we have classes with nothing but hand work and i really enjoy it. blocking a kick you see coming feels good but being able to block fast hard punches feels better. i'm glad your enjoying it and found what youve been looking for.

A number of reasons. I really enjoy my karate training, but recently i was looking for some "answers" and i didnt think my karate training was providing me with these. But after doing boxing for a short while it didnt really have the answers either, so i did alot of searching and started looking deeper into my karate and realise it will be better for me in the long term. |

My first ever ring fight gave me way more reference material for my more traditional art than I ever had before. You can simulate how other styles fight as much as you like in your normal class but there's nothing like being punched and kicked by a kick-boxer to show you how they really do things.

It sounds like a good time. I have always had great admiration of the coditioning that both boxers and wrestlers have. I know that I am no where close to being in that kind of shape.
Incidentally, Cross, why not train both?

What kind of hand blocking drills do you do for fast punching?

I find that there is something of value on every style I've tried. Over my life, I have done some judo, wrestling, boxing, Shotokan, kung fu, combat arts, and Shorin Ryu. Most of it was one on one or in small classes. I am about to start a KB class that goes three months. After that, I expect to take a BJJ class that goes three months. It's all good.
