@everyone can you recommend high quality fighting gloves? I'd like to gift my husband some and Amazons' selection is not looking too hot. He does MMA & Kyokoshin karate

@Volkmom Fairtex or Twins Special

@Tyler0317 nothin like bag work and sparring brother

@Volkmom Gloves for hitting the bag, or for MMA?

@Deleted User the TN sparring group is having our first meetup this Saturday. 😉

Nice! Do vids if you guys are comfortable with it!

@Tyler0317 I second what @Deleted User said. I lift and run every weekday morning on an empty stomach and it does help lean you up

Ive never done fasted training consistantly, I'm up for the experiment.@Zyzz @Deleted User

Its helping me trim my winter weight. Bikini body season is coming up

Does the weight stay off after you eat?

@Tyler0317 mainly for the bag

He doesn't want much padding

@Volkmom I like heavy gloves for bag work,

but, if he wants minimalist gloves, then wrist wraps will be necessary.https://www.walmart.com/ip/108-Everlast-Boxing-Handwraps/11996077?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=2757&adid=22222222227000129745&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40331775632&wl4=pla-59800897191&wl5=9013144&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=11996077&wl13=2757&veh=sem

@Tyler0317 btw winter fat burning, try a sauna?

Very trad

Wrist wraps brace your fist into proper alignment with your forearm, and help prevent injury and hand soreness.

Hmm ok ty. I think maybe something in between wraps and boxing gloves, checking out the fairtex now

Wraps are used in conjunction with gloves.

Oh I see

@Volkmom For MMA, these were my fav gloveshttps://www.dreamelitepro.com/product-page/dream-elite-pride-mma-gloves

Buuuut, they are 4 ounces, and have exposed fingers(for grappling)....

This makes them less useful for hitting the heavy bag, or sparring with your buddies. Because no one wants to practice with the guy with small gloves(it's hurts more to be hit).

Lol. Ty

Having a few pair eventually would be ideal for unique purposes...

@Deleted User your post at 2:14pm was the shit. Tyler ... I like you dude ...Thomas Morrow, the same... wish y’all lived in Northern California with me... but then again you’d all merc me after living here a week. Can’t blame ya... still Northern California is still the best spot in California... Will...
We need to get organized like our European brothers and sisters in Generation Identity...I’m sure Patrick feels the same... I know you guys beat on each other right?...

@Tyler0317 Stair machine, dude. Or walk on the treadmill at 4-4.2 mph at an incline of 5-10 for 10-15 minute increments. It’s intense

@punisher#2677 we sure do. And aye, I think our national sparring clubs are an initiative sort of like GI. Their propo vids with the camps and Muay Thai are bad ass.

@Tron I train in my garage. No machines :(

@punisher#2677 Thanks, bro. I had a good buddy from Redding CA. He swore Redding was the from the state of NorCal, the land of the sane. 😉

How do I get my girlfriend to be interested in physical fitness? She’s thin, but she has zero upper body strength.

Wew lad. That's a very case-specific question.

Yeah I figured. Just wondering if something worked for you guys

Women are sensitive and we obviously don’t want to make them feel bad

@this_that5553 without trying to invade your privacy, Is she of an identitarian bent? Red pilled, etc?

She's red pilled

Maybe approach it from a self defense stand point?

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

She just needs enough strength to carry babies around 👶 👶 👶

Self defense is a must. You need to be physically fit to defend yourself whether its with martial arts or blades or firearms

☝🏻

Wish me luck friends I'm doing a 5k tomorrow morning

@Warren H#1406 good luck!
