So iv been away for 6 weeks and my arm is partially healed. It doesn’t hurt when i punch however doctor has told me that I shouldn’t punch or block with it still for another 6 weeks.

Can I train around this and just get my trainer to get me to go light with the jab? I have a metal plate reinforcing the bone. Or alternatively should I switch to hardcore grappling training (bjj) as that doesn’t involve force...

I would be training one hour every day 5 days a week exclusively boxing.

In addition to doing muay thai in the evenings 4 times a week.

So I would be doing some bag or padwork with a partner in the morning and a run, then boxing in afternoon for an hour then a muay thai class in the evening about 4 days a week.

It's been created to help dispel some of the myths surrounding self defence and hopefully help you in making the correct decisions should you be faced with the need to protect yourself.

Of course self defence starts way before any physical confrontation, so there is some advice on that front too.

Different countries will have differing laws, so it is your...

So I wanna keep training twice a day but most places seam to only be evening classes.

Can I do the morning training by myself? Was thinking of doing something like this on my own punchbag. Or is it essential that all my training this early in is done with a trainer.

I will still be training in the evening with a trainer at least 3 times per week....

First of all I apologise for self promotion, however I would like to let you guys now about a small project I am currently running. Every month (starting from February) I am going to post a video showing various Tameshigiri techniques combinations along with the cut patterns.

It is quite hard to find good learning materials on test cutting so I hope that you will find the videos usefull.

First video is up and it shows Godan Giri (五 段 斬) - 5 cuts of a single mat...

I recently swapped up my schedule from training (traditional) Jiu Jitsu 2x/week + 1 weight training day.

Now instead I'm planning on doing:

Judo 2x/week (2hr each)
jiu jitsu 2x/week (1hr each)
Weight training 3x/2 weeks. (Still getting this set up, should start within the next few weeks.)

So that's only 1-2 rest days per week. I'll have to see if this is too much.


Without further ado...

I've seen 2 common refrains I've heard across several discussion boards about starting up a studio:

1) start small by renting a room per hour in say a school, gym, or church to build up numbers before signing a lease for dedicated store space. This totally makes sense from a cash flow perspective - paying for capacity you're not in position to use is just burning...
