I know a little bit from messing around with wrestlers, but nothing serious. I have this Canadian/American friend who wrestled on the high national level in the States, he could show me some ****.
Hey Ingar. Haha looks like you've gotten rusty with the feet from lack of maintenance. I see what you're trying to do, I think Boxing has made you awkward with trying to re-integrate something you used to do. Anyways just a few pointers, if you're launching lead hooks kicks, keep your standing leg straight. Your weight needs to be concentrated on the standing leg, and make sure that you pivot on the heel so that the toe is pointing 180 degrees away from your opponent. Try to snap the kicking leg more, by first raising a fully bent knee and at the last second, flick out the shin part. When you follow up with a spin kick, dont let it come out in an arch (very vulnerable due to balance issues and counter-attack). It should be more of a straight out side kick which upon rotation, suddenly whips out at the last second. REmember to twist your head to face the target for a split second before releasing the kick. Again, front kicks, need to raise the knee *first* before flicking the shin out. Makes it faster and snappy. Lean your body away from your kicks to give it more reach and counter-balance. Welcome back to it. I know you will have to restretch, retrain, re-coordinate and somehow mix it up with your punching; almost an anti-thesis of everything you trained in Boxing. But it looks like you have the speed and agility with your feet. I've yet to see a JKD + Boxing person in MMA and I think that type of fighter would do particularly well. We'll see huh?
If that dum-ass VB was teachable (like Ingar) he could have recieved some great help from the folks on esb. Good work Ingar:good
Ingar what happened to the hands? The last video I saw of you shadow boxing they were insanely quick, do they slow down that much with gloves?
Nice hands and a good left kick. Need to work more on developing power in that right kick, but it looks like your getting good hip rotation. Nice technique.
I'm faster than I've ever been as far as I know. I basically just have better delivery now, my hands travel further and each punch is fully completed before the next one comes. They're much more powerful to boot. Also, I'm hitting an object now, not just air, so that's why bagwork looks slower than shadowboxing I guess. I think you're just remembering a tad bit wrong perhaps also, maybe you should see my previous videos again and see if you can see what I mean?
Thanks! Yeah, I was told I need to plant the leg I'm standing on more, that'll help with the power issue for sure. Did some work on it today actually, the bag dented a lot easier.
What the **** happened to the "Edit post"-function? Anyways, I just checked, Marcum. My hands look faster than ever as far as I can see, really. I didn't really check my hands much prior to posting the video, but my technique as well as my speed has improved tons even though I haven't been boxing for 3-4 months. The speed issue is due to me training nothing but speed for football in this period, though.
