Try It: Thai Boxing "Stomach Conditioning"

I went to a new Thai boxing conditioning class today and wanted to share with the joy that the instructor referred to as "stomach conditioning."

It's really simple.

1. Get a partner.

2. Let the partner put on wraps and gloves.

3. Set a timer for three minutes and rest your hands on top of your head with your elbows facing out.

4. Let your partner PUNCH YOU IN THE STOMACH until time runs out. This is a four part combination of jab, cross, left hook, right hook over and over and over again.

5. When time runs out, immediately, without a break, reset the timer for three minutes.

6. Let the partner PUNCH YOU AT DOUBLE TIME

See? Anyone can do it.

Afterwards, clutch your stomach until the nausea passes. Avoid funny people. Laughing hurts like a bitch.

Have you done the thing where you bang shins together yet? That's always good for a week of limping.

You are crazy. Lmao. That's when I would have laughed at the teacher and walked out.

Sounds like a good excuse to just punch people you don't like. Be sure to carefully select said partner.

I'm with Alie. I'd run out of there without a refund.
