Most of the rest of the world uses the metric system actually...it's not like it's hard to just go to google and type 'what is 612kg in pounds'. Now the stone thing, that should be phased out already...but I believe so should the US system of measurement.
Yea, I trained and competed in regular boxing. I used to do tae kwon do, but not kickboxing. Wanting to learn ju jitsu soon
Everlast is a good brand...they've made boxing stuff since forever. Wouldn't be surprised if they have kickboxing gear

I think serp is pulling you guys' euro-chains.
Though I partially agree on the stone front. I have no problem remembering what a stone is in lbs, it just seems like a not-very-useful increment for weighing humans. Crates full of textiles, and fish, maybe.

If you're really interested in the self defense aspect, Krav Maga would probably be best since they teach you how to disarm someone with a weapon. You can know MMA all you want to and still get beat down with a bat or stabbed. If it's partial self defense / fitness, then any would be useful.

Well, I suppose it's no more goofy than measuring height in feet and inches, vs. just inches. I think the basic issue is that it really doesn't carry any immediate context to anyone outside of the (very few) people who have been using it most of their life. I know what 5' 11" looks like, I have to do math to get into my head what 16 stone 4 pounds is.

This is true I suppose, but like you say it's what you grow up using, I have a very good concept stone. I've got used to using lbs through football but if somebody says, "I'm 86kg" (I think most of Europe uses kg for BW), I have absolutely no concept of that even though I know the conversion.

I wasn't insinuating that you should let someone hit you in the face unprotected, I was saying you should stick out the smelly gear for a lesson or two. I just got the impression that you haven't really sparred yet, and know if this sort of thing is really something you would like to do. I know way to many people investing $ in gear for something they do once.

That's why I said in a non lifting shirt lol
Gf got it when she joined. Actually a good place for her. $20/mo with free tanning.
No more $30/mo tanning membership plus she can take a guest. She's not trying to get huge or anything, so works for her. Most gyms up there are $50/month. I'll prolly join World's gym when I move up there~Murray State Crew~

You know you live in a expensive country when its cheaper postal to get something sent from America to your doorstep in Norway than it is within your own country and having to pick it up at the post office.
