That's why I'd like to go to Thailand; not only will I be taught Muay Boran as it's supposed to be, but it will also correct what I might be doing wrong, and put an emphasis on those situations. I don't know how well I'll do against another because I've only hit the air in front of me. My muscles have seemingly gotten more developed, and I feel much better, but I need to know that I'm doing everything correctly. All I have is a bunch of banana trees, but they still produce bananas, and I feel it would be a waste to kick them.

And unless you find a banana tree that will kick you back, you will only get so much out of that.
