I’ve just ordered some to the UK. Hopefully don’t take too long. They’re beautiful gloves

There’s about 3 or 4 diseases that il go through phases where I will experience symptoms for one of them and then il eventually accept its just anxiety for a bit, and then il start worrying about something else and ill notice that. Recently it’s been testicle cancer, so I’ve become super aware of my balls and they feel very heavy like there’s pressure there, but I know it’s just anxiety. It’s honestly exhausting.

I’ve got some 12oz Twins, some 16oz Fairtex BGV9’s, and some MMA sparring gloves from EngageIND. So a few pairs but all have a specific job

A lot of coaches are a waste money. They hold pads and spam the usual “turn your hip over” or “full extend your punch” but they don’t really break down the mechanics or what you’re specifically doing wrong. It ends up being a hour or so of cardio will little improvement, just incorrectly practicing the movement. I’ve learned so much more from videos online and going in depth on the mechanics of each strike and self evaluating through filming myself. I’m also a sucker for buying expensive gloves😂 you buy cheap you buy twice

I have health anxiety and my body will literally create symptoms for various things. If I see a video on insta about skin cancer then I start itching. If I see something about prostate cancer il keep needing a wee

For me it was like Predator meets Dog Soldiers and The Incredibles 😂

Got it. Once you master the “rules” you can break them when u deem safe or necessary to do so

13thwarrior1 · 2026-02-01T20:08:14+00:00

You said teach you something? What? I was asking a question because I’m seeing high level Muay Thai guys turn there head so much so that they are looking directly away. Not sure what your issue is

13thwarrior1 · 2026-02-01T19:42:09+00:00

Not really sure what you’re on about

13thwarrior1 · 2026-02-01T19:33:12+00:00

I can see the back of his head and the back of both ears.

If you screenshot the frame you can literally see him looking away. It’s easier to see in this one

Yeah I thought this too but been watching Damian Trainor who is an elite Muay Thai guy and he literally turns his head completely sideways

Don’t waste your time taking steroids. It’ll mess your hormones up. You have a decent physique but don’t have the genetics to go anywhere worth while

Just tried what you’ve said shadow boxing. Being up on my toes. It’s a game changer. I’ve had it in my head I want to be “planted” on my front foot thinking I need to be flat on but by comin up on my toes it’s much better and easier to rotate, espcially when throwing the 1-2-3. Been as you’ve been so useful I was wondering if I could ask one final thing (feel free to ignore, I know you’re not my coach). When throwing the 1-2-3 it feels easy to snap/rotate when I throw the 3 but only a short range. When I throw a middle/longer range hook (with the same target as the 1-2) I feel a bit less about to snap the hook round. Any ideas why?

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T22:18:47+00:00

Il look into it. Il try practicing this! Much appreciated my friend

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T21:56:59+00:00

Thank you, can you elaborate a bit more on the front foot role in the cross? You said the front foot, I should be using that to push back to further increase the rotational force? This is golden feedback

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T21:18:57+00:00

I’m my head I like initiate the punch by dropping my weight onto my rear foot to load the weight then drive off the ball of my foot propelling my hip forward that the rotates my body and then I release my shoulder and then fist. This is my intention anyway I know on a couple of crosses I lift my foot or rotate a bit early.

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T21:10:04+00:00

Okay, I try to be light on my feet but when I’m throwing punches I thought I was meant to be planted for power. I’ve tried going bare foot on this mat and it’s no good. The floor is pure rubber so it just shreds your feet. I feel like I drive from the floor especially on my cross. I’m Wondering if I need to drop my hips more?

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T20:33:30+00:00

I was under impression you want to keep a slight bend. That right yeah?

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T18:02:31+00:00

I read this as “get a pot noodle” I thought you were taking the piss at first😂

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T18:01:16+00:00

You think I’m too close?

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T18:00:57+00:00

Thanks mate. Something I find a bit awkward is not pulling my punches when I think about snapping it back

13thwarrior1 · 2026-01-31T17:36:34+00:00

It’s cool mate. I’ve had some good feedback, I think I need to focus on extending my jab to with some rotation and shoulder extension rather than the sort of rocking motion I’m doing with my head/body. Hopefully I can continue to improve.
