I'm 28. I loved MMA since I discovered it when I was 15. Couldn't afford to train because of financial constraints. Now I'm working full time and can finally afford a decent gym membership. Connecting to my passion give me so much joy that I want to extract as much as I can with the time I have. Today was my 2nd class and I can't think about anything else than how to land a full roundhouse kick and increase stamina.
Be gentle! I train as a hobby and I used to love going to the gym and doing nothing but hitting the bag, varying my intensity every 15 minutes or so. I'd have rounds and rounds of light technique then 5 minutes of max speed less power then more rounds of chilling. Then i would peak with a round of total destruction: hit the bag as often and hard as you can for the round. After two weeks of that my ankles and knees occasionally would throb with pain. Bad idea! Now i do all the rounds without the hardest one and just up the speed.
Train at 4:30 ?!? Man , i live in israel and i arrive home at 4:45 pm and gyms here open not early then 8:30pm!!! Some insane gyms doing from 9:30-11pm. Want to see how you can handle it🇮🇱🤨

Wow We're the same age, and sorta same position
This just made me feel so much more comfortable and excited for the future of what I am passionate about
Thanks Bazooka, I too am trying to balance my studies with sports and this was super helpful.
I can only get to training 3 times a week, every other day I’m up at 4:20 to get to the gym and use the heavy bag and get my runs in
That’s a pretty good lifestyle man not gonnna lie
This was the video I needed. I’m about to go off this year.
Dude this is golden material for free. Thank you
Finally!! Been waiting for a video like this for so long now
Super helpfu so glad I found this . always thought running is jus cardio why not use it doing purposeful bag work.
This is definitely something I’m struggling with atm

Can you share you workout routine
This video is GOLD! I want to be a teacher and an mma fighter. I don't aim to world champion status, but in national circuits yes. Grazie Joe!
Thx I am 17 , I wanted to train to become a pro mma fighters but the thing is that I am stuck up with studies this really helped me
You changed my life brother ❤️
Very useful wisdom, will be coming back to it
I work nights most of the gyms in my area open by the time I’m headed to work but I’m still going to try and join.
Thanks for the video. One question I have is did you ever lift and train kickboxing in the same day? Or did you always keep them on separate days?
Thanks man
Easy. Get in the gym at 4am. Thats what i do..4-5 30am.. 4-5pm..5 days and then 2hrs either sat or sunday...no excuses..
Thank you for this brother! Love it
Now what if you add a full time family on top of the training and the job (with cosntantly changing shifts)
Thank you!
Thanks bro! For the advice :)
Very real information.
You think a labor job could be possible?
Nice topic you chose.
Go joe! Joe go! 🤜😁🤛
Best of luck to you all, I’m beginning my journey 🙏🏽
Good video
I am more confused now than before :D
Wouldn’t it be nice if boxing wasn’t beholden to capitalism? Just be willing to train hungry.
Wtf r u on?😂
??
If you ain't first you're last!
