Thinking of starting boxing once i get off shift work.

I've been to the gym before but i wanna try something different.

I've tried searching on google, but all it comes up with are places that are in the city, or Fitness First.

Does anyone know of a good place to go and train?

I don't have ambitions to become an amateur/professional boxer.

I want to do it to keep in shape and look after myself.

Cheers

All You Need Is Punching Shit Bruz... :)

Punchin is for poofs. Kicking is where its at. I really should start Tae Kwon Do again... :D

Though come to think of it... where is this "Maquarie Kickboxing" located Liz? Kickboxing has always intrigued me, probably because I always think of it as Tae Kwon Do on ROIDS... :)

There is a boxing centre in Kernel that my mate runs. PM me for the details.

Same thing happened to me when i googled ninjutsu, three in the city. I found 1 in canturbury though which is a little closer. Ilike ninjutsu much better than boxing. PM me for contact details if interested.

Having done boxing and some other forms of martial arts, i'd have to say the best i've done, and still do is Krav Maga. The weakness with those other forms of fighting is that they are bound by rules. Also there is no zen, enter the dragon bullshit in Krav Maga.

Krav is raw, use what you've got, fight as dirty as you need to, hits to the balls, hammer punched to the back of the neck.... et al, to win and get out.

Even if you never need to throw a punch in a threatened state, it's an awesome weekly cardio workout.

see my sig for a better explanation of Krav Maga

      Found the answer: it wont fit without a bit of work- you'd have to change the guards as well

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
