Sparring vid. Tips? - Page 11

mrtony, you need to bring your punches back, you only complete half of every punch. Poking and pushing with your arms, turning your head with your arms out in front is just going to get your hurt against somebody trying to punch you.

you could knock him out if you wanted mrtony, just let your hands loose

i was actually being a bit of a dick...that last sparring session wasnt bad....the guy he is sparring with does look young..but he is about the same size...and mrtony is definitely holding the advantage..i would just say work more combos...and try to get your footwork changed up a bit..dont just always move the same direction.

Oh, come on, man...I've been on esb for going on 4 years now. I'm far from thin-skinned...

it's all good. I'm not sure how old he is. 13 or 14, maybe. I have to go to the 4pm class because of my work schedule, and that 4pm class has quite a few kids in it, so I sometimes find myself training with youths, who go as an after-school thing. It kind of sucks, because I feel like I have to hold back on them, except when I went against this 14 year old, 6'1, 200 pounder...

I got my nose blooded by a 12 year old a few weeks back (made a thread about it) in fairness he is a pretty good fighter...like 30 fights...won some jr. championship, and i hold back a good bit...but yeah....kind of sucks boxing someone younger because you dont really want to open up at all.

Well you still have to follow the basics, despite holding back. Guard up high, throw proper punches, stand properly, move properly, etc.

I accidentally knocked out a young kid a few years ago. He threw a lazy jab and I warned him that it was lazy a few times. After a while I decided to parry it and throw a very held back right hand over the top. Unfortunately he walked straight into it and collapsed like a sack of shit. I was only just able to catch him. Kid went mad when he regained consciousness but he understood my point when he calmed down

I also put a girl on the canvas with an ultra weak liver punch. Both were accidents, I swear

that kid i sparred.....i dropped him with a left hook....didnt mean to throw it hard..and it really wasnt hard.but it was harder than i wanted because i slipped to my left to avoid a big overhand he was throwing and than i turned the left hook over...the motion of coming around was enough to drop than.

last week though i did nail him in the arm pretty good...made his arm useless for the next 3 days..and i did that on purpose because he kept on hitting me in the balls...and i know he was doing it on purpose.

i had on the heavyduty protectors so i didnt feel the shots..but still..thought i should give him something

And then you collapsed and had a heart attack because you're morbidly obese (5'9 and 235 pounds).

You should probably feel gay about your constant gay comments and gay PM's to me as well. You're a strange one
