My IG algorithm seems to know what I’m up to and seemingly wants to point me in the right direction

I keep getting recommendations like this



Super relevant, as this is exactly what I should’ve learned first, the maneuvers within the movements and the maneuvers within the response to common looks of an offensive combatant

I was pretty lucky with the opponent selected for me but take a look at these guys

The guy with the wife beater is moderately instinctively skilled, if you think of what he was up against he actually displayed great defense based on the damage he avoided

He was against an unskilled but highly aggressive opponent. Defending against this guy is going to be a workout in itself, exceptional conditioning would be needed. Then really to avoid that many punches? They probably don’t have much on them but still. I wonder how I’d have approached this, if my movement would’ve effectively evaded him or if I would be forced to stand in and exchange with him

I’d imagine a lot of pivots, and counters:jbhmm:



You too old breh. Do this for fun/to test yourself but unless you want to get CTE being a warm body for some prospect its a high chance you will gain nothing attempting to go pro.

It may be diff if you were heavyweight but at 150 you'd have to realistically fight at like 135-140 and those dudes have been boxing since they were like 14 if they are any good.

I started late twenties and am an insanely fast learner and the gaps between me and even some of these gifted teens was huge. Its no shame admitting that, you can still get nice with your hands though but all that boxrec shyt aint really a smart goal lol.

fukking holy howard eastman where do I start. :mjlol:

The nikka in the black with the bandana doing that weird ass junior witter shyt with his lead hand and switches stances for no apparent reason. Like his style gives the impression of someone who's watched other ppl box rather being directly taught. So many bad habits
- Dude tall is fukk but fighing crouched over like George Groves.
- Super wide stance
- Aimless movement
- no type of real offense
- too much bullshyt posturing like Sergio Mora instead of boxing.

The other guy wasn't much better, but you can tell someone implanted some basics in him. He doubled up those hooks and landed that several times. Dude was definitely holding back tho.

Skimmed through the rest of the video and a lot of ppl throwing hands without having a solid grasp on the technical foundation. Chin up when swinging, squared up, no jabbing.

My students be mad self conscious about their technique and sometimes be embarrassed of the clips I post of them. I be having to tell them that they look better technically than a lot of cats on the internet posting training or boxing clips. It's just they don't feel the complete confidence in what they learned yet.

but these nikkas in the video different.. Respect for putting themselves out there. It;s like a lesser skilled version of Fade Factory on IG

Not sure if this link works I tried to clip it because it's a long video. This is how the fight opened up


Every time he landed anything to the head you completely turn away and stopped fighting. At one point you even fully turn your back and take two steps away. At first I thought maybe it was some weird ruleset where you gotta stop after each punch but there was an exchange you where you landed a few on him (though mainly on his gloves) and he kept going

Beginners wilt under pressure a lot so it's kind of normal (stopping after each punch is not something I've ever seen) and is something everyone gets over so I'm sure you will too

You're right, I won't do that moving forward and this isn't an excuse but my reasoning is mostly just that I am disappointed in my defense at that moment. I do like to think I'd respond to pressure with offense of my own, I will have to set my mind to that
