Turned A Corner
I’ve been getting up early each day and doing my new high intensity 40 minutes of cardio in the morning. I’m not a morning person so for me to roll out of bed at 7:00 AM each day is a huge thing.
Tonight I got in 3 rounds of sparring with a new partner. He’s smaller and faster, but not a counterpuncher. I felt really good each and every round, my punches were getting through, landed rights and body punches, my defenses were sound, I was counter punching, holding the center of the ring, cutting off the ring, etc. I even asked for a 4th round, but it was not in the cards.
I’ve been working on opening my hips and bending at the knee on my front leg more. This is helping my hook in both speed and power. I’m hoping to see it land more in sparring. I’ve also been studying my Title Boxing Counterpunching video and working on some counter punches.
