Day 36
4 loops Hybrid Trickling Stream overnight
Sticking to the no coffee today, replaced with white tea and don't feel any worse for it.
It's so strange how the sub has pushed me toward boxing. I started the sub to improve my writing, but I think my subconscious knows what my true passion is.
I've been watching boxing videos on youtube non-stop, been reading an old boxing instruction manual from 1940 and have Jack Dempsey's Championship boxing lined up next. Basically I've immersed myself in it. Writing isn't even part of my day any more.
I'm really enjoying watching Joe Louis. I've been watching him on repeat, as well as videos on Youtube that breakdown his technique, and I'm better able to understand the techniques he was using in order to generate such power. I've realised my foot positioning when I throw the right hand has been incorrect, and I need to turn my knee inward when I punch to generate more power.
I'm better understanding concepts such as the center line and weight transference. I want to get to the point where when I watch a boxing match, I can understand every single nuance of what is happening in the ring, why each fighter is choosing the movements they choose, the punches they choose, how and where they're laying traps for the other fighter... basically the learning never ends. It's chess.
It's important to focus on one thing at a time, and give that one thing 100% focus until it is mastered, and then move onto the next thing. Trying to learn too much at once means you don't learn anything to a deep level. So right now I'm strictly focusing on footwork, positioning, and the straight right hand. All the advanced techniques can come once I've fully mastered the basics.
I can't get the vision of having my own gym and teaching everything I'm learning to my own fighters out of my head. It just feels RIGHT, and even more so, it feels POSSIBLE.
Currently I'm spending my days trying to eat right, cut down in weight, get back into fighting shape and immerse myself in boxing in order to learn.
I'm looking at all these boxing techniques, not just with the viewpoint of learning the technique, but also asking myself: how could I teach this technique to somebody else?
It feels like I'm taking right action, steps down a path with clearly definable and reachable goals at each stage. I just need to take it stage by stage, keep focused, stay determined, and I'll get there.
