Lining up the right hand

Im not sure, ask boxing science. He can tell you everything about yourself as a fighter just from reading one of your posts, from your post i can tell your arm punching with your right hand, because your asking how to line up a punch, so through complex thought processes and careful analysis ive come up with the assumption that your throwing an arm punch, and im usually right.

 

Bald Slick, give me a break boxingscience may have posted some ok posts in total of his what 40 posts?.. however in those same amount of posts hes managed to post some pretty ******ed and stupid things, end of. he should be more careful with his analysis as far as im concerned its not my problem, i call em as i see em, hes a charlotton, nothing more.

 

this thread as silly as it is thought provoking.

But as for a kiddy trying to learn how to line up a straight right punch, my lead left foot is usually aiming over their right shoulder, which is where i want to catch my weight after the right arm has headed through the target. the angle of the foot that you catch your weight on is almost always indicator where the next position is heading

 

Good post thejokerswild, i think your right about the foot being an indicator, although its not always set in stone, theres ways it can be worked around however it can still tell you quite a bit about a fighter though. In some series of movements when your finding yourself in a hole you just have to sometimes pre-shift your weight around and lift a foot to get around it, let gravity, leverage and the bone structure of your legs do the work and free up some movements instead of using muscles to drive.

This is a useful 'tool' or 'variation in movement' when bio-mechanically youve gotten yourself into a bit of a hole in terms of speed or variation, do this at points in series of movements where you know the problems in mobility may occur, plan ahead for it with the weight shift a movement or 2 before the problem will occur and often you can then speed up that entire series of movements, giving you more variation and making you more elusive as a nice side effect, Theres other ways too.

Another more presice way around it all is to work out various tricks/tweaks and versions of all the orthadox boxing strikes and manouvers that you can apply at times to help manipulate the weight to keep it where its desired most for that perticular series of movements OR for that 1 perticular strike in the middle of a series of movements, whatever you want.

Its a lot easier to find/realise these holes that screw your mobility, so your then able to plan ahead for them in a series of movements if you understand that as a principle we are prone to reaching and leaning, we are top heavy as a species, our head is pulling us over onto one foot whenever we're in motion.

Best bet if you havnt got a keen eye watching you is to use a slip line and video recorder, jab, jab forward, go under the line to the right. jab, jab backwards, going under to the left, try all the different variations from there, putting a right hand left hook on the end of the jabs and watch back, see where your losing speed. when your watching it back just think to yourself, if one of my strikes is being countered in this series of movements, am i out of the way quick enough? you will find in some series of movements you are and some you arent, work on the ones that arent using these methods.
