serves him right for your training don't play tekken and street fighter and watch pac on youtube? to get your timing right?
I play street fighter 2 turbo to increase my speed. To improve my chin I play tekken and for technique I watch Pac HBO highlight videos.
I can tell you my secrets but you still have to put time in at the cafe. If youre new to the sport start with Nintendo's Mike Tysons punch out and gradually move up in systems until you get your technique down.
