To make it short, I love kickboxing/MT. However as I grew older, I am unable to train full time due to relationship and work. As a kickboxer, I pride my self on my flexibility. But with my time in the gym being shortend, I cant maintain it anymore. So I thought, rather than stretch for 30 mins a day just to maintain my kicks, I rather just put that time and energy into actual training. When I do something, I want to do it %100. I have been lately going into kickboxing class just throwing hands and lowkicks and knees. My flexibility is terrible now. I hate half assing things. What i like about boxing is the ability to get right into it without much warm up. You also dont need much space to shadow box. I work on my technique at work, at home. Which made me think, if I get into a fight on the street (god forbid lol), there will be no warm ups. Its 0 to 100.
Anyways, enough ranting. I come from a more dutch style of kickboxing with emphasis on combos. So its a good style to come from I feel for boxing. I bought boxing shoes and looking to jump in head first into this new world. Pretty excited. Any tips for someone with my background and habbits? Never really worked on a speed bag or double end bag. So i feel like i am behind on much of the training methods.
