Coming at this from a perspective of training for the ambush (i.e., violent criminal assault), I’d be interested in continuing (because you certainly have already addressed this in different ways) teachings on:

* How to push through the adrenalized state into which one is plunged in serious violent assaults so that gross motor action is initiated and/or enhanced. Women, in assaults, for instance, often fall victim to tonic immobility which seems to be caused by intense fear (an apparent human mimicry of similar survivalistic behaviors in the animal kingdom where some creatures “play dead” in order to provoke disinterest in the predator. This, of course, will not stop the human rapist, and so is, obviously, not an effective strategy.)

Thanks!

All good wishes,

Focusing on the upper chest area…does not mean loosing sight of everything else. You still need to have peripheral vision everywhere else. The upper chest is a focal point that then fans out….it is not the absolute point of focus…just the starting point of it…make sense?

Sometimes I feel when I’m homing in on their chest, wide looping hooks come out of nowhere. Could be my novice reaction time.

Solo drills to improve punching combos. I tend to run out of combinations.

How do I get a bigger guy into the clinch effectively without him taking me to the ground?
