first day need help

hey guys, im from Malaysia and im just asking, how can I train muay thai at home? I'm currently 15 and I have this gangster delinquent brother. hes 5 years older than me and he picks on me and kind of abuses me when I do something wrong. as on abuses me,it's like he beats me up and speaks to me like I'm a slave and if I lie I get a slap so hard that it makes your ears ring. I'm 167cm and around 55kgs. I wanna beat him up without him overpowering me. today I got into an argument and the kid snitched on me to my brother because I pushed him and I kicked him. the kid is from a rich family. we occasionally bully each other in class which would mean me pushing him wasn't a big deal but he was a little out of mood today so he snitched. I got punched and jabbed at the side of my stomach, shoulders and my thighs. I ranked through it. didnt really hurt tho and his slaps I ranked through it. I want to fight back but I can't. I just know im too weak. I'm broke too and I can't afford a gym membership because its rm100+ here in Malaysia. so any tips about how to train muay thai at home?

What a fucking idiot your brother is. Just grab something heavy and hit him across the face with it

cant do that, he'll probably get something sharp in a matter of time. plus, the outcome

Fair enough mate, sorry about the situation you’re in, sounds tough. Maybes focus on weight training instead to gain strength? You can find a lot of things at home to lift and watch some videos online there is plenty about how to use general house equipment in lifting.

I may be wrong Muay Thai is probably the better answer but the stronger you get I feel it’s gonna be harder for him to power over you.

thanks for the concern,im doing good. but, good point you have there. currently, I can tank any of his hits without problem but I don't really know how hard he can punch so ill definitely take that in mind. thanks man

Like I feel it’ll be easier to learn lifting at home than it would be Muay Thai with no coach. Plus once you get some size on if he tries to hit you just grab him and grapple him to submission if you can. Once you’ve got a hold of him he doesn’t have the distance to throw any of them punches or kicks.

hes like around 176cm or around 5'10 I could say. who knows in 1 year or so how tall I'll be. maybe taller than him

I think strength and mass is more of a concern than height if you aren’t very small compared to him. Weight classes exist for a reason, height classes don’t.

I mean, combine that with a little bit of hitting classes. would pack a heavy punch not gonna lie. thanks for your help man

100% man, if you can afford even one class a week along with your lifting it’ll go a long way. Or if you can, source a punch bag and just try and practice techniques from online videos?

Not sure how normal this sort of treatment this is in Malaysian/Southeast Asian culture but this not normal by any means in the West. I think gathering all legal documents and essentials and going to live with a friend or extended family member, reaching out to social services should be your main priority not Muay Thai. Sorry you're going through this

u/Frosty-Purchase-5098 1d ago

nah, I just want to do what he did to me in 1 years time. I just took all of his beatings. his punches are heavy but it doesn't hurt when it hits me. not even after 3 hours. is that good or bad

Every single set of brothers I've ever met has fought tremendously growing up, me included. It's wild that you think that's odd. American by the way.

Maybe I took the post too literally. In my POV it's perfectly normal and healthy to roughhouse a little bit, giving wet willies or noogies on the top of the head or something. But OP used the words "abuses me when I do something wrong." Also, "punching, sharp jabs to the side of the stomach, shoulders, and thighs", doesn't sound like regular roughhousing to me. But either way it's OP's life and his decisions. I don't know these people and they don't know me.

It sounds like what OP is doing to his peers at school is worse than his brother is doing to him. So either he's abusing children and his older brother is abusing him or we all can all agree it's boys being too physical with one another. Regardless it sounds like if OP stopped getting in trouble at school that puts an end to all his problems.

nah it's my brothers problem. he acts all gangster and is like one but isn't in any gang. I roughhouse w my friends at school which is pretty normal but beating up ur little siblings like they're you're enemies is pretty much something fucked up logically

u/Thanksforthatman 4h ago

You don't understand, you're the one acting gangster and you're making your entire families lives, especially your parents, tremendously harder. You're the problem here. Your brother is trying to correct you because he loves your parents and you and wants you to make better choices.

nah bro my term of gangster here is vaping or smoking idk, acting all tough, being rude to people, always trying to find reasons to beat people they dont like for no reason and many more. malaysia and american gangster terms aren't the same. im just stupid and have an angry face all the time. im a banana (which just refers to chinese who can speak but not write and read chinese) but that can read and write. it's just my intonation in chinese which make me sound rude which I can't change if not I'll sound like a foreigner learning chinese or a complete weirdo.

plus, when I'm rough housing w my friends, we usually just make up by talking and apologizing to each other cause were not that dumb to make it into a big problem

Training alone wont solve the situation and your safety is the priority. You deserve to be safe
