Lose the brain and the windpipe and the nose and the eyes and … what was that movie about some boxers? … “something City” circa 1970’s… i’ll try to net search it later.
…
Boiling … yes i have.
Shaking/tremor practice… related? yes. That is related to the long term effect of kungfu exercise and the use and release in the nervous system.
The boxer has had more experience taking punches but his energy level and movement is much lower at least in the kungfu I do.
Breaking bones (not even know it til later) and taking hits hasn’t stopped me until the fights over.
Just like all the old movies.
Stumblefist,
Thanks for the information on the movie. I’ll have to watch it sometime.
Every boxer I’ve met has neurological problems. I met Joe Frazier at a party once. He was a very nice guy but the hits to the head have hurt. He still works out every day but all he can do is shadowbox and hit the bag. Even the amateurs have problems after a few years. It would probably be (somewhat) better if they didn’t use gloves.
