hello, i am a rookie in boxing (i practise for 1 year with pauses) and i do it for 3 things 1-self defense 2-fun (like a hobby)- so i avoid, even sparring 3- to teach me patience and give me fighting spirit after that said, i dont really care for correct sport technique, i just wanna be sure that i dont harm my body and that i can defend myself i always liked the wide hooks and the closed uppercuts, because they seemed more close to my natural style i recently wanted to start training in open handed hooks (wide or closed) to protect my knuckle and have the knuckles more like a finishing move if i cant do otherwise basically my question is, about how will i strike with the open hand in hook-like motion? should the thumb point floor or roof? ps, its not that i am a punk and picking on fights, i never fought, just improving myself

i didnt really understand maybe its my english i mean something like jackdempsey roll

pretty much u sum it up anyway guys thanks for ur info, another similar thing that gives me food for though i am not even medium lvl, i am just starter just i seek to do things as perfectly as i can in practise (i cut off power and speed so i can achieve it when i am solo practising) and i observed something, wanna hear ur opinions if its true or my idea! when i throw combinations my maximum "non stop" is 3 punches (different hand or not its 3) then i rethrow another 3, another 3 its not i am tired to go 4 (sometimes i go like 21 punches 7x3 in like one minute) the "recovery time" is less than half second, just for some reason its like i fix my balance and position so , what i want to discuss i noticed i can use same hand much much times (like throwing 20 left jabs in a raw) and it feels right, and even steadily increasing the power and speed ( so the 20th ends up being more a straight than jab ) something similar with uppercuts BUT when i throw circle-like punches (hooks or any other punch that doesnt stay in same vertical axis) it doesnt feels right, using same hand 2 times i tend to go left right left right, left right left right, etc its like the opposite of the rest punches if i throw 2 hooks with left , second is like half puncher, but if i go different sides every punch feels much harder than the previous (as if i charge power or something) attention i dont speak , just throw some hooks with same hand one after another, i mean combo so i feels my hips give me more speed and power when i am about to throw many hooks from different hand every time opinions?

this was pretty help full to pose it better with words i want my punches to have as much perfect technique as i can and correct speed and not so much a wild power blast i want to totally control the hand motion so i can hit to the ammount i want to make opponent unable to keep up (mentally and physically) without nessesarily doing very big and wide swings vulnerable to counters but with small precise fast and "smooth" moves so i suppose shadowboxing is the only way? i mean cause heavybag makes u throw hard punches after a while

i want hear opinions killing instinct is like nature talent from ur born (and ur early life) technique must be the fruid of hard training imo its killing technique simply cause body itself uses what it subconciously know, ur brain wont do something it knows it will hurt u (i speak for instinct, not anger) technique on the other hand is similar cause it tries to force ur body remember some movements and mechanics, the pron is that u may train it while u cant train instincts my vote goes for instincts cause simply both are body memory but in instincts it is "programmed" to do things natural to the body, where with technique u force some moves happen

i am not kickboxer, i practise boxing (and mostly for self defense and fun, not to go pro) this is what i came to conclusion when i was wanting a good way to counter punches, "stun" the opponent without making him bleed or something , hurting him from keep fighting and protect my fist for this i found body-uppercut was quite good but i wanted one straight punch too why i want this is cause if i aim it in precise spots i can totally stop the opponent (like joints) without breaking my hand on his bones thanks for your response

that quite the opposite of what i want' i told you, i practise "full body weight" punches already...why i want is light sharp and fast punches i know this is a movie but here is the example 2 kicks, first is what i train to do already, second is what i want to do http:// http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OVgiaVaGA0

i have been boxing practising for fun for some months first with teacher then i got little broke and kept by myself i read many articles about "full-bodyweight punches" and i have practised the rotations in hips the thing is i dont have to punch heavy and hard i dont want to send the opponent flying or something the nature of the punch i want to have is sharp, LIGHT and solid i tend to outboxing or even in close range i want to use short , compact punches not some enormous "rocky balboa" hooks do u have any videos of how to change my technique from "destructive force" to light, fast and nice little punch?

hello i started kickboxing before on month though i am fun of numerous arts for 2-3 years i start kickboxing only cause i didnt find boxing in area anyway, instructor isnt a close minded, he has "studied" many arts, and except from training he is learning us more things (out of kickboxing) like elbows or so, so i dont do strict kickboxing 3 questions basic stance of kickboxing, is same with boxing? its been a month in class (we are all beginners more or less) and we havent done sparring yet...isnt it too long? can the standup clinch be used in ground fight? or totally different

now that goes little of "health" but since there is topic i will post what about the submission techs? i dont see them at any video, do they cause problems aswell (i am again speaking for long term)

thaks for answers as for injuiries i wouldnt mind having some bruises or maybe have pain after a fall, what i mind is long time serious injuiries (like 1-2 months not walking properly) or permament damages especially to bones (thats why i fear for my knees and my spine) that will give me hard time in my life example i had accident in long run before 1 year, couldnt walk properly for some month, i had pains when the weather was changing 6 months after the event... So (i hope i wasnt too boring) what i mind is picking a sport to have fun and "build health", not to slowly tear my bones

hello i was thinking of starting greco roman or freestyle wrestling but i heard both of em have many permament impacts on knees and on spine the thing is i dont the reliability of the random blogs so i want opinions here i dont wanna go MMA, not wanna go pro but more like playing friendly matches just to have fun and i see it as long term hobby not just for 1 year but i hope for 10+ will i have any problem unhealable in bones or something? i dont wanna have arthritis in my 45s

i suppose this sound the best and most logical thanks

i dont have knownledge at all never been artist myself just watching matches for some years so maybe i am not qualified to judge but from what i hear muay thai (most times) on 30 can barely walk cause of the damage their legs take from the sport i never been to muay thai training but when i see sport (and not in mma, in "pure" mthay fights)i dont see any seperate philosophy i just see kickboxing with use of elbows. And this is no cause they are in ring or cause they wear gloves, i just see it that way but when more example i see a match of karate and kickboxing the differense aint only be at clothes but on style and motion of artists aswell (to way they balance their weight, the timing of hitting or the way they block its all different) as i said again i didnt do category by place only (although it sounds stupid) but muay thai (in my opinion always) is closer to west arts at least in matches and fightstyle in my point of view

oh i see, very impressive! but i didnt get a thing, excuse my english, could you translate little?
