God drat I guess I didn't bookmark this new thread so I've been absent for a month. Hello everyone. Life is going a lot better since I quit my volunteer position at the local amateur boxing association but I am still living the lard life. Anyway here's what I came to post and had to find the thread again: Boxing Canada's head physician put together a presentation on weight cutting

Omglosser posted:Dammit that'she not why I came here. Ok so what are the striking pads called that you wrap around a support beam or pillar? I thought 'pole bag' was it but apparently that's just a really tall heavy bag? It's a tricky thing to google, or no such thing exists and you just have to improvise your own. I dunno but I think this is what you're talking about : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKcsbi1_iHQ

The Darlok posted:Eli got a real lovely deal though. His opponent came out throwing a flurry of not very clean looking punches and Eli got clipped by one, he fell to like a knee and started getting back up and the ref just stepped in and waved it off. The commission people apparently told the ref they were ok with restarting the fight but the ref wasn't having it and called it a KO. Is this still amateur because if a guy got dropped like that I'd have no problem with the ref stopping it

willie_dee posted:I legit don't see how you can take amateur fights without being on steroids if the USA scene is anything like the C league here in the UK. Everyone is on them, so the logic is that your opponent will be, so there's no harm in you being on them. I boxed without being on steroids. You think everyone is on steroids because you're on steroids and you need to justify yourself in your own brain. You're not cheating, everyone is doing it. Odddzy posted:God you're insufferable.

willie_dee posted:I don't compete? Then don't say poo poo like "I don't see how someone could compete without being on steroids"!!! It is stupid as gently caress and you don't justify it when you clarify with "oh but I don't compete". I've followed your posts for years so I know you're not a bad person, I believe you meant this as a badly phrased compliment, but I think you should never mention steroids here again.

No, MB. Not very involved with amateur boxing right now because I got burned out pretty bad with my board position. Watching the AIBA shake up right now, heard a rumour Pat Fiacco might end up as new pres of AIBA.

Nope, need to figure something out. My coach closed his gym and I bought a monthly pass at the new club he's coaching at, and went once. Just bought a house and have spent the past month moving. Thinking of hanging a heavy bag out in the workshop. Actually considering signing up for a newbie jits program run by a friend's club, 2x a week for August. I should get on that.

Mr Interweb posted:Well, good news is I got a new job and my elbow's nearly recovered. So I was planning on getting back in the game. We're gonna start sparring soon I figure, so I was hoping to get some advice on how to calm my nerves on account of being a big ole' pussy all my life. The nervousness can't really be avoided. It took me 3-4 months after getting my athlete registration to get in the ring for sparring, just because of nerves. One thing that kinda works is channeling the nervousness into another emotion, this article describes a technique where you turn it into excitement ("proven effective in a variety of studies and settings") but I've also found I can turn it into anger.. which probably isn't healthy but helps me not to be nervous. Then trust your coach. This kinda depends on having a good coach but mine eased me into sparring instead of throwing me to the wolves.

Anyone else had the facebook post from a friend that is like "my partner and I want to start a martial art, suggestions please!!" and you and a bunch of knowledgeable people say boxing or kickboxing for striking, BJJ for grappling and then the person does a followup post saying "we're looking at aikido or krav maga! thanks everybody!!"

Juanito posted:Last night during sparring, one guy got kicked hard in the nuts and was down for awhile. The instructor recommended we get groin protectors, I think only two in the class had them. Any recommendations/advice? I've never worn something like this, and have no clue what I need. It seems super uncomfortable, but less painful than a kick to the balls, I guess. Ideally I could get something that would be easy to put on, only when we were going to spar. Either get a normal everyday jock strap or get a full blown groin protector, there is no in between

Siivola posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYl1kL9_jQ They're reinventing boxing. Stance is slightly different but the parries are straight from boxing. The "line of power" crap is an explanation you give to newbies so that they don't throw arm punches, not some rediscovered technique from the 1870s. Train your footwork so that you never cross your legs like this:  e: also the reason we throw punches with thumbs down is because it naturally raises the shoulder to protect the chin which is important regardless of gloves/bareknuckle

old.flv posted:you asked how wing chun was and after being told it was terrible and what alternatives there were you're going to sign up for wing chun anyway These type of people are new to their sport and would like to discuss it with fellow goons. They seek out the closest thread and post "hey I'm going to be starting at the mystical ninjitsu studio on saturday, any advice?" and the advice is entirely "DO NOT GO THERE. YOU ARE AN IDIOT." and they say "Well, the criticism wasn't constructive so I'll go check it out and see what it's like!!" I'd like to call it confirmation bias but I honestly don't know what's going on here.
