ah it can take a beating. The whole base is full of water.There must be 150 litres or so in there. When I hit it quite hard the most that happens is the whole thing slides backwards a little.LesterUnlimited wrote:Answering Superbly's original question. If you can, get rid of that thing and get a proper hanging bag, the bigger the better. You probably know by now that at the most, you can tickle it before it falls over so practicing striking combos is going to be near impossible. Unless you're just throwing super low speed and learning the movements.

If you manage to get in a fight where the other guy wants to stand and trade blows, you can use your shit, but this almost never happens, most people fighting end up rolling on the floor or wedged up against a wall/side of a car, whatever, and there's no room to use any if your shit there, even if you are muay thai badman it won't be the same as being in the clinch so you aren't even going to get to smash his kidneys in your knees either.
Seriously, I'm sorry most of you guys think that you will be handier than a random dude in a scrap because 'training'. Rugby players at least learn how to charge at someone and tackle them head first or from behind with the risk of getting booted in the head so they are probably at an advantage compared to your average McDojo dude.

Not what he said. You are right about the heavy bag.

I wouldn't. You're square and off-balance if you're too late and he's able to lunge, and you're in trouble if he grabs your foot. It's only sure-fire if he's knackered, and if he's knackered then you should have a bit more class.
As for Tank, what did you expect? A no-rules man fighting with rules probably isn't going to suit.
LesterUnlimited wrote:I thought Roujin was talking about random dudes on the street?
Regards Tank, surely an trained fighter would have even more of an advantage without rules? It just means that they can both dick kick etc.. Especially at that time period in the UFC when there were very few rules anyway.
