@mangmiketeamtaiaha7256 I found them quite spacious., but the strap can also be adjusted to accommodate thicker arms too 💪

@m4gnusroot great to hear that you're starting kickboxing classes. It really is a great way to keep fit and fun too. Good luck and let me know how it goes 😃🥊👊🏻

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 ty, I'll keep updated! 🙏

@@itzminyeray3661 hope they last longer than mine did 😅

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks for sharing your experience. Yes it can be quite challenging when progressing to the higher grades, especially for someone with an injury like the guy you're talking about. He's done extremely well to get the grade that he's at with a leg injury. Hopefully if his leg heals and he keeps practicing, he will one day be awarded the red belt 🙂

Wow that's fantastic!!! 😃. Really pleased you took the plunge and went for it. This is the beginning of a new lifestyle for you. Trust me, you'll soon be hooked, haha 😄 Thanks for sharing and keep us updated on how you get on 🙂🥊👊🏻💥

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 thank you mate! Will do! 💪🏻😁

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 Thank you for your review, the video helped me decide on buying them. Twins should give you a commission 😆

These were a size large, but quite a snug fit

Thanks mate. I'm glad you found my videos helpful. Keep us updated on how you get on with your kickboxing journey 🙂👊🥊💥

Hey mate, I'm so pleased you're considering taking up kickboxing 🙂👊🏻🥊💥. It's such a shame that you can't start until you're 18. Some gyms/academies offer classes for under 18s, so I'm not sure if that's something that is available in your area 🤔. Other than that, the best thing would be to learn the absolute basics by watching TH-cam tutorials. Learn things such as the correct stance, footwork, and the terminology of the different of the different punches etc (1 for jab, 2 for cross etc). Dont do anything fancy, just practice these basics first and then when you do start your training when you turn 18, you'll have a good understanding of these fundamental basics. Good luck and let me know how it goes 🙂

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 Alright thanks you so much!!! I will

That's great! I'm so pleased you found this useful. Good luck with your first class, and let us know how you get on 🙂

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 went great acctualy, rly welcoming coach and other attendees, did pads and lots of cardio work so I'm gonna try go as much as possible

Belt system in kick-boxing is bullshit pointless the good kick-boxing gyms don’t believe it and I can see why

Unfortunately not mate. I had to quit the academy when I moved to a different town as it was just too much of a commute after work. Gutted! 😪 Still on the hunt for a good gym/academy nearby

Hey there, its great to hear that you're thinking of taking up kickboxing. It really is a great way to get fit. Most places will take on beginners and don't require you to already be physically fit as you will get fit while training. Everyone has to start somewhere and some kickboxing gyms will offer beginners classes. The best thing to do would be to contact a few kickboxing gyms or academies and ask. Good luck, snd let me know how you get on 🙂

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302it's been 9 days i joined kickboxing gym (Thai style) I'm very skinny so my trainer advised me to do weights for 30 mins then kickboxing for 1 hr . I start with running Skipping Push-up Pull up 5 min rest Chest/ bicep or shoulder tricep (simultaneous days) 10 mins break Streching 100 jabs on bag 100 cross on bag 50 jab cross combo on heavy bag 10 mins break Leg stretches because my flexibility is extremely bad lol Day before yesterday i did 50 left and right kicks. My shins are bruised and paining alot. My coach advised to rest my legs for 2 days. I'll have to start kicking from tomo and im really scared lol .

@RapperJayT that's fantastic! And well done for taking the leap and starting the the classes. It all takes time and repetition to get physically fit and also to remember the correct techniques, and rest is just as important as training. Keep it up, and thanks for keeping us updated 🙂👊🏻🥊💥

Good point. They're got great at all for fitting inside a glove. I ended up switching back to regular hand wraps

I know that feeling only too well. Fear of being laughed at or bullied, and that was one of my biggest fears when I decided to sign up for kickboxing classes. It turns out that the MMA academy I joined, everyone was really friendly and everyone understands that you are new and don't yet know the ropes. Most decent gyms have a zero tolerance policy against bullying (it's in the gyms best interests to look after you as they obviously want people to stay and keep paying their monthly subscription, and not quit). If you do join a gym or start classes and feel intimated (it's unlikely), or you find you don't enjoy it as much as you had hoped - then quit as it's probably not the right gym for you anyway. Please give it a try and let me know how you get on 🙂

Yes some gyms can be quite expensive, but those prices are usually for unlimited classes. There may be some gyms that allow you limited classes or pay per class - £5 per class for example so that you could go 2 classes per week. Although I would recommend more than 2 classes per week, 2 is better than nothing - it just means it'll take longer to learn the different techniques. If that isn't an option or is still too expensive, then there are plenty of online videos and tutorials for free. Obviously this won't be as good as attending physical classes and practicing with a partner, but again, it's better than nothing. When I first started learning kickboxing I trained along to online videos to learn some of the basics, but I quickly realised that I would have to sign up to physical classes to really learn the martial art. I found an academy that offered a month trial at a discounted price of £25, then £50 per month membership thereafter. Basically I had to make some changes to other areas in my lifestyle to afford the monthly membership, including going for fewer nights out etc. But it was totally worth it. Good luck and I hope you're able to find an affordable gym soon 🙂🥊👊🏻💥

You're very welcome. Good luck with your new shin guards 🙂🥊👊🏻💥

Hey there, great to hear that you're thinking of taking up kickboxing. Its good fun and a great way to keep fit 🙂 Don't worry about having no experience and being a bit shit to start with. I was exactly the same when I first started. I didn't know how to throw a punch properly, or the correct stance or anything. And to be honest everyone who first starts kickboxing will be the same. The instructor and your peers will understand that you're new to the sport, and they won't expect too much from you until you learn the new skills. It all takes time and practice - a lot of it! Try and find somewhere that offers beginner classes and they will start from the bottom so you can learn the correct stance for kickboxing, and how to throw basic punches correctly, then how to throw basic kicks correctly. Try not to get disheartened if things don't happen quickly (it took me years, and I still have my bad moments where I feel like I'm a bit shit, lol 😅) Good luck and let me know how you get on 🙂 🥊👊🏻💥

You're very welcome. And please do let us know how you get in with starting kickboxing. I'm sure you'll have great fun 😃🙌🏻

Mine never did fully heal and still plays up from time to time. But once it was healed enough to return to training I had to wear an ankle support as that ankle was weaker and probably always will be

@@jensdeboer97 I heard ice and heat works and rest. Mine took 5 months.

That's great to hear that you decided on kickboxing. Have fun and let us know how you get on 🙂

Hey, I'm glad my video inspired you. Well done for booking your first class! Proud of you 🙂👍🏻. Yeah I was also shitting myself on my first day, but afterwards you'll realise you loved it and will be looking forward to the next class. Good luck and let me know how it goes 😃🙌🏻

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 massive Thankyou Johnny, went to the class and it was brilliant. I then tried BJJ the next day also, leading me to immediately joining the gym and hyped for my next sessions! Your video really helped me have the confidence to do something I never normally would, thankyou so much for putting it out there.

@@giorgiofrattolillo that's fantastic! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your first class, and even better that you tried BJJ 😃🙌🏻. Taking part in martial arts is great for your fitness and mental wellbeing, and it really help improve your confidence. So pleased for you. There's a long road ahead with lots of training to learn lots of new skills (one step at a time). And of course you will have your good days and your bad days - but the good days more than make up for it and make it all worth while 😁. So pleased for you. Good luck and do keep us updated with your progress 😃🥊👊🏻💥

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 Thankyou so much Johnny that’s so nice of you. I appreciate you and help you are giving to people like myself to start this journey! I’m so excited for it now - been training and practicing all weekend. Thankyou again!

@@alexphillips7544 same here - I was 38 when I first started. That was 4 amd a half years ago and I'm still not used to taking hits to the head, lol 😆. To be honest, I dint think you ever get used to it as nobody likes being hit in the head. But over time you will get better at evading or blocking those attacks. You'll eventually get a feel of when an attack is coming that way based on your opponents body language, and you'll be able to slip, roll, or block the attack and then counter attack to hopefully take him by surprise. As I say it all takes time though and lots of practice. Make sure you practice at home too by doing lots of shadow boxing. Imagine there's an opponent standing in front of you throwing kicks and punches, and practice getting out of the way (slips, rolls, lean back etc) and blocking. You'll get there eventually, but yeah you will get hit (lots) in the meantime and its never nice. You just need to figure out how to minimise it 🙂👊🏻

Good point. They also don't use a belt grading system in Muay Thai. But a lot of kickboxing academies do use the belt grading system, and it can be a very useful tool to measure ability and increase motivation (especially for those new to kickboxing). Also its a good way to identify at what stage others in class are in their kickboxing journey. When asked to partner up for sparring it usually makes sense to partner with someone a similar grade with the same ability and skills. Having said that, it can definitely benefit someone new to occasionally partner with someone further along in their journey as they can often pick up new techniques and nuances from someone more experienced, just along as the more experienced student acknowledges that their partner is less experienced 🤔

Hey there, sure I'll try and get around to doing a video on that sometime 🙂👍🏻. Things have been crazy busy lately so I've not been able to do any videos for a while

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 no worries :) thank you 😊

Hey mate so sorry to hear that you torn your ligament 😕. To be honest my injury never fully healed and I still have problems occasionally after lengthy training sessions. I would say it probably took around 6 months before I was able to train properly, but I usually have to go lighter when kicking with that leg and I also wear ankle support as it still feels weaker than my other ankle. The key is not to push things too hard and dint return to full training and sparring too soon. Give it time to heal and just go light when kicking with that leg. But as I say there's a chance that it may never 100% completely heal. Good luck and hope you can get back to proper training soon 🙂🥊👊🏻💥

You might want to check kneesovertoesguy for an option. Recommended. Helped me so much.

Fantastic! Yeah it's amazing how sometimes you're not in the mood for it but you'll go anyway and have a great time 😃🥊👊🏻💥. And homemade flapjacks - definitely a bonus! 😁👍🏻

Great to hear that you've started back up again after taking a break. Glad you're enjoying my videos. Let us know how you get on with your journey returning to martial arts 🙂👍🏻

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 thank you 😊 I will do 🥊
