Well was Sparring and this git kept hitting me on arms woke up this morning found bruises on arm's im really angry at him to be honest i feel like being spiteful back to him but don't know if i should he was doing it on purpose aswell he laughed when we finished he is cocky shite.
:lol: Then hit his arms back! I got some dirty tricks that can give you make his arms looks like bruised bananas, but I'm saving for another post. Why don't you check back later today. I've been busy working on a guide that sheds some light on this kinda spite.
Getting hit in the arms is part of boxing... ;)
That's one of those things you gotta get used to if you can't stay away or put them away quickly.
he was laughing at you ? this cunt has some experiance mate or at the same level as you ? don't be someones punching bag mate. fucking hell. cash his check ! ;)
You're supposed to roll with punches that are blocked on the arms. What happens when fighters keep their arms and gloves in tight to the body and sides of the head is that they will just sit there and absorb punches. You're never supposed to just sit there and absorb punches. By having your arms so tightly locked to your body you hinder your ability to throw punches: how can you throw punches if both your arms are busy blocking? You're not in a position to punch.
By rolling with the punch while blocking you take much of the steam off of their punch as it no longer has a flush target to transfer all of its force into cleanly. By rolling away you also put yourself into a position to punch and therefore counter. For example you block a left hook on your right arm and roll with it to your left as you block (weight now on left foot) putting you in a position to throw a left hook yourself. Think about that for a second and work it out in your head.
Today its pretty popular to just sit there and absorb punches. In the 20's or 30's you would have small 8 oz nothing gloves that did not much more than cover the fist. You wouldn't want to get hit with one of those anywhere. You also notice that fighters of these eras never held there arms up to the sides of their heads. They depended on slipping and rolling more than they did on blocking and it shows in the way that they fought.
Sparring again soon i'll let you know what happens and thanks for advice Thomas :coolclick:
Yep CC Thomas. My coaches often tell me to use my guard more but just to absorb the punches as you say and I feel more vulnerable doing this than attampting to punch out although I know the way i try to fight out of a tight spot is not always good.
Do you think this still works well when on the ropes and you have less space for movement? Or when you opponent is punching in flurrys?
Just a little update i learned to roll with the punches, plus i took your advice and hit him back hard on the arms. And he didn't like a taste of his own medicine and it got very spiteful, since i posted this i have learnt a lot more and im a much better all round fighter. Plus i had my 1st amateur fight not long ago and i won on points so i've got a lot more experience now. But Thanks for your advice guys/girls CCs.
If it hurts to get hit on the arms, perhaps you need to condition them more.
Its fine now Donny that was posted in April, i have had my 1st amateur fight since i posted fight. So im more experienced it doesn't bother me anymore.Quote:

I felt little bit tired in the 3rd round so i cruised that round just to get a 2nd wind, then i come out for the final round and i basically used the same tactics as i did in the 1st 2 rounds using my speed, movement, jab, combinations, my opponent couldn't match me in hand speed so i was able to get my shots off and win exchanges. It was a great learning experience and i learnt a lot.
When i won it was amazing feeling because i really love boxing, and it was a pleasure to compete in my favorite sport.
Understand completely, congratulations!
I'm one month out from my next fight. Should peak on time hopefully!
Whens your next one?
BTW Ice,the whole point of whomping someone on the arms
If you cant get through their guard with a pointing shot,it will slow them down some,and make their arms start to drop
Hitting on/just over the hip does the same for the legs right?Quote:

cc back Ice,go back and watch any of B-hops "dull" fights,he's pounding the other guys thigh like it owes him money.
By the later rounds he just starts out manuevering the other guy
By those later rounds Hopkins can just impose his will by superior mobility
in relation to the original query I believe the only way to grow accustomed to getting hit on the arms is to get hit on the arms in training. I'm lucky that starting at 10 I grew accustomed before it could hurt too much!
I do suppose that press ups and pull ups would help to harden all of the soft muscle tissue and ease the pain also.
Sounds like he wanted to get hit in the face and/or nuts.. prolly a few kidney shots.Quote:
