Megan Castillo5 said:Alright gang, I have a somewhat silly question for you all, but I figured I’d ask the absolute experts here so I can play around with your advice... Since I apparently have way too much free time on my hands, a buddy of mine—who is just as deep into these weird niche worlds as I am—and I decided on this little plan...

1.) Tai Chi
2.) Gymnastics & Parkour
3.) Ninjutsu

So, we’re looking at 2 days of Tai Chi (Tuesday, Thursday), 2 days of Ninjutsu (Monday, Wednesday). We’ll probably take a rest day because we’ll be totally wiped out halfway through, so Saturday would be gymnastics, and Sunday would be a day out in the woods just tearing it up... aka Parkour.

Now, why this specific mix...

Tai Chi—mostly for that whole awareness aspect and trying to hit that elusive internal peace.
Gymnastics—because we really want to be able to stretch ourselves out like rubber bands.
Parkour—well, clearly we aren't too worried about our teeth, and honestly, we've basically been acting like monkeys, climbing and jumping on branches since we were kids, so...
Ninjutsu—even though the whole ninja thing doesn't actually attract us and isn't the end goal, it just feels like it would fit perfectly with this specific combination.

So? Is this ridiculous? I know it sounds crazy, but does anyone see a better combo? Lol. P.S. We did think about Krav Maga, but we're still total rookies at this, so we'd rather get some solid fundamentals down first... if we don't accidentally kill ourselves before then, Krav Maga is definitely on the list. 🙂

Thanks from the bottom of my stomach, rather than my heart, considering the mental anguish you all endured while reading this... 🙂
😂😂

Wushu pretty much covers all those skills you listed...

Once again, we're seeing Sanda fighters absolutely dominating the Muay Thai stylists in this latest showdown..

fight 1 – 60 kg

fight 2 – 65 kg

fight 3 – 70 kg

fight 4 – 75 kg

fight 5 – 80 kg

Here’s some action from traditional Chinese BV competitions

Linda Castillo94 said:I've been working out for about a year now, and I've stuck strictly to L-carnitine.
I know the difference between training with nothing in my system versus using L-carnitine. The results are definitely better when you use the supplement. That said, I don't think these things work the same way for everyone; for some people, there's zero difference, while for others, it makes all the difference.
I honestly can't tell how much MuscleTech is padding their sales numbers since the price for a box of ampoules is basically the same for both (though, okay, the pirouette version is slightly pricier). But the reason I actually started this thread is because the descriptions claim it has the same effect as L-carnitine, just with an extra kick to speed up metabolism—which is a massive need for me, since mine is painfully slow..

Try pairing L-carnitine with a fat burner! It helps transport those free fatty acids so your body can actually burn them for fuel. Of course, that assumes you're actually hitting the gym daily and eating right. If you want to go all out, you could also toss in some immune support—like royal jelly or bee pollen—along with some Omega 3..😉

They even have stuff at the Sirion Center, right near Kvatrić! I'm pretty sure Miklec runs some classes there too..

jadejackal41 said:rowdyscout33, do you actually train there?
I'm curious what the students think—I know it's all subjective, but still...
Thanks for getting back to me!

I do, and I feel great!🙏 Honestly, you should just come down and try it yourself; it won't cost you a dime!😉

Chloe Wells23 said:IT'S PRETTY MUCH LIKE TAI CHI,

I've also heard about Nikolas (just Google him)

Does anyone have experience learning from Nikolas?

The location doesn't work for me (too much nonsense near my job, but if it were more on my way, I probably would've gone to try it by now)

Look, if you really wanted this, it shouldn't be that hard to get there, wherever it may be!😉

Clearly, you aren't that interested...🙂

rustygull7 said:What is it actually? Something like yoga?

It’s basically exercises rooted in traditional Chinese medicine—think of it as "moving yoga." It uses specific postures and movements paired with deep abdominal breathing. The goal is to focus the practitioner's concentration on the flow of energy, or chi, through the body's centers. It balances everything out and boosts your energy, which supposedly does wonders for your physical and mental health...
