Actively training? Poll

[SevenStar]

I train daily, for anywhere from 2-3 hours per session, and I go to the gym daily.

I train only twice a week now until my karate class restart from summer vacation ( around 1st october) then I'll be training 4 times a week as usual.

I go to my training twice a week, on wednesday and friday evenings. I stopped training in july and august though because it got too busy but started back again a few weeks ago. Now i wish i didn't take the break because i got my belt test comming up next week and i'm sooooo out of shape

Angela, I know what you mean.

 

It's tough to do what you love while working and raising a family. You have to make sacrafices. I just sacraficed eating junk food and watching T.V..

I didnt know you can get black belts in freestyle kickboxing?

[Little Dragon]

they have belt colors for kickboxing?!

 

anywhos getting back to topic,even though currently i am taking off for tkd until january since of transport i still train daily except sundays.Since im not getting a punching bag of my own ive devised my own ''creative'' gear to help benefit my training.Ive duck taped a phonebook to my backyard tree and punch the * out of it,and put my shin gaurds on and continously kick the tree for a certain amount of number.My list

 

-warm ups:push ups,stretches,sit ups/leg presses,jumping/hopping

 

-basic kicks and punches

 

-go onto more of the advance techniques

 

-go outside and work on my punching bag/tree

 

-come back in the house n shadow box for about 3-5 minutes...i usually focus on fighting my thermostat n pretend that its a fist coming at me..

 

im weird but yeah..ill do anything to keep up my training.

for the record though, yeah, some schools do give rank. It's not nationally recognized. For example, a level 5 in the USMTA won't mean squat to the IMTF - it's only for structure within the organization and also to assist with class organization. For example, we have a curriculum of how we teach students. the level 1 students work basics, naturally. we have separate training days for level 3 and above, however, they are also permitted to come to the basic classes.

 

some schools have organization via levels, like what we use, and others use a color system.

LD, I wouldn't reccomend kicking a tree, even with the shin pads. people in thailand would kick bananna trees, but the bark of those is soft, and has some give.

[Little Dragon]

Yea i saw that from kick boxer...poor van damme.

 

Nah but the tree is also duck taped with these thin ragged up pillows i found near the recycle section of the garbage outside of my house(i live in townhouse xP).My shins arent gonna lose its feelings like muay thai fighters....hopefully not..if so i gotta find thicker pillows..
