Mike convinces me to stick with the fundamentals.
A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, which is why Mike's counter (he's on the right) worked.
Normally, the lead-off fighter has a big advantage, because it's quicker to act than to react. However, a straight technique can intercept a hooking, or curved one, and gives the counter-fighter the advantage.
Nice job, Mike.
That's a cross.
ReplyDeleteI think you mean the counter. You're correct, the counter-fighter (on the right) is throwing a cross, but the reason it succeeded is that the lead-off fighter (on the left) was leading with a hook punch, inviting a straight to connect first. Thanks for the comments.
