What to do when you've fallen in love with power?

[WayneFlint]

I agree with all posts so far, balance/good technique is one in the same, it is what we strive for, balance is control and speed and power all in one.

You are right you dont have to throw every shot with all the power you got. That is over commitment and easier to counter. You dont take everything you do in training into the ring with you. My suggestion could well be wrong Im not sure to be honest, but I wasnt suggesting free flow to do in the ring for no reason. I was thinking more along the lines that speed does equal power if it has intention and correct technique on it. Just as power equals less speed if it has over intention and bad technique. None are correct but they are opposites, I wonder if one can balance the other out?

If it really is a habit, material habits are tough to break with thoughts alone, Im wondering how you could counter balance that by an action to practice out of the ring that your mind will grasp to bring you back in balance? There has to be one surely? I mean skipping is of benefit to footwork and fitness and coordination but we dont skip step into the ring either.
