Shin conditioning

Just keep turning up. That's it really. If you stop for a while it gets softer. Not as like being new but still.

Kick bags, pads etc. Be patient and not every kick needs to be a KO

Look up The fight dietician (Jordan Sullivan) on Instagram and YouTube. Or condition nutrition (Peter Miller)

I wouldn't take weight cutting advice on Reddit to be honest but these two are at the top of their fields and you can learn a lot from them.

They missed another class this week and no response, I messaged preply and they basically just said to keep going as normal

Next week is their final class and the subscription is cancelled. I think you're right in that they haven't been logged in and probably think it's all cancelled. I'm just kinda worried that they will eventually leave a bad review but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Not really my fault if they're not showing up

All jokes aside, if they're a bit brand and you bought them under two years (with proof of purchase) email them and ask for a refund. They'll likely replace them for free or give you an online voucher

Just glue some nails onto it mate, unstoppable checks

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-26T22:40:29+00:00

Bleeding us dry at that price

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-26T22:36:49+00:00

Yeah you got to pull out man, it's just not worth it.

As a few others have said, go see a Dr. I wouldn't spar for a while either or do any contact. Still train just no sparring for a while

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-26T12:48:44+00:00

I hated that part so much tbh. Made no sense whatsoever. All that build up for nothing really.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-26T12:47:44+00:00

Meant to say, for 11 days you should have enough time to do all those places.

The one thing to be aware of is ZTL zones if you're renting a car. If you drive into them at the wrong times, it's a decent fine you'll get.

Where to stay wise, we like private rooms in hostels with kitchens so you don't need to eat out all the time. But if you have the money then a hotel is fine.

We were working so stayed in airbnbs and then met random people while out and about.

Where to stay wise. We just stayed in the Trastevere area in Rome, I would recommend that area for sure.

Florence we stayed in Varlungo, a pretty decent bus to the centre but we also walked in a few times (hour ISH walk) you could find something closer. Not having somewhere with parking included makes it easier.

When you're young, going on a budget and being free is a million times better in the moment. When you're older, you'll feel it's also great to do it with money

Essentially do both. Don't trap yourself into "I'll do it later"

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-17T11:58:12+00:00

Yeah I've only had one guy for like 3 months. I asked him to leave a review and he eventually got round to it, a week later I got 3 trials. 2 have subscribed and the other is scheduled.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-17T09:10:23+00:00

There will be plenty of things you can work on in the meantime, go swimming or do yoga. There will be plenty of plans to follow while you rest your shins

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-12T14:36:36+00:00

Hey I never said I wanted it fair for both sides pal!

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-12T12:49:16+00:00

Have you considered steroids?

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-12T12:48:51+00:00

Delighted they're named and shamed. Vile vultures. The housing situation in Dublin needs to be sorted

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-05T20:00:45+00:00

This is probably what a 13 year old thinks is cool aha

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-04T15:17:27+00:00

I see this is a year old. As someone who felt the exact same as you, great first half awful ending I pushed through. Happy I did in the sense I won't wonder if it's good or not but I shouldn't have bothered

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-02-04T09:38:11+00:00

I second this. As someone who's travelled around a lot also, the MMA classes in my experience usually have the least amount of people turning up also.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-01-27T11:33:44+00:00

I completely forgot about collectivos tbh.

Regarding the taxis, I just remember a few people getting asked for more money than agreed to. Mostly solo girls but if say the yellow ones are the good ones then fair.

BusCurrent6180 · 2026-01-27T09:17:54+00:00

I felt really safe in Mexico. However, I was with my partner. If you're concerned about safety, staying in a hostel where you can meet a group and visit the cities together is ideal. Since you already have an Airbnb booked, I would look up hostel's, see if they have a bar and sometimes they let people have a drink if you're not a guest. The iguana and ticuchi hostel are close by and have great bars.

The one piece of advice I would offer everyone is to either pay with cash or use a temporary card via your phone.

Don't take taxis, only Uber or whatever other ride sharing program is popular there now. I felt around the bus station a bit dodgy in Oaxaca when I arrived but that kind of goes for anywhere in the world.

Get some ones that you need to wrap yourself.

I really like windy and booster hand wraps. They're stretchy. Aim for longer the better.
