No offense but Physics tells us weight is weight

If you train for a 60 minute fight... 30 minutes will be a breeze.

I love how this thread has Christened me a belt tieing newbie

A fight takes alot of energy. Each round is 3 minutes of non stop pushing yourself. You need to develop this ability. Do cardio, and then about alot of windsprints if you can. I like to run up to a football field, then run the length of the football field. Have a watch handy, and count 15-20 seconds, then go again. This is alot of work, and maybe you won't be able to do very many at the start. Start with 10 and try to work up. But remember, pushing yourself is they key to winning a fight. Most matches go to the fighter with the most heart. Try to do lots of rounds on the thai pads if you can too! That's my advice, enjoy!

This is true, puking isn't necessary, but yes I have done it a few times when training before. How is it NOT his fault? Tell him straight up, Im here to fight, can you please coach me? To push yourself real hard, push yourself real heard. To punch 100% with every kick and punch, do it. Strike the pads as hard as possible, by striking them as hard as possible. A coach can help you do this, but without the Heart to keep going, you'll keep giving up. Try to do it yourself if you partner is lazy.

There is this guy who walks into a bar and notices a man 12 inches tall playing the piano. He asks what it is all about and the barman tells him he'll tell him later. So he asks the barman for a drink and the barman says, 'Before you get your drink you get to rub the magic beer bottle and make a wish.' 'OK,' says the guy. He goes to the bottle and rubs it and, boom, out comes a genie, who says, 'You have one wish.' The man thinks about it and then wishes for a million bucks. A cloud of smoke fills the room and when the smoke clears there are a million ducks crowding the bar. He tells the barman, 'Hey, I didn't want a million ducks.' The barman replies, 'You think I wanted a 12-inch pianist?'

I dunno, I enjoy fighting the Goju-Ryu guys at myschool (I used to be in, I do Muay Thai now), cause they offer a different strategy kicking wise, they fight the "Try not to get hit, one kick/punch" game. Where as in Muay Thai, most people expect to be hit, just not hard.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? GEORGE W. BUSH We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us or for us. There is no middle ground regarding this chicken. COLIN POWELL Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road. JOHN KERRY Although I originally voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! RALPH NADER The chicken's habitat on the other side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrial greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road becau se it was crushed by the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV. PAT BUCHANAN That chicken crossed the road to steal the job of a decent, hardworking American. RUSH LIMBAUGH I don't know why the chicken crossed the road, but I'll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I'll bet that somebody out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars. And when I say tax dollars, I'm talking about your money, money the government took from you to build a road for chickens to cross! MARTHA STEWART No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my egg s when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information. JERRY FALWELL The chicken crossed the road because the chicken was gay - isn't it obvious? Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side." That's what they call it - the other side. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." DR. SEUSS Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken went across the road, But as for the reason, I've not been told. ERNEST HEMINGWAY The chicken crossed the road to die in the rain. Alone. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question. GRANDPA In my day, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough for us. BARBARA WALTERS Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road. JOHN LENNON Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in peace. ARISTOTLE It is the nature of chickens to cross the road. KARL MARX It was an historic inevitability that the chicken would cross the road. CAPTAIN KIRK The chicken crossed the road to boldly go where no chicken had ever gone before. SIGMUND FREUD The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity. BILL GATES I have just released eChicken2004, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook...and Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. ALBERT EINSTEIN Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken? BILL CLINTON I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. And what is your definition of chicken, anyway? AL GORE I invented the chicken! THE BIBLE And God came down from heaven, and he said unto the chicken "THOU SHALT CROSS THE ROAD." And the chicken didst cross the road, and there was much rejoicing. COLONEL SANDERS Did I miss one?

Some of these I got these from https://www.pvponline.com if anyone reads, there's the credit. Sorry these remind me of my dad's lame jokes -------------------------------- There were two chickens on either side of the road, one chicken says to the other chicken "How do I get to the other side of the road?". So the other chicken yells "You Imbicile! You are on the other side". --------------------------------- Two drums and a cymbal set fall of a cliff. .... BUH-DUM CSHHHH! --------------------------------- A Priest, a Rabei, and a Buddhist Monk walk into a bar, and the bartender says: "What is this some kind of joke?!".

Texas Chainsaw was pretty good, have you seen Exorcist: The Beginning? MAN! If you had a tough time with the first one, try this one on for size:). Im more into the thriller type movies like the Grudge and SAW myself though.

"Peeing your pants is the COOLEST!"

I think what SS is trying to say is, people take kickboxing because it's right for them: the competitiveness, cardio, drive, and challenge it offers allows those of us that are athletic to really enjoy it. There's also people who enjoy discipline, perfection, and mindful martial arts too, and that's fine and dandy, but to say doing something non-physical is better is outrageous and unfair to those of us that enjoy it in that sense.

Makes sense to me, should really have to earn the Black Belt. BJJ is alot like that as well, really competition based.

Try doing them with a tuck jump at the top.

How often will you need to go back? 17th is only a short run from my office, so maybe I could check her out. Is it covered by Alberta Health Care? Probably not, and if you don't mind was it pricey?
