    Biggest game changers to your training?

    I have been training for 25 years now and I have several real nexus moments which changed my whole approach to my training: 1) When I first started, I had the bad habit of turning my back when I was getting pressured hard. About 6 months in to training, I had an instructor drill this habit out...

    Some nice solo workouts for rona times?

    Try the Rocky workout. Put on any Rocky movie (except Rocky 5) and only play the training scenes and the fights Do everything Rocky does at max speed.

    Why does this happen sometimes when i hit the heavybag?

    With all due respect, you stab through and then retract straight back out on most types of hooks. When you slash through, you loose power as it slides off the bag, as well as being vulnerable after the hook is thrown to a counter punch.

    Why does this happen sometimes when i hit the heavybag?

    Why does this happen sometimes when i hit the heavybag?

    You can hit the heavy bag bare fisted without grazing your knuckles if your technique is clean. The fact that it is only his middle knuckle means that he is actually hitting the bag well, but he is likely sliding across the bag on his retraction. Probably dropping the fist on the way back to...

    Is Melvin Manheof the hardest kicker of all time?

    Manhoeff seemed to be one of those fighters who seemed to have ungodly power but for whatever reason, didn't get the knock outs to substantiate that power. Pat Barry was another one like this.

    Is anyone here a "square on" boxer?

    A squarish stance allows more seamless switch-hitting too.

    thigh teep

    It can be thrown to the front of the hip without the risk of injuring knees. You still get that interruption of your opponent's attacks, and you can sometimes spin them off their line if they were halfway through the kick when you teep their hip.

    Is this MMA guy really throwing decent muay thai kicks on the bag?

    I don't think so. Turning the hip over is how you push your body weight through the target. He turns the hip over at just the right time too.

    "BJJ instructors putting on Muay Thai shorts and teaching classes" -charletanism in todays MMA scene

    I guess that it is easier for a grappler to pretend being a striker than a striker pretend to be a grappler.
