Strength Training

I have noticed you talk a lot about oral stability, and head posture. It's interesting that so many trainers keep teaching to "tuck the chin" when biomechanically it feels like poor position. How do you train your fighters to maintain good defense, and not get in the habit of poor chin placement? Thanks again.

Basically we work at it. Ive never seen a Great Fghter Fight with His chin on His Chest Plate that gives you a clue. Show me a Fighter that does Ill show you a Fighter waiting to get Hit

I agree. Do you find that the rotation of the thumb down, and the turning of the shoulder the best way to teach defense against the counter? Thank you.

It helps, its a good habit. Always moving Joints, they are the thngs that create movement of the Body. Help tell the lies youre trying to make. Boxing is about telling Lies, Shadow Boxing with a Partner I think is a great way of learning as a start, teaching angles, distance, and levels. Ill put ideas up.

Scrap,do you follow mma at all, or just boxing? I was wondering what your thoughts on the boxing in mma, and the improvements that could be made. The videos are great. Do you use the conditioning video protocol on a regular basis, or just a sample of what can be done. I would like to know your thoughts on programing i.e. Frequency of those type of workouts. You should write a book on the subject
