On the Flip Side
Suffered a deep cut on my right shin after the bout. I tried to look for medical assistance but there was none around and ended up seeing a doctor the next day to stitch it up. It cost me more than $100!
Dont mean to bitch about it but I am pretty concerned for the young boys taking part in such fights as they might not be able to afford the medical bills and there is no medic around to provide immediate 1st aid should anything serious happen! Who is going to answer to their parents?
I will not take part in such fights again and i appeal to the coaches of the various clubs to only allow their students to fight if there is a first aider or doctor present. Lets not wait for a serious accident to happen before anyone does any Risk Assessment for such fights!
I oragnised an adventure race for the public earlier this year and we had first aiders on standby even for a non-contact sporting event!

Hi
Wing chun guy here again. That was a great "workout and friendly" fight.
I remembered i fought with a 18 year old local sg guy during my muay thai training. Both of us ran at the bukit timah turf club horse track, followed by sparring. I got knocked out within 3 rounds. Must admit i m old ..how does a 36 year old man then fought with a 18 year old fit muay thai guy ? Stamina can never beat them.
When i got knocked out in the training ring or u called it exhaustion, i never thought of losing in the training , at the point i only worry about my parents, what if i was "injured permanently" and that i could not support my parents anymore ? That 3 rounds knocked out changes my life's perspective.
I decide then that when age catches up, fitness can be maintained, but agility can never be faster than the young boys. That is why i trained wing chun for defensive/attack, and wushu for weapons trainings (in case pple chase me with parangs, i can defend myself)
Muay thai - very very good in stamina training. But when old, need alternate skills to survive.
I learn wing chun from a nus law professor ..well in case u "win" someone outside the street using muay thai, make sure u are cover by the law as well so u are justified in self-defense :)
Anyway great fights and keep up the good workout :)
