Alright here’s the thing ever time I hit the heavy bag or when I shadow box I make a devastating mistake. I’ve noticed that I tend to lead with my head/face. Which is completely a stupid thing to do but its out of habit and its really pissing me off. I need some help, anyone know anything I could do to get out of this habit of mine. This makes my punches completely easy to read. Im actually scared to hit the bag for fear of permanent damage. I need some real help. Thanks a lot guys. Good luck to every one in ‘07

Extend your punch and aim like you are looking down the barrel of a gun.....

Hmm, I like the way you put it.

While it's basically one fluid motion, I like to "focus" on moving the arm first, than the body... kinda. I guess it's hard to explain. But basically, you don't wanna telegraph with your body "shoulder" as I find that also exposes your face. Finally, just practise, when I started, I hated keeping my chin in, in felt odd, you've just gotta get used to it.

if ur really keen try hittin the bag with a tennis ball under your chin. thatll keep it down and get u in the habbit.

do everything slowly until you get used to it, then pick the speed back up

thanks alot guys ill keep all that in mind!! i got to slow it down and get it right then ill pick it up! thanks alot. take care!

keep ur t shirt neck clenched in ur teeth...itll bring your jaw down and your mouth closed so your jaws stiff and u breather through your nose
