pads and bags already have padding so how much padding do your hands need to have? i have never hurt my hands. and i hit big heavy bags. but i have big hands and i can make a true fist. i guess everybody has different hands. but never go big just to go big.

Depends on the hands. I was told too much wrapping and pads can give u glass hands

you cant make a true fist.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

you cant make a true fist.

Lmao naw really? Cuz the wraps segregate the thumb?

 

[Yuzo]

yeah. you cant fully squeeze your hand shut. so you get a open fist not a true fist.

Aren't you more likely to break your ridy that way

 

[Yuzo]

yeah. i think a lot of guys when they punch they dont understand they are not even really making a true fist. so they may hurt their hand or they may try not to punch hard because it hurts to punch hard.

 

[Poh SIti Dawn]

I wonder if my ajarn gets annoyed when I talk about watching boxing and not muay Thai lol

[Yuzo]

heres two quick tips for anybody trying to punch harder.

punch with your hips. not your arms.

and follow all the way through.

dont pull back your punches. go all the way and get good follow through.

So I met and grappled with Tim Kennedy this weekend brehs...

How did that go?

How did that go?

Pasting what I wrote in the MMA thread.

Basically I live in Austin Texas where he lives. A few fighters bounce around gyms here especially the Onnit gym here.

I've been hanging with a group of BJJ guys that have an event at a brewery on Sunday. Drinks and grappling? Sounds fun.

One of my buddies came in and told me "yo Tim Kennedy is coming. Don't tell anyone!"

About half an hour into rolling there he is!

He rolls with someone in one round and I see him while I'm grappling someone else. I already did kickboxing earlier.

So next round he asks someone so I decide to step up!

I rolled with him for 5-7 min. Dude is probably 220 SHREDDED at 5'11". I'm 6'1" 200ish. Tim is very methodical. He wasn't using a lot of strength.

He smothered me and got me in bad spots. I took his back for maybe 15 seconds but dude is a black belt in BJJ. I'm just some guy that trained nogi for a year and a half!

Fun dude and humble. Snapped some pics too I'll show you.
