Speed beats power. Timing beats speed. 🥊
This week we’re working on one of my favorite examples of that principle: slipping and throwing at the same time.
It’s a tricky move, but when you get the timing right, it’s incredibly effective. Instead of slipping a punch and then countering, you’re making them miss while your counter is already on its way.
This week we’ll be drilling:
🥊 Slip to the left as your opponent throws the right, while throwing your overhand right.
🥊 Slip to the left as they throw the jab, while throwing your left.
We saw a beautiful example of this kind of timing in this weekend’s fight between Denise Gomes and Yan Xiaonan. It’s a great reminder that you don’t always have to be stronger or faster—you have to be in the right place at the right time.
Speed beats power. Timing beats speed.
See you in the gym this week. We’re drilling it!
