Bad Boxing Habits

After the 1-2 dropping your hands to waist level. Classic mistake.

 

It just seems that no matter how experienced, still there are people who hook and expose their chin, throw shots that over-reach, and bounce too much. They get carried away with combos and forget their proper form -defense compromised. Sometimes you see two flurrying at each other back and forth in turns, or they throw punches without REALLY looking. I am not talking strictly about BEGINNERS. Generally just not completing motions properly or having a strategy that plays out over time. Emotions and adrenaline are good but you cant always bank on it.

 

Never understood what is so complicated about recoiling a punch to where it started - covering your cheeks!

I hate it when boxing is made difficult with such basic errors.

 

I have to say this is good advice. Because I move around alot Im now realizing a lot of angles and can catch him from underneath or from the side. The orthodox guard is pretty flimsy when not taken head on from it's intended blocking direction. (did that make sense?)

I'm encouraged to just sit there and work out the punches as theyre coming at me rather than evade with movement and counter. Do you think moving around a lot is a good thing for boxing?

 

Its also made easier when you're not the guy making those errors!! :bbb
