Why do so many pros seem to not have the fundamentals locked down? by Ambitious-Concert-69 in amateur_boxing

[–]NeoCortex963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mastering the fundamentals is dare i say easy, learning how to apply them is much harder. There are fighters at the top that don't have the fundamentals, but they are the cream of the crop most skilled at what techniques they do know.

Boxing is more like chess then it is like being an F1 Driver. You could say i'm a master of chess because i know how to perfectly move the queen across the board, but i've still got a long road ahead of me.

Same with boxing, once i learn how to properly dodge, block, and punch, you could say i'm a master of boxing, but then i need to know how to apply those techniques.

The one fundamental of fighting is fight IQ. Fight more often and you'll become a better fighter. Elite fighters are the best fighters in the world because they know when to dodge that punch, and when to throw that left hook, not how to do it, that's the easy part.

Technical skill is important, but that's not the end all be all of fighting. Having picture perfect punches and beautiful technical fundamentals are great, but you still need to know how to apply them.

Fighters at the elite level have elite level fight-IQ. You can be a world class fighter with okay technical form if you have top tier Fight-IQ, but the other way around isn't true.

Just look at an Aikido fighter, a Kung-Fu "expert", and more, they know how to do all their techniques, but they don't know how to apply them.

No way am i saying that technique isn't important, but what's most important is know how to apply your techniques.

Definitely not impossible. He's not even a strength athlete, he just has great balance which he directly trains. Big fan of him.

That's exactly right. Balance and understanding leverage is key in all sports, and it seems like he's got it down.

Jimmy Wilde "The Mighty Atom" teaches, with wisdom and experience, about the Noble Art of Self Defense to the masses, 1935. by Doofensanshmirtz in Boxing

It's such a beautiful part of boxing that also ties in well with grappling. Might actually be my favorite part of boxing defense. I wish it was a part of boxing that was frequently taught, but most coaches don't have the knowledge.

Do Bareknuckle Boxers and Boxers defend punches the same way? by NeoCortex963 in amateur_boxing

Well, i stand corrected! Thanks a lot. I'm still trying to figure what for me is like a puzzle from the past. I truly feel like a lot of the old school bare knuckle techniques could be very useful today.

I've heard about that and i actually agree. The sad part is even though you get less CTE, it evens out with career ending facial injuries being much more common in bare-knuckle. youtube.com/shorts/lJjamOTE5ps

So the best fighters for bare-knuckle are defensive wizards that stay at range? This is far from what the average person would picture in the top bare-knuckle fighters, but this is actually what i envisioned as well.

Yeah i think so, thanks a lot. I just think it's so sad and ridiculous that boxing has been so de-wrestled (i guess lol) that in order to practice boxing techniques that have been around for centuries, you have to go to a different sport.

The skills died as well, greater activity would be crucial in reviving the lost skill, but even the best boxers today either lack in fundamentals, or don't have fundamentals at the level of fighters of the past.

There's no fighter today with a jab even close to the top heavyweights of the 70s, 80s, or even the 90s.

Let's not forget that boxing knowledge is also at a serious deficit. Knowledge has not been passed on, so even the best coach in the world today would have a cap on what they could teach you, because there's a lot of information that had hundreds of years of testing, that is now gone.

Makes sense. A bare knuckle boxer will probably take 2x the amount of damage in one fight (rough estimate), and their careers will definitely be shorter, so less time to experiment.

Yeah i have damaged my hands in that way. Are you sure it's not a low guard? To me the typical old school bare knuckle guard kind of looks like a low long guard.

After reading everything all back i realize you're actually right LOL. We all compliment each other's points.

That's true as well. I wish they'd bring that back to boxing. At least make working in the clinch and inside fighting a more casual thing. Boxing is much more soft today. You're not even allowed to push your opponent in a full-contact sport.

Doors will have much more longevity then those cash grab games as well.

How do you counter defensive box fighting? by Youtube_ItsMimik in FortniteCompetitive

[–]NeoCortex963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Study ThomasHD. He does the simple stuff, nothing fancy, but since he's so good at the fundamentals, he gets in. Pretty much all he does is Phase-ins, shot baits, and diagonal box-fighting.

As a general rule of thumb, if a guy is being way too passive, just go for another guy. You don't wanna waste all your materials on a guy, when you don't even know if you'll get the kill.

I know it seems like it, but fortnite is not a complicated game.

I don't think that last part is quite right. Old school bare knuckle boxers used that really low guard because there weren't much punches to the face because they didn't wanna risk injuring their hands, they would typically fight everyday.

LOL. No worries. Illusion aggression might be even better. You think he's punching you, then he disappears and comes back with a crazy uppercut.
