I have just started Kickboxing about 2 weeks ago, and have been twice, the first time i went after i was dead, but the second time was better! The place looks like something out of Rocky!!! We have learned 2 kicks, and 3 punchs so far, and the blocking stuff, and we hit the bags afew time, which i really enjoyed! I am going to do it once a week for an hour each time, i am not looking to become superman, but just fit and good knowledge of self-defence. I was hoping you may have some tips for me? And should i buy a punchbag for my home? I am 16, and 5'11, and i am slim-to-medium build.

yeah a punching bag would really help you work your kickboxing skills and tom i would suggest goin more than once a week, perhaps twice or maybe three times if your schedule allows?

Thought someone would say that! Yeah, i am doing A+,N+ and CCNA (I.T studies) on monday, tues and fridays, and my lesson is on Thursday, maybe i should think about Saturday, dont think the girlfriend will be happy though :lol: Thanks alot. And what sort of punchbag? I have done abit of TKD before, and there punchbags were soft, the kickboxing ones are alot harder... Or is that just the places i went to?

Once a week for an hour it's not enough. You should go at least 2 days a week ... Anyway better than staying home ...

 

Another way for you to complement this its to work more home. You use a bag in the gym, so get another one home, you'll enjoy.

 

Get a harder one and punch it with bare hands too, so you'll be used with the pain. When in a fight, you have no gloves and the other guy isn't quite soft, especially if you are aiming at the face :)

 

Good luck and enjoy the training. And of course tell us everytime how you feel there :)

great stuff tom!

 

i go to MT training 3 times a week (just began 3-4 monthsago). i also study part-time (double degree in IT and business), work full-time and also have a weight-loss schedule (30kgs in 20 months) and am a muso too....so I'm sure you'll be able to fit another session in!

 

What I'm missing as well is a punching bag at home....just got nowhere to hang it and don't have a good level spot for a bag stand...
