pakistan. Olympic Committee spokesman, Mujibur Rahman, said the three-nation tournament, featuring Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan, would be conducted in Faisalabad city of Punjab.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

          Muay Thai is crazy tough. Did it for around 6 months to a year, twice a week. Every single time I got home from training my body was completely broken, I could barely walk.

          Two weeks of Muay Thai and you're either in shape, or dead.

          Too bad the training moved to another part of town, else I'd still be doing it. It's awesome, except when you spar and get paired up with a guy who weighs 20 kg more than you and has trained for 10+ years.

          Oh, and you learn to jump rope too. Oh yes, you'll ****ing know what a jump rope is after doing Muay Thai...

                  Share some tips.
                  Well first off you start by skipping 30 minutes. And no, I'm not talking about sissy skipping where you bounce with both feet on the ground. You cross your legs, do jumping jacks, high knees, skip on one foot for minutes at a time and kick straight ahead. Basically you move your feet in 30 different ways while skipping.
                  Also, they'll tell you every now and then to skip as fast as you can for a minute or two.
                  If somebody arrives late for training you stop skipping, do 30 push ups and then go back to...yes you guessed it...skipping.
                  The skipping is also interrupted by crunches and various other varm up exercises.

                  At this point you're pretty much completely exhausted. 30 min of skipping might not sound like much, but that's because you don't know how to jump rope properly.

                  After the 30 min, you throw away the jump rope and start shadow boxing. After shadow boxing you put on some gloves and your partner puts on pads and you start doing different combinations. Jab, right, hook, high kick, low kick, knee. elbows etc. all mixed together.

                  Then you might do a couple of rounds of clinching or sparring. You'll need groin and teeth protection as well as shin pads. If you get teamed up with a tall guy in a clinch, and you're not experienced, get ready to be thrown around the room like a ragdoll.

                  There are many other exercises of course. Sometimes you'll work on the punching bags, sometimes you'll do high kicks up to 10 (first you kick once, then you kick twice, then you kick three times, etc. all the way up to 10. Both legs), other times you'll work knees or low kicks.

                  Did I mention push ups and sit ups? Yeah, a crapload of those as well.

                  Seriously though it's tough training but it's great fun and great for getting into shape. And most people are nice, it's especially fun if you have a friend at your level to work out with.

                    The first gym I went to did that way...very old school. The one I go to now. Does warm up exercises which is mostly running around the gym, in between doing burpees, sit ups, v ups, push ups ,etc. Then after that we do two runs of shadow boxing and go into technique drills. This is where we basically work on attack, defense and tips. I.e. if someone jabs and crosses what do you do? It is done in real time. Then, we sometimes do clinch work, where two people get into the clinch position and get into the dominant position and throw some knees (we wear belly pads so go buckwild).

                    At the end of the class 4-5 rounds of sparring, which is hands down my favourite part of the day.

                    On the alternative days we do pad work...which is stretching followed by 5 rounds of roughly 4-5 minutes of pad work...nice and hard.
