Little Gym Tips

Punch people in the face :good

 

Some of these are great tips!

SOme people laugh it off but I commonly do heavy bag rounds with mouth guard in. It's a lot harder to breath and a good reminder how to breath when you're gassed out.

 

We have to do that in our club, comes in handy because its hard to get used to at firt so better off getting used to it outside the ring rather then inside.

Also, I forgot, you can turn straight punches upside down so the knuckles land on the bottom of your opponents nose, won't knock them out but should stun them or cause their eyes to water. Useful if your too far away to land an Uppercut.

 

i remember reading this when it was first posted and when i was training the young guys during the week it kept playing on my mind, i know everyone's style is different but its developed through learning little things from many different sources including people, learning in any sport comes from imitating other persons actions so completely ignoring other people is a no no, a younger kid started copying one of the older ones and it was way easier that way for him to start that way than being directed through mouth i noticed it and he pretty much copyed what the older kids style was which improved form and tecnique, i sure his won style will develop eventually if he sticks it out

or do you mean dont go in training after watching two hours of a mike tyson clip or shane mosley and go to the club imitating their style,is this what you mean

 

something the coaches always say to me is "relax, don't tense up, let the punches flow". nearly every session I start off thinking i'm relaxed but when someone says that to me I notice the difference

 

screw the jab, screw the right hand?

 

after training make sure you stay warm. put a hoodie/ jacket/ jumper and hat on before you leave the gym, especially in the winter. at football and now boxing I have always been told after training you are more susceptible to picking up coughs and colds.

 

Actually it was if your going to do weights/resistance exercises do them before you go for a run. By training before the run- firstly you will be fully mobilised for exercise (if you've warmed up correctly) and secondly you will be already well on your way to exhausting your Carb reserves so by running with less sugar you will utilise fat thus allowing you to drop weight more effectively. Or something like that :good

 

Oh man, I'm gonna have to remember that one. That's pretty cheeky
