slapping yourself in the face

[JayCoe]

If you do it, please record it and let us watch. Watching someone slap themselves endlessly for a few minutes, until eventually they begin full on hitting themselves, would be flat out hilarious.

Seriously mate, I doubt it'd work. What is it you expect to happen? You 'condition your face'? How? Your skull will thicken? No, that wont happen. Bones sometimes slightly thicken under reoccuring pressure (i.e resistance training) but slapping yourself don't do that, in the slightest. How good your 'chin' is lies on two things: 1) the opposition. If they are very good, or just 'lucky' and cause you some real damage, i.e broken nose or something, then most will throw in the towel, but not all, which brings you onto 2) your will power, your state of mind.

I was going like a maniac and people were watching me, so I started hitting my nose with my right, I cant really explain why I guess, maybe just to show them it didnt hurt

You cried afterwards admit it.

think it will condition your face for a hit if say I was to do this at night starting off with medium hits on each side for a minute and then working up to harder blows for longer lengths of time?

think it will age me faster though?

I'm glad i'm not alone in the 'hit yourself by accident department. Doing pad work the other week i threw a right uppercut that somehow missed the pad altogether and clocked me straight in the face. I felt like an absolute dork. I still can't figure out how I did it

You think that's bad! When I was a young 'un I was training to be a joiner and managed to hit my teeth with the hammer when aggressively knocking a nail in! Thankfully it only smashed the bottom half of one of my front teeth - could have been a lot worse.

I think it's just what happens when you go hell-for-leather - you're not 100% in control.

YES....slapping your face and working your way up to full blown punches is an excellent drill that i would recommend you to incorporate into your routine...this is so hardcore many of you may not even have the balls to give it a go, while only a few, truly gifted athletes can handle this type of intensive training.....
