To kinda add on to what Chris said about punching,think of every single punch as not only what you might hit,but what you throwing there might open up
I encourage fighters to think of the body as an X if I throw a jab to the body,and its blocked,what has that motion by my opponent opened up?
Hit that
Another thing I encourage is to write down combinations,and tell me what you were trying to do with it
It aint brawling,its boxing
You have to think to do this
