Yawn . You have no idea. Learn from the person teaching u. When they have nothing left to offer you, Shake the persons hand and thank them. Then you move to someone else. YOU ARE ASKING KIDS ON THE INTERNET! Most are talking dribble ,how hard is that to understand.
This forum is a tool to exchange opinions on boxing training, something that connects most of us. Consider it a supplement on what a trainer teaches, no one has ever been less of by getting more information and different opinions. The burden of filtering that information lies with the person reading it. If you don't like it or don't see the added value, feel free to **** off.
Rofl so u are going to stop people from arm punching by describing in words how to do it. How Shakespearian of you. Rofl
Virus go tell the guy that is training you what you are doing! If he know what he is doing he will tell you to go home. You cannot learns skills on here . Discuss programs to get you fit or diet. Please have a look at the videos that people post on here that are self taught. It will save you a lot of time . YES I AM FUNNY AND I AM ALSO RIGHT.
I'm quite happy with the training I'm getting. If i told my coach I was giving general conditioning and weight training advice on a boxing forum I very much doutb he'd ban me from the club. Nobody is claiming you can. I already do that... This just doesn't make sense. Not really.
I'm guessing you're referring to this post I made in that thread - What of it? Your post has to be the dumbest thing I've seen anyone post in the last 20 minutes. What is this meant to prove? It's just completely random...
You can describe every sporting technique with words, a common thing when training technique is to yell out certain words, bodyparts or movements that you need to focus on for good technique. Boxing is no different, punching is a skillful movement like shooting a basketball or hitting a hockey ball. There's an optimal technique for all skills and if you understand the concept you learn it easier. To learn the concept, words need to be used to describe it. Also a coach doesn't automatically know what they're doing, especially in the sport of boxing. Often the only qualification a boxing coach has is that he used to fight. He might not know how to train optimally and maybe he can't describe how to punch correctly because it's just something he could do naturally. It'd be better for someone who's never stepped in a ring before to coach if they could explain things, get the concepts across.
Yes, words can be a way of describing how to punch. I've had many aha-moments on this site after people described how to do something. My trainer could have told me that, but he isn't always around and I like to get as much information as possible. If all you are doing here is trolling you can **** off, or I can help you **** off. Your choice.
I have tried to be gentle but you are either a child or very inexperience I tried to help but you failed to listen. I am very experienced and I know your type and u will never learn. You already know more than everyone around you. YE Right. There is nothing like a know all student!
What on earth are you talking about? I'm currently a uni student but I'm no child, I'm 25 years old and I've never claimed to know it all. What is my type and what have I said that you don't agree with? The advice I've given in this thread was to help out a guy who asked for help. The advice I passed on was a merging of thoughts from myself, an olympic boxing coach and training philosophy from a top basketball coach.
How have you helped anyone? All you've done so far is to be condescending to all the fellow members of this forum that are offering their own technical advice to someone that is curious how to tackle an issue they need a second opinion on. It is ridiculous to say that one cannot be taught a point via word of mouth. It certainly can be said that one cannot become good at something by merely reading a book, but having an understanding of the mechanics and technique that goes behind the entire movement(the mental image) will help one grasp how to perform a punch correctly perhaps faster or better. I don't believe I haven't had a single coach that hasn't been able to help me improve by explaining into finer detail the intricacies of what body parts the power is coming from, then giving an analogy on how to apply it to what I need to do. That being said, if a coach ever banned a fighter for looking for opinions and advice outside of his own that wasn't someone established like Cus D'amato, then he would be one of the worst coaches ever known and would probably find his stable of fighters lacking. I find it more common that the coach will give you the basics but leaves it up to you to 'figure out your own journey'. To me, that is a stronger statement then your going to find in just about any other sport. There are only so many ways you can throw a football or kick a soccerball, but each fighter has to develop an individual style that suits their strengths and they also need to learn how to move their own body in a way to accomplish that. For everyone, the basics are the same but the more you become dedicated to doing what you love, the more your going to put into it and the more you going to reap from doing so. All the guy was trying to do was ask questions so he can improve and become a better fighter. If it came to something regarding your own personal health, I'm sure you'd be wise enough to seek a second medical opinion when it is something as important as concerning your life. What does it hurt to get a second opinion on how to train? That is why this forum exists which you are posting in. You've done nothing to defend your points other than to just call people dumb and say you are better than them. We already know that your technique will never develop as good as it can be without a coach and being in a gym, your not telling us something that isn't common knowledge among these boards.
In all fairness you sound like an idiot and I'd be very surprised if you coach any successful boxers (who aren't just waiting for a better coach to move into the area).
