Goons, I'm a baby and my shins really hurt from kicking the bag after one week of kickboxing. Am I supposed to not kick the bag as hard as I can, or is this just pain and my shins aren't actually damaged so I should continue kicking the bag? That and my wrists kind of feel weak from punching the bag.

I have the gel wraps and they add padding but no support whatsoever. For bag work they're not helpful imo.

I've started wearing ear protectors when rolling but we were doing drills tonight and I realized it was getting sore from that too. Going to look like pussy wearing ear protectors for drills.. I think the dudes wearing ear protectors at my gym look badass. Like they are geared up for real business.

Goons, how do boxing gyms without classes work? The MMA gym where I went to striking classes near me closed. Theres some boxing gyms in the area where its cheap to sign up but theres no classes, seems you have to pay for personal training from one of the fighters or coaches (or figure out workouts on your own). Anyone have experience with these types of gyms that you can describe your routine there?

I think it depends a lot on area and art. Around here, 125 to 200 gets you unlimited classes for mma or bjj. 30 to 50 gets you in the door at a boxing gym, but then classes are usually 20 each.

one reason that many noobs are out of breath when doing martial arts is that they forgot to Breathe. make sure to breathe

Morter posted:So one concept about what I'm learning (Wing Chun) is about keeping light on your feet, so we bounce on our toes for a couple minutes at a time. It makes my shins ache if I do this for more than 30 seconds, whether in the school mat or at home on my semi-thick carpet. I can certainly walk for extended periods of time and even run a little without this pain happening at all, and it's not a high impact jump or hop. Edit for clarity: Nothing I do in my daily life generates this pain other than me hopping on my toes. Is there any reason for this other than me being overweight (5'8", 235 as of now)? Is there anything I can work on besides my gut to make this more tolerable? IME shin pain doesnt get better if you keep doing the same thing, take a break from whatever is giving you shin pain and build back up slow If it is a dull pain maybe its just regular muscle soreness and youre fine. But if you are experiencing any kind of sharp pain on landing you should stop Im not sure why people get shin pain but ive seen it in even fit people doing just a small amount of e.g. running. And if you try to run through it, its not gonna get better

I like my Hayabusas because the second wrist strap makes my wrist feel way more secure, it made a big difference for me I don't like the cloth sweat-wipe thumb pad though on mine (I think i have the T3?). Its not very effective at actually wiping away sweat, yet it absorbs stuff so I got to clean it. I would get the hayabusa model one step dowm that still has the doubel wrist strap but no fiber thumb if I was buying again.

Hollandia posted:The P4 has the thumb thing and only one wrist strap. The t3 definitely has the microfber thumb unless youre looking at the leather one The h5 has the double wrist strap also for less $$ than the t3 Either way the t3 is too mucch, go for the h5 at the most

Anyone got good recommendations for boxing shoes, preferably low cut? I been wearing some merrell vapor gloves and looking at the bearfoot ursus since I like quite low cut shoes, but thinking about actual boxing shoes too. Even then the low cut boxing shoes still look kind of high to me and Im worried Ill get blisters or chafing with my regular athletic socks (ankle socks)

Imo try out a few gyms with different martial arts and see what you enjoy (and which place you vibe with). MMA gyms usually have both grappling and striking and sometimes combo classes.
