Dont get hit...\nSpeed and technique..\nBasics Basics.. Basics...\nI won 3rd in sparring at the Texas State Finals this year in AOK or TKO...\nno matter... no biggie..\nAim your hits.... Never go directly to your target... \nfake him high.. kickem in the stomach...\nBack fist sidekick...\nBackfist round house...\nworks everytime ...\nPractice walking circles around a heavy back and keeping a good series going...\npreferably with the legs to build footwork..\nTrain to fight in a circle...\nnot back and forth.. \nIts better for a ring..\nPeople fly by and on out of the ring with those flying spinning back kicks....\nPractice...\nRecord yourself...\nWatch yourself on video...\nGo enter tournaments...\nFight as a beginner... so when you get to black belt you are accustomed to defeat and its not an ego killer... or too detrimental..\n3-4 hit combos...\nafter 3-4 shot.. get out quick...\nits like the german snipers in WW2 watching the GI's in the trench..\nthey passed the zippo to light cigs at night....\nsniper would see the first two.. and kill the 3rd one...\nby that time your enemy has evaded you and you must control your ego and pull back to try another tactic instead of going toe to toe in a MINI full contact as many continuous point sparring matches go.... Control your enemy...\nFake him.. make him go and commit to something that is stupid for him to do...\nget him defending one spot... then hit the spot you were really aiming at.... ART of WAR...\n\nIm tired of rambling\nPeace~~\n\nred_samurai_dragon

focus on the toss. keep it as low as possible to leave you little room for error. don't pull your swinging arm back too far also... again, leaves less room for error. hit the ball with the heel of your hand. think 'quick and accurate' while your serving. it'll help.

Use your jab and keep your distance, you will have the advantage in terms of speed since you have been sparring with smaller lighter opponents. It is very important and I cannot stress it enough to use the jab to set up your power punches. Also, it's a wise decision to go to the body early and often! This will break the other fighter down and sap his power from him. If you need and advice please feel free to contact me I have over 20 years exp at various levels in the sport.

You've got to keep your gloves up in the ring and defend yourself better.  Weave and bob around, it'll minimize the impact of the punches.  You have to watch out around the southpaws.

OK, here's an old pro tip for ya . At the top end of you stick place a hockey lace and then wrap the hockey lace around the stick to desired Length.  Once you have done that get some hockey tape and then wrap the tape over the lace. Squeeze the tape tight over the lace. You can also have the sticky part on the outside as well.  The lace will protrude through the tape and give you a nice grip. Ive been doing it for years.  Once  it wears you can do it again. However barring that you don't break your stick with your blistering slap shot you just continue to wrap tape as needed.\nIt will work beautifully ,trust me. Impossible for someone to knock your stick loose.\nGood luck.

It depends on what I am doing.  Point Sparring would be Round because it is my fastest. Breaking boards would be Side because it is my strongest.  Self defense it would Side to the knee.  Contact sparring would be a toss up betwen Round and Side depending on where I want to hit.

I practice doing stickhandleing, wristing shots, slapping and snapping shots, and deking. I practice stickhandleing without looking at the puck to develop how to make more acurate passing and have more puck control. Get a mirror and put it in the end of a hall way stand back and look at the mirror and stickhandle away looking at the mirror. After you master this take the mirror away. Practice your stickhandleing around people in tight areas by putting 2 pucks in the drive way a little bit apart and stick handle in a figure 8 between them. Then put them closer together... For wrist shots practice your aiming without looking at the puck and also stickhandleing up to the goal and deking and then wristing a shot...repeat with snap shots and slap shots... Work out also. I lift weights and do situps. Go to hockey camps that do off ice training. Have fun doing this stuff!

Try doing long tackles...Take a running dive at a tackle dummy. Concentrate on hitting the dummy at the waist line. Do high jumps...take a run at a basketball goal try to hit the backboard in the same spot every time. With a fellow player do shuck and jive...have you friend do sudden cuts and turns while you try to stay within 3 ft. Have someone throw a ball over your head or off to one side while you attempt to either swat the ball away or catch it. I used these to make the varsity squad as a 140 pound 5 ft 4 inch freshman who only did the 100 in 12 sec.

many 1 make sure you direct your defense,set the wall with a freekick on the right spot,with cornerkicks make sure somebody is by the first and second post.always make a line in the middle of the goal with your shoe,so you always no where the middle of the goal is.and be a leader that will intimedate the other team last but not least you are in control of the offside you are the one that send your defense forward and in the same time you come out your goal timing is verry important.

practice makes perfect...you need to find an experienced person who will help you excel.  It is in your best interest to always spar with someone who is better then you who will "press" you but not hurt you. Some people have egos and end up hurting you. In terms of punches the heavy bag is one of the best methods.  As long as you have some one monitoring your technique you can only get better. Mitts are also a great technique to practice and perfect your "moves".(hopefully I hope I answered this correctly)

Assuming you're a beginer, practice all your simple "J'' turns using both your toeside edges and heelside edges. once you have your edges down start pointing your board down the hill, each time going further and further. but remember you must have your turns and stopping down before you start shooting down the hill. \n\nIf you post another question telling exactly what you need work on, i could answer better.

dont do the rolling pin, it builds up stuff on your bone that can injure you later on. just keep kicking the heavy bag. that way you also get to practice your roundhouse.

If you are serious about the sport, you should join a boxing gym. There are several there. If not, then might even see if they will let you post a flyer that says you are looking for someone to spar with.

Pick&Roll\nOkay have you stand on the right side of the court. Designate a point guard and a post player based on heigth, speed, rebounding, and handles abilities. Use the pick-and-roll. Have the post player roll to the right. And at the same time the point guard dribble in. The point guard now has three options based on who's open: dump it off to your post player, pass out to you, or take it himself, all depending on the open man. It's almost guaranteed someone will be open.\n\nGive&Go\nOkay, have your post player come to about the free throw line, have your point guard pass it to him. Immediately after the point guard passes the ball, have him sprint toward the hoop and have the post player pass it in for the easy lay-up. This play may only work once or twice in a game because it's key element is suprise.\n\nIssolation\nThe most simple play there is. Have your best player or a mismatched play take his defender one on one. If they double: pass, if not: shoot or drive.
