    What do women look for in a gym?

    Why an eye patch? To draw attention or to look badass like Snake Pliskin? If I had the hair for that I'd do it!

    Punch Bag workout?

    Ever done 3x 3 minute rounds of punching a bag? Its about as exhausting as 3x 3minute rounds of skipping. Also you can feel your first/shin sinking into the bag it makes you wonder what that would do to a person. Remember you can use choose to focus on either speed or power on a bag. You may...

    [MartialArts] What style would you recommend

    Right and Righter! GKR have a lot to answer for with their money grabbing ways and sales pitches. Ive heard of people who "work" for their club being brought to the edge of suicide due to not being able to make a regular income for themselves and their families while their RM's (Regional...

    Nervous about joining the gym

    Wanna hear about a cheap gym? The Fit 4 All near me will let you have access to their weights area for $30 per month. Because its primarily a kickboxing gym (well it used to be) there is not much equipment and the free weights area is tiny, but your only going to get what you pay for. Good...

    [Boxing] muscles in a fight

    Fair point, however if you place your foot on the inside of his knee and push "down and outward" while you have hold of his head in a clinch or push his kneecap down into his sock hes not getting up anytime soon, and wont work or walk properly again without the help of an orthopedic surgeon...

    Funny stuff you have seen in the gym

    Well I didnt see this happen for myself but here it is... This guy I went to school with was talking away and I noticed he had damaged his front teeth. Not just little chips, these were big pieces missing that were very obvious. I asked him if he had been in a fight or something and he shook...

    How much do you pay...

    [Boxing] Is it possible to raise your pain threshold ?

    We do similar exercises in Kyokushin. Do you study Okinawan Goju Ryu or the Japanese Goju Kai? Also back onto pain threshold, the situation will make a difference - especially when adrenaline is released due to combat stress in reletion to fighting/competing/hard sparring. For example Ive seen...

    [MartialArts] What style would you recommend

    Remember, to understand a fighting style better, especially a more traditional style you have to understand the culture behind it rather than just the sport. Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Tai and Gung Fu (Kung Fu) originated in Asian countries. Most Asians are lighter, more nimble and much more...

    What do you think it is that gives some people really muscular forearms???

    My first post apart from my intro (sigh) I have "popeye" arms. I have to lift and carry for the majority of my working day. Good grip strength comes from strong forearms. Anybody who has worked a hands on type job such as a landscaper, bricklayer, mechanic etc for a few years will generally...
