Doing a bit of Apperatus for it so its secret

I've actually noticed this too Chris, so I'm glad to see a topic on the query.


I would have thought that practising the punch motion in full would provide better muscle memory, which over time would translate to a more fluid, natural punch.

Doing a bit of Apperatus for it so its secret

Is there any exercises that can be done that don't need much kit? Bythe way, have you ever had your guys do press ups while using elastic cords? I'm thinking that could provide more resistance for any plyometric work. You've also mentioned before that it would be helpful to cover your dominant eye, or do the exercises blindfolded as to prevent the eyes from hindering the movement.

I thought about that too. I still think you need to practice your punches realistically like how you'd throw them in the ring (i.e. throwing them full r.o.m), but Scrap just brought up an interesting point as in that technique and speed is within the first 3". It's interesting subject that's worth looking into.

Perhaps on drills that emphasize speed it would be more beneficial to work within a limited range of motion, perhaps this would apply to certain plyometric exercises as well.

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.

Thanks Scrap, I gotta try that out. Anyways, not to repeat what you said, I just want to go over it again and make sure I got this right. To start, you're standing infront of the wall in your boxing stance, with both fists pressing on the center of the fit balls which is at about shoulder level/height. Then just punch back and and forth into the fit-balls, left, right, left, right as quick and as controlled as possible making sure to drive your fists in for about 3". That sound about right? It sounds like a good hard exercise. I'll just need to pick up another fit ball before I can try it out.
