    How to get calves like boxers/thai boxers?

    Get a pair of minimalist shoes or at least something without the raised heel, it's not natural and takes away from working the calves and puts more wear on your joints and knees

    Southpaw problem

    feel like lomachenko would be a good fighter for you to watch....as he is a natural right hander who fights in a southpaw stance, so he uses his lead arm to do a ton of indredible stuff

    Dealing with Hooks

    So training at an MMA gym and my coach doesn't really like rolls as it leaves you open to knees and clinches. Unlike straights you cant really slip hooks, I can pull them ok, parry counters aren't too great off hooks for me either, as the parry motion brings your elbow up to your jaw and...

    Heavy Bag advice

    Not sure how the wooden frame i hang it from would hold up and I like a little bit of movement from the bag, so I have to keep up with the footwork. My only experience other than the thai bags at my gym is with a 70lb bag, so figured 80 would be a little better and ill probably use the anchor on...

    Running for mma

    People get joint pain from running because people run in these modern running shoes that have lifted heels...that's no good as landing on your heels creates lot of impact, because the heel has not give to it. So i go barefoot and put my treadmill on an incline so going up hill, this makes you...

    Shin guard recommendation plz

    Hey I'm looking for decent shin guards, ill spend what i need to as long as its not ridiculous. What I ideally want is a pair that protects my toes, so has a good foot flap but is also lightweight and doesn't shift around on my legs. I do mostly light sparring, and i don't want huge bulky shin...

    Video. Training my fast lead leg head kick

    The actual kick is really fast but the pendulum step up to kick seems kinda lazy, like your casually doing it then exploding into the kick.... I like how you throw the lead leg kick, I do the same thing, my coach doesn't like it tho, always wants me to do a full switch step for more power, but...

    Backhand in MMA

    I was curious what you guys think about this technique and why you don't see it much in the UFC. A lot of the pros from my gym like to throw a lead backhand after a lead hook, mostly if they miss with the hook. Guy I was sparring yesterday is 3-0 as a pro and has won 2 fights by TKO with this...
