Ok, this is totally true. I just got a camera and taped two sparing sessions last week. I saw all sorts of shit. First I saw how beautiful and fast I am. But then I notest that I drop my left when I throw my right. I also saw other stuff. the second session I don't think I dropped my left once when throwing my right. It's a fucking hugely important tool.
I just feel a bit wierd doing it. It's either that I feel that it is flaunting my meager wealth since most people at my gym might not be able to afford one, or that I think they think filming is retarded. One of the old school boxers saw me setting up and was like 'yo what the fuck are doing? ' but fuck it. it's worth it.
I'll post some vids here in a week or two so y;all can see how beutiful I am. No actually I showed the films to my trainer ( who doesn't work at my boxing gym ) and he was able to give me good insight and I expect that people here can do the same.
good post Von

So next time you spar....every time you spar if you have the means, have someone film your session. Then study them and analyze what you're doing, and what you could have or should have done in various situations. Then your braing wil automatically register the information next time you're in that same situation. you will do it automatically...without thinking. You'll improve exponentially.
