Yea seriously, I have carpel tunnels and was thinking about pussying out of BJJ for a month to recover, but then I hear Adolfo's story and I need to train, to kinda make up for his lack of being able to do so

I feel bad about interrupting Gi-chat because it's goddamn hilarious, but I have a stupid question to ask. I've been doing Muay Thai for about a month and a half and my swing kick is crap. I think it's mostly because it hurts so loving bad when I hit the bag so I subconsciously flinch at the last minute. Would something like this ankle support thing help? I've also been getting shin splints from all the jumping rope so I'm guessing it would help with that too?

I don't know what a swing kick is (like a roundhouse?), but I wear ankle supports when I workout. They usually have little to no padding and are pretty much there just so you don't roll/sprain your ankles. I think to get your kicks better you probably just have to harden up and deal with it. You should get used to it eventually. Kind of like getting hit in the face.

I bought a new Gi just before leaving NYC, so I've got a pair of old white judo pants, and I'm going to colour the gently caress out of them. Also, for my Megurubuddies, appearently it's a week old, but there's a new update, and it's loving awesome! edit: link: http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/2010/05/30/all-rounder-meguru/ Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Jun 2, 2011 |

Are you landing your kick in a way that causes your foot to extended on impact, and thereby aggravating your ankle? You might want to try striking more with your shin, and less with your foot if that's the case.

However, you shouldn't be hitting with your ankle. Hit at least 2 inches higher up your shin. It's going to hurt like a bitch for quite a while. Also, think about taking calcium supplements.

I don't think you need to wear pads while kicking the bag. The ankle support is good so that if you aim wrong and land too low, your instep will be covered. You need to toughen and desensitize the shin over time. After a while, you'll be able to take the ankle support off. Also look for the softest banana bag that's free. Kick higher up to avoid the settled material at the bottom of the bag. e: it is possible that you overturn your hip so much that your outer ankle hits the bag. Yeah, that's turning over too much. kimbo305 fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jun 3, 2011 |

Was hitting the heavy bag today at YMCA because I'm back at my parents with nothing to do and I had a guy tell me I shouldn't use gloves while hitting the bag. Apparently I should use dumbbells instead because it, "makes your hands tough and you punch way faster"  This man was also karate chopping the bag before I started working on it.

Slow repetition of strikes with a weight will make your striking faster, striking without gloves will toughen up your knuckles and knife hands are like any other strike, have to be practiced on a resistant surface in order to get your hands used to absorbing the strike. Gloves are for the protection of your hands and wrists. Adolfo Castro fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Jun 3, 2011 |

I know of people that use weighted gloves and what not but that usually kept to like ~2 pounds. I'm guessing this guys meant like a 10 pound dumbbell which would lead to shoulder injuries like whoa. Hitting the bag with any kind of force with an unprotected fist is just asking for bloody broken knuckles. You're right about practicing knife hands though.

Paul Pot posted:hands are a little more complex and vulnerable than the shinbone. kyokushit produces more arthritis patients than power punchers. Personally, I agree in that bare knuckle punching is stupid, especially later in life. I've seen resistance striking with weights and bands, here's an example with kettlebells. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUSIAHQK5CQ I have to admit I do sometimes incorporate that movement into my kettlebell routine, although don't find it beneficial, the exercise does exist though.

I'd be kind of pissed off if I saw someone punching the bag with a dumbbell in my gym. That's not gonna contribute to the longevity of the bag. I suppose it is better than air punching though.

At my boxing gym someone punching the bag without gloves would be considered an idiot. Someone punching the bag with weights in their hands would be dragged into the parking lot and put down

What's the deal with cultivating calluses? I keep tearing skin off my hands while grabbing gi's. The top of the third joint of each finger is constantly covered in scabs, will it be detrimental if I moisturise them, or should I cover them in tape, or what? I want to encourage them to get more callus-y, they're just not getting enough time between sessions to completely heal up.

It's still going to hurt and bleed a little but not as much. The two things in my first aid kit are icy hot and sports tape-- if one or both of those things won't heal it, the only things left are time or surgery.

Guitarists use rubbing alcohol to dry out their calluses. I think using a moisturizer is counter-productive

So I'm currently in Pensacola, Florida, and I've been looking for a place nearby where I am (gulf breeze) to train. There's a couple of McDojos in the area, and this is my first encounter with this phenomenon since I did ninjitsu in my early teens. There's a family karate place driven by a very intense middle aged man with eyeliner who looks like he's incredibly high on coke, populated by mostly kids and old men and a terrible stick-figure like aikido instructor who looked more like a ADTRW goon than a martial arts black belt (wide black pants and all), and a tae-kwon-do place with more teenage black belts than there were members (paradox)-- at least the TKD sparring sessions looked pretty active, so if nothing else I'm sure they have great cardio-- But my biggest disappointment was a traditional jujitsu club some five minutes away from where I'm staying. I was told about this place by the taekwondo instructor. It was kind of interesting- as soon as I told him my BJJ/JJ background he seemed completely disinterested in having me join the class like he'd been pushing for prior in our conversation, and was only too eager to tell me where I could find a jujitsu club, so away I go. I spent maybe 30 seconds looking at this jujitsu class before I left. It was an overweight older lady teaching standing wristlocks to fat kids and retirees. This was apparently what represented a fusion between krav maga and DRAGON GOD jujitsu There's apparently a gracie jujitsu place in Pensacola proper, but it's 20 minutes away by car, and being that I don't have a car or my driver's license (and that there is no public transportation in the city), I guess I'll have to make do with cardio. Which is fine, really, I ought to be running more anyway. (ps: I know this post makes me sound like an rear end in a top hat. I know not everyone is looking for a martial art where they leave half the classes bleeding and/or in pain.)

That's totally understandable. If you have even a little background with martial arts, you spot bad places right away. When I moved, I ended up looking for a place to practice for a couple months and all the well advertised places were offering something I wasn't interested in. I finally found the dojo I practice at now. I stumbled over it in a complete accident. It was in a non advertised location all the way at the end of an alley in an industrial part of town. The place was a group of dedicated people who know each other well and have been practicing together for many years.

Check how you're gripping; I used to have more developed calluses when I first started out, because I was gripping people really really hard all the time. How are you gripping?

Bohemian Nights posted:terrible stick-figure like aikido instructor who looked more like a ADTRW goon than a martial arts black belt (wide black pants and all) A lot of dojo use hakama instead of black belts to show who's a teacher and who isn't. There's nothing goony about them; they're a part of the aikido uniform. I might be misreading your comment though.

If it's a smaller tournament that'll happen a lot. Though the tournament direction should have okay'd it with you before he combined the weight classes. Besides, fighting the big guys is fun. I'm up to 250 at the moment because I'm a lazy fatass who doesn't train as much as I'd like, but when I was 215 or so I won just as many or more tournaments at +100kg than I did at -100kg.
