Tense your abs while skipping and try doing it on an empty stomach late at night or in the morning. To put it in lamens terms the stitch is your guts slipping down from the bouncing, having food in your stomach and intestines just makes it worse.

People let this be a lesson to you about martial arts training. This is not uncommon in their world In our boxing club they don't get stitches when skipping. Skipping for 20 minutes should be easy peasy lemon squeazy. MMA is full of bums. i'm not saying it to be nasty, I'm saying it so people don't waste precious teenage years doing that **** like I did.

It is true that boxing is a superior sport. I would say most boxers would beat MMA bums on fitness alone. I demonstrated this to a naysayer in the gym. the fat blob black belt was done after a few jabs. he was breathless at the intensity of the in and out boxing footwork. I hadn't even started! MMA bums like to stand in one place.

i started mma frst and then got into boxing, i like mma nd boxing each has there strength and weaknesses.

i do skipping on an empty stomach but once i start reaching 50 i strt cramping up so i have to take a break nd then skip again which doesnt give me a good enough work out.

could it perhaps be mi breathing? cause ive found that latly wen i swim im stitching up aswell. i just do a regular breath in and out through mi nose

thnx guys

50? Lol that is a joke. that must be like one minute of skipping. trust me boxing has the strenghts and MMa has the weaknesses as you just demonstrated. There should be no reason for getting stitches when skipping for that long unless you are training like a bum

That is why they get kicked in the head so easily.

From the sound of it theres nothing you can really do except keep skipping rope, like I said just tense your abs, jump low and on your toes, empty stomach and do it on a mat or something softer than concrete. Those are the only things I can think of that would help. I personally havent had a problem with stitches for a long time and its probably simply because I forced myself to work through the stitches and my body got used to it or something. Just work at it hard and you'll improve.

You dumb prick. Did you even read the guys post? He said he's just gotten back into training. If anyone takes a long break from training and then tries to do what they used to do, they will get things like cramp, stitches etc etc.

Just work it back up slowly. That's literally all there is to it. Start out like you were beginning again and it will all come back very quickly. Stitches is just a case of being out of shape. Once you get into it again it will all be good.

Doesn't matter whether it's boxing, MMA, general fitness. Don't be an ass Vastine. Either help or shut up.
