few clips from one of my sparring sessions. thinking about making a breakdown video so you guys can see the mentality behind everything here, thereโs definitely at least something you can all take away from this.
Iโve noticed most of you have the same problem that you canโt seem to fix at the moment. Range/Distance control. Iโve got an extremely detailed video coming out in a few hours which should solve a lot of the issues for you guys.
im the guy in blue, i know that i did a lot of mistakes, and i'm trying to work on them, i would be very grateful, If anyone who watches the videos would give me some advice what to work on or opinions if they want.
Good work bro and well done for getting in there. The biggest error that stands out to me is your range after throwing the shots. You throw some nice straight but then fall in and get tied up. Work on your positioning after throwing the shots. The work isnโt done after landing a combo, you enter the next phase by controlling the distance and sensibly defending any counters whilst getting ready to attack again. If you do can switch your mentality to โwhatโs nextโ instead of โIโve hit him and thats itโ you will become a nightmare for anyone.
@Emanuele Amarone No exercises. Itโs a mindset shift. Train on the bag and shadow box as you usually would, but now throw EVERY shot with the assumption that youโre going to fall in or that youโre going to get hit back. We need to FORCE you to be cautious after throwing your shots.
iโve been practicing a lot spared 3 guys today around my level and did extremely well still struggle with distance management can never land clean blows it feels but hereโs some videos i made drop tips please
Bro this is so good as always! ๐๐ฝ I think the reason your distance management isnโt where it needs to be is for the same reason as everybody elseโs. The way youโre training/shadowboxing right is installing some subconscious bad habits. Let me explain: Fundamentally all of your shots are clean as hell. The mentality behind them is a bit messy at the moment. Letโs take 0:26 as an example. You throwing an uppercut and then a jab right after. In a real scenario your jab wouldnโt have even been able to extend like that if you were truly in uppercut territory (close range). You need to start shadowboxing as if you were truly fighting an opponent. Set your self some rules from round to round. Round 1: close range - here youโd stick to close range shots like hooks and uppercuts. Again, you wouldnโt have the space to extend your arms for jabs. Round 2: long range - youโd stick to your long shots like a jab and a cross. Youโd be way too far out to even land an uppercut. Round 3: starting the combo in close range, stepping back and finishing at long / starting the combo in long range, getting your hands up and closing the gap and finishing the combo in close range. This will add realism to your training and will stop you from throwing any punch at any range and becoming lazy on distance management. ๐๐ผ
