1) Is Twins a really good brand as far as gloves and shin guards go? Every review I've read on them has been positive, but I figured I'd ask and get some feed back from other people. It's the brand that's caught my eye the most, already have some stuff picked out, just haven't bought them yet.

Yes, Twins gloves and other products are used around the world by top fighters and I haven't seen any bad reviews so far.

2) Has anyone tried the Full Throttle Conditioning DVD from rosstraining.com? I'm going to be running every day and training twice a day for 4-5 days a week, but I really want to get my cardio up to an exceptional level, so I'm looking for something a little extra. Is the DVD worth it? Is it bogus? Does it help? Anything like that would be useful.

Sorry I'm not familiar with it.

3) What's the best material to fill a heavy bag with? I've heard a few things. Sawdust, shredded clothing, ect.
|
A lot of people will tell you different things, I think many materials can be used but a lot of guys fill their bags with torn up cloths etc, packing them tightly is the key. A load of old ass clothes will do the job if you cut them up into small pieces, just make sure its packed tight.

4) Has anyone ever trained in Thailand? Obviously I'm not looking to do it any time soon, I'd like to train for 1-2 full years before considering it, but I'm completely in love with the idea of doing it.

I haven't been there myself but it would be great, if you decide you want to go some time the guys over at
K-1fans have some great gym guides etc, and guys that could answer some of your questions.

(5) Any tips or anything like that? What can I expect? I've been doing a lot of reading, but still, I like to hear from other people.

Cardio is a big deal in Muay Thai, you obviously already know this but running is a part of all Muay Thai fighters training schedules and getting up early to do so is a factor too, so they can fit another run in later on in the day and fit in bag/pad work between them, along with some rest. Of course it all depends on the level you are aiming for, thats a pro like schedule lol.
Good luck with everything.
