Neil Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 You know when you go to your club and you are concentrating as hard as you can but for some really stupid reasen your body just doesn't seem to respond to what the mind is telling ti. It keeps happening every wednesday when we get the mast out for 2 hours and some throwing. I always seem to krao it up. I always keep using upper body strengh to trow the person instead of the moment and the whole principle of yin/yang. Even thought you are concentrating and listening and watching like it was the end of the world and your life depended on it you still can't do it!!!! Anyone else have this problem and how do you over come it? thanks, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickChick Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 You think its bad now...wait till you're my age! It's a daily struggle!! You just have to keep on... keeping on! Just never say that 4-letter word "can't"! Truly at times its more mental than physical when you're young and visa versa later on in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaiFightsMS Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 You didn't say how long you have been training. Some of that will gradually disappear as your time training increases and the muscle memory increases. Technique always gets better with lots and lots of practice over time.

G95champ Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 One day it will click. When it does you will know it. Its hard to explain but at some point in your trainiing you will have done a move enough that it will hit you that you now understand. Only hard work will get you to that point so don't give up....

Neil Posted December 23, 2002 Author Share Posted December 23, 2002 Well it started about 5 weeks ago when we started doing the throwing. The first time we did it I was very good at it. But the next week I failed for the whole 2 hour session!! Again after that and after that and after that. I seem to have some disease with throwing. Everything else just clicks and a lot of the time I do great as opposed to average. The times when I krap are is when we do the throwing. I gues I just have to learn to focus on the very techniques by making my body floppy purley for the sake of teching my self to use technique.

KickChick Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 ok.... I see what you're saying now. Well, if when you were first starting, you were very good at throwing, than you know you can do it. Relax and don't get so stressed out about it!

G95champ Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Sort of like a good shooter in basketball who gets a few bad calls early and starts missing their shots. Most basketball coaches will let the player shoot themselves out of the rut or set them down until they can get their mind right again. Hope that ex helps. (General George S.

Phloop Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Neil, It sounds like your expecting too much from your self. Your constantly comparing your throws to how you did the first day. Don't. Next time you practice throws try this, don't think about your first day, don't think about last week, don't even think about how your doing that day. Insted only foucus on the moment and being relaxed. You said that you were using too much upper body strength. Could that be because you are too stressed out over how your doing? Nobody wants to fight, but someone needs to know how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
