      Easy, and some of the oldest knowledge: a bag doesn’t hit back. You’re the most exposed when you’re throwing punches, knowing that doesn’t help; commit when you throw, and it’s the easiest to follow up off of a jab which you can also use to close distance. Don’t throw anything you don’t intend to land, & if you’re fast with good hand eye coordination then your best off eating a few to set the timing for effective counter punches.

      @donxponce7729 2 роки тому +33

      Throw punches when you want to though , not because you feel you have to. If you see nothing open & absolutely have no clue what to throw just start with a jab. Not everything has to be hard just touch.

      @@epictetus9221 Yea I throw tons of shots I don’t intend to land lmao. I’m looking for reactions, keeping the opponent reacting and tense, etc. Usyk’s and Volkanovski’s last fights are great examples of this. A good specific example of this is Petr Yan dropping Jimmie Rivera w an overhand in their fight. Every time Yan would throw his rich overhand, Rivera would exit out to his right. So, knowing this, Yan threw a shifting right overhand and cracked Rivera w a left overhand as he circled into it

      Yeah. I’ve been doing TKD eoth my kids with a bunch of families. Although we semi contact spar everyone of all ages, I’m definitely pulling my punches. Started doing mma striking where I’m getting clouted a lot harder but I’ve also got a lot of the same fear when something connects. Even with the cocky guys who are kind of asking for it. I do find it hard going all in. My instructor keeps telling me to go as hard as I can, so I think he recognises it and is trying to help me get over it but it’s hard.

    Great content, I’ve just recently started sparring again and forgot about the nervous energy before getting in the ring.
    A lot of the apprehension comes more from the fear of being hit rather than the actual hit itself.
    Once you accept that getting hit is just a matter of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’ it’s easier to settle in and get in a rhythm.
    Breath, breathing and more breathing is also a great tip, it’s hard to let your hands go when your breathing out your arse 😂

I took a month off due to Co-Vid, but when I came back I was all of a sudden at a different level completely. Not just the dodging shots to the face, but the offense man. I was big on my kicks at first, but now I open up with the hands so much more. The weird thing is that it depends on who I am sparring. The few people that I am used to hitting in the face are the rounds in which have no problem doing so. However, sparring with someone else for the first couple of times is so much more difficult to be okay with hitting them in the head. It sounds bizarre, but it is something that I struggle with. I need to get to the point in which I can spar everybody that same way. Like I said though, what a difference in my overall skill over the past 10 months (since I started.) Have a good one G. ✌️🤙
