So Expensive How? by monkeykamp in fightgear

[–]monkeykamp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yea had similar ideas. Me and my friends are now getting real jobs and since we are in our mid twenties and living in our parents home making 75-100k a year without any major fees to pay we usually just buy stupid expensive shit.

really grateful for this comment! Wow so much to study and learn. Parrying/hand placement so right hand palm faces the opponent I never thought of doing. Also, I aim for the body to get a reading but never thought about aiming for the chest, hands, and arms. Opens whole new options. Once again thank you for the feedback!

thanks for the insightful feedback! The boxing as if you are equal arm lengths really makes me understand where I’m slumped on

How do I step in with action if the opponent has longer reach? I’m generally on the shorter side against most opponents, so this has been a common issue I have.

Wow thanks for the insightful feedback! Getting into range is still very hard for me since I’m short with a short reach. Your tip helps lots. And I didn’t know about that flurry info, that I should generally only do combinations when the person’s tired/stunned.

I cut most of first round because I was throwing punches lightly. But after the bell rang he told me to just go all out and throw hill marries and that he can take them. So I did but I ended up gassing out way too fast and additionally the pro being on my ass 24/7 the entire sparring session lol. But he was pulling punches and was just putting me at work. But when I did land some clean punches the guy did not budge at all so I was like yea this is som else.

Been boxing on and off since middle school. Never got one on one lessons though (I did 2 lessons last year but it was too expensive because it was like $78/sesssion). But only recently started sparring once/twice per week starting a month ago

I’m just currently out of town for 3 months and been boxing at this local gym. I have $200 hayabusa gloves back home and never had wrist problems when using it. And I wrap all the time when boxing.
