Hey y'all! Remember that hot trans-masc gentleman caller I've been gushing over (and sending hat ransom photos to)?

Well, his queer kickboxing gym is trying to send a bunch of awesome queer and trans fighters to a big tournament in NYC to compete!

So if you'd like to help some hot queer/trans folx literally kick ass, here's your chance!

They're at ~~$690...$784...$1349...$1374...$1394...$1445~~ $1545 of a $2k goal (77%) for travel & lodging for the six who'll be competing in the tournament.

If they hit their goal, I'll have to think of a fun way to celebrate y'all

And pre-thanks to everyone! I know this would mean a ton to their group

Have anyone tried practising aikido-kind (or similar) techniques against kickboxing (or any street style fighting) punches and kicks?
especially the real speed punches?
incl. series of punches?

it sounds like extremely interesting "don´t try this at home" thing to do

do people practise someting like this? especially here in Finland?
(without going down on the floor for bjj or at least without choking)

guys, here is a question -
how old do you think you should be to still be able to do the strength training?
and particularly to do the arm balances or other calisthenics?

what could motivate you to workout?
(i think the fear is the strongest motivation)

what's your thoughts in general about aging and being able to workout?
- do you think you can be too old to workout or is it okay at any age?
- and what kinds of workouts at what age is ok?
- what do you think about martial arts and how good or bad they are to get fit? (i think many do not work for this goal but may make you feel better mentally. also for many you need to train strength and stretch additionally to be better in it)

(and.. how old do you think I am?)

join the abs party, btw !
six pack beautify people a lot better than brilliants!!

Funny story time.

I woke up this morning with muscle aches all up and down my legs.

“Is this the flu?” I wondered, but then I remembered that challenging kickboxing workout earlier this weekend.

So, no, not sick. Just a bit sore from working out.

A first for me in kickboxing today. I was sparring against someone who is a bit newer to sparring. I'd never sparred her before, so I was trying to match her energy, but like I'm also quite aggressive. So she kicked, I blocked, she left her head open, I punched, and she went down to the ground omg. She got right back up, but I think we were both very surprised. I've never done that before! #kickboxing

Just because I just read it again in a forum: No, lenses were already razor sharp in the 19th century. The fact that people usually didn't look sharp was due to the long exposure times (ISO #collodion: 0.25). If you shine 6000 Ws of light on a person for a collodion #portrait , you also get the impression of the capabilities of a lens from 1882.

Today was kickboxing day for my workout routine. This sport makes me feel so strong.

Kickboxing is still one of my favourite forms of exercise. Today’s workout was on the tougher side, so we’ll see if I have any sore muscles from it tomorrow.

I did a new kickboxing routine this morning and really liked it.

There’s nothing like the joy of trying new workouts, especially for forms of exercise you already love.

(Also, we need a kickboxing emoji! This is the closest one I could find because I know I’m getting stronger.)

Good #tzag, #fediverse. Got my #coffee guzzled and the #cats tended to. I'm off to open mat, grateful for the opportunity to roll today. I've been considering some sweeps I'd like to try live. On the fence about fight team. My shin is still pretty damaged so we'll see what happens. #mma #bjj #boxing #kickboxing

After a kickboxing workout this morning and a long walk this afternoon, my legs are a little achy now. It’s all part of growing stronger, but don’t ask me to go for a jog tonight.

Kickboxing was today’s workout. It’s such a fun way to exercise.

Yesterday was weightlifting day. Today was kickboxing day.

Tomorrow is a rest day, so just a walk or something to stretch my legs a little.
