I've have minor experience in martial arts-- just a tad over 6 years. It's not much, I know, but I'm looking to broaden my skills. After fighting in KOTC Saturday up in Port Huron (I won second round, but it was a battle!), I really decided I want to try to make something out of this.
I have a great coach that's been boxing since he was 8 and he's well-rounded in jujitsu/wrestling/mma,etc, but I'm wondering how different it'd be to spar [boxing] from a male and a female? Does that make sense? I know there is physical/chemical differences, but would it really make a different?
What are some drills I could do to lean out my arms/make punches quicker? What can I do to get me in the habit of keeping my freakin hands up? It's like when my nerves kick in during a fight, my hands go numb and ****** out and I get popped several times in the face, forget all my stand up training, and have to rely on my ground game to save my butt.
Any tips? I'm 5'8" and fight at 155lb, although I want to cut down to 140-145 weight. Any tips on getting to that weight by June or July? Is eating lean protein and vegetables key?
Hope this makes sense and that I get some serious answers. Thanks!
(Oy, I train in the Toledo, OH area. Anyone know where I can do some smoker boxing fights so I can start learning to use my hands without always having to rely on my jujitsu to save me in my mma fights?)
