Broke both forearms on a steel post, a week and a half ago, and nearly got stabbed last night. It was the first time I have had a knife pulled on me. Been getting heaps of practice. If it keeps going at this rate, I will be sword fighting by next week.

I do think this situation can be a possibility to broaden our horizons especially with footwork drills and shadow boxing. I am talking about recreational training were most love to cut these drills short.
Well and there is the great possibility to build up your gas tank.
Not only go running but think it through what you train while running. I do prefer polarised training approach but there are several legit ways. In short do very slow long runs for aerobic cardio and then short anaerobic high power runs / intervalls to boost anaerobic tolerance. You want more upper body involvement go trail running with poles.
Sure you should not live in a city for that.
Were do you live? In a favela in Rio de Janeiro?

Small country town in Queensland, Australia... The elbows on the steel post is because I'm an idiot, the knife was because someone else was.I do think this situation can be a possibility to broaden our horizons especially with footwork drills and shadow boxing.

The whole situation sucks, but I'd say the main issue is getting partners amid this lockdown, not really getting pads. I've made a heavybag years ago (2008) by stuffing old clothes in an old hockey duffel bag, holds up pretty well.
Been thinking about making a sparbar out of PVC pipes

the homemade double end bag is for people that can't find a partner because it doesn't need a partner.
the other video is assuming you have someone living with you, that you can convince/wrangle into helping you like an SO or teenage child or similarly aged roommate.

The double end bag video was good. I should've clarified I meant the first one.
My gf doesn't train or really do anything athletic so getting her to hold pads is going to be an issue; There was a thread made by SamuraiSprit having that issue. So far I just work my BJJ on her in the fun place.
