More information for breaking wood

More information for breaking wood.

The kind of wood.

-There's all kinds of wood, from soft wood to hard wood.

An idea for another kind of boxing competitions

1 minute rounds. 3-5 rounds.

Knockdown is a loss.

Preventing the heavy bag from swinging

1 Clinch punches, standing against the bag and holding the bag with the other arm and doing punches.
2 Holding the bag with one hand and doing hook punches with the other hand.
3 Double hook punches.

4 With a heavy duty, thick bar rack it's possible to hold the rack with one hand and then hit the
  heavy bag with the other hand.

I also do this in my house and it works very well.

Boxing notes 12 By Jef Koelewijn

Multiple counters:
 Block and then punch right away with the blocking or diverding arm.
 -Very effective with hook block and then punch.
 Block with one arm or hand and then punch with the other arm
 Diverd and punch with the arm with which you diverted a punch
 Diverd and punch with the other arm
 Evade and counter
And if he goes into the punch it hits harder. So if he gives a left hook
and you duck under by to the right side and power punch hook him with the right arm it hits very hard.
And you can diverd a punch so that he goes into the punch of the other arm

-

Less wide stance can create more reach from standing point. Wider stance is less reach from standing point.
Make a punch, hold it and widen and shorten your stance and see your reach from your standing point.
-But there are differences in power

-

Interesting to try:
 Opponent circles to the right of you, throw a right hook
 Opponent circles to the left of you, throw a left hook

-

Footwork training while there's water to around just below the knee area

Strongman wrestling and strongmen wrestling update

Strongman wrestling:
 1 Will be done in between two lines, a track with a line on each end. And you have to push
   the opponent over this line. Both contenders can only push forward.
 2 Is in a circle or square and takedowns are not allowed, pushing only.
 

Strongmen wrestling:
 I will change the name strongman wrestling into strongmen wrestling for every other wrestling event.

Boxing notes 10 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

There are a lot of shadow boxing styles.
Mainly the styles depend on what kind of boxer you are an infighters shadow boxing is different from an outfighers shadow boxing and a slugger shadow boxes different to.
Many people only think about people floating around the canvas, well let me tell you that's not the only style out there.
And you can train all kinds of things with shadow boxing like: Punches (Normal, speed, power punches and for power punches I'd advice to get the kinetic chain and timing right), footwork and movement, evading, tight high guard, guard styles and blocking and diverding. You can train one, a couple or all the above trainings with shadow boxing.

If you have trouble holding the tight high guard up with the under arms close to each other and with the underarms and hands protecting the face. You can do certain arm stretches. And you can just hold the position and maybe move around. And maybe even do some evading. The more muscled you are the more likely it is hard to hold the tight high guard.

For the tight high guard to be effective you also need to do hook blocks.
And you need a strong abdominal area.

With the tight high guard you can also hone in on your opponent and knock him out.

Hold the line with sparring.

Moving sideways and punching.
Moving backwards and punching.
Pivotting and punching.
Circling and punching.
Moving forwards and punching.
And moving in angles and punching.

Power punches from around waist hight.

There's a punch called the kangaroo punch or the gazelle punch. Search it up if you want. It's a jumping punch.

A harder punch by putting the back foot forward and then the front foot forward. With the right timing.

Another power punch: Making oneself big, standing on the balls of the feet and then explode down with a downward direct punch or a downward hook.

Boxing notes 9 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

Shadow boxing on sand

Sparring on sand

-

Jump rope skills
And jump rope variations
 Very good for footwork and more

-

If the opponent protects the sides of his head you can hit the front and if he protects the front you can hit the sides.

And hitting the front can open up the sides or make them vulnerable. And hitting the sides can open up the front and mainly the jaw.

-

A somewhat downward direct punch against the chin

-

Let your training partner constantly try and punch you and evade everyfhing or block and diverd everything or a combination of the two. And step two counters.

By Jeffrey Koelewijn from South Holland

New fighting sports I found of which three are MMA like

Combat sambo (Russian)

Shooto (Japanese)
Kudo    (Japanese)

All three are MMA like.

And I found khardiorda: wrestling, krivi: boxing and rkena: throws and grabs (Georgian)

Freestyle wrestling (Western)

And Bökh, wrestling (Mongolian)

Boxing notes part 6 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

I am my own trainer and I make notes.


 Notes:

Evade and counter. Evading and countering.
Block and counter. Blocking and countering.
Diverd and counter. Diverding and countering.

-

Bobbing and weaving while holding up the blocking guard where the hands and underarms protect the head.

-

When you punch somewhere it can open up a spot somewhere else.

Destroying the opponents guard.

-

Direct punches can open up the sides of the opponents blocking guard.
And hooks can open up the face.

-

Combining evading and blocking and diverding.

-

Take a punch to the body and counter with a power punch.

-

There are round heavy bags to train straight punches uppercuts and hooks.
And there are wall mount bags-pads.

-

Switch hitting, changing the stance by putting the other leg forward
There are multiple ways to change stance, at the spot, by stepping backwards with the front leg and more.
It's best done at key and safe moments. And it can throw the opponent of balance and there are differences in defence and openings.
It can also be done during an attack.
And a left powerpunch is harder with the right leg in front.

-

Explosive power is very important for power punches and fast movements.
So doing explosive and explosive power trainings help a lot.

Boxing notes part 5 by Jeffrey Koelewijn

I am my own trainer and I make notes. And they might be very usefull

This is part 5 of my boxing notes

Also important offcourse:

Basic conditioning

Agility

And staying flexible

-

Extra: Checking the biomechanics of boxing

-

Muscle memory

-

Legal in boxing, street fight like power punches (legal ones)
 Can be very effective

-

Constantly letting the one holding the mitts move the mitt or mitts

For training to fight very active opponents who are also (very) hard to hit

-

Throw like punches

They tend to be effective against hard to hit opponents and they are mainly used against hard to hit opponents

-

If you're punches aren't connecting make them connect

-

Sparing methods:

Avoid contact for as much as possible

Lower guard or going in to a higher and defensive guard and defend like no other
 Offcourse if possible time a knock out blow or if you see an opponing go right for it

Go in to outboxing in a certain style and spare energy

Timing

-

Reading

-

Tactics

--

Pummeling hooks

A hook where the wrist is first curled towards the under arm and
then explodes towards the opponent
-Don't hurt the wrist. Timing is very important. And might be extra dangerous on the heavy bag.

--

Unique movement, is in some boxers fighting style(s) and can have very interesting aspects

--

Non telegraphic punch(es)
 Punches that the opponent does not see coming

--

Rewind a knock out a couple of times and you can see how it is really done
 And you can look at all kinds of things

--

Multiple ways of punching with hand, grip tension
 From semi relaxed to a hard punch
 From clenched to even harder clenched
 From relaxed to a hard and fast snap punch

Hard snap punches by clenching the fist at the right moment
 Can also be done in combinations

Seeker styled jabs
 Fist pointing forward
 Hard and fast, powerfull, explosive jabs
 Moving towards the head movements
 Precalculating movement and striking hard

Making great combinations

--

Not tested yet and if legit:
Punching vertical in to the guard and then twisting the fist

From loaded and twisted position a hard right straight
 First a backward and twisting motion and then an hard and explosive punch
  It's called loading a punch. And the twist makes it even harder.
   But it also has dangers
 And it's not like a corckscrew punch

--

Extreme corckscrew punch
 Full twist beforehand to the other side
 And full twist when hitting

 Warning: Corckscrew punches have dangers

Not tested yet:
Corckscrew liver blow

 Warning: Corckscrew punches have dangers
 Also for your joints if you do them repeatedly or train them repeatedly

Or a corckscrew against the rib cage
 I know bare handedly it works and is effective, but hard to land

--

A block by just closing
 Just putting the hands together
  Can be very effective

--

Do sparring and get experience

--

Fast legs and feet can also give way for faster punches

--

Mexican style boxing

--

Small circle and sparring
 Infighing and or close contact training and or surviving

--

Angles
Training angles

Certain angles can give an advantage
And certain angles can even be used for knockout punches

-

Angle and hit from the side
 If legal

Angle and hit from a blind spot

--

Putting angles in combinations, while doing combinations

--

Long hooks

--

The long uppercut

--

Philly shell

--

Shoulder slipping

--

Blocking can be done with the hands and under arms
With the under arms there are multiple ranges to block
from just below the wrist, the middle to near the elbow.

And blocking with two hands at the same time is possible
 Not tested yet: Hard diversion of a punch
                 Extra: A hard knock out punch towards the opponent where you push him to

Extra: Blocking can even be done with the shoulder.

--

Agility ladder with speed

Jump rope with speed

--

Speed punch training

Simply fast punches
Fast combinations right after each other
Fast punches right after each other
Fast single punches

Not too conditional else speed might and will go down in time
Good intervalls and not too long

--

Hand and arm speed trainings

Foot and leg speed trainings

And some power, explosive power trainings

--

Hard power punches
1 Hard single power punches
2 Hard power punch combinations
3 continues, 6 to 8 power punches right after each other

Not really conditional else power will go down
Good intervalls and not too long

--

Power trainings

Explosive power trainings

--

Combining speed and power for explosive power and fast and powerfull, hard and fast
punches and punch combinations

Boxing notes 3

Combination and powerpunch

Jab and powerpunch

-

Untouchable

 Being untouchable

Evading

-

Blocking and diverding punches
 Blocking can be done with both hands or one hand
 And can also be done with both or with one arms underarm

 Diverding can also be done in multiple ways
  Diverding a punch to the side
  Diverding a punch to below
  From a slight diversion to a big conversion

And hard, fast and powerfull counters

-

Also called dempsey roll
 Hooks Left, right, left, right

-

Corckscrew punch
 Twist when hitting, or some twisting when hitting

Be carefull though it might have a certain injury when doing against the heavy bag or too much times.

-

Double end ball

 Great for reflexes and timing

 Can be done together with evading

 Great for learning to punch the opponents head, also when he moves around alot

-

Shuffling
 180 degree shuffling for example

Full side like steps

-

90 degree turns

-

Brawlers
 Is a boxing style

-

Boxing styles are broad, sometimes overlap and there are hybrid styles and new or newer boxing, fighting
styles

-

Hit to where he is moving to

-

Punch from somewhat above and then an unsuspected uppercut

-

You can also diverd, parry a punch with the under arm

-

Spanning two ropes for slip rope training
  Two ways: One over the other forming a cross in the middle and 90 degree corner
            And two next to each other with enough space in between to stand in between

-

I still have to test this

Sparring in the sand or on level soft beach sand

-

Power from the ground. With that I mean push into the ground as hard and explosive as possible
as hard, fast and powerfull as possible.

Try and use your whole body.


In a sequence

-

Speed punches, also from the ground. Very fast push into the ground. For a barrage of punches
very fast after each other.

-

When fighters make powerpunches or very fast punches look at their movements.

Look at their legs, look at their hip movement, look at how they turn in
and look how they get all that power and speed to the fist and then against the opponent.

Look how they build up. turn up if they do.

And you can also look how much weight they set into it.

-

Look at how fighters time and or set up a knockout punch

Boxing notes 2

 Boxing notes 2

Punching with the right hand first can land an unexpected combination

-

The better your guard, the less you will feel punches against your head, if your hands are punched against your head.

Important: Experience


Hands a little bit away from the head or tightly against the head

-

Backwards movement evade

-

Two main high guards ?
 One with the palms facing the head
 And one with the outside of the hands facing forward

-

With hook blocks, be carefull not to stick out your elbow too much
because you can hit your opponent and that would be illegal in boxing

-

Punch in the face can dazzle your opponement for a very short time
 Normally with a jab

you can use this time for a power punch

-

Feeling punches don't connect, or connect less. Some fighters have this ability and it very interesting

You can train for not making the opponents punches connect

And here's how you can train to make them connect:
1 Trap the opponent in the ropes or even better the corner
2 Make him come to you and or counters, they connect better
3 Doing a certain combination and then a hard power punch at the right time

And another method:
4 Less good but might work a faint, throw him off balance

-

Lure him and power punch

-

You can make a punch less predictable by just not looking where you are going to hit, but know where
you are going to hit. Kind of look, know but don't look, or don't make it obvious.

-

You can predict a punch, especially a power punch, because he steps in, he turns in.
By hand movements, sometimes. by shoulder movement, sometimes.

-

If you can predict a punch you can also easier do a power punch counter, knock out.

MMA notes 2

 MMA notes 2

Winning by low kicks is possible
 You can knock down your opponent or hit him so hard with low kicks that he is defeated

-

Getting out of holds, locks, chokes and bars.

There are multiple methods and one might work better then the other, depending on the situation.
 You basicly have to have some experience, some things might be dangerous in certain situations.
 And don't get forget to tab out when needed, really needed

1 Twisting, turning your way out
2 Brute force
   Maybe even pick him up
3 Also lay a lock or bar
4 Striking
5 Very rapid short movements, get crazy, agressive or and get out
6 Make yourself big, inhale and then suddenly exhale and get out
7 Everytime creating a little bit more space and holding the position

8 Maybe block his sight legally, might work. and a punch right in the face
  also blocks the sight and might dazzle for a short period of time. But I haven't tested this yet

With standing chokes, locks, holds and bars you might be able to throw the opponenemt over you
or take him down. Though you have to know when this is possible, there are some dangers.
