Muay Thai Chris is supported in part by sponsorships, affiliate commissions, product partnerships, and direct viewer support. This page explains those relationships plainly, in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255).
The short version: we may earn money when we recommend something. We only recommend things we actually use or believe in, and being paid never buys a positive review.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site, in video descriptions, and in social posts are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same either way.
Sponsored content
Some videos, posts, and sections of content are sponsored — meaning a brand paid for the content to be produced or for placement within it.
When content is sponsored, we disclose it:
Verbally, in the video, near the start and before any discussion of the product
On screen, with a visible text disclosure
In the video description, using clear language such as “Sponsored by” or “Paid partnership with”
In post captions, on social platforms
We do not bury disclosures in a hashtag pile, behind a “more” link, or at the end of a description where nobody reads.
Gifted products
We sometimes receive gear, equipment, apparel, or supplements free of charge for review or testing. Receiving a product free does not guarantee coverage, and it does not guarantee positive coverage. When we cover something we received for free, we say so.
Editorial independence
We only work with brands whose products fit the training and martial arts world this channel is about.
We do not partner with alcohol, gambling, or any category that conflicts with our values.
Sponsors do not get approval over our opinions, and they do not get to review or edit our assessment of their product before publication.
If we do not like something, we will say so, or we will decline the partnership rather than pretend.
Our opinions are our own, based on actual use.
Viewer support
Contributions through Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, YouTube memberships, and similar platforms directly fund gear, travel, and production. These are voluntary and are not payments for any specific coverage or endorsement. Supporting the channel does not buy influence over content.
Training content is not professional advice
Nothing on this site or in our content is medical, nutritional, or professional training advice, and no product recommendation should be treated as such. Martial arts training carries a real risk of injury. Consult a qualified physician before starting any training program, and train under qualified in-person supervision. See our Terms of Use for the full disclaimer.
