Chapter 3 Sadler's Boxing Instruction

Sadler's first lesson to Wang Lei was how to make the right fists. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Sadler thought that this was a very important lesson, and Wang Lei had to listen attentively.

The correct fist stance not only enhances the effective striking force, but also prevents injuries to the fist, especially the fingers.

According to statistics, the most common injury accident in the ring is a fist injury to the fingers, especially the thumb joint.

The reason is not only that the fist is clenched in an incorrect position, but also that the fist is not in the right point of contact with the target.

The opponent in the boxing ring is not a sandbag or a boxing target, a punch on the opponent's hard head, according to the non-standard fist posture and the wrong contact point, such as hitting the hard part of the opponent's head with the side of the thumb joint when punching, under the interaction effect of force, even if there is a thick fist protection, it will also cause severe pain or even fracture of the thumb joint.

This kind of saying Wang Lei had experienced in his previous life, because he accidentally hit the opponent's head with a punch in the fight, but he hurt his thumb, which hurt him for several days, and his thumb joints were swollen.

Sadler's fist clenching posture is similar to that of other schools of martial arts, emphasizing that the fist should be flat, the thumb should be tightly buckled at the second joint of the second finger of the index finger, and the back of the fist and wrist joint should be flat, forming a perfect 90 degrees with the fist face.

Sadler emphasized that regardless of whether you use a straight fist or a hook attack, you must touch the strike surface with the fist peak, and you must not use the part other than the fist peak, especially the thumb knuckle, to touch the strike surface.

Later, Sadler taught Wang Lei how to wrap bandages.

A good bandage can effectively reduce the chance of fist and finger injuries.

After wrapping the bandages and putting on a pair of red boxing gloves weighing 226 grams, Sadler began to teach Wang Lei to stand.

The standing posture of boxing is the foundation of the basics, and beginners must pay attention to it.

If you don't stand in the right position, it's easy for your opponent to find a gap and hit the key point in the face.

Although the standing posture of boxers is very different, beginners are all the same, and it is necessary to use a standard standing posture.

Completely different from the three-body stance of Xingyiquan, Sadler stressed the need to ensure that both fists are always raised under the line of sight of the face, and no matter how punches are closed, they must not fall. The knees of the legs must be bent and the heels must be raised.

After constantly adjusting his standing posture, he stood for about ten minutes before Sadler was satisfied.

After seriously instructing Wang Lei on how to warm up, stretching his arms and lower waist, Sadler taught Wang Lei to do jab.

Stand in the traditional position of the left hand in front of you, flex the elbow of the left hand rapidly, and tap your fist forward like a poisonous bee or a cobra.

This is the most basic and commonly used boxing technique in boxing techniques, and it can be said to be a pathfinder or pioneer of other boxing techniques.

The most common way for boxers to play is to constantly test the opponent with the front hand jab, looking for the opportunity to punch hard, and when the opponent shows the flaw, the back hand will bombard like a cannonball, and knock out the opponent with a surprise punch.

Boxing champion Ali, the future British boxing champion Lennox Lewis, and even the returning veteran boxing champion George Foreman are all good at this style of play.

In fact, almost 90 percent of boxers are good at this style of fighting.

That's why it's important to practice jab well.

Practice not only with your left hand in front, but also with your right hand in front.

The average fighter is accustomed to the traditional position of having his left hand in front, and it will be a bit awkward to change to the position of his right hand in front. Left-handed boxers are the opposite.

But coincidentally, Wang Lei doesn't have this problem, he is very balanced left and right, and he can switch freely.

The reason why there is a balance between left and right is because he practiced Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do when he was a teenager in his previous life. Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do stance is a position in which the flexible and powerful right hand is placed in front, and the attack emphasizes the use of straight punches or front feet to attack, while left-handers do the opposite.

And in this life, when he practiced Xingyi Quan with his grandfather, the five-form fist that his grandfather taught him to practice also emphasized that he used his right hand and right leg in front of him to fight Collapse Fist.

Wang Lei, who is used to practice, is not unnatural when he changes his posture, and his left and right postures can be changed freely, and he has become very balanced.

Sadler was pleasantly surprised by this discovery.

A fighter who can balance left and right and change positions freely will have an advantage in the ring and cause more headaches for opponents.

From the point of view of appearance, the jab of boxing is a bit similar to the collapse of Xingyi boxing, the difference is that the target of the jab is the opponent's face, the collapse of the fist attacks the chest and abdomen, the force is short and the assault is short, emphasizing the overall strength and strength through the viscera.

Probably because this body was used to practicing collapse boxing under the supervision of his grandfather a few years ago, Wang Lei would always unconsciously use the power of the collapse fist when he hit the jab, which caused his jab not only to be sudden and cold, that is, fast and fierce, but also very explosive.

Such a jab is no longer a jab in the ordinary sense, but has become a heavy jab that can knock down the opponent.

Sadler naturally saw that Wang Lei's practice was a little different from what he taught, but because Wang Lei's appearance and movements were very standard and there were no mistakes, he just frowned and did not correct it.

After practicing jab boxing for half an hour and resting for about two minutes, Sadler taught Wang Lei footwork again.

The most basic footwork slide.

Forward, backward, left, right slides.

The sliding steps of boxing are very simple, at least for Wang Lei, who has practiced the footwork of Xingyi Boxing, the sliding steps of boxing are really simple.

In terms of the shape of the action, the sliding steps of boxing are no different from Xingyi boxing or the "inch step" of traditional national arts, and the requirements are less and simpler.

Therefore, Wang Lei practiced very easily, and within a few minutes, he met Sadler's requirements of "smooth and natural".

Sadler was surprised again, and couldn't help but ask and learn that Wang Lei had practiced Chinese boxing before, so he resolutely continued to teach.

Sliding steps, left and right flash steps, wrapping steps, and body diving and shaking left and right taught Wang Lei in one breath.

As expected, in less than half an hour, Wang Lei mastered these footwork and body techniques.

Boxing is recognized as the foundation of all martial arts schools, except for judo wrestling and other martial arts that do not allow punches and kicks, no matter what martial arts school, there is a shadow of boxing technology, and Xingyi boxing is no exception.

Basically, almost all the techniques of boxing can find similar movements in Xingyi boxing.

What's more, Wang Lei also learned Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do in his previous life.

Learning boxing with Sadler, the imprint in the depths of his memory was stimulated, and Wang Lei naturally got started very quickly.

But after Sadler taught Wang Lei jab and footwork, he did not continue to teach, but let Wang Lei practice jab and sliding step repeatedly.

This was the case for three days, and when Wang Lei felt impatient, Sadler explained: "Lei, don't think that learning the movements of jab is enough, this is still far from it!" To practice boxing techniques, you must go through three stages to reach the standard. These three stages are power setting, action force and power penetration. ”

"Power stereotype refers to the formation of muscle memory, just like learning to walk, born walking posture is not standard, such as walking in the figure eight steps, if you want to learn the way of walking of normal people, it is not enough to imitate, he must keep walking in accordance with the posture of normal people, until the formation of muscle memory, do not think about not concentrating instinctively out of the normal pace, is qualified. Practicing boxing must also be like this, a movement you must practice repeatedly, mastering the correct movements is nothing, practicing proficient is nothing, you must repeatedly practice thousands of times with the correct movements, hundreds of thousands or even millions of times, forming a deep-rooted muscle memory, and the technical movements are completely stereotyped, which is considered to be the entry. ”

Wang Lei listened in a daze, and couldn't help asking: "What about power fusion and power penetration?" ”

"Kinetic fusion is the fusion of stereotyped movements with reflex nerves to form conditioned reflexes, as if you were ......doing it," Sadler said.

Sadler suddenly slapped Wang Lei in the face.

Wang Lei instinctively raised his hand sideways to block, and his eyes narrowed instinctively.

Sadler's slap stopped halfway through and said, "Your action is a conditioned reflex, but this is a wrong conditioned reflex." When you're attacked, you not only have to dodge, but you also have to punch back. Dodge with minimal movement and counter with the most standard jab. Whether you're hit by a surprise attack or you're too hard to think, you can rely on instinct to fight back, and if the punch is still standard, even if the movement is fused with the reflex nerves. To this extent, you can be considered a qualified boxer. ”

After a pause, Sadler added: "As for the power penetration, that is the realm that only super-first-class fighters can achieve. When boxing, you can mobilize the muscle strength of the whole body, gather the kinetic energy generated by the muscles of the whole body into the fist, and you don't need to accumulate strength, and you can punch the most deadly punch at will, which is the power through. Ray, if you reach this level, even if you are a super-first-class fighter, you are qualified to compete for the boxing championship belt! ”

Wang Lei was stunned, why did Sadler's theory sound so familiar?

Where have you heard of it? Obviously not grandpa, the grandfather in the "memory" never talked about boxing theory when he taught him to practice boxing, but held a bamboo stick to supervise him to practice boxing, as long as he was lazy or his movements were not standard, he would directly pull off a bamboo stick, which hurt his heart.

Grandpa taught boxing only one sentence: "Punch thousands of times, the reason is self-evident!" ”

It means what kind of boxing theory allows you to realize it yourself in repeated practice!

Wang Lei thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of it.

It seems that I read the same theory in a certain national art textbook that I downloaded on the Internet in my previous life.

Not to mention the stereotyped power, isn't the theory of "instinctive counterattack" and "instinctive force" for power fusion and power penetration?

Sounds like the theories are similar!
