Tape is such a great tool.Quote:

I don't think I missed one left hook from the outside all fight!
I collect fights for just this reason,even crap fights.I want my fighters to see from outside as it were,whats working,and why its working.Quote:

This is the same reason I have them write down combinations,and then they have to explain to me the purpose of every shot in the combination,you have to know what your trying to achieve with every punch,otherwise,your just pissing away energy,or biding your time
hey monkey how about some tips from those drills you mentioned? arrow weaving, 8 point blocking or better a vid that goes with it?
Ok,real quick,8 point is a total blocking system developed by Bruce Lee,and Ed Parker,its just a matter of adapting it,and the counter strikes to boxing.
The arrow drill is a substitute for the slip line
On a slip line or a double end bag,you can time things,but if Im controling it via the arrow Im wapping you with,you have to slip on the fly,rather then just a rythmic motion.
Basically I stand in front of a fighter,and tap which part I want them to slip with,shoulders,head,etc
Be able to do it when it isnt expected
I Like it! :)Quote:

Weight is what they put behind every hard punch so aiming to keep them from putting that into their punch by using angles and pressure well for example would have to help surely?
I don't think my knowledge of boxing on the inside is good enough to comment on that at all.
I too would be interested in more comments on this!
Well Sharla, you touched on my basic theory on heavy handed guys there too.Quote:

nice, I'd folks some rep but I've got to spread it round first (sounds like a disease:rolleyes:) do you do the visual reaction one as well? eg hold a mitt for a jab, when you move a finger (or a pad if working combos or whatever cue you want to use) your partner hits the pad. Fun to do moving, checks your balance, footwork etcQuote:

Nobody is going to be shouting out #1 or #3 in the ring,give me the combos I want,at the angle I want,when I hold the mitts out in position for them
