Kickboxing - Anxiety and how I cope with it during lockdown

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

When kicking allways throw your hand down thats the same side as your kick, helps for balance power & hip rotation, wont be too long now untill the gyms are open 🥊( i was in thailand on a 2 month visa but had to leave after 5 days due to corona)

[@johnnyboykickboxer8302]

Thanks mate. I've noticed different instructors seem to do things differently. I was always told to keep my guard up, even when kicking 🤔 That sucks that you had to leave Thailand so soon. Hope you're able to return again soon an resume your trip 🙂👍🏻🥊💥

r u still going to make videos found them very usefull

[@johnnyboykickboxer8302]

Hey there, yeah I do plan on making more videos soon. It's just been a crazy times lately and the kickboxing academy has been closed for quite some time. I'm still doing the occasional training at home though, but mostly just shadow boxing. I guess Icould do an update on that just to show my face and let everyone know how I'm getting on 🤔 😄

Thanks for the reply good to hear ur ok but no pressure I just found your vids useful

Hi, I'm considering taking up kickboxing when gyms reopen in Australia and had a question for you, what is your dominant side (left or right) and did you struggle to match the power and technique of your dominant side as my left is far weaker and uncoordinated than my right. Also what color belt are you? :)

[@johnnyboykickboxer8302]

Hey, thanks for the query. It's great to hear that you're thinking of taking up kickboxing. You should totally do it! Trust me - you'll love it 😍 I guess my dominant side is my right side, but to be honest I don't really think too much about which side is stronger - I just know that cross and rear kicks will always be more powerful

[@liamdanger7108]

@@johnnyboykickboxer8302 oh ok thanks man, also just a few more questions, are you gonna keep training after you get your black belt and are you interested in taking up something like else up Jiu Jitsu or any other mma styles other than Muay Thai?

[@johnnyboykickboxer8302]

@@liamdanger7108 yeah I probably will continue to train once I reach black belt (only red belt now so that will be some time away, haha 😂). But they do say that black belt is when the real hard work and training begins, and anything up to that is just simply preparing you for it 🤔 I already do train other martial arts occasionally such as MKG and BJJ, but kickboxing is my preference. The kickboxing I train is mixed so we already train Muay Thai, along with other styles such as Savate, JKD, Panantukan etc 🙂

[@liamdanger7108]

JohnnyBoy Kickboxer haha well I’ve just convinced my friend to take it up with me so that should be good. Thanks for all the advice man I’ll let you know how everything goes eventually when everything opens up again :)

[@johnnyboykickboxer8302]

@@liamdanger7108 that's fantastic that you've managed to persuade your friend to go with you. At least you won't have any trouble finding someone to partner with. Yes please do keep on touch and let me know how you get on. Good luck! 🙂👍🏻🥊👊🏻💥
