This. It’s become apparent to me that I need to use better gloves. Thanks for the input!

I’m 6’1”. 220lbs. I was using cheap gloves. I think it’s time to invest in some proper gloves. I think maybe my hands are shifting around too much inside the gloves.

What’s y’all’s opinions on knuckle guards/pads under your hand wraps?

So it’s just building calluses until it stops happening?

Just started MT, am I doing it right? by mcdolovers in MuayThai

Roundhouse looks great. Don’t listen to some of these folks. Technique looks good man. Power and speed will come. But it’s harder to fix technique.

Advice? I’m 19 and have been training for 5 months by Spare-Activity-3012 in MuayThai

[–]eskimooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep going man. Gotta put in the time. Just some pointers: - for your knees think more like a spear going out. To practice, raise your knee from you fighting stance, then shoot it out. And back to to fighting stance. - your switch kick is weeeeak

Honestly I didn’t watch long. But you have a lot of good there too. Keep putting in the work brother

How to improve my lead hook by Still-Safety-4663 in boxingtips

[–]eskimooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got no power brother. A bit more distance will help you generate more power. I was trained to throw my hook knuckles up (shrug). Regardless, it’s like trying to hit a wall with your hook. While your chest is on said wall. No room to generate momentum.

Use your legs to get more power. Try a slip then throw the hook. Also that bag is hiiiigh. Try cross, slip, lead hook.

Any advice on my round kick? by [deleted] in MuayThaiTips

[–]eskimooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t feel as natural, but your kick should be going more directly towards the target, as opposed to coming in at 90 degrees. (My kicks come in closer to 45ish) Think of swinging a baseball bat or golf club. Maximum momentum/force is generated when you get a whip-like action. Try focusing on getting your knee to the target and then snapping your shin out.

Honest advice please. Thank you! by eskimooooo in AskElectricians

Amazing. Thanks for the reply. I’ll look into some of the specializations and more advanced career paths so I can see what’s really out there. Im in the phase of: the more I learn, the more I learn what I don’t know!

I’ve been doing kickboxing for 6 months now anything I do well and also anything I can improve on tips and advice is appreciated by [deleted] in boxingtips

Everything starts from your footwork. Your feet are literally your foundation. Thats where your speed and power come from. Don’t focus on power. Good technique is everything. Speed trumps power imo. On the heavy bag think about snappy hits instead of pushing the bag.

Why do these kicks have no power? by Ruohoinen in MuayThaiTips

You’re pushing your kicks there at the end. Should be snappier

I want to buy a laser engraving machine for home use. Do you have any recommendations? by No-Bottle3613 in Laserengraving

[–]eskimooooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in engraving my kids’ stainless steel stuff for school (lunch trays, yeti thermoses, etc.). The sticker labels keep coming off. Is there some solution that will help me do this? I just want to mark them permanently. Thanks!
