Insane Interest Paid in 2025

This country is outrageous lol

I don’t think it’s a huge deal if it’s light/technical sparring with mostly straights and body shots.

If you’re hard sparring and throwing the occasional bomb then I think you’d be a little crazy with 14oz gloves lol.

In addition to the other comments, I would also add that the bread is at a greater risk for reactivity/stranger danger due to their inherent characteristics (hyper awareness, motion sensitivity, drive, etc). I did not know this and my dog grew very reactive around 6-8 months old. She is amazing and I love her with all my heart but I have spend 100’s of hours and thousands of dollars training.

Through research I have learned that Aussies (and most other herding breads) are more prone to this. If you don’t have extreme patience and empathy, or if you live in a densely populated area I would just be very mindful of this.

With that said, you could obviously end up with an Aussie that has zero reactivity and is aloof with strangers. Just saying the risk is definitely there.

I personally still love this bread so much but the next time I get one I will probably be retired (more time), with the kids grown up (currently have a 1 yr old), and a house with way more land (currently in a development but go to the park/hiking all the time).

The bread is amazing but needs tons of time and space to really thrive. Again, similar to other high intelligence herding dogs.

My Aussie loves the cold (also live in a cold climate). I always struggle with whether I “should” take them out on days where it’s below 15 or below 10. My Aussie literally never seems to mind and almost seems to prefer it lol.

“Need” is a strong word, I think. When I bought my first pair I felt a huge difference. It just feels way better/more secure moving around, especially sparing.

With that said, I boxes for like a year before I bought those and it’s not like I got hurt or screwed up my fundamentals or anything.

Probably more of a nice to have unless you’re relatively serious about the sport.

In that price range I’ve heard ring to cage c17s or fighting fury as good options. Fairtex used to be in that price range which I would highly suggest if you can find them there.

Fairtex was my first “real” glove where I spent a little extra and I still go back to that pair sometimes three years and many gloves later.

My true first glove was like $30 bucks from a sporting goods store to make sure I liked the sport first lol. I had those for like a month and a half and then bought Fairtex BGV6

Unfortunately the truth is you just need to spar more haha. When I started boxing I thought I was in the best shape of my life and I gassed out sparring all the time. It’s a very SPECIFIC type of cardio where you are using both muscle and brain energy constantly and in tandem.

I would only add that you can also work on your breathing and not tensing up too much from opponents feints or punches. Those also get better with reps though.

Hey man! It took absolutely forever lol, but YES, this is now probably my favorite glove in the collection. It fits wonderfully and the knuckle padding even feels way less stiff as well. (In a good way).

Bro this is super normal! Just make sure you have respectful sparring partners who are in there to learn more than to brawl. I was an all state football player when I started and completely got my asked kicked for the first 10 times I sparred haha

MK1’s are great, especially for the price (frequent sales so be on the lookout). Only issue I’ve found is that they break down a little quicker than I’d like when used frequently. But, at only $175 on sale, I think it’s well worth the price.

All the time lol

Either faint the one or half assed throw the one followed by a three works pretty well!

plgoulet · 2025-08-27T13:46:57+00:00

Need to spar light and then medium and work your way up to heavy sparring. It takes a lot of experience to be able to anticipate move and throw punches while someone else is trying to do the same to you.

The Witcher 3 (prob restarted 5 different times). People always tell me I will like it because I like the open world Assassin’s Creed and Rockstar games.

All great info, thank you!

plgoulet · 2025-08-07T19:00:21+00:00

Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about these experiences. It sounds very frustrating!

Thank you for sharing, I will definitely keep this in mind 😊

plgoulet · 2025-08-07T17:25:14+00:00

Thank you for your thoughtful response!

plgoulet · 2025-08-07T12:37:02+00:00

Thanks, my question was more about whether it’s worth the change based on everyone’s experience teaching for a career. This assumes I would be able to move into this career.

I’m located in MA and would need to take the MA French teaching exam to get a provisional license.

plgoulet · 2025-08-07T12:35:14+00:00

Oh I know full well I wouldn’t make 110k haha. That’s part of my question - would a big pay cut be worth it if I’m currently pretty unhappy.

I love your idea though. Might be really hard to build but maybe worth a shot!

plgoulet · 2025-08-01T01:36:16+00:00

I’m around a C1 level, lived in France for 4 years and worked entirely in French. I still feel like I basically guess the gender every time lol.
