ahh k, I got ya. Well Chris is the man to see. Surprisingly, I am interested in so many things physics and science related and forever reading and looking them up, and just realized now seeing your post, the one area I haven't bothered to consider it more is boxing, where it'd actually be most applicable to me . lol

Maybe I'm dumb.

no more like most boxers just honing your craft. on a side note i have noticed that in the Wash. D.C. area, the trainers for the amateurs are not all that professional. my interest isn't in pro level training anyway, too involved i like working the pads with the thai guys esp when they are new, they like all the different combo's i can feed them and mine tend to be different because i add a lot of the stuff boxers would use

I know that bro. Sarcasm is one of my favorite hobbies too ;-) I never take offense.

I think the worse thing a trainer can do is to have a set way and expect every fighter to adapt to that way.

Aside from saftey,stretching and the other more set patterns in training (that all vary to suit the fighter): a great trainer should be able to see the gifts that each fighter brings naturally and will tune those gifts in and sharpen up those natural talents so they outweigh any inherent weakness.

great Andre, thanx and i agree, i have seen soo many trainers train each fighter the same way, i agree initially using a two hands up guard is a good idea, but for some later the philly shell may be useful or an archie moore type guard. i do think a lot of drills can be used for everyone to develop attributes but putting the attributes of any given boxer at the forefront is an art
