I'm a forty(+) guy hoping to return to the world of martial arts! I'm also hoping to prove that an old dog can learn some new tricks.

A great workout video by @sifukuttel

I encourage you to do the same!

If you are afraid of doing too much, you will always do too little!

Front Kick

 @impleiadic Said that their favorite kick was the front kick.  Which is hard to argue with. It’s another low risk but highly versatile kick. It really shines when your opponent keeps their hands spread apart to protect against hooks.

The front kick can be done as an offensive move like in Karate and Taekwondo’s front snap kick. Or it can be used defensively to push your opponent and keep control of the distance. Both are effective uses.

How Should You Shadow Box? Improve Your Shadow boxing for Beginners and Up

In this shadow boxing tutorial I guide you through how to shadow box, and how to improve your shadow boxing. It will be useful for beginners and above and for all styles.

If you want to improve your shadow boxing for MMA, Muay Thai, Karate, Kickboxing or Taekwondo, you still need to do the same things. I love shadow boxing for all combat sports, it’s a great solo training tool.

Done properly it’s low impact too, so you can train it pretty much every day if you want.

ATTENTION HOOKERS!

Palm in?

Or palm down?

[martialartsprobs]

I think the “correct” position for the technique is palm down, but I’m sure other arts teach it differently.

[manwithoutborders]

Depends on the distance! Close to the body: Palm down, far from the body: Palm in.

It’s all about the wrist alignment. If you palm down a long hook you can get a boxers fracture or roll the wrist. Palm in on a short punch and you’re robbing yourself of arm rotation and losing power on the strike.

[dr-grayson]

There’s also a slap hook with the hand open or even a hook where the hand is turned with the thumb pointing towards the ground as manwithoutborders said, it all depends on distance and truthfully what you wanna do with it.

Had a little light pad work earlier

[sanjaypishaan]

I need to work out harder and smarter. I need to train more. I need to rest better. I need to diet properly. Everything I want is within reach as long as I have the discipline.

I know I have it. Just gotta move one day at a time.

Here, here! You and me both…
