Tibby Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I haven’t put on the gloves in 3 years. I had to stop because my neck was injured pretty badly. Now, I’m considering joining my Colleges new Boxing College. I visit a Chiropractor and massage therapist, which helped. On top of my neck being a worry, I also have Jujitsu classes twice a week, which are rather intense, and I lift weights, which, due to Jujitus and college, I had to cut from 5 days a week to 2 days a week. I was wondering what you guys think, and tips for my neck (other then not getting hit in the head) and other advice on balancing my work outs. Should I restart boxing at all? Maybe thoughts would be helpful. I just wanted to bounce this off you guys, see what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 If you can make it through JuJitsu then you can make it through boxing. But I'm not a doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibby Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 The main problems come from my neck becoming messed up by blows to the head. For some strange reason, it was only blows to the head that hurt my neck. Headlocks and things of that nature don't do a thing to me in the long run. But for some reason, those blows to the head just kill my neck! I want to the Chiroctor after months of not going the other day, and I didn't hardly need to get adjusted at all! I didn't need a cracking, even with Jujitsu. But when I boxed, if I wasn't stiff as a board, I would crack like a machine gun! Anyone who says Boxing isn't a devastating art need to consider trying it first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battousai16 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 sounds pretty simple to me, just don't get hit in the head "I hear you can kill 200 men and play a mean six string at the same time..."-Six String Samurai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibby Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Sano- Yeah, maybe your neck is stronger. Or maybe your in a ligth weight class. I was a welterweight that had to spar with heavier guys, even a few heavy weights, because there are not to many guys in my weigth class. Maybe that was part of the problem. All I know is mixing up weight classes can really help you when you are facing someone in your class. They are either faster or stronger then the guys you will be facing. It is great! lol. So bat, how much boxing have you done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
