Question

As a larger man, would I be better off blocking or dodging?

SilvDrag

Community Answer

Some people, although large, are light on their feet. If you can move your feet faster than your opponent can hit, then you would be better off dodging. If you can't move faster, then block with your arms instead.

It's the same thing, except you now practice with a stick. Just work on your reflexes, but keep the stick around.

Question

How can I figure out what my opponent is going to do before he does it?

Community Answer

You can't, but you can try to pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses in his fighting style. For example, if he's a good puncher, keep your arms up to block, stay agile, and aim for his lower half.

Question

How can I practice if I don't have a partner?

Community Answer

Shadow boxing. This is when you spar with an imaginary opponent as a form of training. You could also work on abs by doing plank or leg raises to tighten and toughen your stomach up.

Question

What should I do if my opponent has faster reflexes?

Community Answer

Keep dodging your opponent's attacks and let him wear himself down while conserving your energy. His reflexes will slow as he tires; look for an opening and take advantage of it.
