Anyone else doesnt mind doing monotonous drills over and over??

[sourdiesel209]

I dunno why but I dont really mind practicing 1 specific thing like the 1-2, for example... For hours on end until it is perfect... This is how I learned to slip to the left and surprised my coach once but he claimed I got lucky lol

Anyways I kinda get stuck on certain punch till it feels right... Already feel a great left hook, uppercuts, jab and currently on the straight right...

I also tend to shadowbox all day, everywhere (but not on public of course lmao)... Any else relate or am I the only crazy motherfucker

I tend to do this with a new drill or piece of equipment. I will spend all day trying to nail it. For example when I learnt to skip/jump rope. For the first couple of days I was doing ALL day because I was so keen to get a good rhythm going.

As for shadowboxing I think a few people do this lol, whether I'm making a cup of tea or am on the way to another room in the house I often start randomly shadowboxing

It's boring as hell but once you fully understand the benefits of why you are doing it, boring doesn't even come into it.

 

[Nuclearlandmine]

Can't do it. Rather split up my training to different drills i could do in short burst to keep it varied and interesting. Probably side effects of having a short attention span.

Yeah, at first, but when you spend months doing the same thing like stances or a jab, meh, you get used to it.

yeah it becomes part of your routine... I just cant let it go when a movement doesnt feel right lol

 

[PeterPain]

Could never do that.
Can kick a bag for days tho.
My longest train was around 4 houres.
There was a pool a sweat under me.

Need to work more on the arms

 

[MadSquabbles500]

I prefer to just spar and roll, and when I find a deficiency, I will go off somewhere and work on it by myself for just a little bit. I cannot do solo drills for too long. My mind starts to wander LOL.

I realize this is how it is for me in every sport. I play hockey, and I absolutely hate going through the motions while practicing by myself. I much rather play the game, than do just a little conditioning, or do a partner drill during stick and puck times.

Yeah in the perfect world I'd rather sparr than do monotonous drills lol But sometimes when you get a lil bit too much free time, I find myself doing this shit for like 30 minutes straight.. I got a heavy bag at home so I practice the technique there too

I remember my first time I went to the gym and the teacher said "grab a rope" I was like no problem. looked around and peoples ropes were on fire, I got about 3 rounds before catching. Took me about 2 or 3 weeks before I got good, I love rope now. Best way to loosen up and elevate your heart rate before a good work out.

As to the original question I dont mind I like drilling things till I own them.:icon_evil

 

[bowlie]

I dont mind either. I do taekwondo too and the guys there always want to try new fancy spinning kicks. I prefer to do one thing till its perfect.

 

[DoctorTaco]

I'm going to work on my footwork, punches, kicks, and combinations until the day I hang up my gloves.

There is no 'good enough' and there sure as hell isn't 'perfect' for me

My childhood was the perfect world. I used to just go grab a couple of kids who lived nearby, go to some backyard or open area just have a royal rumble (mostly wrestling mixed with some light smacking, and kicking eat other in the rear end).

With grappling I can drill something as minute as simply locking up a triangle after already in a "diamond guard" of sorts on a partner for days and never get tired of it. Striking, I get bored throwing 1-2 combos after about 3 combos and I wanna start adding in hooks and uppercuts and blah blah blah...all the stuff I don't need to worry about at that time.

 

[InZain]

I LOVE to drill my techniques. Like they say "Drillers are killers". I feel it allows me to build faster muscle memory!

 

[Pearse Shields]

I don't mind doing drills at all, because they help me be a better fighter. I enjoy spending a round working just one combination or technique, trying to really get the feel for it.
