Anyone on here?

 

used to be heavily in to spa boxing 2 years ago

 

What's spa boxing mate? You mean plain old boxing or...?

Used to box as well but switched to Muay thai wich suits me better due to my height and weight.
Boxing is the more difficult sport I'd say but Muay thai is deffo tougher and more effective in the pub

 

did Muay thai for 6 months after many years of Karatee. Bit of an eye opener

Especially after i went to a few exhibition in London @ the Thai temple.

 

plain boxing but no reff'd fights..

just 'spa's'

good way to keep fit and keep upper body strength


you're right about the Muay Thai... i wouldnt pick on someone that was well versed in that!...

unless I had sank at least 10 pints

 

since when has Muay Thai been code for BALLET!!!

 

I took up ballet after Muay thai, due to have no shins or ribs

left

 

Yeah it's miles better for staying strong and fit than running and fitnesstraining in a gym! I used to en oy boxing very much Muay thai suits me better as I'm 6.4"and weigh 82 kilo's so for me it's easy to kick and knee people

We are being trained by a 68-year old who's been training people (loads of worldchamps and the likes) for over 40 years and it's done the hard way: he's got a bamboo-sword wich he calls his little friend and if you don't pay attention or aren't trying hard enough he hit's you over the head or on your legs with it

 

chalk on the heels and bambo cane oh the memories

 

Got a broken wrist right now, broke my foot before and broke a rib also

You get used to 'pain' very quickly as it's just a mental thing you have to get through, I'm training 3 day's a week now with a broken wrist, I just jab lots with my left and keep my right at my chin
For me muay thai is about getting the most out of myself and pushing my own limits so I tend to look at my handicap (3 months of plastercast) as a sort of a blessing for if I can survive with just my left I'll be doing allright for myself!

 

Ryan if you could spell Karate i'd beleive you ROFL


Brown Belt Wado Ryu myself...although that was in my early twentys...now just got back to body building in a minor way


Personally i wouldnt pick a fight with anyone nowadays due to nutters with guns/knives etc etc

 

What's Wado Ryu mate?

Did a course in 'special force' for wich you needed a police statement that you were not a criminal lol
Basicly very simple and effective way's of fighting of multiple attackers, people with knives and so on.

I never pick fights and if someone would with me I'd rather walk off than risk hospital or jail over a spilled pint

 

ok phil i've lied through my teeth yet again

 

How true is that, you can be hard as nails yet a 6st stick could kill you with a pull of a trigger pmsl

 

I used to do Boxing for 2 years, used to love it.

Trained twice a week, then had car accident and neck was bad so had to stop

 

I did kickboxing for 5 years and got my first degree black belt, but haven't done it for a while - can still do all the techniques, just haven't got the same level of fitness as I had then

 

I did Thai Kwon Do for a while and then tried Mauy Thai but not for long as like
zetec babe had a car crash and broke me back
Would like to start again as it was an excellent way to get and keep fit but have
now become very lazy!!!

 

[quote="Hooligan"]What's Wado Ryu mate?

a style of karate mate along with shotokan, shukokai,ect
me ive been doing shukokai for 18 years and teaching for 10 years it's a case of each to there own, in this day and age though you need something to look after you and your family all martial arts are top's so enjoy what you do

 

I'm glad my injury was just whiplash

You recovered now ?

I would love to start Boxing again, still have my gloves and pads, every now and again me and mates will ahve a mess about with them, but think i would like to start going back to the gym to do it.

 

i used to be an amateur boxer but hated it cos i was always fighting people younger/smaller due to my weight and felt guilty for winning on KO`s.
Also hated it due to my eyes streaming really bad when smacked in the nose LOL
my front 6 teeth have chunks missing or chipped to fuk, and turned black where the bits have been broken, i look like a right tramp when i smile IMO

other than that i loved boxing, especially the hard training

 

My 2 daugthers are in to kick boxing and with a school call U.S.K.A kick boxing club

my eldest daughter has been doing in for 3.5yrs and is a blue belt which is 2 belts away from black belt , she is forever at competitions and tourments and cost us a fortune she is liverpool next week which is the european championship knock out stages

Marco

 

How cool is that - I bet you're really proud of her

 

yes thank's, took a while but was very lucky as i did not damage the spinal cord's.

will deffo go again soon

 

Glad ya made full recovery

I defo wanna start again but dont want to do it on the basis i did last time, got very competative and tbh i did not want that, i just want to do it as i enjoy it and keeps me fit, i also use it for self-defence And have used it a few occasions when i have been out on the drink

 

i know what you mean, i would only do it as a hobby and a bit of fun but
would not do it to the extent of getting in to a ring and risking getting
hurt! i know that sound's a bit

 

I wud never do it like that either, not my kinda thing getting in the ring and getting my nose bust !

 

Focusbird

i am she is pretty good at it

Marco

 

Cool! Quite a few of you then!

Now that is really cool Marco! I'm always impressed with girls that get into these sorta things, I train a girl regulary and she's a tough coockie as well, love it!

Errmm...you shouldn't get in the ring with the idea of getting yer nose bust, you should get in the ring with the idea of busting your opponents nose lol

It's funny: almost every man thinks he knows how to drive and how to fight and most of them don't when it comes down to it heehee! Always funny to see first-timers trying to impress with their tv-learned fighting skills

Girls (over 18 Marco, no worries) that box are soooo sexy...
