You can protect yourseh splenuiu
~ IL you learn the tricks Of defense
which I have outlined for you.
When punching, remember al
ways, that there must be no bend
in the wrist. no matter what punch
you use. Keep in mind that the
muscles OF the arm should be most
rigid and the fists most tightly
clenched at the moment of impact.
And when you throw your punches,
put your body into the movement.
Don't hit merely with the power
Of the arm.
Just as the follow through"
Is the main element Of success
N golf, SO Is the follow
through the big thing in box
ing. For, when you start your
arm forward to strike 4 punch,
let the shoulder and the entire
upper body 90 with the punch,
SO that when it lands, you de-
liver with really telling force.
Do not waste punches.
Many persons learning how to
box, make the common error of
shooting punches whenever there
seems to be the slightest possible
opening. Don't let go with punch
until you are. reasonably certain 1t
win land For the energy you use
up in swinging wild punches is
energy you may need later on In
the contest to insure victory for
you.
Practice Workmanship.
.
It matters not how much
power you can put into your
punch, or what damage you can
DO IL you land. the punch Is
utterly useless as an asset II
you cannot land It. And the
only way you can be sure Of
landing your punches Is to nc.
Quire accuracy. This can be-
accomplished by sending your
punches along slowly at the be-
ginning, which teaches you &C
curacy As you acquire ac-
curacy, you can speed up the
action Of your blows.
But make accuracy Of delivery
and workmanship your foremost
thought in punching.
It has not been my thought that
by following my advice you can
become q master boxer. For, IT
requires years to accomplish this
and even practice alone cannot do
