Boxing:im afriad to get hit...? |
ok im starting to get into boxing, but i feel my problem is that im scared to get hit..when i see a hit coming i get scared or i tense up, but the bigger problem is i squint or sometimes close my eyes... is there any drills or anything i can do at home to work on this.? Just have somebody throw punches right in front of your face so you can learn to dodge them and not flinch or squint. But make sure they dont hit ur face when ur practing lol. But this should work it doesn't hurt for long, force yourself to keep your eyes open as long as you can and have someone clap or throw punches at your face but not actually hit you. shutting your eyes when something is coming at you is a normal reaction from your body to shield the eyes. also keep your gloves up and near your eyes at first it kind of distracts from the 'surprise'. relax, even if you get hit its not that bad. Boxing might not be the sport for you. . I hate to agree with Kris on this one, but he's probably right. I guess you could let someone tee off on you until you get used to it. I'd get jumpy like that against guys who could bang hard. What you need to realize is that the jumpier you are, the more shots you are going to take, so it becomes a vicious cycle. I'd take a deep breath, raise my shoulders as high as i could, then drop them back as low as i could and say "relax or get hit again". Don't let these guys tell you what you want to do. Buy some headgear with face protection, not the kind that has a full cage in front-the type that has a little padding over the cheek, and have some friends punch you in the face. Not kidding. After a while your head will get used to it, and you'll see that its not so terrible. And everybody squints when they first start out. Don't overdo it. Good luck. Just listen to some music or w/e so you can get pumped up and think of something that really pisses you off and then train and you wont even think about getting hit. Just have him/her hit you just don't even think about it just train with your trainer http://mikethedj4.piczo.com/ |
