    This and id/ego suppression. A lot of boxing is totally counter-instinctive.

    Also:

    "Hit the other fellow as fast as you can, as hard as you can, where it hurts him most, when he ain't looking."

    Also:

    "Fundamentals are a crutch for the untalented."

    Also:

    Whoever is in charge of censorship around here is definitely a grandmother, a nun, or just plain not very bright.
