Keep your punches tight exercise

KEEP YOUR PUNCHING TIGHT: A quick exercise I give my students to do when I’m getting them to throw punches in a combination, is to visualise that they’re punching through a small square. ⁣
⁣
You don’t want your fists to come outside of the square boundaries when you’re initiating the punch. If you do this then you’re probably swinging in the shots as opposed to staying in control. ⁣
⁣
Common mistakes when people first start training is throwing hooks from the hip in an attempt to gain more momentum & for the same reason, dropping the hand too low when throwing uppercuts. ⁣
⁣
Look at yourself in the mirror, visualise the square then nice and steadily go through your punches making sure they’re tight and compact. I also want you to keep your opposite hand touching your face, this will give you a reminder to bring the punch straight back once you’ve thrown it. ⁣
⁣
Give it a try and see how you get on.⁣…and also remember you must learn the rules well before you break them.
