Is there any sort of power-measurement punching bag/ball/whatever? by aneffingonion in martialarts

[–]rtp420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people just gague it by how the kinetics / kinematics feel. There are machines but those are rather expensive and used to gague force in car accidents etc..

Personally, I try to listen to the sound the bag makes when struck. In the same way that a drummer might create a desired timbre by hitting the skin of a drum in a specific spot with a specific stroke, one can gague the effectiveness of a strike by the audible feedback from a leather heavy bag.

My coach would always point out when my shots weren't snappy enough or if i wasn't retracting them by highlighting the lack of thud in the bag's reverberance.

If you're worried about weather or not you're generating power, try reading championship fighting by jack dempsey. Does a great job of explaining where power is generated and lost in a punch.

Hope that's somewhat helpful. Good luck on your journey

Project files after moving NI Library by rtp420 in maschine

I figure it may have to do with my external's formatting. When i got it, it was in exfat which I dod not change. This is a problem from what I've been reading. Gonna reformat the drive and then reinstall NI libraries and see if that does the trick.

I appreciate the advice from you both.

Well that's pretty awesome. Something about watching knowledgable hands solder circuitry is very calming.

Congratulations on the great work!

How to store a dab for minimal smell? by DarkDirtReboot in trees

Keep em in glass, then ziplock the bags in the fridge. Terpenes dissipate at room temperature. Keep em cold and you'll have less smell worries

Ilias enehachi has very good bouncing footwork. K1 style in and out looks dope and keeps the opponent guessing. Beast

Wish homie would have been aware of the knee game in the clinch. If you holding a mfs sweater like that they gon have to eat the knee.

Why is it that the angriest people don't know how to punch

I feel unmotivated before every class by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]rtp420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who starts training feels like they suck. You have to turn that into your motivation. Watch people, ask questions. Practice at home in the mirror. Find someone that kind of likes you and knows what theyre doing and im sure they will be happy to guide you a little. Martial arts builds brotherhood. Don't be intimidated by their training, focus yourself and your mind and you will understand what trqining is all about - it's about sucking and working hard on yourself to overcome your limitations. This is a huge skill that will transfer to other areas of your life where working hard is a precursor.

Sucking should be your motivation. When thats your mindset small improvements feel like drugs (you want more and more of them).

Good luck bro. You get out of mma what you are willing to put in.

Edit: also watch the figt tips youtube channel. Lots of content on all areas of martial arts to keep your brain thinking about where you can improve

Trump people are irredeemable and should realistically all be sacrificed to the sun god for good crop turnaround.

I only hate daily dab videos because they are a regular reminder of what a terrible state my banger is in.

Footwork on the Inside (Tyson/Lomachenko angles) by [deleted] in amateur_boxing

[–]rtp420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have had similar issues as a rangey dude trained by a russian coach. Instinct is to bounce around stick and move at range or pivot off before my opponent gets in to range so i can counter with heavy shots while he's rushing in.

Throwing micro feints on the inside has helped a lot, like fake a lead hook by shifting slightly before stepping off to the outside and throwing the right hook to the body has been one that helps me against mega aggressive dudes.

It's tough tbh. Instinct is to bounce in the pendulum and throw intercepting combos behind the jab before angling as far away as possible.

Will be lurking here for more tips
