Chapter 7: Straight Punch
Wrapped in bandages and boxing gloves, Lu Biao began to teach Wang Ben boxing and standing postures.
The standing posture of boxing is the foundation, and since boxing does not allow the use of leg attacks, only punches, so in order to maintain body balance, standing posture is very important.
First of all, the arms should be naturally drooping and stand firm, the left foot should be lightly straddled forward, and it is best for you to feel comfortable and natural, the right foot should be kept apart, not in a straight line, and the feet can freely switch the force of the body at any time to avoid falling in the boxing ring, and the heel should be slightly raised, so that the weight of the body falls evenly on the front of the sole of the foot, the front leg is slightly flexed, and the center of gravity should be projected between the legs.
Next is the head, when facing the opponent, the head is slightly tilted down, the forehead is facing the opponent, the eyes are level, the eyes should be able to notice the opponent's footsteps, the waist is slightly bowed back, and the upper body is obliquely towards the opponent.
Finally, the arm, the left arm is forward, the right arm is back, the left fist is raised on the side of the chin, which can not only protect your chin and left ear, but also react quickly and make a jab, the elbow should not be raised too high to avoid affecting the defense and wasting physical strength, and the right fist is placed in front of the chest, one to protect the right side of the head, and the other is to form a posture of hitting a heavy punch at any time.
In short, the standing posture of boxing needs to achieve the integration of offense and defense, and the body can be adjusted to the best position of attack at any time.
For a whole hour, Wang Ben kept adjusting his standing posture, looking like a boxer.
After Lu Biao saw that it was about the same, he began to teach Wang Ben boxing footwork.
Boxing footwork looks simple, but there's actually a lot of content in it.
Forward and backward left and right sliding steps, sprint steps, sharp backward steps, left and right flash steps, left and right circle steps, and backward and backward sliding and parallel steps are all common footwork in boxing matches.
Wang Ben has practiced martial arts, which are more demanding on footwork, and in order to increase the strength of his legs, he often takes horse steps.
The footwork in boxing is similar to the 'walking' in martial arts, which is natural and casual, and less demanding.
Therefore, Wang Ben quickly mastered the boxing footwork skills, and in less than half an hour, he met Lu Biao's requirements.
"Huh? Learned so quickly? Lu Biao was taken aback when he saw it, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.
Beginners practice boxing footwork, generally very stiff, want to achieve a smooth and natural realm, must carry out long-term training, but Wang Ben has just practiced, soon became agile, natural, not at all like just practiced, but like a boxer who has been practicing for several years.
After practicing boxing footwork for a while, Lu Biao nodded and explained to Wang Ben, asking him to strengthen the training of his feet in the future, increase the memory of speed in the nervous system, and change the direction at any time in the ring.
"Yes, you look a little bit of a boxer now, let's practice boxing." Lu Biao was very satisfied with Wang Ben's receptivity.
Straight boxing is the most basic boxing method in boxing, almost any boxer has to practice straight boxing, straight boxing is divided into two kinds, one is a quick close test, called 'jab), the other is a long-distance attack straight boxing, the general boxer needs to practice the most is short straight boxing.
Especially the left straight punch, the boxer in the ring uses the most frequently, continuous direct strike action, generally used to attack, or to spy on the opponent's next move, disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm, from punching to hitting the target, in a straight line, fast and sharp, the speed of hitting and retreating is agile and fast. When punching, with the power of kicking the ground, like a poisonous snake, it strikes in a straight line and retracts in a straight line.
It can be said that straight punches are the most direct punches in the ring, and they are the fulcrum of the attack.
An excellent boxer generally uses a straight left fist to constantly probe forward, interfere with the opponent's movements, seize the opportunity, and attack with a heavy right hand, which can give the opponent a heavy blow and even end the fight.
In his previous life, Tyson, boxing champion Ali, Lewis, and heavy gunner George Foreman all used this fast-forward style of play, often knocking out opponents with one punch, so they have a high knockout rate in the ring.
In fact, no matter what level of boxing champion it is, to achieve a high knockout rate, it must be very good at this kind of direct hitting.
Therefore, if you want to knock out your opponent in the ring, or not be knocked out by your opponent, straight punch training is very important.
Straight punches are divided into left straight punches and right straight punches, and in the ring, there are all kinds of opponents, and sometimes when you encounter a left-hander, you use a right straight punch.
However, most of them are training left straight boxing, and there are not many left-handers after all, let alone left-handers who fight boxing. Therefore, most people don't practice right straight boxing, which is the same as holding chopsticks to pick up vegetables, after all, there are very few people who use their left hand to pick up vegetables, which is very awkward and very unaccustomed.
However, Wang Ben has a good balance between his left and right hands, which can be seen from the test data, and the attack strength of his two arms is very close.
This is the result of practicing martial arts since he was a child, he began to practice boxing at the age of four, and the old man required him to achieve a balance between left and right at all times, and to be able to change the direction of attack at any time.
Habit becomes natural, over the years, Wang Ben has become accustomed to the balance of his left and right hands, he can write with his left hand, and he can also hold chopsticks with his left hand, and the transition between left and right is very natural, and he will not feel awkward.
Seeing Wang Ben practicing his right straight fist, Lu Biao was a little stunned, but then he seemed to think of something, and his face showed a hint of surprise.
"Balance left and right, suddenly change the direction of attack in the ring, damn, it's a waste for this kid not to box!"
Wang Ben practiced for a moment and began to bow his head and ponder.
The straight punch in boxing, similar to the straight punch in Bagua boxing, is a straight line attack, the only difference is that the target of the attack is different, the straight punch is usually aimed at the position near the opponent's head, and the straight punch is the heart of the opponent's chest, the straight punch pays attention to sudden, short force, and strong penetration.
Maybe it's because of the boxing method that has been practiced for so many years, Wang Ben's habits are difficult to change for a while, every time he punches straight punches, he unintentionally has a hint of punching flavor, and the momentum of punching adds a lot of color to the punching straight punch.
So, it looks like his straight punches are very sudden, and they are fast, and the punches are very powerful, which is difficult to guard.
However, from the appearance, the posture of the two punches is very close, but the principle of force is different, and Wang Ben's straight punch has become a heavy straight punch.
Lu Biao felt a little weird, and always felt that this straight punch was a little different, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything different, after all, Wang Ben's posture was very standard, they all attacked in a straight line and retracted in a straight line.
"Strange thing, how can this kid's straight punch be so powerful?" Lu Biao frowned, he wanted to correct it, but he couldn't point out the mistake, so he could only shake his head and leave him alone.
Chinese martial arts, which contains a variety of power skills, boxing is a confrontational competitive event, which is equivalent to the boxing to the extreme, other body parts can only be assisted, all its techniques, can find similar boxing in martial arts.
What's more, Wang Ben has practiced boxing for thirteen years, and the boxing techniques taught to him by the old man almost integrate the essence of the three major domestic internal boxing, and the boxing skills of various schools are involved.
After learning boxing, the boxing technique is easy to run in with boxing, so Wang Ben adapts to the practice very quickly.
However, after Lu Biao taught Wang Ben boxing footwork and straight punches, he did not continue to teach him other movements, but let him practice freely.
