Greetings all,
I've been doing WC for a little over a month now and like all beginners am starting out with Sim Lim Tao. I'm really enjoying myself so far but I have a question. We do our class in a 'studio' type setting at a gym so there are no hanging bags, no wall bags, no boards, no wooden dummies... You get the picture. Basically it's just an empty studio with mats on the floor they use for other classes. We used yoga blocks last time to practice our punches which worked out pretty good. I'm curious though how we'll develop our other skills like increasing bone density through hitting wall bags or wooden boards and the lack of wooden dummies, even though I'm a LONG way from it, raises some questions. What do you guys think? Do you NEED all the equipment to effectively learn WC? Also what should I be looking for in terms of intensity of the classes? I don't walk out of class drenched in sweat like I've done 9 rounds of boxing or anything like that... the classes are actually pretty relaxed.
