https://www.myboxingcoach.com - William Shakespeare is not someone who you would associate with building great boxing combinations…but bear with me on this. Shakespeare was a prolific playwright who produced some of the greatest literary works ever. It occurred to me that as well as possessing an awesomely creative mind, Shakespeare also ensured that simplicity of structure and rhythmic delivery underpinned all of his greatest works. This is where I believe you can use Shakespeare to help you build smart end effective boxing combinations. The key take away points from this session are: 1. Don’t think of an 8 punch boxing combination. Do like The Bard and rather than use long words (long combinations) use 2 and 3 syllable words (2 and 3 punches) linked together with foot and body movements. 2. Where Shakespeare used stressed and unstressed syllables to provide a cadence and rhythm to his works, you use variations in speed and power to make your boxing combinations dynamic and purposeful. So there we are, some high-brow learning :-) Your comments and questions are always greatly appreciated. Cheers Fran
