http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfvqLk5awPU what should i do to gain in speed? my punches feel too slow!!
well tomato can as we stand right now means a crap fighter so i guess a whole new meaning would be a great prospect? ::
also: try not to miss the bag!!!! Watch real fighters hitting the bag. There's more too it than hitting it as hard as you can.
You throw dead weight retard punches, awesome :: To be fair, some of those left hooks weren't that slow, but the rest are, and the left hook is thrown horrendously bad and sloppily. The right hand is also far from straight, and not landing flush, you seem to be connecting with the 2 smaller knuckles on the outside of the hand. I would batter the fucking shit out of you, pollack.
not related to speed per se, but might wanna turn your weight into the punches more. On straight shots your fists are landing with a slight outward rotation wheras they should land flat or preferably slightly turned inward as your shoulders rotate. Rotate the shots at the hips as well so that, if you were to imagine the line the shot would take if your arm extended infront of you, the jab should be going off past the right side of your body the cross to your left. It'll increase your power (which looks pretty good to begin with) & it'll also improve your head movement & make combo punching more natural, cause you'll automatically be set up to throw from the other hand. Dont go overboard with it, but its something to work on.

The bags at my gym are really solid which I like because they stay put when you hit them. you need this so you can really pay attention to setting up your combos and rottating your hips. I wold also try (in the meantime) to jog the bag. What Mexican calls a retarded punch is ok to me, i.e. putting your weight in and through the bag as you hit so the bag does not move, but sort of skips as you tag it.
dsimon you don't understand, what I am calling a retard punch is a big sloppy punch swinging round like it's got a weight on the end of it, completely straight, and making contact with the inside of the fist ::
I'm sure that's not Kaliber. :: Whoever it IS...forget all this rotation and torque and punching technique....dude needs to seriously work on his footwork/placement.
how do you figure it's not me? :dunno: don't you think if i was gonna post a video of somebody other than myslef i'd pick somebody who knows how to punch properly to avoid the ridicule?
I could make a good amateur champion out of Kaliber44, as he is a winger. He has the balls to put himself on the internet, which few do.
