EDGE AeroKickboxing Tips
When making a fist keep the thumb outside your fingers.
Keep your chin down with arms and hands in pyramid position.
Visualize your opponent in the mirror. Your mirror image becomes your
"opponent", aim for "your opponent's" chin when punching.
Visualize making contact with the knuckles of the index and middle fingers.
There should be 95% extension of your arms with the straight punches.
(Especially when using hand weights)
As fast as the punches go out they must be retracted.
The first jab of a double or triple does not retract all the way, retract one first as
the other comes forward when throwing combos and remember to use your abs.
Do not telegraph your punches; never allow elbows to go behind your body ...
particularly with uppercuts.
Remain � face with your opponent. Never "square up".
Always keep your lead foot pointing toward your opponent and rear foot visible
in mirror.
Never bring the feet together when punching. "Don't tight wire".
When moving front/ back as in "stick & move", move your whole body back and
forth, not just the hips.
Use the legs and glutes when slipping punches, not the lower back.
Students should monitor themselves and stop when they feel fatigued, just like
fighters do when they tone down their intensity during a fight.
Watch some fights on television to see what strikes and movements you recognize.
Drink water during class...and by all means bring a towel...your going to need it!
Practice! Practice! Practice!
