I live in a situation where im not able to go to boxing / fighting gyms. (Money, time, family)
I am scared shitless of fighting and confrontations.
I have never been in a fight in my life and im a giant pussy.
Can i just buy a punching bag and practice at home?
With studying literature about fighting?
You can get like ok at boxing? A big part of boxing is sparring, sparring is king, albeit you can learn a lot and put yourself ahead of the curve by punching the bag bare knuckle, learning combos, proper punching technique on the bag, footwork whilst punching the bag, regular footwork drills, a lot of cardio like i'm talking some serious cardio.
I've done boxing for 8 years since I was 14 and i'm telling you, you fucking need sparring but you can work on other fundamentals before that. Watch UFC, old pride fights as well, I've thrown up triangles and done hip escapes, thrown up armbars and even a judo sweep one time in real stupid fucking bar fights and i've never trained Jiu Jitsu seriously just wrassling with buddies and studying how MMA fighters use their body in real fights.
It's much more difficult to unlearn bad technique than learn gpod technique.
Just visit classes
>inb4 rona
You didn't go to classes before rona eother. Just wait the few weeks and shut up. If you actually want to train for fighting already jump rope stretch and do strength training.
sage
absolutely not
just buck up and go to a boxing gym, if the gym is worth training at, the coaches will gauge your skill level and train you accordingly
just get in good shape before you go, you don't want to be that fatfuck that's gassing after a round of pads
No. One because you'll inevitably fuck everything up without a coach telling you what you're doing wrong, and second because it's not boxing without sparring.
Why do you even want to practice combat sports when you're afraid of fighting.
>just get in good shape before you go, you don't want to be that fatfuck that's gassing after a round of pads
What a dumbshit advice, you go to the gym to get in good shape. Delaying it because you don't want to look like a scrub is retarded, if you're a newbie you're going to gas out on the bag after 10 seconds anyway.
whose right?
Everyone's telling you to go to the fucking gym.
sure, then let me rephrase my point:
OP, at least be able to run a mile before you go to a boxing gym, lest you want to spend your time there doing burpees rather than actually improving your skills
it's me
i am right
first post said he had 8 yrs of training though
Can you be good at boxing or any martial art without getting punched in the head and fucking your brain up ?
The punching bag wont ever hit you back, so no. Go spar
jiu jitsu
Every grappling ma. Karate has light contact kumite. Just mix in enough Pratzen training so you don't hesitate if you ever need to go full power.
Short answer: No
Long answer: If you assume you can get good at anything without putting in the 10,000 hours you will likely never be good at anything.
Also unless you are under 14 years old you are too late to be anything
I think you should read Jack Dempsey's book "championship fighting" desu
just knowing how to throw a punch and use your feet puts you ahead of most people
this. studies show that if you imagine training that it's almost as good as the real thing
just watch ippo ez going
don't listen to this pleb watch ashita no joe
No.
>t. amateur boxer for 4 years
literaly everyone who trained by themselves looks autistic when they go to the gym
You in theory are very correct and pretty alright advice, read his post again and see how much of a pussy he is. 1% of Yas Forums maybe even less could follow what you said properly, you forget how fucking stupid people are here.
ok pleb
Find a sparring partner, all the practice in the world is bullshit if u dont know how it feels to get punched in the face.
>punching the bag bare knuckle
How do I make my knuckles stop bleeding?
just punch yourself in the face and do prostrations like that flat faced nigga in berserk
You don't thats the whole fucking reason mate.
use gloves
But then I can barely use my hands for the rest of the day and I need to clean up the blood from the punching bag
That's not barehanded
Hit it during the night before sleep, stop making excuses you fucking bitch, it's an integral part of destroying your knuckles and making them much, much stronger and dangerous. The difference between a conditioned knuckle and a regular knuckle is fucking immense, if you have conditioned knuckles you hit harder and causes cuts to oppenents face.
Saw someone in this thread going at it without gloves.
Just thought I'd mention, the "fist conditioning" thing autists do where they box without gloves is a meme. It's based on Shaolin monk conditioning, but what people fail to realise is that monks condition their bones over the period of years.
My best friend had this dumb idea that he could condition his face to better take punches if he started boxing without headgear / a mouth guard. He got knocked out the first time he attempted this and broke his nose.
tl;dr get some quick wraps and some training gloves FFS
No, you are fucking wrong, although conditioning your face is really fucking stupid, even Jon Jones say he prefers light sparring because you can only take a finite amount of hits to the head before your chin is gone.
Its either you use gloves or you stop bitching. Its one or the other user, there isn't some magical option you can take here you brainlet.
>comparing conditioning your fists to conditioning your chin
The difference is that there are nerves in your chin that can shut down your chin if they are triggered. And these nerves take a long time to recover, most fighters don't do that and causes even more degradation to these nerves ultimately giving them whats called a "glass chin."
This isn't the same as your fucking fists
*shut down your brain
I don't really understand what point you're trying to make here. Obviously people don't train full force when they're sparring. That would fuck up so many boxers before their fights.
All I'm saying is that the tiny bones in the face and the hands need to be conditioned gradually over the period of years. Monks do this shit from childhood throughout their lives using incremental and gradual force.
Do you know what paramedics call a fractured hand? They call it a dickhead fracture because punching hard things is fucking retarded.
Ah, gotcha. I didn't realise you were talking about the chin specifically. Glass chin sounds nasty as fuck.
I've wrestled since I could walk.
don't be a faggot, join a gym. Best comraderie you can get outside of the military.
I just want everyone in this thread to know it's 1:22AM, and I'm listening to old Zyzz songs. Fucking feels
o-ok, guess I'll keep destroying my knuckles until they stop bleeding...
conditioning is legit, what do you think weightlifting is?
muay thai conditioning is the most remarkable, the strength of bone and skin is incredible
It's 11:26 AM, though
iktf
fuck this quarantine desu
