Resolution Combatives

17/12/2024

Hi all! Trainees are of course well aware of this and have since made other arrangements, however, for those who might be interested in visiting Resolution Combatives, we have sold our place in Alice River and, therefore, the gym at that location is now closed. Don't fret though, if all goes well we will be operating on the other side of Townsville in the not too distant future. So Alligator Creek, look out! Will keep everyone posted on updates as they happen (shed build). Take care all.

Kind regards
Doc

Hi all, trust you didn't incur much damage to your properties! Gym is likely out of action for a couple of days considering that electricity has not yet been restored here and the gym needs a thorough clean up given the doors were facing the wind and debris got in under them. Nothing a power vac, mop and a few hours labor won't ultimately fix though!

Wednesday we will be ready to run

Keep well everyone
Doc

Hi there followers, its been a bit quiet on the boxing gym front since the start of this year. Still hung over perhaps? :)

Anyway, we welcome new and old trainees, novice to experienced.

Just provide a note of intention via the group messenger by 3pm if you wish to attend on a given day (gym does not open to the public if no intentions are received you see and, therefore, Doc can work a bit later at his paying job).

Gym hours for trainees: Mon-Thurs 5.00-6.15pm.

Trainees are NOT charged fees.

Adults only.

All the best for a great year!

Switching-- a 'movement system' that once mastered can take a fighter to the next level. Its the art of dynamic stance changing and switching during attack and defense. It facilitates such actions as lateral attacking. So, if you want to learn to move like the 'matrix' Vasiliy Lomachenko, then this is the movement system you need to learn. Find this opportunity at Resolution Combatives!

Stepping into a boxing gym isn't just about honing physical prowess; it's a journey of personal growth that demands leaving one crucial thing at the door: ego. Within these walls, ego has no place, as the pursuit of boxing mastery thrives in an environment of humility and respect.

Entering the gym with an ego is like entering the ring with a blindfold. It obstructs the ability to learn, adapt, and collaborate effectively. In the gym, everyone starts as a student, regardless of their background or experience. Leaving ego behind allows individuals to absorb knowledge, ask questions, and learn from coaches and peers without the limitations of pride.

Resolution Combatives is on a mission to increase the representation of women in the boxing community in QLD (both competitive & non-competitive). For ladies who share this vision send us a message (we are located in Alice River).

You will train as a competitive boxer would (not boxercise), but there is no expected commitment to compete in bouts unless you wish.

If there is sufficient interest then dedicated classes will become available early evenings. There are no membership fees as this is a non-commercial operation that merely brings those with a common interest together at a single location to engage that interest. All activities are planned and supervised by coach.

Over 18s only please at this point in time.

Regards
Doc

"Ring IQ" (Ring Intelligence Quotient) refers to a boxer's ability to think strategically, adapt to their opponent's style, and make smart decisions inside the ring. It encompasses a combination of mental acuity, tactical awareness, and the ability to read and respond to the flow of a fight. A boxer with a high Ring IQ can use skills and experience to out-think and outmaneuver their opponent, even if they may not possess the same level of raw physical talent. Ring IQ also refers to the ability to plan ahead

Here are some key components that contribute to a boxer's Ring IQ:

Strategic Awareness: A boxer with high Ring IQ understands the importance of having a game plan. They analyze their opponent's strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own, and formulate a strategy to exploit their adversary's vulnerabilities while minimizing their own risks.

Adaptability: Being able to adjust and adapt during a fight is crucial. As the battle unfolds, a boxer with good Ring IQ can recognize patterns, identify openings, and modify their approach to capitalize on opportunities or address any challenges they encounter.

Defense and Counterpunching: A high Ring IQ boxer possesses solid defensive skills. They can slip, block, and parry punches effectively, reducing the impact of their opponent's offense. Furthermore, they use counterpunching as a way to create openings and catch their opponent off guard.

Ring Generalship: This refers to a boxer's ability to control the pace and location of the fight. A boxer with excellent Ring IQ can dictate the distance, use footwork to maintain advantageous positions, and manage the rhythm of the bout.

Patience and Composure: Keeping a cool head under pressure is vital. A boxer with high Ring IQ won't get flustered if they fall behind or get caught with a good shot. Instead, they stay composed, stick to their game plan, and look for opportunities to turn the tide.

Feints and Deception: Boxers with high Ring IQ use feints and other deceptive movements to mislead their opponents. By making their intentions less predictable, they can set up traps and create openings to land punches.

Reading Opponents: A boxer with excellent Ring IQ can quickly assess an opponent's habits and tendencies. They pick up on subtle cues and adjust their approach accordingly, making it more challenging for the opponent to predict their actions.

Conditioning and Endurance: Maintaining physical and mental endurance throughout the fight is essential. A boxer with good Ring IQ understands the importance of conditioning and pacing themselves to remain effective in later rounds.

Ring IQ is not solely dependent on natural talent, it can be developed and improved through experience, training, and learning from both successes and failures in the ring. Boxers who possess a high Ring IQ often have long and successful careers, as their mental acuity complements their physical abilities, allowing them to navigate the challenges of the sport more effectively.

Happy days ahead!

Here are some key points to understand about switch hitting in boxing.

It involves dynamic stance switching: In orthodox stance, the boxer's left hand and foot are forward, while in southpaw stance, the right hand and foot are forward. Switch hitting involves transitioning dynamically but smoothly between these two stances to create different offensive and defensive opportunities.

Footwork and timing are a necessity: Switch hitting requires mastery of footwork and timing. The transition between stances needs to be fluid and executed with precision to maintain balance and defensive coverage. Timing is crucial to ensure the switch is not telegraphed, preventing the opponent from capitalizing on the momentary vulnerability during the transition.

Strategic Advantages: Switch hitting offers several strategic advantages. It can disrupt an opponent's rhythm and timing since they must constantly adjust to the changing angles and attacks. It can also create openings for different punches by attacking from unfamiliar angles.

Love always, Doc
