Planning on the gloves. "Toughening up" ones hands is not worth a lifetime of pain and easy re injuries.

2018-07-10 17:31:59 UTC  

The first thing people break in a fight is their hands.

2018-07-10 17:33:02 UTC  

Also, as I mentioned, I'm not going 100%, am painfree, and have been doing this for about a year now.

2018-07-10 17:34:08 UTC  

šŸ™„ Do what you will though

2018-07-10 17:37:02 UTC  

@Deleted User How hard did you used to go on bag work?

2018-07-10 17:37:45 UTC  

I'm not trying to second guess you or your experience, just adding my own.

2018-07-10 18:02:55 UTC  

@Deleted User not overly hard, but Iā€™ve probably done it for a much longer time than you have. That said, my hands were hurting in maybe my second or third year

2018-07-12 02:33:53 UTC  

@Svat - NY @Deleted User Agreed.

I fractured my right pinky in sparring while wearing MMA gloves.

My pinky is now crooked and my knuckle is double the size of the others from the calcium deposit.

You don't want crooked fingers! Wear bag gloves! šŸ˜‰

2018-07-14 21:02:51 UTC  

Yeah I agree with @Tyler0317 definitely get bag gloves I use 16oz and double wrap my hands. And when sparring I use 12oz. Ringside are well made gloves but pricey.

2018-07-14 21:03:07 UTC  

Most important is to wrap your hands right

2018-07-14 21:03:33 UTC  

I didn't for the first years I got into it and today I can feel it

2018-07-14 22:03:32 UTC  

When teaching others I point out that 'Humans aren't built to punch'.

If we were, we'd have bony clubs for hands. Our hands are relatively brittle, and comprised of ~20 small bones.

Our hands are built for dexterity, for fine motor skills, for grasping.

While striking can be effective, precautions must be taken.

Try hard status.

2018-08-09 01:36:11 UTC  

Grats Sam! I know how good that feels man. Keep at it!

2018-08-09 06:13:24 UTC  

Nice!

2018-08-15 22:06:35 UTC  

Anyone here familiar with Zendo-Kai?

2018-08-18 01:34:30 UTC  

@Whitelash Is it related to the glorious Rex Kwon Do?

2018-08-18 05:56:57 UTC  

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m afraid of. Its the only ā€œcombat sportsā€ in my local area

2018-08-18 11:02:09 UTC  

@Whitelash It's worth checking out. Worst case is you waste a couple hours and don't go back.

2018-08-18 15:17:17 UTC  

Something is better than nothing. You should always pick the place that's easiest to form a habit of going to. Too many people focus really hard on the style of martial art, when the reality is knowing and training any martial art puts you above someone who has never trained. Check it out, it looks legit from what I read

All kidding aside, there is value to be had is something as bland as tai chi.

Anything that gets you up and moving, makes you accustomed to using your body and gives you confidence is beneficial.@Whitelash

Would anybody be interested in getting patches to put on a gi with this logo?

2018-09-01 15:14:44 UTC

2018-09-11 18:56:43 UTC

2018-09-11 18:56:45 UTC

2018-09-11 18:57:09 UTC  

Hahaha

2018-09-11 18:57:30 UTC  

Hahahah

2018-09-11 18:58:20 UTC  

The guy on ground mustā€™ve gone into the guard when that kid likely fell on him because that looked like a hard hit

2018-10-07 18:20:25 UTC
