    Switch hitting hasn't been a problem cause i have such a big base. Its just important to leave enough room to not get countered.
    I've seen amateurs get railed switching within range

    Blogs are a great idea to keep you honest, I started mine last week but a recent neck injury has derailed my training so my topic on this occasion is fighting the negative demons that follow a shortterm setback.

    btw switch-hitting is also excellent to neutralize another switch-hitter, even if you aren't a master at it. he switches, you switch, doesn't make much difference so you both go back to original guards.

    Switchers tend to take a small break when they switch. One guy would always get tagged while switching to southpaw.

    this doesn't have to happen. its pretty easy to cover your switch with a one-two. that being said, I guess for those who don't train in switch-hitting it must be more awkward and sloppy than for those who are used to it.
    its also useful to switch-hit when slipping a hook, that way you have more power and balance in your counter-punch.

    all the best

    there should be more people like you wanting to go through self change for the better whether it be mentally or physically

    so sick of hearing from people ... 'i want to lose weight, i'll start going to the gym next week' ... but next week never comes and they complain about why they are unhealthy and ***** about others who are doing right to make themselves feel better

    I was surprised at your bag work, it's not bad at all..your straight shots look nice!

    Keep it up pal, glad you're making improvements.

    Your weight loss wont be linear. You are going to lose many pounds of water weight almost immediately.
