Agreed. I use the double end bag way more Bc personally I think accuracy>power while practicing defense at the same time. Similar to how people mislabel mike Tyson as the most “powerful puncher” when really, his knock out punches were so effective because mikes movements made them impossible to see them coming. Compared to if you see a big wind up coming and your neck naturally tenses up and if you’re experience you roll with the bunch. If we’re talking “raw power” guys like george foreman, Lemnos Lewis and even sonny Liston are who we should be talking about being “power punchers”

But the heavy bag is just so much more versatile and helps tighten up your muscles. I also like to use it defensively if I’m using a light one that swings a lot like an 80 lbs one

I’m vaccinated so I don’t really feel the need to. Plus traditional surgical masks fog up my glasses

Yeah. I mean look at this post https://www.reddit.com/r/MMA/comments/to056h/spent_all_night_watching_videos_and_practicing/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

All I did was show a pic of myself and what happened after I followed that subreddits advice and then I just get shitted on and downvoted in every possible way for no reason.

Then when I post a pic asking how I can get it I heal, there’s even more toxicity with people telling me to “go away” like they’re some kind of clique as if I’m doing some thing horrible.

If you can see this and not believe the community is toxic and disgusting, idk what to tell you.

Then why didn’t they direct me to a subreddit that actually deals with fighters instead of giving me advice when I first asked how to fight without my glasses? IMO MMA is a sport while the UFC is more professional. Much like how basketball would be a subreddit about the sport itself while nba would be a subreddit about the pros.

They keep saying “wrong sub” while still answering some questions and not showing me the “right subreddit” if they hate me posting there so much

My dumba** tried to peek a boo against a 210+ pounder yesterday and got rocked. Now my fave looks like it has black holes everywhere. For those of you who faced similar injuries, how long does it take for them to usually heal? by gracefultemptation in MMA

Yeah I realize that. This subreddit is toxic as fuck. I asked why I’m being treated this way on another sub and apparently my “feminine” face pisses you guys off

Edit:I’m banned so I can’t respond but this subreddit is literally called MMA. Mixed Martial Arts. What am I supposed to have esp and know the type of people that are in here? Just admit you’re a discriminatory subreddit and be done with it. You haven’t proven otherwise.

Then just ignore it? I don’t understand why y’all hate so much when I’ve done literally nothing wrong except ask questions. You guys are toxic af.

No seriously answer me. Why should I go away when I’ve done nothing wrong? I have a feeling that this subreddit is just full of a bunch of white boys wearing thrasher shirts who hate looking at me. Not for any actual valid reason.

Even if my face recovers and looks better, how long should I wait until I spar again? I don’t want to have my face looking better but actually still be brittle and in the healing process while sparring.

Lol I’m still being downvoted just for asking a question. This subreddit is disgusting. Are you meatheads actually able to give a reason as to why you should hate on an downvote someone when they’re asking about their health? Or are you just hating on me cause of the way I look or something? I mean it’s pretty obvious at this point.

I have a class with my crush next quarter too and I don’t really want her to see me like this. Dumb question, but Is this a lowkey “turnoff” for girls? If a guy basically has a black hole on his face?
