KildarX posted:I can continue this series with stuff like “Things that where useful to me from Wing”, “Bad fighting/self-defense advice I’ve been given from Wing Chun students/instructors” “Wing Chun Theory for Dummies.” and pretty much anything else if anyone is interested Please do. My only experience with Wing Chun was several months ago, a girl and a man enrolled in our gym (boxing, kick, muay, mma), they were supposedly good at it but wanted to learn a bit from other styles, so they tried their hand at boxing and kickboxing. Most of the things they explained sounded pretty cool, but I've never seen them do anything useful in free sparring though.

kimbo305 posted:Boxing for MMA or boxing boxing? I learned boxing in a pure boxing gym and they taught the stance with your rear foint pointing forward, but the place where I'm going now (MMA/boxing/thai/kickboxing) taughts it with the rear foot pointing to the side. Never asked why (and I'm probably wrong), but I suspect it's easier for people to learn who wants to get later into other things that involve kicking.

Rationale posted:'re: foot placement. Boxing is all about footwork, yes I know is more fun to slug it out with someone instead of doing endless footwork drills, but building on that will make you a better boxer.

I've been out of boxing for a few years due to job-related issues and now I want to go back. It's going to be tough because nowadays my stamina is poo poo and my old gyms philosphy is sparring everyday. Also, my body has changed a bit, I'm 6'1" and back then I weighted 168 pounds whereas now I'm at 185, a lot of it from lifting. After getting back into form, I'd like to learn kickboxing or something related to it, but my flexibility has always been hosed up and I know I'll never be a good kicker.

Oh yeah, I can do one round or five, but I can't take their usual fourty-five minutes of sparring just yet because I have not done any meaningful amount of cardio for the last year because I'm a lazy fucker, don't mind me. Jokes aside, I love fighting, but I'm getting more worried as I'm getting older about long-term injuries, especially brain damage.

Yeah, the owner and another coach were former pros. Usually they are taught sepparately but sometimes there are joint classes. There's also another coach that teaches bjj and/or grappling. Fairly competitive joint, but has one of the nicest/chillest environments I've ever seen.

In my old judo gym, everyone aside from me and another dude weighted 200+ and the place turned into a sauna when sparring, so I'd say no, it won't matter much.

If I were to practice judo again, I wouldn't buy a white gi, they are a chore to keep clean and removing blood stains is a pain in the rear end.
