Do you hit stuff?

[monji112000]

You haven't seen the vid of him tapping out to an 'ear grind' in under two minutes? Its famous!

yes maybe my sarcasm is getting bad.. but thats what the was for.
Hey I give him respect for stepping up when he ran his mouth...
doesn't mean that he isn't a jackas

I have had more people hold the pads for me than I care to remember, some slap it down, some don't.
Trainer debate that, some slap too much, so not enough.
Its a personal preference actually.

Yah there is a general guideline that you don't want to slap too much - you want to let the punches come to you - and I might've been slapping too much in my pad video.
On the other hand, you DO want to provide some resistance and my tastes for resistance are a bit higher than what i saw in that vid. Just my opinion.

my opinion of the padwork on the vid definitely got more negative once i realized the owner of the vid didn't want to discuss whys & hows and refused to listen any advice.

[Laukarbo]

Is it typical pad work that one sees in a boxing/MT/Kb/MMA gym?
No.

i agree on that !
in addition if it would look like typical mt,kb or mma u d probably read stuff like "hey,u are not tma" I think they know what they doing..in the clip however it doesnt show the purpose...as often in so many clips

peace

You must put some resistence behind the pad.
Some guys just go slap happy, of course that has alot to do with the guy hitting the pads too, if he hits hard, slaps won't be happening.
It also depends on why they are doing the pads.
Some do pad work to work on moving combos, some to develop broken rythm, so to work on targeting and some to work on cardio, ect. etc.

Context, as they say, is everything.

So far. No matter how some here try to diminish it. it seems we have a big majority that report doing exactly the opposite of what Ross proclaims.

Does that mean its a universal condition? No. What it does mean is that there are a lot more people using their art with contact training that some would lend you to believe.

So up yours, dave.

we know , we know, "my fighers" yadda yadda yadda.

we know.

"those who can't , teach.........."

Do I sense yet ANOTHER e-challenge coming?

Many of the people claiming to do it are probably doing it as ineffectively as the Hung Gar school shown in that clip, which doesn't really prove anything.

Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it, some might say.

Oh how superior of you. Of course you don't include yourself in that number.

Better to be thought of as someone who can't fight than to show up at a stupid e-challenge and prove it, some might say.

Fixed that for ya.

[SifuAbel]

take your own advice.

[1bad65]

Does this mean you will be fighting me on May 17th?

Are you in Austin now? If not, what's your excuse now?

[1bad65]

take your own advice.

You should have. Your failure to do so cost you a perfectly good ear.

[SifuAbel]

Interesting, this all of what to do with you?
