At Blazing Sun IMB, we recognize the
importance of sound fundamentals. In order to
truly excel in any martial art, you must master
the basics first. This is especially true of
boxing, kickboxing, and JKD related concepts.
Everything is based upon those basic
skills. |
|
With our 'Boxing Basics' page, we try to
touch upon some of those basics and answer any
questions you may have. So, Email Us any questions
you have and we will post them as discussion
topics on this
page. | |

| RELAX!!!
If there is one single most important conecpt
to realize, this is it. In any type of fight, in
our out of the ring, if you are not relaxed, you
are at a severe disadvantage. A relaxed person
exerts less energy, makes less mistakes, and is
able to absorb the surrounding elements much
more efficiently. When you are relaxed, you can
read your opponents movements much more
effectively. Someone who is afraid, tense, or
nervous, will make mistakes. There is no easy
soution to the relaxation problem. It only comes
with time and experience. So Practice, practice,
practice! | |

| Your
Stance
You should be relaxed and comfortable at all
times in your stance - semi-crouched, balanced,
and fluid. A person should be able to throw any
attack, or any defense from your basic stance.
If you can't, then you are not balanced and not
prepared. For more specific information see
Bruce Lee's article, The On-Guard
Stance for more detailed
information on the basics of your stance.

| Hands up!
Chin Down! Elbows in!!
The basic premise here is - STAY
COVERED. If you drop your hands, you are
opening yourself up to get hit in the face; tilt
that head back and you are making that chin an
irresistable target start flapping your
arms during those kicks and you are exposing
your mid section. Anyone can get a lucky punch
in. If you stay covered, you lessen the
likelihood of that strike causing significant
damage.
