Im p**s...?

Question

okok im getting p**s...i often have sparring sessions so whenever a punch is comming right at me i will kinda shut my eye and look away like an idoit i have try many time and told myself not to do that but automatically my stupid eye and head does that again and again so is there any way to mantain eye contact?

Answer 1

WISH YOU LUCK .

Answer 2

Really focus...In your head keep saying don't look away, don't look away

It helps..I had the same problem once

And I used to just think that and finally I overcame it

Answer 3

your not ready to spar yet. stop for now and start again later. are you in a boxing gym with a trainer? if your not then you need to be if you want to box. maybe boxing isn't for you. it's not for everyone. perhaps tennis or soccer would be better suited for you

Answer 4

M8 how true you are. This happens to me aswell and ive somehow countered it. Everytime i know a punch is gona hit, i just let a strong overhead right hand fly. Before my eyes close i would do this. It isnt proper form or technique, but its currently working for me. My trainer always tells me to dodge and move out of the way when some1 is hammering away at me. But instinctly i just keep punching back harder. Sometimes you knock the person out, sometimes you dont. But to answer your question, always keep moving and punching. When you see him move, you move too. I cant be of much help, but maybe use my tactic. When the punch is gona hit, strong overhead right hand. If you choose to take the risk, it may buy you some time. But it may also cause you a knockdown.

Answer 5

Just keep working at it and you will get there eventually.

Good Luck
