BTW, I'm the one who gets kicked in the balls.

Yeah, dead serious. You should have seen me 3 years ago, more flexible, quicker, and weighing 40 lbs less. 300 is a goal, but if I hit 250~260 I think I can manage to swing a 30 lb sword around.Buzkashi wrote: Hahaha. Why such the big gap 20 to 80 lbs. You serious?
Protein shakes x 2 per day. Eat every 3-4 hours. Visit the 3 wise men every week... The Colonel, the Sailor, and the King.Buzkashi wrote: Actually I dont see you completing that goal unless you take monstrous amounts of protein and volumizers.
This was actually the first time in 3-4 years I've sparred using kicks. TKD is about 70% kicks anyway so its what I know. I'll work on that and next time I'll try to throw some sweet chin music, just for you man.Starnum wrote:Heh, you should really get more physical with all those pads on, lol. Well, it got better towards the end. Some of the boxing looked okay. Also, you've got pretty good form and balance with your kicking, but I've never really liked Tae-Kwon-Do. At least half your arsenal of flashy looking kicks aren't even practical against anyone with some skill. Really, some leg kicks and maybe a nice fast high kick to the head, that's about all you need. Heh, I do love to throw some step-over side kicks though, aka Sweet Chin Music, oh yeah.
Yeah I know, now watching the video a couple of times I used that too much. Its just a funny technique that pisses some people off cuz of my size.Starnum wrote:
Btw, you really shouldn’t bounce around on one foot for so long, I know you can kick from that position, but you’re really just leaving your foot out there so it can get grabbed, and of course your balls are exposed, as you already have found out.
Heh, yeah, I’ve taken shots to the pills, it sucks balls.
Point sparring is totally different from more physical sparring. At martial arts tournaments they often give a point just a weak hit on an exposed part of your opponent. We decided to do light contact since we've never sparred each other before.Starnum wrote:
Also, I never really liked “official spars” or whatever you want to call them, where you keep points. I hate having to break the flow of the fight just because someone scored a point
Yeah man, kenjutsu. As in, the sword style of using a katana. Like I said, it's a whole other level. I can throw down with some decent MMA, but swinging a sword around, well that's my real forte. It's really just for fun, because I'm a big samurai fan, but a well aimed sword strike can be devestatingly lethal, you know. Besides, hitting your friends with a stick is fun too!lon3vvolf wrote: Sparring with swords?? WTF is that all about?
so did the crips get tired and seeing that he wasnt going down decide to leave?Buzkashi wrote:Trust me those punches have stopping power. The bigger of the 2 is currently in bootcamp in the marines. He's messed around with a little MMA and was able to go to the California State Wrestling tournament. The smaller guy is actually probably 40lbs smaller than the bigger one. He's just a lil slugger.
But oh yea. These guys are warriors though. A couple of months ago the bigger one in the video got jumped by (this is not an estimate) 15 crips. I will say that his head was covered with so many bumbs that it was disfigured. But he never fell to the ground the whole time. He just found his way to a wall and took the hits trying to block as many as possible. Basically you dont knock the guy out. It just doesnt happen.
EDIT: I will agree that its more of brawling then boxing.
