YODA Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Great - buy a cup too.

Bretty101 Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 Gum shield and groin guard i refuse to spar without either of them. I keep chipping my teeth and the amount of times i've been kicked in the groin by beginners!! ramcalgary, My best advice to you is stay light on your feet and moving, be like water? I fink if you stay relaxed rather then tense and rigid you'll be able to move far easier with the strikes and not get hurt. As for being afraid, It's sensible to not want to get hit!

ramcalgary Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 no one wants to get hit but if you constantly fear getting hit you will hesitate when you have an opportunity to strike because you fear a counter punch or kick. if you are going to kickbox you are going to get hit. even the top fighters get hit and trade hits with other people when they fight Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafabe Posted April 16, 2002 Author Share Posted April 16, 2002 I was more agresive this time and i got my moth gaurd and shin/instep gaurds, groin gard at end of month the strange this is i dont worry about getting hit in the head much just my shis are not to tough yet, and i dont want to break my foot. cheers guys, "perfection, is something we all get closer too with training, but you will never get there and untill you accept this your mind will be limited in what you can achive"- Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
