Its aspect as regards Boxing, your thoughts ;D
I'm not sure i'm on the right wavelength here but if you mean singularity as in individualism then I think it is really something that needs to be recognized in boxing.
I think some techniques/styles work for fighters with particular builds that won't be anywhere near as successful for others. Some trainers i've known in the past really seemed to enjoy training guys that physically looked similar to themselves and I wonder if that's really just because they have a better idea of what will work for them than other students.
If you mean singularity as in training alone for boxing the i think it's very hard. You really need a few good training partners, who can push you just far enough skills and fitness wise to train your reactions and to train the correct responses. I have done partner drills in Japan with a guy that was my weight and it made such a huge difference over a very short period of time. I could never get that kind of improvement here in Australia with few training partners my own weight etc. Training here i just become slow and lumbersome and heavy handed.
OK one more thought - if you mean singularity as in training a single thing in a session I'm not sure. Sometimes it can be very good to nail a single thing but i think you want to make sure you then apply that while on the move in shadow or moving around a bag, not just standing still.
Singularity as in training a single thing all week then that's bad. I have previously loved endurance workouts. Something about being totally stuffed at then end of it and the confidence i get from being able to make myself do the full distance or time I'd decided when i was fresh. Still if I favour that too much then the lack of strength and especially correct core training it will lead to injury.
As controversial is it may be I also believe the reverse. Trying to train for boxing without a good aerobic base will make it difficult to get the results you need. Boxing is not a 100 m sprint and if you are lucky enough to have a really good training session with lots of intense partner work or sparring you'll need an aerobic base to get the most out of that before you kark it.
OK after all that you may have meant another type of singulaity but I gave it a go! ;D
As in Conciousness, a bit like Yoda ;D. Clarity of purpose, making everything work together, with thought and action as one, attaining Perfection. Ways it can be done. :confused:
Faith in knowing you can do something can be gained only by doing it first, there's only place for that.
Run though what you have to do like a movie in your head first.
At the end of the day if you dont think something will happen,it wont.
So you just spread that same truth out further.
Your brains links cannot tell the difference between thoughts and reality in those matters so there is the practice to get it perfect,there is also the practice to attract that law to you.
Maybe a guided meditation if they are not the kind to be able to do so on their own.I'd go through the change room,the ref talk, the hand tapeing, the walk in, the first look at the opponent, feel the crowds energy, hear the crowd, right though the whole thing.The feelings and emotions of the win and having their arm held up would help secure it into their being too.
That would create a kind of neurological pathway that would open up all the channels to be able to flow into the zone faster.
The steps have to be,for anything to succeed: Know what you want first (so that it is really your own will and joy at being in it). Plan it, know where you are going with it, practice it, then go there.
Andre, just finnished something guess what, ;D. Which stabalises the Neoruphysical pathways while exercising, but discussing with people in the field those in white coats not vans. Im starting to wonder or have doubts, about everything in memory starting there,im toying with the idea that memory is in everything, its not as a reflex action, theres something else. Your thoughts.
I agree. I know you can actually go back through your dna and recapture family memories that are recorded there.I've seen people come back out with working formulas etc.
You do realize alot of people will think we are crazy here.
I think you with your stuff are more into the everything is linked, we are actually all one.
That works too like a sea and we are drops within it. rivers flowing, streams running, Some are still running the opposite way though.;D
Also energy has memory,frequency too.
It can be stored and captured then transmitted through terriphim or crystal like radio waves.
People can too.
Energy is created by conciousness, trouble is all the senses are looking out, not in. We dont react to are selves but others, we combat then not now, interesting ;D
It is, we strive for self worth, being separate form others. But without them we couldnt function or relate to this level of being. Bit of a catch 22 some of us can put ourselves in because then our material senses are the only ones firing and searching ever outward.
The other senses, (like intuition) (which is where this is heading;D) : the senses that can look within are turned off by the outer falseness and judgments we make off our material senses.
Could be two realities mate :-\. The material one could well be just a figment for experiences sake.
Once you go within it becomes clearer as you well know.
I also believe that by only looking at something (the world and others) only one way; you can fire out of one side of your brain more than the other. Have you tried covering one eye to block out the receptors on that one side? I think the results would change for the better with one blocked and for the worse with the other blocked.
Maybe even better still with some people with both blocked out :-\.
I agree with this and i think it's huge not just for boxing but even for the very basics of maintaining a healthy life style. My sis is quite overweight and in trying to encourage her to exercise and eat better I really can only go so far. While she doesn't feel that it's possible for her to be a healthy person she will feel nothing but uncomfortable pressure from me. She won't get excited about anything or volunteer her own exercise ideas or even look at a healthy cook book. :(Quote:

Yeah i guess a lot can be great for developing good habits etc. Partner drills on the move worked well for me if they were fast and intense. Sparring helped but was not always repetitive enough in technically good ways. I think through habit pathways will be cemented but confident thoughts underpin it all.Quote:

I saw a program about how a guy was able to pretend he was psychic. He actually showed a word on paper in the periferal vision of volunteers that they were not conscious of. He then asked them all to pick a random word off of a page of a newspaper. They all believed they'd made a free, uninfluenced decision but they all picked the word shown to them before in their peripheral vision.
It makes you wonder just how much little things influence us on a day by day basis and how much work we may have to put into being positive and not being overly effected by the bad/stressful stuff!
Its finding Truth rather than Illusion, theres a lot of it about ;D
Yeah I agree, we blanket the truth with what we were taught to think feel and see. As soon as weve judged something its in a box and away from us full experience is then lost.
I said to my daughter today the one great thing you need to know and keep is it is always up to you how you react to anything or anyone (even the worse stuff) if you lose that, you've lost it.
Im starting to think theres a lot of illusion in science ;D
Medicine is probably the worse area, its now a massive well oiled machine geared to profit and to continuation, thats a shame and we pay for it out of the pocket and through real lives lost.
Doctors are our third highest cause of death from mis diagnosis usually through prescriptions.
Lost my mother in law went the same way.
Theres good and bad in every branch though have to give credit where its due; but then there are those that just tow the line and others who fudge the books to cover the % of mistakes. We lose 30,000 just here in Australia from mis diagnosis and hospitals mistakes every year.Imagine the figures for the USA !
I was thinking if you over analyze (funny how anal is in that word) ;D.
If you do and thats your job or your inclination from education or upbringing; then you are thinking predominantly from one side of your intelligence or from one point of view; (one eye via the neurons could also be slightly more switched on too.)
HAhha one eyed point of view get it?;D
Like my daughter is the reverse, she plays on games and such way too much where her analytical thoughts are on hold all the time and her emotion and intuition side of her brain are doing all the work.
When shes been playing her games and I ask her to do something that takes a formation of thoughts and study to do, she finds it very hard work.
When she goes back to the games, she finds it harder to flow into them.
I see that all the time, one effects the other in real terms.
Balance has to be the key.
Emotion is the key to gaining from intuition and flowing free.
Concentration the key to gaining from a working set formula.
Both will work against each other if you cant find a balance between the two brain hemispheres or a feeling that the two can be as one.
That then comes down to personal choice of how you wish to view everything. Do we choose to see it all as separate or do we see it all as whole and as one all linked?
One is an ego killer so some wont even think up that path its too far from their belief structure and safety in going it alone. The other path leads off into a group consciousness.
So we got the keys, we got the doors and we got the catch 22 :cool:; the thoughts and feelings that stand before the doors.
Like Ancients wisely wrote "Choose the middle road".
Great thread and good posts guys n gals, i really enjoyed reading some of these posts a few times, i need to get my internet sorted :(
Andre, patching the eye, been doing that for years. Think its a good way of correcting feels thought process and its receptive ability, with the grey matter. Its the eyes where the problem lies.
Sharla, a little thing your sister can try. proprerecetive thing. Stand on one leg, then while balancing close one eye and alternate the eyes every five seconds, closing one then the other. Try it on both legs. It gives a lot of clues. If you want a giggle and take it a step further stick a peice of tissue in one ear at a time. Then its a new ball game ;D

Funny how we actually see everything upside down and its our brain that flips the vision up the correct way for us.
When you think the Earths round and there is no real up, then the workings are correct for our purpose here.
:-\ maybe that is what allows us to feel the right way up where ever we are on the ball.
Maybe (talking consciousness again) so that we dont get caught up with the reality of the situation, so that its all about our own personal points of view, so that we're forced to make our own changes.
Trouble is we are generally doing things laterally and thinking that way too; straight time lines,start/finish. life /death, profit and gain. gain and loss. all that bull shit.
Ive a few questions out of interest.
So if you want someone to feel it out more, do you cover the right eye?
If you want them to nut it out more, you cover the left?
Or is it the other way around in action?
Would I be right in thinking there would be no difference between southies and naturals as to which eyes are covered; that they are both the same?
( Im only surmising that; because consciousness has nothing to do with being left or right handed).
Unless its a different rule for (consciousness in action) ; thats why I'm asking ;D.
Suppose like everything its Habit, using the Dominant side of the Body for most things. Over a period of time it alters the biomechanics, one side doing while the other supports and stabalises the action. They say,or the people I know that 95% of injurys start from that problem, and I agree. Thats why its so important, to get in the habit of good body maintainance. Its all down to the eyes, both not seeing the same, bloody things ;D
Good thread guys. Some interesting stuff going back and fourth
Was just thinking.
There is huge difference between consciousness and Full conscious awareness. The first one is like having your brain in neutral , free space to take things in one way or the other: either feeling it or studying it. The latter is being free from feeling separate from the action, so you can go through all the gears at exactly the right time. Acceptance of what is, plays a massive part in being able to perform in that zone.
Confusion, starts in the Oral Cavity, finnishes there too ;D
