Stunt training is so good for my mental health, it really soothes my stress to get in the gym and fight a dozen stuntmen 💪😌

I love boxing!!! I always find a deep sense of peace and calm after leaving the gym. Some times you just need to get out of your head and into your body and just punch things, ya know?

karojhe.bsky.social•27 days ago

Martial Arts are so fun! I do ITF Taekwon-do, which includes quite a bit of boxing.

hurdled.bsky.social•27 days ago

Girl, just do it. I thought I hated exercise and now a year into 🏳️‍⚧️ I am addicted to martial arts. Don’t let anyone stop you!

erictheorange.bsky.social•27 days ago

is the UK anti-boxing?

theangelremiel.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's generally anti letting trans people do anything ever.

theboobtaster.bsky.social•27 days ago

yeah they banned boxing after the rocky movies inspired kids to box each other. it’s actually a really tragic event in british history. J.K Rowling even spoke about it. google “J.K Rowling boxing” to find out more.

revenantash.bsky.social•27 days ago

and also the brain damage. but that goes hand in hand with living in britain, i feel

"Not in the face!"

beligerant-retailr.bsky.social•27 days ago

Well, if it’s the combat you like, give fencing a try.

This just compounds my belief that if DC makes a New Gods movie, they should cast you as Big Barda.

rassilonsintern.bsky.social•27 days ago

When I first saw your videos, I thought I found a role model, because I don’t have any older siblings and I really liked what you were saying and how you presented yourself.

After the Identity video, I realized that anyone could be a role model for me. It’s been amazing watching you thrive.

Ok, but don't get punchy on us.

No one needs a philosopher who's gone punchy.

doomrater.bsky.social•27 days ago

You should come to the Sims 1 Home Single Story world on VRChat sometime and tell me how the boxing equipment feels there. If you're into VR and all that, you know, no pressure

alzbeth.bsky.social•27 days ago

Boxing is awesome training. I love it

ahronnee.bsky.social•27 days ago

I have a standing punching bag in my home gym (aka, the garage). I find punching it is a great stress reliever. Can't say I'm any good at it, but I, too, enjoy it.

masmagolek.bsky.social•27 days ago

Ya know, I'm somewhat of a boxer myself...

*Works in a wearhouse*

cassiecore.bsky.social•27 days ago

I’m somewhat of a boxer myself (took part in the anti Christian Chinese rebellion in 1900)

laddical.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm somewhat of a boxer myself (has cold lunches the day after Christmas so the staff can have a day off)

zoeytherat.bsky.social•27 days ago

I really want to do boxing, but I live in a backwater country and even though I pass pretty well, I'm terrified of separate sex changing rooms, especially in boxing clubs. So I go to a pole dance class where they only have one changing room and don't bring up my obvious transness

jifty.bsky.social•27 days ago

Don't y'all have an entire day dedicated to boxing?

:P

chrispmueller.bsky.social•27 days ago

Isn’t it neat to discover something about your self as an adult?

denaemichele.bsky.social•27 days ago

I love kickboxing but the gyms are so expensive!

berserkrhino.bsky.social•27 days ago

Solution to both issues challenge the NHS and Parliament to a boxing match. Winner take all.

Embracing tradition with the "jacked philosopher-wrestler" character arc

samanthaduke.bsky.social•27 days ago

Haven't done it in a while now, I miss throwing kicks & elbows at the heavy bag

illcaesar.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's fun. There's a reason why I trained. There's also like to particularly glaring reasons I stopped and wouldn't recommend that you keep doing it.

pastpresented.bsky.social•27 days ago

Currently you have a rather elegant nose. Some hobbies are better for noses than others.

Do the British not like boxing? I thought they had a whole holiday for it

rokhausen.jeffbezosmicrowavingahotdog.com•27 days ago

If not for... your face?

bravemom.bsky.social•27 days ago

In Portland OR there is a trans boxing/self defense club

taliabhatt.itch.io•27 days ago

Honestly same

leia-althea.bsky.social•27 days ago

So right now you are boxing, but not as a hobby? Because so many brits deserve to be punched in the face?

umbreonmessiah.bsky.social•27 days ago

Just turning yourself into the next Sigourney Weaver, I see.

maddremor.bsky.social•27 days ago

Wouldn't that drive up the insurance cost for your face?

Punch me in the face plz 🥊

Hear me out: pro wrestling.

hounsell.bsky.social•27 days ago

"Pro" wrestling is just physical acting. Either way Cassandro might be an interesting movie for @theabigailthorn.bsky.social, @devononearth.bsky.social, @postoctobrist.bsky.social, to review on @killjamesbond.bsky.social . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doDM5I07fxc

Sterling vs Thorn could be a hell of a feud.

theangelremiel.bsky.social•27 days ago

Or go proper Hollywood with it and get Timeless Toni Storm involved.

wurz.bsky.social•27 days ago

Purely for the in-jokes, tag Abi with AZM - training hard and fast to become a Joshi.

theangelremiel.bsky.social•27 days ago

Harley Cameron go on Kill James Bond

swordandwaistcoat.bsky.social•27 days ago

You might be able to find a trans or leftist boxing club to train at. There’s a growing number of them and they’re tend to have both a way better culture and better training.

cuppabakedbeans.bsky.social•27 days ago

Is there no boxing in the UK?

freyafaust.bsky.social•27 days ago

As someone who craves physicality, competition, and borderline violence, roller derby's been pretty good to me and has been more welcoming than most.

freyafaust.bsky.social•27 days ago

Follow up to say that I've played against some lovely English teams and found them rad af.

I actually _heard_ Abigail’s _voice_ in my head with the *Abi-questioning-tone*

Who says 3 question marks are 2 too many???

If you’ve not heard Abi *speak* go watch Philosophy Tube & listen to Kill James Bond.

I’ll wait… you’re welcome… Abigail Thorn rocks our socks.
