I Have Alot of strength, but bad fighting and slow, tips?

Answer 1

Firearms.

Answer 2

Jumping rope helps alot with agility, do 5 min sessions to begin with and then just move up to 10, 15 etc. Heavy bag punching makes you practice your punches. But what I recommend to be a good street fighter not a fancy martial artist, is get in some fights. See how you react dont just use punching and kicking, knees and objects around you also help. At first you are going to see how you dont react that well but after a few fights it should come natural. Make it an instinct.

Answer 3

strength + martial arts = slow fighter.. not always true..

my husband has 19 inch biceps and tree trunk legs and can out punch or kick any feather weight he comes across..

it's all in your training man...

if you train for power and leave out the speed you're going to get a slow fighter who hits hard when he manages to catch you..

i get the slow part, but what do you mean about bad fighting?

for the slow part, repetition is the key.. if you throw a jab 10,000 times your muscles are going to retain the memory of that action.. then when they are acting out that particular action it's going to register quicker and the punch will be faster.. to help with speed we usually take our guys over to the local pool, the work combinations in the water, including kicks and the resistance of the water helps with the recoil of the muscle/tendons/etc. in performing those movements.

try working on a speed bag, this will help give you reaction timing and rhythm. you don't have to be lightning fast, but fighting tends to be all about rhythm, knowing your own rhythm and finding your opponents..

technique is another key element to eliminating a slow sluggish dimenor in the ring.. if you're running after some guy throwing these looping slow haymakers that even mr. maggoo could spot a mile away you're going to look slow and bad..

you need to learn how to get inside, let your opponent come to you, throw tight, skillfull combinations, 5 strikes or more. learn how not to telegraph and try to avoid head hunting.. all simple yet complicated things to think about while in the gym..

hope this helps a little!?!

~*good luck*~

Answer 4

I am a big guy too and had a problem like this. so i started training with faster more advanced ranked people and they told me to work on my balance. because i had an advantage over them. i am taller so my legs are my best tool. i can kick and keep them at a safer distance long enough to set for a good technique. My grand master also said right at the beginning of a match kick the wind out of them and take the warning and its guaranteed they will keep a safe distance away from you because of this which gives you more reaction time. Hope this helps. Good Luck and keep your hands up.

Answer 5

Spar more. Make sure techniques start from the hip not from the attacking appendage. Master the basics of your form. Once you have mastered the form the fighting will come.

Remember strength will one day fail you, technique will never fail you.

Answer 6

Ground and pound. Watch some of the "Hammer House" fighters (Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman and Phil Baroni) on Pride. They lose a lot of fights on TV but I bet they haven't lost a lot of barroom brawls.

Answer 7

Just practice on kicks and punches,or whatever you wanted. It's all in the muscle memory,it doesn't matter if you're unbelievealbly strong if you can't kick properly. Takes a while and you should have someone watch you,in case they need to correct your stance or tell you how it looks.

Answer 8

You may want to slim down a little, or instead of lifting heavy, you want to lift for endurance. Also a good way to bring punching speed up is to do one arm cable extensions with light weight for 5 minutes at a time each arm, hit the heavy/speed bags, and spar with someone that you know is faster than you.

Answer 9

the biggest thing is coordination drills to get your body in a good "fighting rythm", and cutting back on bulk muscle in favor of leaner muscles will help you as En Sabah Nur said, also by using speed bags and heavy bags to coordinate speed with power together will help you.

swimming and water resistance training, (punching and kicking while under water) and resistance training (using wrist, forearm, ankle and thigh or leg weights strapped to you) will help build up your speed once you've trained with them for a couple of weeks and beyond will increase it.

Answer 10

Practice for speed. Do as many kicks, punches or whatever as you can in a short period of toime (say 10 sec). Find a partner & do speed drills.
