What's better?

[YongChun]

1. Spar/fight-> make friends -> have a beer.
2. Make friends -> have a beer -> spar/fight.

[old jong]

IMO,the second alternative could provide for more relaxed sparring....Depending on the amount of beer taken...;)

[old jong]

Canadian real beer of course!...;)

i was thinking more along the lines of rum and cigars :D

Once you make friends then sparring and fighting doesn't quite have the same fear factor and hence may not be as useful. On the other hand maybe one's performance is better with the beer and friends approach so that you are able to function better with what you know. I am not a beer drinker either but substituting a milkshake just doesn't seem like the same thing.

Not my usual, but I'd opt for rum and cigars before beer. :D

Remy Martin VSOP for me, please...

BTW old jong, 'Canadian real beer'? A contradiction in terms, n'est-ce pas? ;)

In any order or combination thereof.

Make friends > train > socialize > spar > make friends > spar > socialize .........

It doesn't matter which one you start with or end with, just that those elements are there.

How about a blunt and a 40? *sorry i don't condone drug usage* :D

And , I am no way affiliated with Law Enforcement or ATF.

blunt an a 40 before trainin

..man some of the insights ive received..;)

[amjg2000]

Haha, it does wonders for your sensitivity....

I think option number 2 is a pretty good training method. I figure you are most likely to get into a fight when you are drunk... So make sure you train drunk because we all know that you should train like you fight. :D

I like option 3
Stay home with friends, BBQ in the backyard and a few drinks.

I get paranoid if I drink too much in a bar.
