Nutter in the gym!

I was training in the gym yesterday and finished off working on punching from the fence. So there i was happy as Larry talking to the bag minding my own business. When i got back to work two of the lads on the team said such and such was asking if you are ok or a bit tapped talking to the bag then punching it once. They said i always do it.

It made me laugh really, i said why didnt they just ask me and i would have explained. Apparently because they thought i was some kind of nutter. Anyway has anyone else experienced anyhting like this?

I get it all the time mate. I'm used to it now, most people know what i do where i train anyway but yes you do get funny looks specially when you head butt and bite the bag and they ask " what kind of sport or martial art is that"?
and i say "does it look like a sport or art? but after i explain it they get the bigger picture.

Your not on your own there Lochie,

I get it most training sessions mate when doing bag work.
I had someone the other week as why I was slapping the bag instead of using a punch, and before I could answer said " well only sissies slap ".

After he had saw a full blown pre emptive strike from the fence after a nice pre empt question he then said " on the other hand, I dont think I would like that on my chops ".

You always get someone who doesnt ask and just wanna make comments. once they see it and its explained. everything goes back to normal

hahaha, this is something that comes up all the time. I have two bags in my back garden and sometimes I see my neighbours looking out the back window at me...they look sort of confused/horrified/entertained....I must explain it to them one of these days
