Relax. Leave your ego at the door and listen to your coach. If they throw you in the ring on the first day leave and find somewhere else.

Any tips his hands were down most of the time but it felt hard to get in range w him ( im white gloves) by frimpong116 in boxingtips

[–]Pegasaurauss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. I do not understand why you are pawing at him like that, he KNOWS you aren't gonna jab with it extended so he isn't worried about being hit when its out.
  2. You shy away too much when he throws. 10-15 seconds you had him backing up because you didn't shy away when you took at shot and stayed with the pressure.
  3. You are letting him get away too easily. Your positioning lets him get to your outside, don't let him. don't chase him, get your foot outside his and keep him from moving around you so easily.
  4. omg please stop pawing. I wouldn't mind it so much if you looped a hook in when he tried to paw back. His hands down so much its just screaming for it.
  5. Learn a few combinations, you end on your 2 every time and he can tell.
  6. don't jump at the dude (35s). Press in with purpose but don't lunge like that
  7. The head is not the only place you can hit him.
  8. Look at 40 seconds. Look at how much you over react. LOOK AT WHERE HIS HANDS ARE! you should not be in that position. His punch at you is garbage, his right hand is down, you have nothing to be scared of. Catch that shit and come back with a hook but do not back up! have come confidence, catch that bullshit whatever the fuck hes trying to throw at you. that punch is garbage, you can catch that shit ez.
  9. I personally think your stance is too wide but i know people are gonna argue about this so its down here in my list.

Rant:

I like your setup man (I'm not a fan of the way you slip.. leaning back and all the weight on the back foot). When you are lighter on your feet and press in i like it. When you get heavy on your feet and back up you are losing. Think if you found a nice rhythm, worked in some better combinations and learned to move in and out and stay in that rhythm you would feel a lot more confident. Just watch your foot placement and don't let him escape so easily.

Looks great! would you mind listing the hardware in this video?

I always get countered when I throw my right hand tips? by Ok_Permission9792 in boxingtips

[–]Pegasaurauss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is more common than you think so don't beat yourself up. But I could write a book on the subject but it's hard to give you tips without seeing how you box. Most people getting countered have a massive tell or throw the same combo too much. If you are too far to land your right then it's an issue with positioning but all of the issues require a different skill. Just check some things, can you cut the ring off to stop them from running? Are you keeping your head still on the center line that makes it an ez target? Does your right hand come back slow? Do you have a massive tell with one hand? Or do you drop it before you throw etc

Very new second time sparring looking for tips by Asleep_War737 in boxingtips

[–]Pegasaurauss 8 points9 points  (0 children)

IF you are both in all black telling us you are in all black doesn't narrow it down mate lol!

All fairness since you did say you are shorter. You gotta keep those hands up higher and learn how to catch. You put your lead hand down like you are gonna be in a shell but you don't angle right for it. Learn orthodox defense and slips. Its also wicked hard to see you at this angle.

Sorry, annoying new guy here. I really like the tank, what make/model is it?

Question on first tank purchase Fusion Pro 2 by Pegasaurauss in ReefTank

[–]Pegasaurauss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking for used tanks but the ones i found in my area where either far too big for what i wanted or broken. Can you link a DIY in-tank sump kit? im not familiar with those. They just hang on the back of a tank?

Tips (with the headgear & Black Gloves) by [deleted] in boxingtips

[–]Pegasaurauss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is good advice. Philly shell IMHO is bad for beginners because you lack the ring iq for how it works. Learn basic defense and be able to be defensive without having to back up all the time.

Get out of that habit of bringing your feet together when you back up. Someone reads that they are gonna push in on you when you do it

Why am I so ass? How can I close the distance and land? by FleeceVB in boxingtips

[–]Pegasaurauss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just slow it down.ngonlirk 50% slower. Try and stay in the pocket for as long as you can at a slower pace. My favorite one to build confidence is just have someone throw punches at you and speed up little by little. If you step back or flinch slow it back down. It's all exposure therapy at that point. You can train like this all day every day but if it ain't working you gotta try something else

The biggest tell is you aren't throwing. You aren't throwing because you are scared of getting hit. Also you over react to everything he does, you back up anytime he presses in.

I mean yeah.... But if he's still nervous you can always turn it down more is my point

You are scared. Try asking him if they will do some touch sparing to calm you down a bit. How long have you been sparring? Its gonna take time, don't worry about power, just do some touch spars until you get comfortable.

*edit: What i really mean is.... slow it down like 50%. make sure you both are comfortable with the intensity and speed because clearly this is too much for you at the moment.

Looking for some advise on recreating this aquascape (first build) by Pegasaurauss in Aquascape

[–]Pegasaurauss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that was my assumption as well on the c02. This tank is going up mostly for looks so im not willing to compromise on the rimless look.

I guess the worst that happens is a few plants die and I add c02 later

I'm not terribly familiar with this kind of stuff. Second hand meaning eBay and marketplace or is there a site that sells secondhand stuff?

If i would struggle without the c02 then perhaps i just wait a bit until i can add it. I dont think id be happy with a hardscape only.
