Does it feel good to be right?

To be Honest Missy it makes you feel Lonely

Shame. Do you have boxers seeking you out because of your 'progressive' views.

From all over the place, or the phone all the time.

My hamstrings are testament to training "mal-practice."

I did what I was told as a youngster.
I followed instructions and expected it would make me a better athlete.

Now I'm having to invest time undoing damage donwe from endless running, skipping on poor surfaces and being taught a "knees straight" style.

Still, hope its not too late.

I've only been in one gym which had an area specifically for skipping. It was like a large raised wood sprung box....that was in Vegas. I've not seen anything in the UK.
The other place was a KB gym but all the floor was padded.


I think we have to be a little insistant and say you've got bad knees (even if you haven't), I'll skip but only in the ring.

Most of the newer gyms here have entirely wooden floors, which is ok.

I've seen two gyms, (Alpha 1 and Moyross B.C.) with raised skipping areas, although they're still pretty solid.
