sage & onion
But why do lovely ladies want to box????
^ian^
So they can get hit on? :shock: sage & onion
Hahahahahahahaha asc_26
We'll not box too much to avoid the muscles, also skipping rope before the boxing starts. Zam, it really depends on the boxing trainer. Avoid eating carbohydrates too. :wink: asc_26
No Worries Ian, i can handle stalkers now. :D :D asc_26
Boxing is a physical fitness too not only for men. And it's not boring. :D bushra21
it helps me from killing people.
also, it keeps my blood pressure down and helps with my stress and what not..
and its fun :D asc_26
I'll remove that photo soon. Its purpose is to inspire ladies to try boxing like what you & me do as a form of physical fitness. and ohh..did i mentioned that boxing can also help ease our depression and tensions at work? :wink: sage & onion
What is your "What not"???? Smelly_Melly Yikes, I ask a simple question and it turns into a Dating Forum. Well I get to Dubai in January, so keep me posted as to how you went with the new boxing (and dating) life. Thanks for the link too. sage & onion
Hahahahaha, DF at its very best :wink: weary_heart
Kick boxing is more fun! zam
Well then put all the info needed here, where, how, when :idea: weary_heart
Here's what on my list:
1. Big Apple, Emirates Towers - 04 3198661 (5.30 - 6.15pm)
2. Rooftop Fitness Center, Moevenpick Hotel - 04 3366000 (6 - 7pm)

There is also in Metropolitan Hotel - need to check the timings and day. asc_26 Thanks for that info weary. smelly_melly can check on that once he/she's already in dubai. I'll check on that too. :wink: Smelly_Melly
Im a 'He' (smelly_melly is cos Im living in Melbourne). bear I've been very interested in Finding someone to spar with... I used to box... and I'd love to get back into it. If you are an amature, I could give you a few pointers and possibly help with technique. Was Under 19's county champ 2 years back in Texas. asc_26
Noted dearest. :D asc_26
Bear, me and zam don't have any intention to box that would lead us inside the ring. Ours is only for physical fitness...hehehe.. u missed out my photo. 8)
Also, i don't spar with men. :D bear
Ah... I could very easily take you through the training regime without putting you in a ring or even ever punching anyone.
It's a hard work out and you learn a bit of self defence as well. :D :D :D :D :D
and yes i'm afraid i did miss out on your picture :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: Smelly_Melly
Im pretty much in it for the same reason, dont really want to fight anyone, but want to get fit and also have a bit of co-odination to be able to defend myself when in need. bear Like I said... i could take you through the training regime. asc_26
When would that be? Shall we wait for smelly_melly? sage & onion

Come join me in general chat and lets give this guy something to think about asc_26 Anyone of you here watched the boxing last night held in Nevada, Las Vegas? I've watched it via live coverage, the main event is quite disappointing..only lasted for 3 rounds, not worth a ticket. That was really a dramatic bout. Bear, Zam where are you? zam
Arrrggg I miss this one, sorry!

There is one match coming up w/c involves a guy famously as Pacman, will post about it shortly. Dont miss that one!
My fridays and saturdays are exclusive days for my family :lol: Now em back but since its the 7th bday of my son today, will log out a bit early! :wink: asc_26 Happy Birthday to your Baby Boy zam... hug him for me. :D Today is the bday of my colleague too, im preparing something here in the office.. surprises..surprises... :D sage & onion
Congrats on your Son's 7th birthday asc_26
Best trilogy in boxing history! El Terrible gave up on the 3rd round during the WBO International Superfeatherweight Title bout. I'm checking on Torres of columbia, he's a southpaw. I would love to see JMM & Baby Face Assassin inside the ring too, all the belts are with them :boxing: bear
Any time you like weary_heart Bear, Where to buy good gloves and other kickboxing stuff? Tnx. bear There are a few good places i've seen... one's in Ibn Batutta in the china part, one in City Center near Ikea, and one in Emirates mall under magic planet. weary_heart Thanks. Need to check it tomorrow. bear You want gloves as close to Sparing Gloves or Fingered Bag Gloves for training or sparing; not the standard American Boxing gloves, they are just too heavy for a fast martial art. Here are some examples below.

American Boxing Gloves
These are what you don't want... Notice that they are thicker and heavier.

Bag Gloves
These are gloves with thin padding, best for professional sparing and practice. The Fingered Gloves (Right) are the type that are used in the UFC.

Tissue Gloves
These are your best option. They are cheap and the perfect glove for training and light sparing. These are the type used in martial arts tournaments for Karate, Taekwondo, Judo, and Jujitsu. weary_heart
I think, that is what I need Bear.
Also, I need to get something for support for my feet. asc_26 Sparing Gloves - mine is colour pink. :oops: sage & onion
No way, not pink :lol: asc_26
Why not dad? That was the allowance you gave me before and i bought sparing gloves remember? I do box & still manage to be feminine. :D weary_heart
Hee hee pink?!!
I love red. redmatrice
How could you love me if you don't even know who I am :) weary_heart
We were speaking about gloves!!! asc_26 ^^^nice try RED. :lol: redmatrice
But it didn't works :lol: :lol: :lol: weary_heart
Save yourself. :wink: asc_26 No worries Red, you'll have your luck next time. Cheer Up! :D redmatrice :lol: :lol: :lol: can wait to the next time hurry hurry i wanna try again :oops: asc_26
Patience boy! :lol: redmatrice Ok i'm waiting

Hey I saw pink gloves from Reebok - I almost bought it. hahaha I took light blue instead. (If there was orange - I would have gotten it) hahaha
My trainer will be on MBC next Dec. 8 hee hee sage & onion
I really cannot accept Pink Gloves for boxing, whatever next :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: weary_heart
It is so girlie - and the others may tease me for my pink gloves hahaha
It is so funny, it is very obvious that Im so fickle-minded (and break balls sometimes! haha). I took the red gloves but after 2 hours I went back to the shop and exchanged it to color blue. (Im such a pain!) :lol: asc_26
Definitely you'll not accept pink sparing gloves unless you're gay like ---. 8)
Pink colour is good for me. :D weary_heart
It is pastel pink!!!! Jasmine777 Hi.. Does somebody know where can i buy boxing stuff in Dubai? Thanks for the help..;) Jasmine xero_
Hi there, you can buy from Al Noon Sports in karama just next to the pyramid bullding if youre looking for a wide variety of gloves at a cheap price. if you want it fast, then just go to any sand & sand sports and buy a TABO or Century product. i vouch for the TABO since i have some of their products and the gloves i bought lasted for 4 yrs on regular use for muay thai. KAMOSAS HIT
are there any pro boxing in Dubai? that is what i need to know
are there any challengers in Dubai?
are there any one that can step in with me? :evil:
