Boxing

[zy]

^Thank you, Sis Rastagurl11 I'm looking for a good boxing gym/studio that can help me lose weight. I've read from a different thread that it's advisable daw to use japanese gauze/japanese hand wraps (sorry I forgot the exact name) tapos put a dishwashing foam daw sa knuckles for extra protection? I'm excited to try boxing and nervous din at the same time. 

[rastagurl11]

I am not familiar with the kinds of hand wraps, basta the ones that you can buy from Sports shop are ok. Personally, I haven't used the dish washing foams, di naman kelangan but I see others that use them. You don't have to be nervous kasi ndi naman nakakatakot or masakit. It's fun pa nga eh.

^Thanks so much again! Ayan at nawala ang nervousness ko, excitement na ang pumalit! Try ko na makadaan later, if not, dapat within this month na.

zy: most elorde branches have no aircon.
di ka magkaka kalyo if you're doing it right. ako kasi naging red and almost magkaka kalyo na. mali daw kasi ginagawa ko. nung naayos ko na, ok naman. di na nagrered.

i agree with rasta. it's fun!

[zy]

Thank you, Sis Pixiedust! Ayan at nadagdagan na naman ang lakas ng loob ko, thank you! Ah ganun pala yun na kapag mali, saka lang magiging prone sa kalyo. Buti na lang meron trainer na magco-correct. May I ask na din pala kung what time sila nagclo-close? Naka-plan ako dapat na i-check kanina kaso ginabi ako kaya hindi na lang ako tumuloy.

San po Kayo bumili ng gloves for beginners?.. Thanks..

[zy]

Hi Sis Stunning_Anne If ever na matuloy ako, I plan to buy sa K1 Extreme Sport Shop nung Twins na brand. Kalurkey ano? Meron na plan bumili pero wala pang navi-visti na boxing studio. Hahaha! Pero meron din mga gloves na available sa mga sport shops sa malls. Hopefully, mamaya ay ma-check ko na ang Elorde. Sana wag ako gabihin para abutan ko pa silang open.

Mga sisses, anong klaseng shoes ang dapat na gamitin? Running shoes, walking shoes, etc . . . Pasensya na kasi if ever, first time ko ito. Hindi pa din ako nakapag-try kahit na mag gym ever kaya newbie pa talaga to the highest level! Thank you in advance

[rastagurl11]

K1 is a good choice, meron din dati Fight Club, I just dunno if they're still open. My Twins Gloves are 10 years old and ok parin but I plan to buy a new pair para 10 oz na. I just use my cross trainers/running shoes for boxing, pero yapak ako sa muay syempre 

[stunning_anne]

Mga how much naman yung twins na brand sis? May Mga color ba yun?..

[zy]

Hi Sisses Kainis at hindi na naman ako natuloy. Late na kasi natapos ang meeting ko tapos nakita ko na ang traffic pa kaya nag-malling na lang ako. Bumili na lang muna ako ng hula-hoop. Nabasa ko din kasi dito sa isang thread na good form din daw ng exercise yung pag hula-hoop

Hi Sis Rastagurl11 Wow! Ten years na yung gloves mo, good investment! Mukhang totoo nga mga nabasa ko na ok yung brand na Twins. Sige, I'll google Fight Club din. Uy, Muay Thai! I like din (inggitera mode activated hahaha)! Kaso natatakot ako na baka di ko kayanin Which is better kaya  between boxing and muay thai? Gusto ko lang kasi mag lose ng weight tapos yung other benefits, bonus na Thank you so much din for the suggestion with regard to the shoes! 

Hi Sis Stunning_Anne Hindi pa ako nakakadaan sa shop nila and hindi pa din ako nakakatawag to inquire for the price. Based sa nakita ko sa site nila, mukha namang there are colors to choose from. Ito yung site nila http://www.k1extreme.com/

[stunning_anne]

Thanks sis.. I'm checking the website right now.. I am excited for this one!..

[zy]

^Sa Elorde Katipunan mo din plan if ever?  Nililista ko na lahat ng things na need ko i-prepare, boxing studio na lang talaga ang kulang. Hahaha! 

[rastagurl11]

zy: yes, may colors naman, I dunno if the price increased pero P2.5K bili ko dati. Fairtex is also good kaso mas mahal at P3.1k yata. I started with boxing kasi ibang level ang hirap ng muay, I suggest you go boxing first then pag sanay ka na, go for muay na. Boxing din kasi ang basic ng muay eh. At least you learn the proper execution of punches muna then switch to leg kicks, elbows etc. 

Tell me if you guys are going to Elorde Katip, that's where I train 

[zy]

Noted! I will definitely follow your advice:) Thanks so much, Sis Rastagurl11! Ang galing-galing, you've been so helpful! Excited na ako kasi meron na ako kakilala pag nag start na ako. Mahiyain kasi ako eh At least alam ko na hindi lang ako ang girl dun

[rastagurl11]

^ You're welcome sis, don't worry, maraming girls dun.. as in outnumbered talaga ang mga boys. I'm glad to be of help, see you soon, I know you will enjoy it.

Hi Sisses! Finally I was able to visit Elorde (Katipunan) earlier. Korek si Sis Rastagurl11, meron nga ako nakita na pretty girls kanina kaya hindi din nakakailang kasi may kanya-kanya din pinagkakaabalahan lahat ng nandun Afternoon kami dumaan to inquire. Mapresko nga eh (di ko lang sure kung nakatulong na umaambon din kanina). Naku, excited na talaga ako! I need to fix na my sched and buy na ng rubber shoes para masimulan ko na ito! After pala nun, pumunta naman kami sa Hybrid Yaw Yan, I wanted to check them out din sana kaso tinamad ako nung makita ko na mukhang mahirap parking tapos nasa 5th floor yata, na hindi ko sure kung may elevator or wala. 

[rastagurl11]

sis zy, There's a big chance na andun ako when you went there, baka isa ako sa mga pretty girls na nakita mo hehe  Kidding aside, I hope you can box soon! Boxing is a great stress reliever and even better if you want to lose weight and stay fit 

[zy]

Hi Sis Rastagurl11 Naku oo nga baka ikaw nga yung isa nakita ko! We were there at around 4pm-5pm  siguro. Busy ang mga tao dun with their trainers. I'm really excited to start na talaga! Like ko yung fact that it's a stress reliever. I'll imagine na lang na yung kinakainisan ko yung sinusuntok ko. Hahaha! Titingin sana ako ng shoes and gloves ngayon kasi nakakainis ang ulan, di tuloy ako nakaalis

I have finally tried this. It is indeed excellent for building up buff arm muscles. And true that it's the perfect avenue to bust the day's anxieties and pent-up disappointments. Sa straight jabs pa lang, nailabas ko lahat But really,it's true coz the trainer was very engaging, and really got me agitated to a point where it did hurt even with just a couple of forceful jabs I threw him. And masakit din pala sya sa wrist.

not to mention a good avenue to heal your broken heart 

Sabi ng kru ko dati sakin when I was brokenhearted: "Sige, wasakin mo yang bag, sipain mo. Isipin mo siya yan!"
