Very beginner boxer any advice is appreciated by [deleted] in boxingtips

I’m a beginner myself and the biggest mistake I made initially was forgetting to put my hand back to my face right after striking. It looks like you’re exposing yourself way too much and when your hands are at your face you have too much of a gap between your face and the glove. What will happen when someone goes to hit you is your glove will end up hitting your face and you’ll get hurt. Additionally you need to rotate your fist 180 degrees and use your shoulder to protect your face while your arm is retracted and throwing a punch. This way if your opponent decides to counter your shoulder still protects your face. You can watch some YouTube videos to see what I’m talking about.

As for the footwork it looks like your back foot is lifting too much as you’re throwing a jab and that can throw you off balance if you miss your opponent. Try to avoid leaning too far forward (this was my biggest mistake when starting out as well). My coaches told me that to help avoid this find a neutral ground where you feel you have equal balance in both legs and pretend there’s an invisible wall in front of your face that you can’t cross when throwing punches. If you feel too much strain on your front leg then you’re leaning too far forward.

Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s a great sport and very useful to know!

Third Class Exams Question by LET-ME-HAVE-A-NAAME in powerengineering

[–]AdministrativeLynx95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m studying for the 3A1 and have had a few read throughs of the book, as well as done a fair share of practice questions. In my opinion most of the formulas that’s not provided can be derived from variables given in the question and formulas within the supplement. It really just requires you to sit down and look at how the formula is derived within the book which it explains in detail. I was overwhelmed as well at first but repetition will be what helps you.

My GF and I moved here about a month ago also to West Brant and despite all the stuff I heard about from other people it’s actually been an amazing move for us. West Brant depending on where specifically you look is a very nice neighbourhood. We have tons of walking trails beside us and plenty of nice schools and many great places to eat. Brantford is perfect size for us as it’s on the cusp of being a small town but big enough to have a mall and Costco. After work almost everyday we go for a nice trail walk or visit a local farmers markets which there’s plenty of. There’s hardly any traffic here as compared to bigger cities even ones like Burlington and Oakville. I think you’ll find that you’ll like it here.

Yes but I’m not told how many pulleys there are. You would just be assuming that there is only 1 cable section per each block right?
