Landing clean shots through a defense(boxing newbie)
its my 4th week of boxing and I got a chance to do body shots today, the person I sparred with has been doing this for like 7 months and I didn't really seem to land too many flush shots to his body.
Actually I was getting hit back, a ton. I manned out through it to get conditioned to the shots. I was hitting him back as well, I just don't think I hit him as many times as he hit me
the whole thing about going to the body, is that it needs to be a counter punch.For example, he jabs, you slip inside it and throw a straight right hand to his body. He jabs, you slip outside it and land a hook to his belly. It is all slip and counter.
Try and have a Boxing Trainer Evaluate your potential to box!! Being in your 4th week in a gym should not have in the ring boxing anything other than Oranges!! Sounds like your being "taught" under fire. Thats the wrong way to teach a student. What country are you in? Ray
