The man is out, and the smoke detector is beeping.. I am too short to check what kind of batteries it needs, but he wants to pick them up, before he gets home. Does anyone know what kind of batteries this thing takes? Thanks.
not in the sense of tangible items you possess or explicit services provided to you. The law of diminishing returns applies quite well in my opinion. If I don't have enough space in my apartment and nowhere to plant a garden, I really want a house. Once I have a house, I might want to get a bigger and nicer house or one closer to work or family. But once I have that, I'm not going to be very interested in moving again, even if it's to a house I actually like better than the one I have. Because the one I have is working out fine, and it's not worth it to me to pack up and move, for the small benefit difference I would see in the third move. Read Maslow on the hierarchy of human needs. Eventually we want self actualization, to be the best we can be. That can go on indefinitely, but its not about accumulating things as much as it is having experiences and focusing our attention on different issues or concerns.
The only good i've ever used bag gloves for were bags, obviously. I use 12 ounce training gloves all around now, i've completely given up on the bag gloves. You should definitely get some.
More than likely the reason your instructor wants you to wear the bag gloves is to harden your knuckles. Thais are pretty hardcore sometimes and hand and shin conditioning are important aspects of the sport that are generally ignored stateside. Having said that, I'd still recommend picking up a good pair of training gloves. Training with a heavier glove can improve hand speed and endurance. Split your training between the bag gloves and the training gloves and you'll reap the benefits of both. (Training gloves are usually 12 ounces, those huge sparring gloves are usually 16 or 18 if you're a safety freak)
