Crazy Pac Training Methods

yeah, bamboo or medicine ball, its the same thing... I dont think its actually the same thing, being hit with the medicine ball is more absorping blunt force of the ball (like a punch). Whereas with the stick, because of the smaller surface area and harder texture, i'm sure you'd feel more "pain". It could be a good idea doing both. But obviously Pac can do it like that because he's a pro and has been training a long time. Dempsey mentions the medicine ball trick in a book of his, and he recommends not using this technique if your new to the sport as you could damage your organs/internal tissues.

Moi Tai fighters use this bamboo stick method all the time. It helps strengthen your muscles so you take a shot better and it increases pain tolerance. If anything, Ricky Hatton taking a medecine ball to the body hurts a lot more though.. but it's pretty much the same thing. yeah, bamboo or medicine ball, its the same thing...

Do you think it will do him much good though, Roach disagree's with the technique and the video makes it look like he's being tenderized.

its called body hardening many mma fighters do this as well

Did Pacquiao train on kickboxing back then? I don't believed he did. Steward keep commenting on that cuz of his calves but he confused it with Thais.

I've never seen anyone do this b4. Thanks for posting the vid It's a very common practice in asia and martial arts.. Bamboo hurts like a mother fuker **** yeah, dude! have you ever seen the episode of jackass where Johnny Knoxville fights a sumo wrestler and everytime he loses he gets hit with that bamboo sword stick? It was one of those! lol We where doing it for the hell of it lol

It is a Muay Thai method which i believe pacquiao practiced when he was young. Its the same as kick boxers kicking bamboos' to kill the nerves on their shins.

so pacquiao's training goal is to become the first champ with fibromyalgia?

I use tha same method on me steak before i cooks it......if i was manny id keep an eye out .....if ya see a new BBQ turn up...start worrying!!!

It ain't BS That looks painful.

it hurts dude.. I've tried it a long time ago. it was a different kind of stick we where using though. it was one of those bamboo stick they use in martial arts. Bamboo hurts like a mother fuker

Whats next? Wax on, wax off?

Sounds like BS to me, wouldn't his body be covered in bruises/marks if this was true? It ain't BS

I don't know how much you can "kill" the nerves as much as just build a tolerance for pain. When I went to Mexico a few years back, I went to some famous boxing gyms and they had some training methods that would be frowned upon here in the U.S. They let a chiwawa bite their nuts? :lol1:
