Too Many Techniques

If there ever was a disease that effects the study of the sports of boxing and kickboxing, it is the desire to pack too many 'techniques' and drills. That is, when a person opts to learn a million and one focus mitt combinations and variations on how to throw jab/cross combos, etc the ability to specialize at a particular subset of skills within boxing or kickboxing becomes relatively limited.

If you take the opposite approach, the approach of simplicity and specialization, you can take a single technique and work it to perfection, you will end up with solid skill in a particular area as opposed to limited knowledge spread out over a variety of areas.

If you decide to work the jab and work it as an interception or a counter attack, etc and work it against the heavy bag, focus mitts and a partner within the confines of isolated sparring and then invest a few months in this speciailization program, you will arrive at the end result of a jab that works and works well.

It is that simple, but it takes patience and dedication. Are you up to the task?
