Semper Jab

Haha, you sound a little exaggerated on that, but thanks for the info. Looks like I'll stick to boxing for now.

Well said.

xingyi- form mind boxing

Keep right hand on neck, and clinch, two right knees, end with right foot back. Shuffle forward, horizontal elbow, cross, and rear leg push kick.

There are no kyokushinkai dojos in my area but I found a Seido Karate dojo I might try out. http://www.eastbayseido.com/ I heard that this style is supposed to be an offshoot of Kyokushin, can anyone fill me in on how close it is to the original art? My goal is full contact and heaps of strength/stamina building. Is it worth giving up boxing/thai boxing for? I'm not going to be able to afford both gyms.

Hmm...ground and pound..*drools*

Muscle memory. Drill yourself over and over using both kicks and punches.

How do I do a correct bridge? My friend told me the goal is the get my nose on the ground, but I need specifics. What other exercises can I do to improve neck strength? Solo exercises preferably. I know neck wrestling helps but I don't do much thai boxing.
