Day 146: On Boxing (and spaced learning)

I’ve been training muay thai and boxing (mostly) for the last year and a half. Here are some things I’ve learned:
The jab is your most used punch. Make it your best. Extend the arm straight out, twist the knuckle and use your shoulder to protect your face.
Pivot on the right foot for the strike. This is where your power will come from.
For the lead hook, your shoulder needs to protect your face and make sure your other hand stays up.
Body shots are underrated. Keep firing them, especially that liver hook.
For your kicks, it’s all in the hips and rotation.
Flexibility (especially hip flexibility) is every bit as important as strength. And so is stamina.
