MastaFighta Member Registered: 04/10/05 Posts: 260 Loc: United States	I was wondering about a couple of things: I remember seeing Boxers having some kind of large pad smacked into their abs and I was wondering what it's called and what does it do for you. Another thing I remember seeing is Boxers having their feet on the top rope of a Boxing ring and laying on their necks on the canvas. They roll on their necks left and right and I was wondering what this is called and what does it do for you.

Prizewriter Professional Poster Registered: 10/23/05 Posts: 2546	Regarding the ab excercise, are you referring to a medicine ball? If so, it is done to help condition the abs to tense upon impact, which is what should be done to deter the opponent from hitting your stomach because a) they will feel the impact more, b) it won't effect you as much. _________________________ "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food" Hippocrates.

Boomer Member Registered: 11/26/04 Posts: 304 Loc: York, Pa	how do you breathe? seriously...cause your lungs don't operate fully in the chest cavity, so clenching your stomach would ruin your wind for the fight. conditioning is key: train the abs to resist impact, train the cardio to breathe thru your techniques. _________________________ Calling yourself "Master" implies that you have slaves.

crablord th3 t4sty sn4ck Registered: 08/10/06 Posts: 1530 Loc: Australia, QLD, GC	Its quite easy actually. Try walking around the room with your stomach tensed, then try running. Theres not much difference in terms of how hard it is. Im not reccomending the method but thats just what i do. I love opponents who dont tense. _________________________ "They say the only way to kill a lion is with a rear naked choke, but I'd just kick it in the head"
