First you gotta decide if you want BS or BV, 'cause from where I'm sitting, looks like you're more into the BS (all that constant grinding)... 🤷

Steven Moore7 said:So, I’ve been thinking about picking up kickboxing lately—my cardio is basically non-existent at this point, haha.
Does anyone know if there's a decent club around the hills area?

You've got Marjan and Pit Bull over by the grips, and maybe something near Mertojak, but honestly, nothing's gonna be closer than that... 🙂

If the doc says you need surgery, just go for it... especially since you've been dealing with this pain for forever...😲

Man, he's definitely not ready for this... it's gonna take everything he's got... 🙂

hahahaha Sam Roberts, you should just change your name to Rjechito.. 😛

Nice way to tell the guy he needs bandages, gloves, and maybe some braces... suggest a local gym if there's one nearby too... honestly, I think a slap in the face would've worked better... 😍

wearyrider65, where you from?

Zachary Mendoza17 said:That’s true. Using the technique I mentioned before, you really ought to improvise with a lunge or perhaps a lead jab to create space, making that rear punch much firmer. Basically, I wasn't just talking about hitting from a stationary stance. You adapt the technique to the ball and the available room. But honestly, how can one explain how to strike the ball without wrecking your own hand? 🤷 🙄

p.s. By the way, the record on this forum belongs to Daniel Garcia. He didn't just hit it; he practically dismantled it and consumed it. Right there in front of a horrified crowd and a bunch of little kids.

That was me saying... ☕ Did any of you guys give him tips on his hand positioning too... 🙂 And then Dragonfly went ahead and thought you guys were all set... now you're stuck with a massive red mark on her record... 😛

🤣 🤣 🤣

Honestly, if you lead with a kick, it just feels a little amateur to me... 🤷 One way it actually works is firing a front jab into thin air first to get that footwork moving, which lets you really load up the rotation for a much heavier rear cross...

Most people breaking records on those machines usually come from some kind of combat sports background...

Tyler Ross86 said:Sprained my knuckle.

I mean, what can I even say? Total stupidity on my part— 🙄 I went ham on one of those boxing machines you see hanging out in dive bars, thinking I was actually gonna chase down some record... but right after the first hit (which was my first time ever using one), my knuckle started throbbing. Instead of being smart about it, I went ahead and smashed it two more times with everything I had 🙄 (obviously, the scores on the next two were trash. For context, the first hit clocked in at 185, while the record was sitting at 192)

The next day was absolute hell, probably when it hurt the most. Since the third day, it’s been a week, and honestly? It feels pretty much the same as it did back then. I’m just not seeing any real improvement here.

It doesn't kill me during normal daily stuff, but if I put any actual weight on it—like doing pushups or trying to stretch the joint—the pain comes rushing back. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of nonsense? How long does this usually take to clear up?

First hit in life, then you go full boxing mode. Equipment? First, you need a man... 😬
Don't go pushing that wrist too hard, or at least throw some wraps on it until it heals... what else is there to say...

Keith Gray2 said:RKC Kettlebell seminar in Los Angeles

The Krav Maga and Kettlebell Center Los Angeles is hosting a kettlebell seminar this Saturday, November 26, 2011. It runs from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the arena near the Sports Center on Ljudevita Jonkea Street. This session focuses on conditioning specifically for martial arts. We’ll be diving into drills and protocols designed to boost functional and motor skills for everyone—from pro athletes to weekend warriors. The seminar is led by top-tier RKC instructor Sasha Rajnovic and Prof. Sasha Habuzin. If you want in, just shoot us an email at info@krav-maga.hr or hit up Marijan at 091 580 51 60 or Hrvoje at 091 3333 003.

That belongs on the bulletin board!

Quick question, anyone know the best spot to grab some wrestling shoes? Maybe online or a local shop in LA or around there?...

Larry Hayes said:Women feel pain too... 😉

It’s like if your foot’s only 6 inches wide and it just drops in, you know... 😁

I’ll just say it: they can take their boxing builds and those annoying faces and shove 'em...

Man, I really hope we see a fresh wave of heavyweights with some actual heart in the next few years. It’d be nice to actually watch the division again and not know what's coming. Fingers crossed...

I wish I could send that thought straight to heaven via email! 🙏 🙏 🙏

Am I really the only one who noticed he her suggested using a genital protector? 😲 😁

Sam Roberts said:Everyone kept telling me I had to watch Gladiator and Morbius...

hahahaha... I still haven't figured out who's who among you three... xD
sorry, all four of you (Daniel Garcia too)... 😁

Benjamin Taylor4 said:Michael Evans46, thanks for the reply 😉
I know someone would probably suggest a "lighter" sport, but I really want an actual combat skill to deal with all the stress I'm carrying—it feels like the better fit. I just hope those Krav Maga centers group people by strength level, because I’d rather not get bodied by some powerhouse lady during my very first session.😲

lol... 😁 If you're looking for self-defense, you could go with Krav Maga, some kind of system, Jiu-Jitsu, or even JKD...
Oh, and one more thing... stop stressing about what people are gonna think when they see you at the gym... 🙂

Better to look unsexy while hitting the gym than looking like a mess out on the town... 😁

Daniel Garcia said:Man, wrestling is an incredible sport—seriously a killer workout.👍 It’s such a shame people sleep on it. Honestly, my biggest life regret is not starting wrestling or judo when I was a kid—my folks thought it was just "meathead stuff"—so I wasted so much time on Shotokan karate and Taekwondo instead... 😢

I'm definitely starting wrestling in about 10 months... 🙂 Just wondering if you guys recommend ear guards? Don't want to end up with cauliflower ears from sparring too early... :S

Daniel Garcia said:http://www.fitnesskreator.com/blog/tag/kondicija/
Sure, go hit up some local MMA gym and then come back and tell me how much better it is than running or whatever... if you really want to be that wrong.🙂

Maybe I'll try wrestling instead, hopefully... 😁

Daniel Garcia said:Just try both—then you'll see they're both exhausting, just in different ways.
As for that last bit, here's an example 🤦. Wrestling is basically all anaerobic training. ☕

Of course it’s exhausting, man. Every martial art wears you down differently...
I don't think you get what I'm saying... anaerobic conditioning is nothing compared to aerobic, which is what people actually mean when they talk about being fit... 😛
