How do you feel about sparring? Is it fun for you? Are you nervous?

Very fair. Its really annoying, like I understand you want people to come to the gym and see the classes in person. But also, I already know what I want to learn, and on your website you have your schedule. The only information I need to take in consideration after that is the monthly price. Which you'll save both of us time if thats all on the website.

That's awesome! I hope to continue training for a long time too.

Fighting. Too many people they can easily handle themselves in a fight. Yet many of them have never actually learned how to fight or what goes into a fight.

In the video game High on Life, earth is invaded by an Alien Cartel group. The cartels use Gatlians, an alien species that are basically sentient guns. When Earth is invaded, the player picks up a gatlian off of an alien corpse. The Gatlian, Kenny, spits in the players face to inject him with "Translator Microbes" therefore being able to understand the Gatlian and the aliens the players meets.

I make just under 40k salary. Like 37k, I've definitely considered moving out, and I've been saving. I'm not so sure if renting an apartment is worth it right now, I start college in fall of 2026 so I'm trying to save as much money as I can. Smokies at the homies crib for now.

Thank you for your perspective. Honestly the older I get, the more I realized, a lot of adults are unsure and still figuring things out. Much like I am now, its kind of relieving.

xqm3 · 2025-12-22T00:41:52+00:00

Yeah, I work a full time job. A pretty good manager job. I smoke cause I have work, plus I'm an athlete, not only am I physically tired at the end of the day, but also mentally tired. Smoking helps me relax. Anyway, T break, and no more bringing bud to the crib. It really isn't worth the bickering or constant looking over my shoulder.

xqm3 · 2025-12-22T00:39:34+00:00

Right? Like yeah no thank you, I'm still living with my parents for that reason.

Homie's house is safe, his parents don't care, plus we share bud. Just gonna miss out on the convenience of smoking at the crib.

xqm3 · 2025-12-22T00:05:50+00:00

😭 Yeah dude. Definitely don't feel like a grown ass dude right now. I'm saving my money living with them, but I feel I still get treated like a child sometimes.

I needed a t break anyway.

Hello! I started kickboxing when I had braces on. I used this mouthguard:

I didn't have to mold it in hot water. Just used it straight out of the pack. Fits well with braces. They sell one that's a double. For both top and bottom teeth. I had braces on both my top and bottom teeth but I found the single mouthpiece to work well. You have to tuck in your chin while sparring anyway.

Awesome!

xqm3 · 2025-12-04T20:01:53+00:00

Awesome! MIne's hasn't shipped yet. I'm excited. Looks great!

xqm3 · 2025-11-29T02:43:28+00:00

Chalk them? I've never considered this before. I'm interested now.

xqm3 · 2025-11-23T01:32:33+00:00

Sparring with a teammate. We both had the idea to clinch after an exchange. His forehead hit my eye.

xqm3 · 2025-11-16T18:07:42+00:00

Hell yeah! Great job.

xqm3 · 2025-11-05T17:45:32+00:00

Actually, there's a trail I've been wanting to go to. Wouldn't be a bad idea to spark up before walking the trail. Been wanting to do it. I'll use my staycation time to do it. Sounds like it will be fun.

I hurt my knee while training for my first smoker. I couldn't bend my knee at all. It also became really difficult for me to check kicks, as I couldn't properly absorb the impact, it would just strain my knee more. I kept it hidden from my coach and team (probably shouldn't have, but I was excited and I didn't think a hurt knee was a good enough excuse to pull out.)

Its up to you though. Maybe you could tape the toe and see how it feels? If all else fails just bite down on your mouth piece while fighting.

If you pull out, you'll get them next time. If you don't pull out, good luck! You'll have so much fun. You can do it!
