[Sportsandrec] Fw: Boxing Tips?

Tue Jun 30 23:48:15 UTC 2009

Joe,
We got the message today. The original post did not come through.
Wow, I didn't know you liked being so rough.  Shouldn't surprise me; guys 
like that.
I like punching to relieve stress but I do it to targets that are non human 
such as pillows.
Can you explain more. How long have you done kickboxing and what sort of 
setting?  A class?
Did you learn when you had more vision?  Other than Kelly on this list, I've 
not met a blind boxer or kickboxer.  So you are the second I know of in 
cyberspace.
How do you hit your target?  Do you just memorize where the punching bag is 
in relation to you?
If you learned when you were blind I imagine it took a lot of hands on 
instruction.  What is the difference between kickboxing and boxing?

I know just a little about both sports like the names of moves and the 
object of the activity.
I got introduced to the basic four punches and a couple kicks when I tried 
that cardio kick class that didn't work out.  I couldn't follow it since it 
was so fast paced and not enough auditory cues for me.
How much do you know?  More than the basic punches of jabs, crosses, hooks 
and uppercuts?

Can you explain what you mean by this?
" I like to work the bags, pool sprints, and lunge work.
I like kick boxing as I enjoy the precision of
> the placement of punches and kicks to achieve victory."
Yes kickboxing is precise.  Is the goal to knock your opponent down or what 
makes victory here?
I didn't know what pool sprints meant; and lunges that I know of are a lower 
body exercise to strengthen the legs.  So maybe you mean something else.

This is interesting to learn about.
Everett I think you're confusing Joe with other people.  He did not send 
anything except today on this subject line.
