hey guys long time no post i'm still in the loving Australian desert, still my kicking my poo poo bag all by my lonesone, developing all those bad habits no jiu jitsu since i was last in Brisbane for a break which was like 6 months ago Have done a bit of proper muay thai training at my gym at home but gently caress all really I'm supposed to have an amateur muay thai fight in February or so. gently caress. So fat and slow and lovely. I'll have 2.5 months straight to prepare though once I get home in December plus whatever crap I can do here (mostly cardio I guess because bagwork sucks) oh this is about the dude that runs my gym at home: http://www.odt.co.nz/sport/other-sport/181356/kickboxing-tough-task-honey-badger he fought on Friday night, won his first fight but lost his second, first time in the ring in like 3 years because of knee injuries

Feeling better today. My knees suck. Not the joints, the strikes. Although the joints kinda suck too actually, one of them has some calcified muscle tissue or some poo poo on it after I fell on concrete and when I knee things it ends up swollen and kinda sore. Should really get something done about that. Have an injured ankle too because I was dumb and fell 3 meters to the ground off my frontend loader at work wearing jandals and now my ankle hurts like gently caress whenever I put weight on the front of my foot with the foot bent upwards if you know what I mean. It only happens like once a day when I walk up or down something pretty much but I injured it like 3 weeks ago so I should go see a doctor I guess. Feels good to be back in training. Starting to get flexibility back and feel more coordinated and faster. Just got to stop eating biscuits. No access to scales but probably 73-74kg and want to get down to probably 65. Was walking around at 68 earlier in the year without too much effort and still a bit fat at that. Diet is hard because it's like a million degrees here and I just eat biscuits and drink freezing refreshing cans of free coke from the company fridge. I need a padholder/sparring buddy at work gently caress

I bought new gloves and focus mitts and thai pads and really shiny shorts with lots of tassels and also some other stuff from a website in Thailand and they sent me an email yesterday saying "sorry bro your poo poo isn't going to ship for ages 'cos we're flooded" then today I got an email saying "hey bro your poo poo has shipped" so that's cool actual question: what weight gloves do you guys use for different stuff? I just use 14oz gloves for everything but is it usual to have a pair of 16oz for sparring and 10oz for bag/pad work or something? should I be doing it differently?

02-6611-0142-1 posted:Here's something I was typing up for my own benefit. Might as well drop it here to stir up conversation. I'm thinking about switching gyms this year, and made myself up a pros/cons list to try and help me weigh it up. I'd be keen if anyone with cage experience wants to have a look through and give me an opinion. I was thinking of kicking my training up a notch and taking a fight or two at the end of the year. Might as well take a fight or two before I pass my prime. I feel like I'll legitimize myself as a martial artist, even if I scrap MMA and just do BJJ/Judo for the rest of my life. But that's why I'm taking the decision so seriously, I intend to train the hardest I ever have and beat myself into the best shape of my life this year. Where's the new gym? Dip left advance? bummer I spent the last 6 months of last year flat-out working, now I'm taking like 3 months off and training thai every day at my "home" gym, it's a nice change of pace. Hoping to have an amateur fight in March

I don't want to post pictures because it's gross, but basically I broke my toe, and it made the toe malformed. Letting the toe keep growing forward will actually cut off this weird lump of flesh I've got at the front of the toe and return my toe to a normal shape. cut the bit of skin in front of the nail off now? just do it. get it over with. ?

My gym got kicked out of our old premises after 6 months because we were causing the ceiling in the offices downstairs to fall out. Third move since 2009, poo poo's getting old. We're hoping to get a sweet new premises soon, really big space, shared with a grappling/bjj gym these guys) who seem pretty legit. Right now we're just training in whatever rooms are free at the clubs and societies building at the university which kinda sucks cos we can't do grappling and have no gear really and have only 2hrs a day

My training schedule right now is Mon, wed, fri: 1hr mt technique, 1hr fitness/conditioning Tues, thurs: 1hr boxing, 1 hr sparring To change significantly when we get a new gym, ie, I'll just move in and live there haha since I'm probably loaning my trainer the cash to pay the deposit and poo poo. I need to thrash some bjj while I can too I'm down with rolling with gay dudes, I tried to get a gay dude I used to work with to get into bjj, he didn't like exercise though.

Training today kinda sucked, I had one of those days when you're like "gently caress this I'm doing everything wrong" although I did go down early and skip for like an extra half hour which was pretty awesome my movement in general sucks it's my no1 priority to improve that, head movement and footwork

So in the past you guys have talked about how hard it is to get girls to keep training at your gyms. We've never really had that problem, dunno why, but we have like... 6-8 girls that regularly come to train muay thai/boxing. Weird.

KingColliwog posted:Are you the guy who posted the pictures of the ultra ghetto gym with roof that was about to colapse? Looked very spartan and awesome Nah, but we got kicked out of our old gym with 2.5 years to go on the lease because basically that happened. Now we have a giant building which used to be an indoor paintball thing. It needs some work but it's great to be back in an actual gym where we can train more than once a day. As a plus there's a sweet BJJ/grappling gym in the other half of the building, so we can do muay thai/boxing in our half then go grapple in the other half

New gym!! Moved in last week.    We need like. 150 more mats. And to knock down some walls and clean up a heap of paintball residue off the walls (it used to be an indoor paintball thing). It's great having a real gym and full timetable of classes again. I'm doing 2-a-days now and Saturday mornings and actual sparring and wooo improvement. First amateur fight 28 April

Senor P. posted:Sweet space. You may want to put some cheap padding around those beams. (If you cover it with say colored duct tape, it doesn't look half bad.) Yeah that's on the to-do list.. have to clean all the paintball residue off the pillars first. Also need to knock down some walls which will make it like 1/3 bigger still, we've got some big mirrors at our old gym that we need to get moved in somehow. Going to put in a ring and etc. 4th gym site in 3 years, hopefully the last!! Other news, anyone else ever get sore wrists holding thai pads? I have some super-hard boon ones and they transfer all the energy of kicks right into my wrists. They're great to kick but kinda suck to hold

at least 2 showers, heaps of toilets, a BJJ/grappling gym with a Brazilian BJJ blackbelt in the other half of the building, and a big area upstairs where our MT trainer/owner is going to be living. I'm one of the longest standing members and put in some money for the deposit on this place despite not being very experienced or good at fighting (yay work interfering) so I sort of have a bit of a propriety feeling towards the gym I'm in the middle of taking like 5 months off work now just so I can actually train and have a fight for once, because my job is mineral exploration living in a tent in the Australian outback for weeks at a time, making it impossible to train consistently/at all So right now I don't do much except train/sleep/eat/repeat gimpsuitjones fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Mar 10, 2012 |

Omglosser posted:I dunno about where you guys are from, but there's this weird pseudo masculine 'thing' in my area, where if you train MMA and especially if you fight competitively, you're a "pussy". Like if a guy doesn't like another guy and the other guy does MMA, the first guy will be like "He's one of those fuckin' mma-whatever pussies." Or under no provocation you get something like "Fuckin' cage fighter pussy I ain't skeered of you." Just sharing a curious observation. I just don't get calling someone who happens to be dating your ex a pussy just because he can probably kick your rear end, especially when he's minding his own business. Well that's dumb.

Depends on your goals. If you want to fight mt, train mt. If you want to box, train boxing. If you take up boxing then move to mt you'll have a lot to relearn and you'll get kicked in the leg. A lot. From my mt training I find boxing sparring really hard now, because I'm so conditioned to using teeps to make space, finishing combos with kicks etc... I always end up starting to throw kicks from habit when boxing sparring Also sparring mt with the boxing guys at the gym is fun, it's so easy to kick them

Is that like.... today? 10 hours away? I sparred with some newer guys today (MT), it was interesting, for the last while I've only been sparring with the experienced fighters at my gym, they're all way better and way more experienced than me and I've been getting pretty consistently whipped, it was kinda fun to have a go with some newer guys and see how much I've improved... It gets disheartening when you're always sparring with guys with several fights (I've had none) and always getting outclassed so it was a good confidence booster... I still have a lot to work on before my fight though (5 weeks to go...) gimpsuitjones fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Mar 23, 2012 |
