Is Callus feet good?

Hello everyone,

Is having callus feet good for fighting?

Joe Rogan sometimes talk about how different the UFC canvas is compared to other organizations that use mats.

I feel like it is hindering my movement and balance.

Input would be nice. Thanks!

I just thought it was unavoidable. When I trained I couldn't wear shoes because I wouldn't in the ring and I wanted everything to be as close as possible to live. A single training session would cause blisters when I started, until callouses formed.

So while I trained and fought my feet were solid. How would you achieve soft feet and wouldn't they just tear up in a fight?

I don't believe callous' are hindering your movement and balance. You could try sandpaper to minimize them. Let us know how it works.

I don't think callous' hurt your balance and movement.

I'd say just work on balance, agility and footwork.
