Thread: Accuracy

Do you mean he puts his left in your face, and then throws a right? Well try throwing a hook to his elbow on his extended left hand. Should put him in some pain

Hey

if you no its coming why dont you move back or prepare to block, look at where the rest of his body is postitioned next time he trys it then in future you willl be able to notice these signs then avoid it, failing that try moving to his left side before he hits out with his right, this should make it easier to avoid it and possibly put you in a better postion to strike him.

Hope that helpss

hello,

hmmmm. sounds like this is not necessarily an accuracy problem. sounds like a fundamantals problem.

it is clear that you do not know how to move. this is likely because you do not know WHY to move. that is, you lack the understanding of each movement and its purpose, mechanical requirements, strengths, weakness, etc.

in other words, you do not know WHY a given movement or technique works. therefore, you cannot be expected to implement these movements or techniques properly.

sounds grim. but there is hope. power comes from executing a technique properly. accuracy come with understanding the purpose of the technique.

first off, the most obvious advice, is to seek qualified instruction. join a gym. even if it "only" a boxing gym, the theories are also used in muaythai, so it will not be wasted time for you.

second, instructional videos emphasizing basic fundamentals may help. still, you might need to seek qualified coaching to assimilate it in the beginning.

third, as far as handling your friend with the fakie-strikie.... keep your hands UP. you should be able to peer just over your gloves/hands at your opponent. drop your hands... you get dropped.

thanks.

If you really feel you are lacking in accuracy, Try buying a double end bag. My accuracy went way up after using this tool. You can get one at many sporting goods stores or order from ringside.com.

They are not very expensive and great for working hand accuracy and coordination.
