Wish I had more time to do more than lift weights. Really want to get into a martial art because I love fighting etc but never have the damn time and cant pick which one I want :\
Plus getting bored of lifting all the time and for some reason have this "inferiority complex" where I keep thinking I'm not getting any bigger.


Almost picked up Hung Gar earlier this year during my first semester but a friend talked me out of it by calling it "stupid"

and sorry Narc dont wanna seem as though I'm "making this about me" just felt like semi venting kthxbye

Most, if not all, of the fighting styles in that one MK game are real.

Anyways if you wanna learn anything you should at least give it a try. Unless you wanna train for something like MMA or competition you shouldn't let anyone decide for you. I wish I could have learned something when I was young but I don't think my parents would have spared money for anything that wasn't for school. My wish was to study and learn a vast amount of Martial Arts. Not just the technical and physical aspects of it but also the philosophy and ties to the country/culture.

Found the list; http://www.earthrealm.com/deadlyalli...aracters.shtml

How much does it cost to go to take kickboxing lessons?

At AKA its about 600 plus for 6 months.I know its a top level school but how about some of these smaller schools just to get in shape and learn the basics?

Depends on your location...I pay about 109 per month, to attend my gym. I'm free to take as many Muay Thai, BJJ, Kickboxing and boxing classes that I can physically stand. I also get a weight room, and MMA conditioning classes (which feel an awfully like Boot camp).

I enjoy boxing training. Usually a short (2 mile) run, then some circuits, then 10 3-min rounds of bags with different exercises in between, then some 2 or 3 rounds of sparring. You get used to all that after a few weeks but the sparring after it all is always fucking awful, especially when you get in with a pro. I haven't really lost any weight since I started to be honest, but then I was in decent shape anyway and I've probably added a bit of muscle.

It obviously does mainly work your arms but when you pick up the technique better, that starts to work your legs too. I usually come out of training with tight calves and arse muscles.

I highly recommend it. I'm starting up some hard running again now while the club is easing off for the summer so I can lose some weight and then spend August/Sept. getting in fighting shape for maybe a few fights in the new season.

I'm starting a kickboxing/muay thai kickboxing program next week. I'm so stoked for this. Alot of it focuses on cardio and conditioning, with less emphasis on technique, but there are technique classes a couple times a week I can go to if I choose to. One of my friends goes to the same place and he's lost like 22 pounds since he started. He said it's going to kick my ass pretty hard though at first.

Pretty excited.

Oh jesus. I'm really wrong about the "minimal technique" thing. My friedn nearly knocked my head when he heard I got that impression. Apparently they really look down on "cardio kickboxing" classes. I guess I'll just have to go there and then report.

you'll probably move more if you take the technique classes anyway since usually good technique involves you moving all/most of your body in some way.

plus, don't be a girl.

I've gone to three classes so far. They've been fucking hell but awesome at the same time. I'm in such horrible shape but this is going to force me to get shit done right quick. Love it so far.

it's good. usually i am okay after a few classes, like i don't know that my fitness goes up but i am a lot more prepared for the agony mentally, so it doesn't seem as bad. at that point i can do a bajillion pressups and whatnot.

I went back to boxing training on Monday night for the first time in a month, only a light session but I am in a fair bit of pain. Hurts to laugh, push out a turd, breath deeply etc. Basically my entire trunk, back and shoulders region is bingoed everywhere. Going to give it a miss tonight and play some football instead, then get back into it on Friday.
