Training

[jabcrosshook]

So, kickboxers, what aspect of training do you hate the most?

I've listed all the main forms of training that I can think of - just tick the box of the one you hate the most. I'd like it to be solely kickboxers/freestylers who answer this, so please no TKDers etc (nothing against you, just want to know what kickboxers prefer). Light|Full|Semi - not bothered.

If you have time, please state which of the above you do (Semi|Light|Full), and why you hate the option you have chosen.

Should be fun :Alien:

My result: To be honest, bagwork has never really inspired me. I love speedballs (floor to ceiling or platform), but heavy bags do nothing for me. I could hit pads all day, but the thought of hitting a big, swinging, useless lump of rags and sand bores me :bang: My favourite happens to be skipping, though :)

I train in continuous and full kickboxing - both American rules with kicks above the waist only. I compete regularly in continuous tournaments, and had some success, but have eased off a while on the full training whilst I have my exams. Hopefully then I shall join that circuit too :)

I'd have to say the question should be more along the lines of "like the least" as I enjoy every bit of training, but some a bit less.

I voted weight training, because we don't have any facilities at the gym, so I have to do it at home on my own :cry:. I would probably go for bagwork as a second least fave, but again because you aren't really working with anyone.
I find I work best with my mates to help encourage each other.

heavy bag is kind of essential to dveloping powerful leg kicks, but since you do american rules I can see why that would not be much fun for you norm.

for me its the running, I just don't like it. its boring, it aggravates my shoulder, and for cardio I prefer doing bagwork or even skipping.

how can you not love bagwork. i hate running with a passion, i get that too ikken, my right shoulder gets achey for some reason.

It's stilll essential, but that doesn't mean I like it. I just find it tedious and repetative. Running don't bother me.

skipping because i can't do it :cry:

Practice, practice and practice. When I joined my current gym, I had never skipped before. 1 year on and I can do 69 doubles :)

It aint there but press ups are the thing I hate most about training. :)

I hate the running. I'm happy punching the bags and sparring.
