You can have Dave after he gets tanked…my low level of fitness (hey, it’s tax season) means I’ll be drinking after one round. Think we can get JP to sponsor an “Octagon”? Think John T Reed & Russ Whitney would show for a Celebrety Deathmatch?

I’ll be in Atlanta from Wednesday afternoon through Monday morning and need to get some exercise. I’ll be bringing pads & gloves for Muay Thai/kickboxing workout. Any kickboxers/boxers/karate/taekwondo types interested in some pad work? Only requirement: You do NOT get to laugh at my technique or lack thereof!

I actually do have some Muay Thai experience, too bad I will not be there, I would have gladly taken you up on it. In lieu of a partner, here’s something fun to try (yes, I have done this): Be sure to take your wraps and “bag gloves” (you know, the little 4 ouncers), go to one of them yuppie gyms that has a heavy bag hanging up, and pay for a single workout or week’s membership, or whatever. As a “warm up”, go work the heavy bag - Muay Thai style. As you’ll know from your own practice, even just regular strikes will get the bag moving around pretty good, but then when you throw elbows, knees, maybe even a good round kick into the mix, people will look at you like you are NUTS - hilarious. And good practice, too - a true heavy bag gives great “feedback” on your technique, and gives you a pretty good idea of what Muay Thai techniques would do in a more practical situation.

JH,
Can I arrange a charity “grudge match” between you and Alexander? Tickets will be reasonable and we’ll find a worthy recipient for the funds, although if Dave needs several rounds of tequila shots as his warm-up, I’m not sure how much we’ll have left…

Just follow the guys with the gloves and the pads. I’ve been doing it for about a year, once or twice a week…get’s lots of aggression out, and I lost 15 pounds. Probably lose a few teeth this weekend, LOL.

PF,
You’re the one rolling in the water on the beach, right? You know, on the 7-up men’s calendar commercial? With all the make-up, I didn’t recognize your face. Now that I know your fitness secret, perhaps I should begin working on my portfolio. Can you introduce me to your agent? Dang, I really like that commercial…
Good! - Posted by JHyre in Ohio

No biting, gouges, litigation or audits allowed. I prefer to fight Alexander BEFORE he drinks, he’s way too scary after a few shots. Plus, hitting people who do not feel the blow is very frustrating. Are you willing to play Don King?
LOL,
