so today i already know why I got jabbe and not counter timing correctly
todays drill we are asked to counter after jab, punch at the same time
when it mars turn to jab, i find myself unable to timing myself , i got jab again and again and i time my counter very late
i think mars also got the same problem , when i jabs, it got through him , again and again,
the reason for both of us is very simple , the distance management
so coach mention a very important aspect
he says, its not your oppoennt that determin when to jab, its you
and so he tell us to move , keep the distance and when you are ready, stay, only then you are sure they are about to jab
to be honest, this enlight me a lil , i know this concept. it is asking your opponent to attack by putting yourself in certain position
it allow you to have timeframe of knowing when the opponent going to attack
when you are not ready move
i really found my self many time in bad position when drilling with mars
position where i couldnot counter with my cross
at the end of the training, coach mention something that really hit me
he said, find partner that is stronger thatn you
its not mars is weak, he is a good fighter, it just that i know there is stronger partner i could spar with. the one kid with a good timing , and the tall boxer with fancy footwork. But I know deep down i try to ignore them
I also dont know if i push hard enough in training today.
it really annoying, when you caught yourself, trying to get easy fight
how can i become world champion wiht this mindset?
gad damn
