few clips from one of my sparring sessions. thinking about making a breakdown video so you guys can see the mentality behind everything here, there’s definitely at least something you can all take away from this.
I’ve noticed most of you have the same problem that you can’t seem to fix at the moment. Range/Distance control. I’ve 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 isn’t 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 “what’s next” instead of “I’ve hit him and thats it” you will become a nightmare for anyone.
@Emanuele Amarone No exercises. It’s a mindset shift. Train on the bag and shadow box as you usually would, but now throw EVERY shot with the assumption that you’re going to fall in or that you’re going to get hit back. We need to FORCE you to be cautious after throwing your shots.
i’ve 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 here’s some videos i made drop tips please
Bro this is so good as always! 🙌🏽 I think the reason your distance management isn’t where it needs to be is for the same reason as everybody else’s. The way you’re 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. Let’s take 0:26 as an example. You throwing an uppercut and then a jab right after. In a real scenario your jab wouldn’t 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 you’d stick to close range shots like hooks and uppercuts. Again, you wouldn’t have the space to extend your arms for jabs. Round 2: long range - you’d stick to your long shots like a jab and a cross. You’d 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. 👊🏼
