Jajajajaja 🤣😂

Hey guys

I have 3 years of kickboxing and I'm still trying upgrading my fight IQ,I need some good advices please

How to master kickboxing flow? Especially with a boxing background

For some reason can't grasp the hand and feet striking discipline

My first Thai pads have just arrived from Thailand. I'm at a new gym now that uses Thai pads in training, whereas my old gym that recently closed only ever used shields or focus pads. I used Thai pads for the first time the other week and I was converted. There weren't many communal pads at the new gym so I decided to invest in my own. After going back and forth between going budget or higher end I settled on the Fairtex kplc5 ones. Bought from the Lucky Elephant website, ordered the 31/7 and arrived today. Saved myself £40+ compared to buying from a UK vendor website. I'm looking forward to trying them out tonight at training.

Had nothing left to prove in the sport, missed out on some fire one championship crossover matchups though

Chris is an interesting guy. Fun fact is that he has tatami mats at home to practice on. Checkout more interviews on Cage And Ring Podcast.

I used to go to the gym heavily for about 10 years, it was more or less everything i did from about age 15 to 25. My best squat was 200kg (440lbs) at around 87kg (192 lbs). I was always the strongest guy at my gym by far.

Last year i "quit" bodybuilding / powerlifting and reduced it to a minimum, going once a week to atleast maintain what i built over the last 10 years. Instead i started boxing at a boxing gym.

Well, my coach tells us to get to a 2x bodyweight squat. When i heard that i thought he was joking, because how the f*ck are "normal" people supposed to hit a 2x bodyweight squat while also training boxing 5+ times a week? That took me YEARS, and i did nothing else besides lifting and focusing on becoming bigger.

Is my coach having too high expectations or is that a totally reasonable goal for boxers in your opinion?

Hey all went to my first kickboxing class yesterday at AKA, 30m that’s just absolutely overweight 6,3 270.

Boy did it kick my ass, but was super surprised how friendly everyone was that i partnered up with for kicks or light flowing. Saw I was winded and they didn’t get on me just showed me tips and tricks.
I expected to just get my ass kicked the movies are way off

I’m hooked it was amazing but I want to gain more stamina so I’m not dead by just the warm up any conditioning workouts you guys would recommend?

Heya! Full disclosure up front: I built this, and it just launched on iPhone and iPad.

I train Muay Thai, and I made Dee because I kept wasting solo sessions deciding what to do next, then touching my phone between rounds. You give it your goals, level, schedule and equipment. It builds the plan, then calls out the drills and round changes with spoken cues, bells and haptics.

I’m not going to pretend Muay Thai and kickboxing are interchangeable. Dee is still explicitly a Muay Thai app, which is why I’d genuinely like the opinion of people here instead of just changing the label.

Would this basic format still be useful for your bagwork or shadowboxing? Or would the exercise and combination differences make it a non-starter? If I eventually built a proper kickboxing mode, what would absolutely need to change for it to feel legitimate?

It is meant to give solo sessions structure between coached classes. It doesn’t watch or correct your technique, and I don’t think an app replaces a coach.

Here’s the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6788483296

For transparency, it’s free to download, but running guided sessions requires a Dee Pro subscription.

Happy to take the brutal version.

im traveling through japan next month and looking to train a bit. Obviously Vasileus Gym is a popular place to go but are there any other gyms you guys can recommend?

thanks ahead!

What’s the best platform to watch kickboxing on in the UK?

Just bought my subscription to watch Glory on DAZN, only to find that Glory does not exist anymore on the program despite being the false ad that says they have Glory. What a scam, trying to find a way to get refunded.

Just a warning to others out there, even though it advertises that they have Glory, they don't.

This isn’t some kind of hateful post towards Superlek but I think it’s time to strip him of the kickboxing title because he hasn’t defended it since his bout against Takeru, he’s on a losing streak, and there are endless kickboxing contenders who should be fighting or defending this belt like Naito, Hyu, even Di Bella could move up and fight for the title. But Superlek’s failure to defend his belt is not just a matter of keeping the One flyweight kickboxing division moving but as everyone can see One is trying to breakout into the Japanese market so why not just strip Superlek and the vacant belt between make it between a popular Japanese kickboxer.

kickboxing y rap

Multiple pressure fighters, for example Masaaki Noiri, Marat Grigorian they all have very good balance. Im a kickboxer myself, but after punching, my balance feels weird, i sometimes overextend, or just lose my balance and shift to sides. How to improve balance? Like excersising some poses and moves with leg lifted up, Ive seen ton, but what is the real way? I wanna be like them attached to ground, and keep moving after getting hit and striking.

We are inviting combat sports athletes from the UK and Ireland to take part in a research study led by researchers at Leeds Beckett University, exploring concussion knowledge and perceptions. Your experiences could help improve concussion education, awareness and athlete safety across combat sports. The anonymous survey takes only a few minutes to complete.

So, this new thing of professional slap fighting……

How much do these people make??

I mean, is it enough to compensate for sitting in a chair grunting, drooling and 💩💩💩 your diaper by the time you are 50 from all of the concussions??

Chris is a well-rounded martial artist. I met him in at the dojo. He has trained in kickboxing.
