    Yea I'll try that, thanks. After reading up on sugar boxing site iv started trying to throw my shoulder first as well. The teacher at Kung-fu was saying that with a true build up its like power spiralling up from the foot to hip etc then released through the hand. He also said that opening and closing the chest is a technique that isn't used enough. Hard to explain but when you throw a jab the chest opens, when you throw the next punch whether it be cross hook or hook with same hand you close the chest and this keeps going open close open close etc.

    Any of this make sense or sound far fetched?

    So been practicing different wayt to try and snap my punch, cant tell if im getting the snap but my trainer said my left, right hook and cross have all felt stronger this week.

    Been doing alot of foot work with resitance bands tied round my feet and keeping the tension on

    Also found that my overhand right is 'my punch' as the trainer said. So been drilling into me a jab, cross, left body hook then overhand right to face.

    Every right handed fighter, every trainer will tell you that the 'over hand" right is your punch. Every place in the world.
    Because you are right handed. Think about it.
    If he is teaching you anything, your left hook will be your best punch.

    Yea i understand. ill not look into it too much then when he says it. Do you think that means the trainer is just being 'nice' to keep motivation or i could do with looking for a more techincal teacher?

    For now just keep us updated. We are not there with you to really make any judgements.

    I will say he should have spotted you leaning with your punches immediately and corrected it. But like I said your new and we arent there. Keep us updated.

    I don't know what he is teaching you. He could very well be looking to motivate you.
    Keep this in mind, for your own benefit...When you throw a real strong right hand, it should put you in a spot to throw a real strong left hook. It sets up the punch. Now, if your feet aren't right to make that happen, then your right hand isn't exactly right, no matter how hard you think you are throwing it.
    In boxing, the third punch tells. By that I mean, it tells the truth about your balance. Jab, right, hook. That is the foundation of it all.

    I understand that now. We've been working on alot of combinations. Im upto 12 punch combos now and i sometimes shuffle my feet, aswell as pivoting, to keep balance and move with punches.

    One thing that has happened this week which id like advice on..

    iv been sparring last few weeks and loving it, each week my trainer has been getting heavier and heavier to condition me to get used to punches. I missed one yesterday and it met my chin quiet flush he checked i was ok and we laughed but i had to drop to a knee till my head stopped spinning. I carried on sparring and still got stuck in, but how do you deal with the ringing and i had a headache for about 24 hours. Is that normal? i could of been slightly dehydrated also becuase after trainming i basically collapsed at 4pm on th couch sleeping on and off then had my meal at 7pm before bed at 9. so hardly drank anything.
