Thread: Wow my reflexes suck

All right I was at a party with one of my best friends and two other of my friends. This was at my best friends house so he left us in his room to go get refreshments. Just as he left a big muscular senoir walked in and asked "All right who wants to box". my other two friends just sat their quiet. Now im only a freshman so this probably wasn't the smartest move, but I never really like to back down from anybody. So I said " I'll box" So we put on some gloves and started. I thought I would take him out at the body to at least slow him down seeing how he had every single advatage possible. But he didn't slow down and started landing head shots. I have a huge pain tolerance so it didn't hurt but he did bust my lip. Before it was over I landed two head shots, and got him once right in the eye socket. Then he just said. " Im done I can't take this anymore I don't wanna hurt you."

So what do you think I need to work on, Because personally im am not a boxer Im a wrestler with terrible foot work and mediocre reactions.

I don't think you need to work on reflexes, just try to spar more for training. You can spar with someone who can give you tips on parrying or sliping then counterattacking. Think about what advantages you have and try to work them to your advantage. You also got to get the jab out there alot so you can see how they react - if they drop right hand everytime you jab to the body, fake jab and catch them with a left hook.

Honestly he pussied out. U shoulda called him out on it and be like........ thats wat all ppl with sensitive egos say. If u see the senior again u should challenge him again. and if he beithces out again then call him out on it. Self defense. means physical AND MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL

wes what party were you at..... what senior

ahahah wow mabey me and you should spare sometime then and make you try to work on your reflexes!

hello,

this is an old thread, but it seems like fighter-x needs to seek qualified instruction. also, improvised fightsports at parties in generally not very smart. even if it is with your buddies.

thanks.
