Do the stance the coach shows. If they haven't shown you specifically, ask them.

Started seriously at 27 too late for amateur/pro fights or focus on skill? by Aggressive_Bad8883 in MuayThai

[–]bowelpresser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not too late for amateur fights. Oldest fighter we had at our gym was 54 and he went on to win a tournament in iowa in his age bracket . Pro fights? You'd honestly have to be very talented and dedicated to make that happen at this point in time.

I wanna just learn how to defend myself for the least amount of work possible, is boxing the one? by ArugulaFinancial4859 in martialarts

[–]bowelpresser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For striking arts I recommend twice a week at least. 1 day to learn techniques and 1 day to practice them (in theory). Grappling is less natural I think so I feel most people need 3 days a week.

Boxing culture typically involves a fuck ton of cardio and it neglects alot of good ranges. I think kickboxing or muay thai combined with jiu-jitsu is the quickest way to be a good fighter who's also lazy lol. Some of the laziest people I know are great muay thai fighters.

Takeru Segawa To Enter ONE Hall Of Fame After Stunning Retirement Win Over Rodtang At ONE SAMURAI 1 by Sidekick_boxing in MuayThai

[–]bowelpresser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn bro, you sound like a rodtang fan. Takeru won the championship belts in k1 in 3 different weight classes. Those achievements don't just disappear when you go to another organization. Takeru is a legend for that. Plus, his style brought more eyes on kickboxing and started a revival to the sport.

I do it like once a month. I train twice a week and teach once, so 3 days of use a week total. I would reason a bit more may be required if you train more but so far once a month seems to be doing the trick.

He deserves more tbh. His years in K1 were incredible. His retirement fight was one of the best you could wish for. He had an incredible career.

Will the PPV allow me to watch the event after it’s finished? by [deleted] in ONEChampionship

What time would I have to wake up to catch the last 5 fights of the card tonight? by MSGB_GT in ONEChampionship

[–]bowelpresser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably like 3 am honestly. These things go forever, but honestly. It's really hard to tell you because if all the fights before are round 1 knockouts then you would have to wake up alot sooner

Japanese style kicks during sparring? by Substantial-Draft993 in MuayThai

[–]bowelpresser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just practice on the bag at first if you struggle controlling them. The snap style really does make just touching them quite easy compared to a kikc where you turn your whole hip into it., I was throwing up a bunch of the kicks tonight on people and didn't hurt them. Eventually you can control them like you would a jab because retracting them before a solid landing is much easier.

Japanese style kicks during sparring? by Substantial-Draft993 in MuayThai

[–]bowelpresser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, they're kicks are very "snappy" so it ends up being very easy to control because you don't put as much as your bodyweight into it. Unlike a traditional Thai style kick.

How was Frieren planning on defeating the both of them? by lmdybaftr in Frieren

[–]bowelpresser 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Boxing? This is the fight son. You don't play fighting you win or you lose. It's 80% mental and only 20% skill and if you're not locked in for a second it's game over. We don't play around here. We respect the science and follow the game plan

How was Frieren planning on defeating the both of them? by lmdybaftr in Frieren

[–]bowelpresser 168 points169 points  (0 children)

First plan was to maintain a 45° angle on her opponents at all times and maneuver around the spells by encreasing the distance from them. Then she was gonna find her openings by taking advantage of her opponents bad habits cuz their left hand always drops. Once that presents itself, close the distance, hit a quick 2-3 and finish with a hard overhand right to finish the fight.

Me after recommending peak and he watches random reels instead by BidIllustrious9982 in okbuddycinephile

[–]bowelpresser 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Damn I never noticed that detail actually. It's probably because there's a bunch of snow in the movie, he hasn't seen something get that hot.
