Boxing training is very boring.
It’s repetition of the same motions, day after day.
Social media has you thinking you need to try all these extra/unrealistic combos.
All you really need to do is fire down a straight line, stick to your mechanics.

Argument aside, Devin brings up a great point:
Most dudes don’t know HOW to punch.
The mechanics of throwing an efficient & effective punch is more complicated than most would believe.
A punch from a boxer feels WAY different than a punch from a regular joe.

Jake LaMotta Shadowboxing at age 94.
Still getting pop in the punches, tapping into mechanics he trained into his body 60+ years prior.
Muscle memory is real.
But its simpler than most people think. There is nothing mysterious about it
Its motor coordination thats become neurologically strengthened over time
Even if you dont practice, you still retain the ability to perform the motor pattern to some extent

This was my problem when I started running for boxing.
Always tried to go fast af, barely got past 2 miles, and saw no benefit in the gym.
Picked up a half marathon program during lockdown. Tons of slow runs programmed, now my gas tank feels endless.
Pay your zone 2 dues.
New to running?
Avoid this very common mistake ❌👇🏼
You’ll achieve much better results & have a much healthier heart

2 days out from the Golden Gloves.
Weights on point so it’s all about sharpening the tools:
•Throwing straight down the line
•Simple shot selection
•Defensive responsibility
•Consistent positioning/level
Fancy sh*t doesn’t win fights.

Some of the strongest people you’ll see in the gym
Are the overweight people fighting the shame and awkwardness
Striving for a better, healthier, happier life
If that doesn’t motivate you...

I teach my boxers to think of their lead arm as a SHIELD.
Similar to ancient combat, strong defensive base = more opportunities.
Opponents get greedy, feedback of their punches feels good (even if not landing clean). Eventually pulls em into range.
Catch & shoot.

Lost my fight this past Saturday.
Already past it. Made plenty of mistakes though.
The time to correct them is now.
Not in the next camp. Not next week.
Now.

Don’t admire your work.
When you land a clean combo, follow it up with more.
Keep it controlled.
Your opponent feels the follow up as more than it is, leading to frantic unnatural returns and loss of energy.
Wear em down with work.

It’s the solo sessions where discipline is built.
The mornings/nights alone in the gym.
Committed to the correct techniques, not just fucking off, getting a sweat. The motions.
To push when nobody is there to yell.
No witnesses.
No external accountability.
Just the truth.

Hotel gyms one of best places to train.
Empty. No distractions.
Unfamiliar space, feels like enemy territory/traveling for fight. Reinforces your dedication and discipline.
Drops you right into an episode of embedded.

Big issue I see w/people jumping rope is jumping TOO high.
Anything higher than an inch off the ground (except dbl unders, high knees) screws up timing.
Faster + lower jumps makes it easier.
Imagine jumping over a piece of paper & find your rhythm.

Setups are essentially habits you teach your opponent to look for.
Naoya Inoue spent seven rounds spearing Fulton with jabs to the body and then used it to set up a perfect right hand.

First spar in my own gym.
Never thought I’d say those words, but here we are. A truly inexplicable feeling.
Just warming up. The fight’s just begun.

Fighters will tell themselves stories that their opponent is waking up at 6 and working
Just so they can wake up at 5 and claim that edge
Tell yourself stories that make you work harder

Gyms coming together quite nicely.
Been fascinating to learn new biz models & fulfilling to be working on something with my hands.

“Won’t be doing that when you’re my age...”
Bro
Saenchai is 42.
Yup. He’s still fighting.
Yup. He’s still winning.
Use age as an excuse at your own peril.

Foot + Hand coordination in boxing should be built slowly.
Add rolls to the movement, even slower.
Build your mechanics at a pace you can understand & train effectively.
Speed + Spring is the icing on top.
Get the base down first.

Notice how his left hook cuts across Stephen's midsection, not just directly into his side.
Fundamental demonstration of "throwing through" your opponent.
More than one way to throw a punch, especially to the body.
Everyone seems to love Aldo bodywork, how could you not?

Fighting back builds stronger character than suffering through.
You can join a boxing gym for like 100 bucks a month, go train with some young guys, get some
Pad work in, heavy bag, spar a few times a week and be challenged mentally and physically
Or you can pay for whatever this is and get humiliated like a Gimp at a BDSM party

The best way to be a good sparring partner & make the most of the session:
Match them.
1) Experienced, aggressive, throwing bombs: throw em & push pace near competition level.
2) Inexperienced, timid, slower: give them a chance to learn & work your weak areas/techniques.
