Tool to Improve Punching Accuracy and Timing

I am always on the lookout for new training methods to improve my boxing skills.  One of my recent discoveries comes courtesy of pro boxer Vasyl "Hi-Tech" Lomechenko.  I saw a video of him punching a tennis ball attached by an elastic cord to a cap on his head.  This tool is great for improving your hand-eye coordination.  While there are other ways to improve your hand-eye coordination, such as playing table tennis, I prefer training methods that mimic fighting. Of course, punching a ball is more similar to actual fighting than hitting a ball with a paddle.  If you want to increase the precision of your strikes, make one of these devices and give it a go.

Grandmaster Ulysses "Pop" Winn Jr

My first martial arts instructor Grandmaster Ulysses "Pop" Winn passed away on May 9, 2024. He was a 10th degree black belt in Nisei Goju Ryu. Thank you Sensei for being a mentor and positive role model to me when I was growing up. Until we meet again in heaven.

Fit to Fight

I am a big believer in physical fitness. This is especially important for those engaged in Combat Sports, such as Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA. It does not matter how skillful you are if you cannot go the distance. That is why I became a Certified MMA Conditioning Coach. I wanted to have the knowledge to train athletes to be in top physical condition to compete successfully. To show just how serious I am about fitness, I recently entered a fitness competition. I am competing to be crowned Mr. Health & Fitness for 2023. You can view my profile and cast your vote here: https://featured.muscleandfitness.com/2023/roderick-p

"LOLA 2"

This is a case of art imitating life. I am a Boxing Coach in real-life. I had the opportunity to serve as an Executive Producer and Action Director of the new female boxing movie "LOLA 2." The movie stars actress "Taja V. Simpson" as Lola and real-life boxing champ "Claressa Shields" as her nemesis. You can check out the movie on the ALLBLK streaming platform. The first "LOLA" is available there too. You can watch the new movie at https://allblk.tv/lolatwo .
