ye its based my absolute favorite thing to do at the gym atm, i like it more than lifting itself. im just so fricking bad at it and having trouble learning by myself, i should take a video to see the obvious flaws, footwork, how to hit clean etc.
You can't self-teach boxing, it's too technical.
I used to go to a gym that had these and pictures of Muhammad Ali on the walls. I used to see this guy hitting bags and he would drop his hands on the way back to guard after a punch, something I was taught not to do within a month or two of MMA classes. I later found out he was a boxing instructor.
tbh it's quite likely that he is aware. He's hitting a bag not sparring
WHOA hold UP. NEVER SELF-LEARN boxing it's fricking hard and even if you do learn things you'll develop bad habits please join a boxing gym or find a coach, martial arts are not simple
the duality of man
moronic take, boxing for cardio requires no training
get into a boxing gym. You cant self teach yourself a martial art
watch baki bro
Watching people with no experience in boxing use one of these is one of my favourite things to do at the gym. It looks absolutely awful and brilliant at the same time.
I mean the brain damage part turns me off. Is there a way to do it safely while incorporating it into my workout? Boxing seems like a great way to train the body for Agility, Endurance and Explosive strength. Is there a way to do it safely?
>Is there a way to do it safely
Don't do competitions. If you get hit in the head hard enough to suffer brain damage while sparring, it's time to find a different gym. Sparring should be intense, but not result in knockouts.
I prefer kickboxing myself. You get to work on your leg flexibility while you're at it.
You won't get brain damage unless you're a professional fighter and getting concussed every fight while fighting through the concussion.
>You won't get brain damage unless you're a professional fighter and getting concussed every fight while fighting through the concussion.
Are you brain damaged or moronic?
u must be
Researchers have found that it's not really the professional fights that result in long-term brain damage but it's the sub-concussive hits that are taken regularly and often in sparring.
Just do boxing and conditioning training without sparring then. Heavy bag work, footwork drills, jogging, skipping rope etc
>get a heavy bag
>get heavy gloves
>get tapes, watch a YT on how to tape your hands properly
>watch a few YT tutorials on how to hold a proper stance and how to execute basic punches (jab, straight, uppercut, hook)
>watch some heavy bag drills, combinations
>try to do them by yourself, might record yourself and look for form issues
>go reasonably intense, so you get your cardio as well
this way you can reap most of the benefits a bad-mediocre gym for adults would grant you and spare a shitload of money and time
you'll get fitter and will be able to attack someone with a fast combination
no one gives a SHIT about you in a crowded gym, you basically try mimic others and maybe get some half assed tip once a week and do some half-assed sparring once a month
I'll get a lot of shit for it, but I've been doing boxing for years, have seen a lot of gyms and figured if someone just wants better at punching, he doesn't necessarily need muh gym and all that bullshit that comes with it. I'm tired of all the elitists who claim you can't do anything without a coach and a gym. You won't become a boxer by yourself, that's absolutely true, but you can still do punching workouts and make a shitload of progress this way.
Don't be scared of trying, (even though I'm sure an army of screechers will come to deboonk me right away), just don't punch a heavy bag as hard as you can with bare hands and you should be fine.
You will never be a real boxer. You have no coaching, you have no sparring experience, you have traded no blows. You are a homosexual man twisted by instructional videos and how-to's into a crude mockery of the ring’s perfection.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish technique behind closed showercurtains.
Martial artists are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of hours of sparring have allowed men to sniff out hometrainees with incredible efficiency. Even self-learneds who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a boxer. Your posture is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a hit in, he’ll tank it and clock you the second he gets a whiff of your self-taught guard.
You will never be happy. You wrench out a shit hook every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be hit, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to knock you out under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a skiprope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and hit your shins trying to doublejump. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll toss out your boxing bag, and the garbageman for the rest of eternity will know a homosexual tried to teach himself a sparring sport. Your gloves will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is an unused mouthguard.
Dont practice with other people, only you and the bag.
You can never trust people with sparring. One guy at my gym got his nose REKT because his moronic sparrint partner wanted to look badass in front of the big titty gym doll
yeah dont spar hard. dont pick a moron as a sparring partner.
Yhis applies to grappling as well though it is more important for boxing for obvious reasons
NGMI. I suggest you keep taking advice from your mom. Wear sandals in the shower, skateboard with a helmet, get your booster.
But you should shower with sandals in public showers and you should wear a helmet when biking or skating
> destroys ur shoulders and neck instead
I've started training on the heavy bag but my arms give out way before my lungs do. You know when you hold something above your head for a long time. It feels like that and I can no longer keep my guard up but I'm not even breathing heavy or heart racing.
Will this get better with time?
It should although I never had that problem due to shitty cardio. Maybe try wrist weights. When your muscles adapt to punching with added weight, training without them will feel easier. Start with the lightest you can (like 0.5 kg per hand) so you don't frick your rotator cuffs.
Yeah feel the same, shoulders especially start burning up hard. Saw a guy do some kinda lunges with kettlebells over his head. Maybe look into exercises like that
if you dont go to a boxing gym, its probably both bad form and lack of conditioning, if you have good technique then just condition more, just do entire rounds of only fast jabs while circling, alternating to southpaw for jabs with the right
>kills your shoulders and the recovery could take up to one year
i stick to running
>solves cardio without destroying your knees
By destroying your face, nose, neck, shoulders, wrists, etc...
>hitting the bag destroy your face, nose, neck, shoulders, wrists ...
what the frick anon? are you moronic?
Oops, my bad. I was talking about the kind of bags that hit back.
DONT FRICK WITH ME ANON, ACCEPT THE FACT YOU WERE WRONG AND THAT I REPLIED WITH A PERFECT RESPONSE
been a little since ive had a bangs. maybe i should go to the store and grab one for my lunch tomorrow.
>He's not wailing on the bag with literally every part of his body
NGMI
Ok ignore all the sprained wrists from bags alone
running doesn't destroy your knees or feet then
Is the FightCamp setup a meme or worth the $?
If I just want to punch a bag will that frick up my muscle memory for boxing should I want to go that route later?
Yes
You're 3 months in lol calm down, did you ever get that good at anything in 3 months? It's good enough if you know what to work on
I’m paranoid that I’m having a vegeta moment cause there’s a 1 or 2 dudes who are new to my gym as well and they are naturals with this shit, I’m paranoid that I’m not improving fast enough like them or something. I will remember your words though, they help.
There's probably people who look at you the same way, don't compare your progress to other people it literally hinders you
Any boxers here? I’m coming up on 3 months, I’m hitting that point where I’m getting frustrated with my difficulty in maintaining the basics. I WILL FRICKING HOLD OUT AND CONTINUE BOXING but damn I suck at this. Everything just falls apart when I throw a combo, my footwork on an approaching jab cross left hook is a mess. I have ADHD and don’t learn shit easily, and my full work day goes from 3:30AM to 3:30PM so finding the energy to go is hard.
how hard can it be to throw a punch at someone
3 months is nothing dude
keep at it
that never really goes away. That's the beauty of boxing, you can always do the basics better. Try to concentrate on whatever your biggest weakness is, eventually you'll get so practised at it that you can do it without thinking and move onto something else.
post gloves
i can personally confirm these gloves are great for handling big, droopy ballsacks that have the maximum dangle
I don't box anymore, but here you go.
I always wanted to buy a pair of cletos, but I could never justify spending 2 bills on them
Why would I want to relieve rage? I want more anger
