    Oh for ****'s sake I've had just about enough of you ****ers on your soapboxes.

    Guy comes on here for advice and guess what? We gave it to him based on his level which is at the very begining and he needs a ****ing gym to go to because he looks like one of those toughman contestants. He should also be reading the stickies before posting yet another redundant ****ing thread that clogs this place up.

    But no, we get the internet ****ing heroes who just feel the need to be charitable and offer expert advice to a guy who cant be ****ing asked to look at youtube, watch an actual boxing match ooooor do his own ****ing research before wasting other peoples time because he comes off as "genuine" **** YOU

    Maybe just maybe I'll show up to a job interview in sweatpants because I'm genuine. ****ing kidding me? You two should go tickle each others balls through pm before you break out into a Care Bear stare here. Want to argue me? send a pm and all apologies to RDJ but this is BULL****!!!!!

    Not needed at all mate. I think it's perfectly fine at this moment, without a bit of rudeness this wouldn't be ESB.

    Wowww !!! You seem genuinely upset !!!:rofl :rofl :rofl

    First off, Wanna argue , send pm's etc ????? Are you for real ?:rofl

    Second off, regarding the trackies to the job interview. Thaa some sarcasm ? If it is then am i to take ma kitbag to ma pc desk when i log on here ? 3rd thing, redundant ****ing threads cluttering up the forum ? Cant say its becoming a burden here, far from it.

    He cant do his own research either ? Asking here isnt doing some research ? Read that paragraph again :yep Its beautiful

    You also seem to know him quite well eh. He seems genuine to me, you seemed a tool. Stop crying Princess :yep

    Regarding Sherdogs site....go join them aswell :thumbsup They dont tolerate Bull**** etc...... and....I could argue you were efectively telling the "seeds" of the sport to ****off. Guess we should all be intermediate regarding asking your advice now ?

    Your good :hi:

    What a big old fuss about nothing.

    I guess there are two ways of thinking about this and you guys are struggling to find some common ground. Fair enough.


    For my part, I hit the bag like this sometimes to relieve stress, or when I've been drinking Special Brew.


    Mmmmmm, Special Brew.

    I'm off for my Special Brew. MMMmmmm.

    :lol::lol: For ****'s sake Mcgrain, your probably doing it all wrong so I suggest you find a pub or work on your Google-Fu:smoke

    With that being said....


    FAQ - Training at Home (Read before Posting)
    A question that comes up often involves the best method of training stand-up on your own. If your goals are to compete or just become a competent hobbyist, then there are a million reasons why "training yourself" is a bad idea. For one, any stand-up art, from boxing to muay thai, to whatever else, is very unnatural. You have to re-train your body to do movements that will feel very strange or awkward at first. There is no doubt that you will pick up bad habits that will have to be un-learned if/when you ever do decide to actually join a gym or hire a coach. Its harder to un-learn something than it is just to learn correctly the first time. Another problem with the home learners is that they pick up tips and bits of useful information and don't know how to put it together. They have heard that they have to "keep their hands up," so they focus on that. Meanwhile, their head and body are completely statue-like, they never bend at the knee, and are stiff as a board. A proper trainer helps iron out all these little tid-bits so that everything flows together a lot more smoothly. Gym-trained fighters look relaxed, smooth, and confident. They have ring generalship and a solid understanding of the fundamentals. A home-trained "fighter" is stiff, jittery, tight, and completely un-polished. The problem is that the vast majority of men think they know how to handle themselves in a fight, despite any evidence to back it up. Practice by yourself long enough, and you can fool yourself into thinking that you are doing well. That's why we see so many home videos of people "shadow boxing," or even worse, "sparring" in their backyards or bedrooms.

    Now, if you are just looking to get a workout in, then feel free to whale away at a heavy bag until you're exhausted. You can definitely use it as a way to lose fat, build muscle, or just relieve some stress. If finding a gym is truly not an option due to financial problems, a lack of a worth-while gym close by, time issues, etc., then I guess that ordering instructional videos could act as a replacement, albeit a very, very poor one.

    Good post by the way, that's a great summary of the situation.



    Oh, can't have that. They don't call it "special" for nothing you know!

    A complete wast of energy.
    Get a proper trainer.
    You are not impressing anyone.
    Remember --- the heavy bag doesnt hit back.

    I promised to fix the video instruction thread, but I can't. Embedding is disabled at youtube, but ESB does it automatically so I can't just post the links. When you click one, and it says embedding disabled, just click it again and it'll show up in a youtube window.
