you have to be proficient in many martial arts because you need standup and grappling game On August 21 2013 01:14 wei2coolman wrote: Well the term for kickboxing either talks about the sport, or the martial arts. Kickboxing is distinctly different than Muay Thai. All the top fighters are proficient in multiple martial arts. Even things like TKD kicks are used by Anderson Silva, and quite a few others. "Although known primarily for his mastery of Muay Thai striking, Silva is also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, " "He began martial arts training at the age of 12, training Tae Kwon Do and earning a black belt by the age of 18.[20] He is also a black belt in Judo,[20] a yellow rope in Capoeira[21] and is a professional boxer." most of his stuff comes from the ones i listed, he started the other martial arts as a kid like most people do, but you dont see him using much capoeria or tkd, just a bare few techniques despite training in it for years. His judo backround is helpful for wrestling and he does muay thai bjj and boxing for kicks/punches and ground fighting | ||

The best MMA fighters incorporate techniques from a wide range of martial arts, even though their base movements/habits are from a core martial arts. Notice I said "TKD kicks", not "TKD". 2 different meanings. | ||

Wait, I actually have something to contribute other than a vague circular argument commentary: I can't seem to increase the number of pull-ups I can do. Are there any exercises that aren't pull-ups that help pull-ups? | ||

I prob need to do some workout to gain muscle mass, my skeleton doesn't like my height too much, however I'm not sure if doing random sports activity wouldn't work as well in the long run as doing a specific diet/lifting weights. | ||

Are there any exercises that aren't pull-ups that help pull-ups? Best way to improve pull-ups is to do pull-ups. Is there a particular range of motion your struggling with? I've seen good things said about "grease the groove" when it comes to pull-ups. | ||

Are there any exercises that aren't pull-ups that help pull-ups? If you want to do more pull-ups, do more pull-ups. Doing pull-ups uses a variety of muscle-- mostly lats, biceps and some other part of your back I forget the name of. You can try doing isolation exercises for those. Oh yeah, tip: go to the gym with someone stronger than you. The motivation is good. | ||

like water is just naturally sweet, when I'm thirsty and drink some water I just go hhhHMMMMM SO GOOD because it just tastes so sweet and feels right. No idea why would anyone start drinking soda or things like that at all. | ||
