where to keep your eyes?

I think its best to either look at their eyes, or torso(good for reading what they will do), however, if you look into their eyes you should eventually get the hang of seeing where certain things are coming from..

 

thats a good question. :good

 

When I was fighting my trainer always told me to keep your eyes firmly in place in your head. No matter how much fun it may be, do not remove them to play jokes on your gymmates. This can lead to susceptibility to the jab.

 

the first i ever heard was to focus on the V in someones neck where the collarbones meet. ive stuck with that and it works for me. i guess looking up to the eyes or down a little every once in a while is a given but i always wind up back in the middle

 

Well, the only real tip for where your eyes to be that everyone follows is...NOT at the opponents gloves.:bbb

 

i look at their shoulders n fists. but u have to always have a periphial of the rest of their body

 

I don't think there is a real answer to this question.

 

Your supposed to look from the neck down, in the shoulder region.
Never look at the face, it tells you nothing about the next punch coming.
If your skilled enough you can even tell where someones throwing a punch just from looking at their legs and waist.

 

Huh?

 

I thought some wouldn't understand.
All most all of your punching power comes from the legs and rotation of the hips, there are small tells in the legs that give away certain punches. If you are experianced enough in boxing you can tell what punches the person is throwing just by looking at the legs, to an extent. I'm not saying to only look at the legs cause you shouldn't, but if your in the middle of the weave (for example) and for the moment you can't see where the next punch is coming, you can get an idea of where it will be from the legs and waist.

 

atsch Ah! That explains a number of things, that I've been wondering about lately.
