STOP deadlifting.

Nice:good.from Calgary? What weight div? Your nickname's not "The Silex" is it?

 

No. Get out of those technical gyms it won't work in the ring certainly won't work once you get hit. Switch to legacy boxing. Problem with the gym your at is they limit their offence by pointing their left hip directly at you what's even worse they pull the left shoulder back. Their easy to hit by doubling up on the jab, and body is wide open for wide right hands to body. It's gets even worse his fighters can't slip because of the hip. Once my jab gets by. I'm all over them feeding them with the shovel hooks. I like I say technical doesn't mean much because as soon as those hands come down bomb squad.

 

I had a plan of trying out all the different gyms in Calgary when I first started with Canuckles at 18, and then went to Independent. Then Frenchy and Keegan won me over and I stayed there for a little while, and found Vlad.

I watched a beginners class at Legacy a couple of years ago, and saw some high level boxer shadow boxing but that was before I started focusing in on boxing only ( I used to be all about the BJJ and a little bit of Judo ), and a few of the guys that went to my high school go there (you might be one of them).
I can only say good things of Legacy from that experience.

But I know with Vlad, all of his students that compete have only been training with him for 1 maybe 2 years if not less (there was one guy ,I forget his name, who had his first amateur fight a couple of months after he stepped into the gym for the first time in his life), with the exception of Smealinho Rama who has been with Vlad for a while.

His teaching is also very open, he lets you fight in a style that comes naturally to you (at least that's my experience training with him), and then we work on improving our technique, and combinations.

You might have fought someone who was very fresh and you're letting that one experience make up the whole perception of his class.

Something tells me you fought Abraham in his 2nd or third amateur fight?

 

Where's Wlad from he looks Jewish? I like Abraham but that style doesn't stop my left forearm from smashing into his face. My coach taught me that a good boxer uses a little elbow grease to get the job done. What was your experience with legacy is it an aggressive style that the coach teaches or is the nature of the fighters?

 

I was only a spectator at legacy for one class, a couple of years ago and the whole time there I watched the high level boxer shadow boxing, which was brilliant to me. I don't know his name but maybe you could help me out.

I think it was the trainer in the first picture, but it might have been someone else.


I didn't particularly notice a certain style being prevalent at that gym, though, that may have changed.

If and when you beat Abraham I'll give you props. But that kid is the most serious student of boxing I've ever met. I was there when he first came into the gym about a year and a half ago with "zero!!!!:" experience to a BJJ class. He was a savage even with no experience.

Then I leave for a few months and when I come back he's completely into boxing, had a couple of amateur fights, after only a few months of me being absent.

He's a very good dude. Anyone who beats him at this point has my respect (if they didn't have it before).

Also Vlads Russian I believe.

 

That's the trainer he's a solid coach and not technical by any means. I find it's better to point my toes to 12. For various reasons 1. My favourite is sprint in behind the right hand top of the head is the hardest part of the body. 2. I can knee from this position chop the legs up. Try this find who fights technical put your left foot as close to his left foot as possible feint and drive in with your left knee into his. 3. If the ref is behind him go for a full knee. Go for the Dq hoping that you won't get caught. 4. Take out his hips throw to them. Anyway I better go. Say hi to Abraham I gonna close this account.

 

Yeah I will, I'm not sure who you are though.

Good luck with boxing.

 

Like this guys principles,Do similar stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Dk05MfCMg

 

It's interesting to note that Cotto uses this system, and people can't help commenting on how he's carried his power up from welterweight, so despite what dealt with says, perhaps there is some merit to using RUSSIAN Isokinetic machines.

 

Been doing the same sort of stuff, for the last 40 years, with great results.

 

This is pretty interesting. I can see where he's coming from. I'm intrigued...

 

Not really a fan of balancing on a bosu-ball whilst trying to Squat.

Looks good, but how beneficial is half of that stuff, really?

Stick to the basics.

 

Idea is to improve the basics, by bit part whole.

 

I'm talking basics as in the big lifts, runs etc.

Squatting on a boss ball doesn't get you better at Squatting. Just makes it that much more dangerous...

 

Have you watched the whole thing, think you should, understand the concept.
