Boxing in Phnom Penh
I've taken up Kun Khmer and LOVE it, it's the best workout I've ever done......... BUT, it looks like my hips aren't built for it, I can feel my right hip grinding the bone and I see problems on the horizon.
Does anyone know a decent boxing gym not involving kicks??? I just want to do regular western boxing / pad work, I'm not ready for a hip replacement just yet.

Re: Boxing in Phnom Penh
You will still be using your legs/hips in boxing. When I was boxing, most of my pains were in my legs and specifically my knees. I suppose wheelchair boxing may avoid much of that.

Re: Boxing in Phnom Penh
Haha okay maybe even kneeling boxing.
I know boxing or even running uses your legs, but the intensity and angles of kicks are taking a real tole on my right hip, it's just must less intense I'm sure you'll agree.

Re: Boxing in Phnom Penh
tbh i dont see why whoever is training you at the Kun Khmer classes cant just allow you to just box, it makes their job easier haha kickboxing does take a bigger toll on your body for sure but as i say ive got a contact who teaches boxing hereHappyChappy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:59 amLambo surely in not doomed for a hip replacement.

Re: Boxing in Phnom Penh
Well they're doing group training so I assume I have to follow some sort of process but now you mention it I could always tell them to leave out the kicks and knees.....Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:16 amtbh i dont see why whoever is training you at the Kun Khmer classes cant just allow you to just box, it makes their job easier haha kickboxing does take a bigger toll on your body for sure but as i say ive got a contact who teaches boxing hereHappyChappy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:59 amLambo surely in not doomed for a hip replacement.

Re: Boxing in Phnom Penh
kun khmer fight club for now. I've signed up to the end of December so I think I'm gonna stick it out and hope the hip gets better. Failing that I'm gonna have to look elsewhere.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:33 amwhere abouts are you training? i could always come down and train too as i train bothHappyChappy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:21 amWell they're doing group training so I assume I have to follow some sort of process but now you mention it I could always tell them to leave out the kicks and knees.....Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 11:16 amtbh i dont see why whoever is training you at the Kun Khmer classes cant just allow you to just box, it makes their job easier haha kickboxing does take a bigger toll on your body for sure but as i say ive got a contact who teaches boxing hereHappyChappy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 10:59 amLambo surely in not doomed for a hip replacement.
