Improving boxing fundamentals.

[UserC]

So you know about kickboxing from a boxing gym? interesting. Maybe I should go learn about karate from a wrestling club

No. I did Kickboxing and now boxing.

Well, again, if your kickboxing did not incorporate those two things you claimed were lacking, that is, a bladed stance and sinking into punches, that sucks for you I guess. But that certainly isn't universally true, and certainly isn't true of Dutch style MT. You should do your homework more thoroughly before you presume to speak in universals, as it doesn't reflect too well on you.

If you want to piss of a MT fighter, tell him he's a Kickboxer.

Well tbh I've never noticed they cared much one way or another and I know plenty of both. Most just think of themselves as 'fighters'.

Sure ill say it next time im at my muay thai gym where i have trained for years and a number of pro fighters refer to themselves as kickboxers

 

[Martial D]

There's 2 ex MT pros at my MMA club, both refer to themselves as kickboxers. I should probably inform them they should be more sensitive and careful with their words, I guess.

What are good ways to improve fundamentals in boxing? I got the power and I'm fluid in sparring, but I need to work on my technique.

Should I increase shadow boxing training at home, or try and buy something to punch to learn proper distancing? My apartment is too small for a heavy bag.

Also, do gloves matter? My 160Z Everlast gloves are way too big for my hands, and feel like oven mitts on the heavy bag.

I think you just need to give it a little more time, bro, four months isn't that long. Especially the distancing. And I think distance is what will take the longest to get used to. But you'll be fine, just go with the flow of the boxing gym.

This is my best shot - the jab, which I'm able to dominate most recreational students with in sparring. The problem lies elsewhere.
