    Ya to train my gym always hits guys w/ a sledge that has a foam padding on it so the skin doesn't crack. Gotta do it on the back of the head to induce concussion then they will spar for 3 rounds. For some reason despite having one of the most hardcore training regimens most fighters in my gym lose all their fights... I can't seem to figure it out, our reflexes seem slower than most guys at other gyms and we are less coordinated... Guess we will have to make up for it with our chins.

    No, you'll just look stupid. Just go to your gym, hold your hand behind your back and slap the heavy bag with your face.

    Sometimes I stab myself in the eyes to get used to cuts.

    Sometimes I just stab myself in the eyes when I read threads like this.
