Who's scared of Monsters?

[Trainer Monkey]

I can honestly say you'd be challenged.
What would you do when you run me til I vomit, you make me spar til I collapse and hit a bag til it feels like the bag is hurting me, but I just smile, cos it's what I love?

Then we'd do mitts,youd cool down with the rope,and after your intervals and road work you have to do the speed bag
Somewhere in there is centering,8 point blocking and the pell,and if your feeling that frisky I can allways toss on arrow weaving techniques
I may be a good trainer,I never said a thing about being a nice one

Tape is such a great tool.

Going into the national final we knew that my left hook would be key....In the time between the semi and Final we formulated four combinations which would win me the title and we kept going over them.
I don't think I missed one left hook from the outside all fight!

I collect fights for just this reason,even crap fights.I want my fighters to see from outside as it were,whats working,and why its working.
When your in there,you dont have time to have an existential discussion with yourself about what you should throw,youve got to go,and go now.
This is the same reason I have them write down combinations,and then they have to explain to me the purpose of every shot in the combination,you have to know what your trying to achieve with every punch,otherwise,your just pissing away energy,or biding your time

hey monkey how about some tips from those drills you mentioned? arrow weaving, 8 point blocking or better a vid that goes with it?

[Trainer Monkey]

Ok,real quick,8 point is a total blocking system developed by Bruce Lee,and Ed Parker,its just a matter of adapting it,and the counter strikes to boxing.
The arrow drill is a substitute for the slip line
On a slip line or a double end bag,you can time things,but if Im controling it via the arrow Im wapping you with,you have to slip on the fly,rather then just a rythmic motion.
Basically I stand in front of a fighter,and tap which part I want them to slip with,shoulders,head,etc
Be able to do it when it isnt expected
