Different / Alternate Training Ideas

[Chris Nagel]

Blocking Bodyshot Drill:

One way you can try but you need a partner. Get the partner to get 2 towels and put knots in the ends of both then holding them in either hand get him to try and hit you with the knots good fun teaches you the principle without the pain take it in turns

Squating Exercise:

A nice one, get a fit ball put it behind you against a wall the centre of your back near the bottom of your back. Put your feet 9ins in front of you with your toes on a bit of 3x2 wood so the heels are lower than the toes by 2ins. Now drop the knees an inch every 10 secs until you reach the sitting position then come up using the same technique 5 times. The 3x2 is important it protects your cruciats its a nice one . Or use a skate board instead of the Ball.

Trainer Mannie Seamon described a rather unusual training technique which Benny Leonard employed to help hone his celebrated defense:

“He was a fast boxer, so as to keep up his speed I used to put two boys in the ring with him together. He either jabbed one and watched the other, or feinted one and jabbed the other. If one missed him, and they often did, he knew he could take care of the other.”

Improving the jab:

Von Im worried about your jab, so heres a little thing you can do to help it get perfect or nearly.Stand in a corner with your leed shoulder against the wall and your back shoulder 5 ins off the other wall. now throw a jab along the wall keeping the shoulder against it and as you do drive the other shoulder into the back wall as you throw the jab. now you know where the back shoulder hit the walltape a handpad to it otherwise youll get a painfull shoulder. Make certain when you throw the jab the shoulder hits the chin, have fun.

Scrap on Circling:

Get a partner, put left hands together facing each other. Now move wherever you want one leading the way the other following, left right back forward. Take it in turns play ring around a roses if he goes left try changing by going right, play at it. Now when youve got that, tie your opposite feet thats you and your partners together so they are 4 ft apart with rubber, now it gets interesting.

Leg exercise that does not strain the knee:

Theres one you can do with a fitball that will help CFH. Sit with your back to the wall nice and straight, with a leg over a fitball hip knee and foot in line. Pushing with your Hamstrings into the Ball and your foot pushed back to shins bend the knee so the Heel is pushing into the Ball, while all the time pushing the Hamstrings into the Ball with pressure. Then after 10 secs raise the foot and straighten the leg at the top hold for 10 secs always pushing down into the Ball with the foot bent towards the shin do it 3 times each leg. you will tremble well the muscles will keep correct form at all times, Enjoy

It's funny to see how much of Scraps ideas fill these pages, anyways here's another one:

Heres a Little number . Fit Balls again, Get 2 its one way . Get two against the wall with alittle bit of air out Fist both in the centres in a Boxing stance. Start punching the Balls, but dont lose contact with them, youre going as fast as you can with control. Moving the 3 to 4 inch it needs, you will tire qiuckly . when you have done that turn round and put your elbows against the Balls and use them against the Balls for short ressistance it works.
