New gym phenomenon - The MMA guy

[Lord Vutulaki]

I trane at a commercial gym, one peg down from full on Planet fitness.

There is a notice board near reception that has the bio of each and every PT and Ive noticed that they have now updated their skills to include "MMA" even the overweight 50 year old chinese woman is now an MMA fighter.

There one Yugoslav guy who is a trainer and I some times talk to, you know him, the always bulking dude. I ask him about his MMA training this morning and he says he has had a few MMA fights (BS) so I whip out the phone and google him in front of him and nothing comes up except his FB which has nothing about MMA on it.

I tell him that sites like sherdog have even shitty class C shooto guys like me listed and show him. I then ask him what medical tests he had before his fights (HIV AND Hep B &C mandatory here) and he says "Oh the doctor just wrote a note after checking I wasnt injured.

LOL gotta laugh, should I

1. Ask him to roll in the boxing room and clock choke him
2. Ask him to light spar in the boxing room and toy with him until I gas in about 90 seconds
3. Let it go

Let it go. It's not hurting you, and anyone hiring a trainer should do their own due diligence. Idiot wannabees are in every sport.

Schooling "billy badasses" who come in at my boxing gym is always fun,made a guy throw up last week.

I know man I know, I didnt call him out in front of a client or anything nor would I, I just love proving people wrong....time to move on I suppose.

Now if they come into an actual fight gym, that's a different story.

haha yeah, back when I tranned UFC we would get random groups of Samoan and other tough types, most were cool enough but would try to out muscle everyone which we would allow till they paid their fees and joined, coach said they were fair game but not until he got his money.

We had this tall skinny red headed nerdy looking white guy Garry who was even that good but would fucking school them and thats the last we would see of them.

No wonder the place is closed now.

He puts on hand wraps? Put on hand wraps and dip them in glue and glass
He stretches and does the prefight warmup? Go full Kevin Randleman
He hits the heavy bag?

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER

You should challenge the overweight 50 year old chinese woman that is now an MMA fighter. Lol

Are you pro soccer kicks to downed fighter's head or against it Dr Splinty?

I actually feel sorry for her, she is so unfit that she cant demonstrate a chin up, she will do one on the assisted machine set to max offset

Im thinking of becoming a part time PT at nights, life is boring off the booze plus extra play money for Thailand would be nice

I'm fine with it at the moment. I don't see an unreasonable risk beyond the other rules.

Getting headkicked standing or lying down seems similar risk.

Agreed I think you can generate more power kicking lower but at least the guy hasnt got as far to fall.

I think more people can attain a soccer kick, but I don't think it's more dangerous getting soccer kicked by crocop over head kicked by crocop.

Power wise, there no rotation significant with the soccer kicks
I guess someone could expertl .practice the perfect super low roundhouse, but generally that's not what's happening.

It's leg back 45 degrees and forward.
The tkd and kickboxing techniques of a compound movment to generate speed for a headkick seem the way to generate maximal kicking force, at the expensive of speed and telegraphing.

Disagree.

As will the UK crowd. Just from experience kicking (Americans don't know how to kick a ball)

Way more power can be thrown via a kick to a grounded opponent rather than standing. Plus you have to factor in the vulnerability of the recipient on the ground as opposed to standing.

I'd rather eat a lhk from Mirka that a soccer kick from aldo

Drunk mate?

 

[SongExotic2]

Drunk mate?

Nah. By the time a kick reaches all that way up its lost some.

On a soccer kick it's at the peak.

Am I alone In this? If I was down on all fours eating a soccer kick I'd expect it to be bar more devastating kick than if I was in the middle standing and get cold clocked via a high kic

Like I said, as far as I know. I could be wrong and if so I would have a different opinion about soccer kicks.

Find some links?

I'm busy so can't keep looking, but most things online seem to indicate that a professional soccer player can kick the ball at about 1200 pounds of force.

There are plenty of online demonstrations of people kicking much harder than that with round houses. I haven't quickly found a specific headkick roundhouse, but I would be a real shock to find the head kicking was dramatically weaker from a professional fighter then that soccer kick.
