It can determine so much
yea dude, you gotta fuckin move when fighting
Hell, they don't even focus on your stamina
MY footwork sucks tbh
Or strength
I'm talking things like stepping in and out, creating angles
i have trouble creating angles
I tend to go in there and brawl a bit
@Unknowncrash that's the thing if you swing your hips into your punch and use your whole weight you can throw a punch harder than someone much stronger than you who uses only arm strength
I'm heavier than I want to be, so I'm not that agile anymroe
@Reaper of course I know that shit, I do that to others ever since I was a child
I'm heavy on my feet
But strength traing helps
A fucking lot
@Unknowncrash yaya
yea i want to drop down to 155 again
I'm about 170-175 atm
i'm still pretty light on my feet and graceful but i can't fight for shit. Mostly just inexperienced.
If someone is throw a ton of punches and hitting me I tend to panic
The voice chats been a bit quiet lately hasn't it
takes me a while to warm up
@GingerSnaps it's a good idea to learn the basics
@4sakenm3ssiah i haven't been paying attention but i know i haven't been in there in a short.
@Reaper yeah, all this talk of boxing is making me think i should start there.
Boxing is a great place to start
and the Muy Thai leg kicks are easy to learn, plus they do a lot of damage
@GingerSnaps I am a huge advocate at starting with boxing cause you will learn practical knowledge day 1
I want to do boxing again
There's a really friendly and tolerant aikido academy in my area though so i was going to go with them. But i could liekly find the same thing in a boxing gym.
Boxing is quite common in the states, no?
I don't think aikido is that practical
it's common
we also have a lot of mcdojos too
@GingerSnaps if you want to do aikido do it, most boxing gyms are monthly, go to one for a month or two then switch
Martial arts in the 70s-80s used to be good, now it's about business and making money
student retention
easy black belts
when I did kempo there were some black belts I had no problem with when sparring I was a blue belt at the time
