Hello all,
My question is tension of the whole body, but mainly the upper body. I try to keep loose in the hands, arms, shoulders and back, yet I still feel like I can't get loose.
Either I ease the pressure in my hands so much that my wrists bend and create bad form, or I feel like I tense up right as I'm about to throw a punch and feel like it's telegraphed. Also, what should tension in the legs be like? On the balls of the feet all the time or just back heel raised slightly?
I watch old fights of Ali, as he looks the most relaxed to me in the ring. Feet so light and bouncy, flicking the jab, with the counstant circling.
I on the other hand feel like Frankenstein taking mummy steps and arm punching or something.
I'm just down on myself because I have been boxing over a year and feel like I have hit a plateau and don't feel like I'm on the same level as guys at my gym who have been there about the same time.
