    The pro's use it when fighting

    think vaseline is one of the best things to use if you just amature for value for money and to stop infections, but dont think you really need to buy any to be honest.

    Oil up the body ??????

    Vaseline, sometimes in sparring sometimes without. Am pretty sure the amatuers in Scotland few years back, no vaseline was to be used in bouts ? Maybe GPater knows a bit more on this.

    I remember a guy in Glasgow telling me he got around this by using oil on his face regularily. That what you mean ?

    haha what?

    For sparring?

    I know some guys smoke a lil hash oil before they show up for sparring...but they tend to gas out quickly, laugh alot then head for the snack machine.

    For sparring we used to just use vasoline but I haven't seen it in the gym for a few months now.

    When I wanted to cut more water weight, I used to use Abolene, a makeup remover.
