    N-Class. 10oz gloves, shinguards, 5 x 1.30 rounds, 1 minute rest between. No knees or elbows to head (though I got carried away and ended up kneeing the poor lad in the head).

    Might give it a go, wonder if there's anything like it in Efinburgh.

    Think you're in a different country aren't you? Would have thought there would be an amateur rule set where you are too.

    I'm pretty sure we have C-class, B-class and pro

    C-Class should be the same, but without Shinguards. You'd likely have N-Class too.

    I liked how in the second round you clinched and slammed him on his back and then threw yourself on the ground. So very kind. You should have tapped and let him win. What kind of martial artist are you?

    Just sat down to watch this...had to make the comment regarding your wai and Ram; very poignant - the other fighter did not or it just warn't shown?

    I see you're teaching a bit of Judo at 2:44, lol.

    See that he tried a spinning back kick - you've no time for that *******, lol

    Even at the end of round 1, I couldna help but notice you going effortlessly between a good western boxing 'head-hunters-walkdown' and the traditional muay thai punch once you arrived at position - or am I seeing things?

    Great fight!

    He didn't do a Wai Khru. Mine was pretty basic. Nothing special.

    I was trying to close down the gap to limit his more flamboyant kicking and stay in the pocket for clinch as our game plan was primarily low kicks, and clinch and knee.

    Thanks.

    Of course we expect nothing less than a knockout via Van Damme helicopter kick next time.

    My understanding has been that Scotland has had a problem in the past with different gyms following different rules and too many organisations.

    IIRC 'C' class rules were just recently brought in over the last couple of years and there was only one title - for 'A' class, which has changed now.

    AFAIK...

    Amateur- Full padding, FTR 4×1.5 min rounds

    C-class – elbow/shin pads FTR, 5×1.5 min rounds

    B-class – elbow pads, FTR, 5×2 min rounds

    A-class – standard A-class rules, FTR 5×3′s

    Amateur, Pro-Am and Pro

    Check the Scottish Federation of Muay Thai Amateur and for the pro's the SPMF. There's also the STBA and of course the UK MuayThai Federation (UKMF).

    Anyone who wants to jump in to verify if any/all of the above still remain true and to what extent, please feel free.
