Shadoboxing with weights

[Andre]

Thanks andre thats a good one, i think well try this one if we can do it properly. is there any safety reason why you said for right hand vs right only? once you get the hang of that can you do right vs left ?

When you say sword fight, do you mean to sort of use your forearm on your opponents applying pressure with a push and pull here and there to manipulate their balance distort their shots and create openings? maybe a good idea to throw in some tagging, like tap them with your fingers on the back of the neck or traps as a point to keep it tidy and stop it from turning into a wrestling match, what do you think? maybe be careful for accidental eye gouges? lol

Yeah we used to do it with a relaxed semi gripped hand so fingers didnt come into it.
You got the idea, its a feeling thing you are building up contact reflexes, its just an exercise to link feeling and balance into your brain via reaction is what it does.
You'll be able to read their intentions,once it gets to that stage you can bluff intentions then it becomes like a chess match.
Square shouldered nose to nose with contact to two arms is a touch advanced and could get messy if you hadnt gone the sword fight single arm routine at first.
Its a Wing Chun training regime.Minimal movement is required to get a space a shoot up if you knock an arm out of the way a good practitioner would be around that and smacking you up the outside of that move,its to be started slow and subtle and built up to free style. Eventually some dudes do it blindfolded.

It would eventually give any fighter a great feel for when they can slip past their opponents arms in close.
