basically, i drift away with my thoughts while working out, then i start doing pull ups and "pumping" my way through repetitions withouth taking care to descend and pull myself up without excessive, erratic motions
when my joints are most worn, I do isometric calisthenics
they are brutal but very easy on joints
if I had to boil it down to one sentence, the key to making calisthenics not gay is to do isometrics
holding half a push up for 5 minutes is infinity times harder than just doing 200 of them
and less taxing on joints
before retiring
my secret to developing self-confidence in combat
it really does approach weight lifting levels of hardassness if done right
strenghten your forearm !
yeah
I do grip exercises every pull day
what are you, military? MMA? boxing?
I'm sort of self-taught in boxing for years
boxing
Though I'm looking towards possibility of learning a proper martial technique
what does that mean
"proper martial technique"
Boxing is done within confined set of rules which are excellent to learn striking properly
But are not as applicable to real life as other techniques
on what basis do you believe that
Boxing has a strictly limited sense of blocking
Due to wearing large boxing gloves which aid in blocking strikes towards your face
IRL you have open fists
what was the worst you fucked someone up in boxing
I've never "fucked someone up" in my connotation of the phrase
because your thought process here is giving me doubts
I see
okay then
I mean... I don't know how to say it... you are aware, right, that gang bangers are hospitalizing and killing people regularly with no more than boxing and high school wrestling
just knowing basic western fight sports can literally make you a ghetto warlord
True that
but take into account
that anybody who has a really developed, powerful strike
Muay Thai and jewjitsu are a good combo
is a warlord for anybody without any practice
Agree with exi that boxing and wrestling are enough tho
because even the msot simple strike can be devastating to someone who is clueless in fighting
so basically you are going on the theory that somewhere some secret master exists who would kill all of detroit singlehandedly
