The problem with Boxing & It's training.

[Greig]

Different strokes for different folks. It sounds as if what you got from your old trainer worked.

Like TM said, you've got to be adaptable. No point showing a guy 5ft 5 and 175 lbs of solid muscle how to stick and move. He's got to be an inside fighter against guys 6 ft plus...

I teach the electric guitar and I often use this analogy:-

I like my students to play with a pick, which many people who just strum with their fingers don't like to do. I used to be hard line 'use a pick or find a another teacher'. In recent years I've relented because I heard the story of Wes Montgomery, one of the greatest jazz guitarists in history. Wes started playing at 19 (ultra late) and he already had a wife and kid. His wife would complain that the guitar was too loud when he used a pick so he started playing with his thumb and developed this 'brushing' style of playing octaves on the guitar. My point is, if Wes had come to me for lessons I would have ruined one of the greatest voices jazz has ever known!!

There is more than one way to skin a cat my friend. And there is certainly more than one way to box or play guitar.

Well fact is.
Method 1 had me tired out, using every ounce of energy to stay going.

Method 2; has me throwing with more power with less physical demand, albeit I'm slightly slower.


My body tells me that the new things I've been taught are more economical for my body.

Les Haste more speed, Haste is thinking the wrong perception in this game. Think clear you are, I am that , you are that , this is that, or He who laugths last didnt get the joke in the 1st place. Ask Andre Hes the sage on these things.

Ok, I'll unravel that one eventually.

In other news, sparring Cresham again this week, along with a couple others, found that I was boxing a lot better sparring him last Friday, so looking for some more development this week.

Haste is a response which affects muscle response and your postore and balance. It gives you should have ,. You can talk to a man with a wooden Leg but not to a man with a wooden Head, love that saying

i am tainted with other things than pure boxing...but lessons i have learned, a strike is a strike, it is the principle of it that makes it well timed or ill advised...economy of motion is the new rule for me...funny it took a long time to realize that but for those that doubt i can teach you the panther punch...he he

I would say this to you Donny while you may see the benefit of the new guy, you should also not overlook the benefits you have got from your current trainer. Although skills wise and technique-wise he may have not been as good, he has got you some good fights under your belt and conditioned you very well. Looking forward you will have the experience you gained and knowledge of how to condition yourself to incredible now you can look forward to learning the sweeter side and you will be stronger from having that experience.
