How to increase punch power and improve balance?
emsley replied to emsley's topic in Gossip Café [/offtopic]
Yes, the big muscle bound guys are actually quite easy to beat, I would only fear them grabbing you. I once punched this muscled up steroid guy, I placed my left hand on him to tee up my right and unloaded punch after punch and he could do anything, i couldnt even brake through his arm. Will, thats stats heavy and appears to be kung fu in base, although i understand what you are saying it would take far too long for me to get it. Although i practiced Kung fu for 3 months (i know fuck all) i found it way to difficult and the situation I was in at the time was advised by ryan not to use it in combat till i had sparred. So I jacked it in and practised basic boxing moves to tie me over. I mean a year later my buddy had practised kung fu for a year and we shadow sparred (not hitting but getting close enough) and i laced the fuck out of him, I said to him "shaun this is how a street fight happens" the punches are going to come high to the head fast. he had warning, asumed his stance and I reckon I had hit him in the head about 6 or 8 times before he knew what to do, he wasnt trained, he wasnt sub concious and I knew then that kung fu wasnt for me. Im a basic fighter, all upper body no legs, id say the closet martial art i have is the basics of boxing in jabbing and round-housing. My take down are purely like a rugby players (american football). A fight on the street is over in 30 seconds or 60 seconds.... -
Do any of you guys know how to increase punch power? I have no bag to work on, I do pull ups, and push ups a lot. Obviously my style is not kung fu so Im counting pure strength to get my punch power increased. Also any simple ways to improve balance say if im hit I want to be able to improve my centre of gravity or would all that be in a fighting stance and repetitive training? When I get back in to leeds I might be joining a mui thai Gym, but in the meantime with out any aids how would I improve punch power and my footing? Any videos links, or ideas guys? Edit: While im on this I might as well tell you my theory on fighting. Obviously Im not one to start a fight so when I do get into one I have had to learn how to fuck people up in a basic way, but after a few years I have kinda developed my own ideas on how I fight. I will seize my opponent up. If they are taller than me but without weight (tall and thin) I look to tackle them to the floor and throw all my weight in to a take down, and pound them. (i think their centre of gravity is easily thrown out) If they are tall and weighty - I normally run, but have won a few by exploding punches as fast as I can. Thier centre of gravity is heavily rooted leaving you no chocie but to brawl. Fattys: Just move round their punching arm so if they are right handed I move to their left constantly till they tire then strike. medium height medium weight - from my experience these guys tend to be all rounders and surprise packages for your ass kicking. I try to strike first and depending how well the punch connected will go for a tackle to ground and pound them. Sometimes one punch is enough to through them out and you can just rattle off a few more. Little bastards - grab them then twat them. I like to engage then deliver a critical strike - im carefull with a critical strike such as a blow to the nose or jaw line, as hitting the mouth can lead to your knuckles been split and infections can set in and hitting someone in the nose is pretty fucking messy, I only do this when I know the other guy would do it to me. My other theory: Sometimes guys front you in a public place or bar or whatever and they walk up to you and are like a small arms length in front of you squaring up. I like to pretend im been submissive tuck my head in then Headbutt them in the nose. I think this tactic rocks! What you guys like? Im not hard or anything This is just what I have learned over 29 years of been round really stupid people. In my early twenties I used to get my ass kicked a lot by bullys and gangs so I had no option and can now stand my ground pretty well.

Im on about crap sites that load shit up all over the entire page, steal your bandwidth, then you click a video you want and you get an advert in that as well before your footage starts. big stupid doo doo heads.
-
Looks ok to me, Ill probably get a download or wait for it to come down in price, crazy bastards want £35 for it on PC.
-
Looks like my type of game. Would prefer it for PC though over PS3. Anyone got it and stuck with it what you reckon? How long is the single player campaign?
-
Why do flash adverts load up faster than the speed of light but any content you actually want to watch never loads? WHY!

Yeah psychology is only their to give us understanding and doesn't really cut it in the real world. Some moron comes up to you blabbling his mouth what are you gonna do "Please take a seat was your father a mean drunk?" Bullshit! Saying shit and talking shit is serious business some days you might be able to ignore it sometimes not or sometimes you might be in a situation where you have no choice. 3 weeks back I busted a kid round the back of his head he was 14 - kicked my beer over, then he kicked it over again after I warned him not to do that. A little earlier he was mouthing off at my neighbour who is a little old now and no longer what you would call a fighter, he is thin and and wouldn't take much to knock him off his feet and this 14 year old turd was trying to intimidate my friend, id warned that turd about 5 times previous. Since his rap round the head he thinks 3 times before saying or doing anything now. I just think its sad that you have to belt someone before they go "oh i really shouldn't say such things"

It was a great documentary its floating around out their you should check it out. Anvil are a metal band that have been overlooked and dismissed for many years, these guys have walked through shit and back and been kicked pretty hard for a long time now. http://www.anvilmetal.com/ I plan on buying their album 13 as soon as I can.

leaving las vegas with Nicholas cage. This movie was as funny as it was depressing. The chick in the movie was A+ but she performed really really well. The rape scene is quite disturbing Im not normally bothered about women but that scene made me want to kick those guys asses. Nicolas cage was pretty good But I didn't see how you could drink that much and not die sooner, he woke up with the shakes a lot, I wasn't sure his performance was a convincing as it could of been. This is a classic you all should take a peak if you get a chance (plus you get to see some sweet ass)

I didnt vote for my self ;P -
Dam Im itching to play this game again, I PX it a while back. I love how you have to move all around the ship fixing stuff and doing this then been moved on to the next section. The first 5 minutes of gameplay shits you up big time lol all screaming at you - armour upgrades are sweet.
-
I watched the old Flight of the phoenix. Its way better than the newer remake. Did he just say Model planes?
-
That cannon section kicked the fuck out of me.

We dont know what you look like. -
I felt the same way. I was dreading getting eve over that bull shit. Wasnt fun was it? The first Bioshock had a great storey and inventive areas and tasks (like getting all those puzzle pieces in that hall), this was just a bolt on in my opinion not a proper sequel at all, it showed glimmers of its predecessor like the history walk and i loved that section. As the game progressed none of my weapons or tactics "did stuff" as your weaponry became better the enemies became better so what's the point of upgrading? Ammo was constantly low and i fiddled like a fucking moron between the countless wepaons and abilaties looking for something that could hold out for more then 3 shots before I changed to another randomly placed gun with a small amount of ammo, in between changing there are 6 guys hammering the fuck out of you and 4 robot turrets swooping over your head hammering you, now your going hack!! hack!! no change back!!! shit no ammo!! wtf! oh one shot yeah! oh I died... Chaos!

They can all go home to their mansions fast cars and trophy wife's. The squad is the generation of playboys - not real England players. They were in a 5 star hotel and "moaning" because they were bored. They should give half their wages to a good cause cause they Dont disserve it all. Possibily refunding fans their match tickets and plane tickets one by one.

Bioshock 2 was poor in my opinion. It wasnt as memorable as the first - the combat was repetitive and a matter of "unload and heal" or "unload die go back unload die, go back unload die" Playing as big daddy sucked a bit - Id of much preferred a human character - I didnt like it when the screen constantly flooded with enemies when extracting eve Id set up mines and all kinds of shit... Just too much going on.

Negatory! we would know!

motion control is bullshit!
