Okay, so I saw this thing online about Conor McGregor’s “suit fu” and I was like, “What the hell is that?” Turns out, it’s basically him showing off some moves in a suit. Sounds kinda dumb, but I got curious and decided to give it a try myself. Figured it might be fun, and hey, maybe I’d learn something.
Getting Dressed
First things first, I needed a suit. Dug out my old one from the back of the closet – you know, the one I wore to that wedding a few years back. It was a bit dusty, but hey, it still fit… mostly. Squeezed myself into it, feeling a bit like a sausage in a casing. Shoes were next. Polished up my good ones, the ones I usually reserve for special occasions or job interviews.
Warm-Up Stretches
Now, I’m no athlete, but I figured I should probably stretch a bit before trying any fancy moves. Didn’t want to pull a hammy or something. Did some basic stretches like I remembered from gym class – you know, touching my toes (almost!), arm circles, the usual stuff. Felt a little silly doing it in a suit, but whatever.
Trying Out the Moves
Alright, time for the main event. I pulled up some videos of McGregor doing his thing. The guy’s pretty flexible, I gotta give him that. I started with some simple punches and kicks. Felt kinda stiff at first, the suit definitely restricts your movement. But after a few minutes, I started to loosen up a bit.
- Tried a few high kicks – almost lost my balance a couple of times.
- Threw some punches – felt like I was punching underwater.
- Even attempted a spinning backfist – yeah, that didn’t go so well. Nearly fell over and knocked over a lamp.
Realizations
Here’s the thing, this “suit fu” stuff is way harder than it looks. It’s not just about the moves, it’s about doing them in clothes that are designed for, well, not doing crazy acrobatics.
- Mobility is key: You really need to be flexible to pull off even the basic moves.
- Suits are restrictive: They’re not exactly designed for high kicks and spinning attacks.
- It’s a workout: I was actually sweating after a few minutes of this.
The Aftermath
So, after about 20 minutes of flailing around in my living room, I called it quits. My suit was a bit wrinkled, I was out of breath, and I had a newfound respect for McGregor’s athleticism. Would I recommend “suit fu” to others? Probably not. It’s more of a novelty thing than a practical form of exercise or self-defense. But hey, it was a fun experiment, and I got a good laugh out of it. Plus, I can now say I tried “suit fu.” Not many people can say that, right?
Maybe I’ll stick to regular workouts from now on. Or maybe I’ll just invest in a more flexible suit. Who knows?
