There's this great stuff out there called White Monkey Holding Peach balm that comes in a little tiny tin. Almost like a lip balm tin. That stuff is WAY strong. It's pretty much straight camphor and menthol with maybe one or two other ingredients. It's awesome on tired and abused muscles.
I'd say it's no worse than playing front-row in a competitive rugby league. He's bound to get a few bumps and scrapes, but really serious injury is far less likely than you might expect.
So, these were one of my presents from Mr Summerteeth. Pink boxing gloves! I did look at him like he as mad. Then I opened a card which had a voucher for eight 1-2-1 lessons with his MMA trainer, which I can redeem whenever this year. I was moaning that I had a lot to do to get back in shape, and he has given me the tools to do it! So it wasn't so thoughtless after all
been looking at MMA to get in shape myself recently, but decided it might be an idea to get myself in shape first and *then* dig out an MMA course... if i'm going to have the crap kicked out of me, i at least want to put up a good show! starting footie and badminton next week, and come february/march, if i'm handling the exercise with work/travel well, plan try out some kendo and wing chun. just need to make sure i don't overdo things, otherwise i'll just drop them.
Why don't you guys use MMA to get IN shape? It's not like martial arts is exactly a walk in the park.
Um, I think that's what they're both sayin'. Summer's gonna use her little pink boxing gloves and her coupon to get in shape. And ecky's concern is that he wants to be in better shape before going out and doing something as demanding as MMA--like running a half-marathon before doing the real deal. As a sidebar, I dunno how Tasvir manages to stay as sane as he is. I'm trying to eat pizza while typing and it is driving me mad how slow it is.
