I've been training Muay Thai at Niagara Top Team since November 2025 and was looking to improve on my boxing. I work in Port Colborne right off Highway 140 and was looking to go to Nappers Boxing Club right after work Monday to Friday.

Was just curious to see if anyone here trains there and able to provide any details about their gym?

Hi everyone,

For the past 9 months I've been having difficulty finding a job after applying to so many jobs. I have a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering with 16-months of experience working at a Utility company in Toronto, ON. I've been fortunate to have about 2-3 interviews so far, but ended up being rejected which is fine... It's part of the process.

Between Feb-Mid April was where I was at my lowest point mentally. Not being able to see any results drove me to not apply as frequent between those months, but now I am back on track thankfully.

At this point I feel like my back is against the ropes in terms of my career, but outside of that I have balance and peace. I have a loving partner in my life who supports me and understands what I am going through. Additionally I also found a passion training in Muay Thai which helps a lot with the stress (would be interested in taking a fight if I feel confident enough).

I guess the reason why I am posting on here is because I just wanted to get some advice/opinions on the following questions to help make the job search comeback stronger than ever.

1. As an Electrical Engineering graduate with a background in Utilities, is it worth learning/reviewing the fundamentals in power systems and then use that to build a project to make my resume stronger?
2. I've had some thought going into the EV industry since that seems a lot more interesting to me, but I don't have much experience with EV's so would it be a waste of time for me to learn it on my own? I am more than willing to learn, my only concern is the time it will take, resulting in a larger gap since I graduated.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Any advice, comments, or personal stories would be greatly appreciated!!

I’ve been seriously considering going to Thailand to train Muay Thai and wanted to get some input from people who’ve done it.

I’ve been training consistently for the past 6 months, about 4–5 times a week, and haven’t missed sessions. At this point I feel like I’ve built a solid base and I’m physically and mentally ready to push myself through more intense, structured training.

The main goal isn’t tourism. I’m going primarily to train and fully immerse myself in it. That said, it would still be nice to have the option to explore a bit during rest days if time and energy allow.

For those who’ve gone:

• What gyms would you recommend for someone serious about improving?
• How intense is the day-to-day training compared to what you experienced back home?
• Any advice on picking the right location (more isolated vs. somewhere with things to do nearby)?
• Anything you wish you knew before going?

Appreciate any advice or experiences you can share.
