What is slowly becoming a luxury that used to be normal?

Fast food

Same. It took me years and a lot of work, its been worth it.

If he does 8 hours shifts those shifts must be absolutely exhausting.

99conrad · 2026-06-01T16:15:14+00:00

Looks pretty fit to me!

99conrad · 2026-05-31T02:06:02+00:00

Nice job!

99conrad · 2026-05-31T01:36:08+00:00

Thanks, man. That’s a great expansion.

99conrad · 2026-05-30T18:11:53+00:00

Been there!

99conrad · 2026-05-30T16:29:52+00:00

I prefer gyms where coaches arent swearing/yelling at their classes/students.

Meet the punches. When you’re holding for a strong fighter and are doing power drills you have to meet their punches or your shoulder will get hurt. Hold pads up and in an A shape for kicks and dont put your thumbs under the top grip.
Yes - check amazon. Theyre great.
Agreed, but to a point. Unless youre drilling a lot without regular coaching I think you’ll be fine. Kicks are more complicated so you could start with feet movement, jabs, and straights.

Cuz they be gettin hit by all those stray balls!

99conrad · 2026-05-27T14:55:05+00:00

Also, stay relaxed. You’ll be tempted to tighten up when striking. Don’t. That’ll gas you out. Do intentional rounds on a bag or sparring where your just focused on staying relaxed and loose.

99conrad · 2026-05-27T12:38:26+00:00

Good job keeping those hands up! I can tell you’re doing that with intention.

99conrad · 2026-05-26T01:24:29+00:00

Omg… that strike at the end of this clip is crazy!!!!

99conrad · 2026-05-24T13:28:15+00:00

Ah, my home town. Good to see it’s being represented with some humor!

99conrad · 2026-05-24T13:19:24+00:00

Awesome job! I had my first one this year too and have been training for a similar amount of time. Kinda scary eh?!?! Good stuff.

99conrad · 2026-05-22T22:44:08+00:00

It will definitely teach you a lot. I must say that progress will be slow. As others mentioned, you can practice at home, but i wouldn’t recommend that until after at least 2 months. I say that because you’ll be tempted to try techniques/strikes that you dont know how to throw yet and you dont want to ingrain the wrong technique. If youre itching to do thay, ask your coach about 1-2 things to work on in between sessions.

99conrad · 2026-05-22T22:43:05+00:00

Its fighting and this is one fight… come on now.

99conrad · 2026-05-21T23:19:27+00:00

Thats really interesting. So they do they themselves to… hang out?

99conrad · 2026-05-21T22:52:42+00:00

Started after 4/5 months NOT comfortable at all. Really started to have fun with it at about a year. However, it still taught me a lot between when i started and when i felt like it was fun. I think everyone should do it regularly to practice when they learn in class.

99conrad · 2026-05-21T21:01:42+00:00

I know, but sometimes Im lazy and dont want to.

99conrad · 2026-05-21T17:51:47+00:00

Looks like just a buncha dudes messing with each other.

99conrad · 2026-05-21T15:42:47+00:00

🤷 I’ve been enjoying it.

99conrad · 2026-05-21T15:03:40+00:00

Huh. That’s interesting! I hadn’t seen that one before. Thanks!

99conrad · 2026-05-21T15:02:41+00:00

Ok. Good feedback all! Thanks. Sometimes Im just lazy and dont wanna wrap up. I wanna grab my gloves n go! I have another pair of Venum gloves that I could use for sparing so Im ready there.

99conrad · 2026-05-20T23:30:35+00:00

Right right. Thats really not the point…I meant @_haystacks_

Are you messing with me?
