[amy]

To the top of the head!?

Who in the world told you to take a punch to the top of the head?!

[RDJ]

Perhaps his trainer doesn't like him very much :lol:

[amy]

:rofl Not out of the question, that's for sure.

:rofl Not out of the question, that's for sure.
I bet he blocks liver shots with his kidney :yep

"It's the famous kidney roll, Mayweather uses it too"

[IOANNIS]

Stop teasing him, he made it clear if he can't avoid a punch what could he do.
Anyway if you see it coming and protect your chin and body (kidney roll is not included as a defencive method) you 'll be OK.

[Little_Mac]

shut up whitey

hey now...

I hope every guy I fight takes punches on the top of the head...haha:lol:

[gosumog]

lmfao @ kidney roll

[younghypnotiq]

well if you would think about it before jumping on me. you would realize hyour knuckles are weaker then the top your head so you would break there hand.

[amy]

well if you would think about it before jumping on me. you would realize hyour knuckles are weaker then the top your head so you would break there hand.

You're right. I'm stupid. Keep your head down and take every punch to the top of the head if possible.

[RockOn33]

well if you would think about it before jumping on me. you would realize hyour knuckles are weaker then the top your head so you would break there hand.

thats why we wear gloves, to NOT break our hands... not everyones as tough as u and fights barehanded

[younghypnotiq]

You're right. I'm stupid. Keep your head down and take every punch to the top of the head if possible.

so your telling me that you would rather take a punch to the nose then the top of the head?

[amy]

so your telling me that you would rather take a punch to the nose then the top of the head?

um, yes.

[Little_Mac]

um, yes.

You know amy, my boss once said that it was a good idea to take punches on the top of the head "because your cranium is the hardest part of your body, and you'll break their hand".

Hes also claimed he was a Navy SEAL sniper (shot 3 times), jumped motorcycles, fought Steven Segal in a bar fight and won, shot a rhinoceros, and survived a 4 story fall without a scratch... among other things.

So there.:blurp

Oh yeah, he heals extremely well, so you can't see the bullet scars.

dont diss me about fighting you dont even now how to make a workout routine.

[thunder06]

tuck your chin down with your hands protecting your face.

[younghypnotiq]

um, yes.

i wish all the people i faught were that dumb i would have much less hurt hands

[Slicknick56]

the top of the head thing is an old school street fighting technique. the hardest part of ur head is the top part where u would head butt someone with or whatevr. its an old street fighting defense to put ur head down to thurt the guy. i would never use it in boxing but in a street fight its been used.

[Little_Mac]

I'm not dissing you- don't take it personally. I've been reading this post to find out the same things you are because i don't know either.

It's just something tells me that if you have the time to react to a punch by taking it on the top of the head you should have the time to just.... move out of the way and not get hit at all. Maybe I'm wrong tho.

My boss really does say shit like that tho... like everyday... it's really annoying.:lol:

[younghypnotiq]

yah i did an overhand in a stretfigth and it landed on the dudes head and i couldnt hit with that hand the rest of the fight

[younghypnotiq]

alright sorry for getting offeded everyone disses me here. did u read my post in ur lifting thread? i gave u a good routine? alright and yah but sometimes you cant block so i was told to either take it on the top of the head or rolll wtih it

[Slicknick56]

yah i did an overhand in a stretfigth and it landed on the dudes head and i couldnt hit with that hand the rest of the fight

it hurts like a motha fucker to land on the top of the head with or without a glove. there or on the hip bone.

[Slicknick56]

oh and to answer ur question the best way to take a punch if u have no other option is to try and roll with it. Alot of old school fighters were masters at this but i think Roberto Duran was one of the best. Today, Barrera is also great at it.

[younghypnotiq]

never hit the hip bone ful force so im good but elbow to. i like toblock shovel hooks with elbows especially in a street fight i broke some kids hand like that

[Slicknick56]

never hit the hip bone ful force so im good but elbow to. i like toblock shovel hooks with elbows especially in a street fight i broke some kids hand like that

i remember this south african guy who was RIPPED told me he used to fight with the wierdest stance in a street fight. i didnt believe him but he said he used to put his hands all the way up and behind his head so that only his elbows were sticking out in front of his face. Any shot to his face would be blocked by his elbows and before they could hit his body he would attack them. interesting technique but never seen it used.

[younghypnotiq]

ive seen thai fighters do that becuase they block bodyshots with there knees.

[Little_Mac]

alright sorry for getting offeded everyone disses me here. did u read my post in ur lifting thread? i gave u a good routine? alright and yah but sometimes you cant block so i was told to either take it on the top of the head or rolll wtih it

Yeah I read your post - it looks good thanks. I actually got a book from the library today about lifting (so I do it right:cool: ) and it's pretty interesting stuff. My dad has some old weights so I guess I'll get started tomorrow.

For some reason I still think it's best to just roll with punches in boxing (not fighting). Street fighting... Well then I could see the "Cranial Block Maneuver" working like a charm. :good

[younghypnotiq]

alright :good

[amy]

i wish all the people i faught were that dumb i would have much less hurt hands

You calling me dumb?

[younghypnotiq]

dumb when it comes to fighting

[amy]

it hurts like a motha fucker to land on the top of the head with or without a glove. there or on the hip bone.

It hurts just as bad as getting hit on the back of the head. Why in the world anyone would try to take a punch to the top of the head is beyond me.

I know I keep saying this, but this forum has really gone down hill.

[amy]

dumb when it comes to fighting

:roll: Yeah, ok. And how many boxing matches have you had? Oh yeah, that's right, none.

[younghypnotiq]

hes agreing with me. hes saying it hurts hthe hand when hitting someone on the top of the head

[younghypnotiq]

how many real fights have u gotten in? no rules

[amy]

how many real fights have u gotten in? no rules

Like actual fist fights? You do realize this is a boxing forum, right? And, yes, I've been in fist fights before. (and no, not with other girls) It's not something I go around bragging about either, it's stupid.

i know it hurts to get hit in the back of the head :lol: i box too. I was agreeing with him in the sense that it also hurts to HIT someone on the top of the head with no gloves. it hurts alot.

and the muy tai thing makes sense now that u mention it hypnotiq with blocking body shots with the knees. good move now that i think about it, if ur trained.

[younghypnotiq]

yah i trained a little muy thai for 2 years. i want to learna little more. cuz i could reall fuck someone jup with that shit

[Slicknick56]

yah i trained a little muy thai for 2 years. i want to learna little more. cuz i could reall fuck someone jup with that shit

yea ive been boxing for a while now but ive always thought of taking up muay tai. it looks sick.

[younghypnotiq]

yah. dd u watch the human weapon muy thai episode? one of my freinds brothers tried to beat me upa nd i clinched him and agve him knees my freind said he pissed blood for a week lol

[Ethan Trims]

hes agreing with me. hes saying it hurts hthe hand when hitting someone on the top of the head

Put it this way, taking a punch to the top of the head is better then taking it straight on the face.

But you dont block punches to the top of your head , you roll head with them like James toney thus negating the power.

[amy]

You guys do realize that having your head down in the amateurs is a foul right? Do it three times and you get a point taken. Or worse, you could get DQ'd.

[younghypnotiq]

lol. u could have justt said that in the beggining. i might use it in MMA tho. and how do yoou roll with a punch at your nose? lean back?

[RockOn33]

how many real fights have u gotten in? no rules

thats what u call real fights? :-(


yah i trained a little muy thai for 2 years. i want to learna little more. cuz i could reall fuck someone jup with that shit


what havent u done?

[amy]

lol. u could have justt said that in the beggining. i might use it in MMA tho. and how do yoou roll with a punch at your nose? lean back?

If you want to get knocked over, yeah, lean back.

[younghypnotiq]

well i have only done 4 things, boxing, kickboxing(k-1 style), wrestling(folk, g-r, freestyle, muy thai, and i am starting up savate in a few weeks

[younghypnotiq]

If you want to get knocked over, yeah, lean back.

then how can u take it? just tuck my chin more?

[RockOn33]

then how can u take it? just tuck my chin more?

if a punch is coming at u, take a knee, that technique works for me :good

[amy]

then how can u take it? just tuck my chin more?
slip to the outside.

[younghypnotiq]

but if its to late to block it i guess i should just tuck my chin so my head doesnt snap. thanks

[Slicknick56]

You guys do realize that having your head down in the amateurs is a foul right? Do it three times and you get a point taken. Or worse, you could get DQ'd.

dear christ i understand that, i told u i box also. im just saying that its a technique used in street fighting. i never said its good to use in a match, but i know where hes getting it from and thats from street fighting. either that or some steven segal movies.

[Duke Powerhand]

Dude younghypnotic lol you train kickboxing, K-! style, Muay Thai AND now your taking up Savate LOL!

You do realize K-1 is all different styles(Muay Thai,Savate, Dutch MT) put into one format, it's not a fighting style.

I mean how did you find the time to train kickboxing and MuayThai enough to becomde profcient? And who with?

Let's not even go into the fact that you've also wrestled folkstyle and greco.

[Duke Powerhand]

BTW I have heard of using the top of your head but not in a boxing match, just street fighting.

Of course if you can't duck,bob slip or something the punch I suppose taking it on the top of the head is better than the face in any arena you fight in.

[KTFO]

if your definetly going to get hit. if its a punch to the side of the head you roll with it and if its straight ahed you tuck your head and take it on the top of the head right? any other ways?



No. Take it straight in your face. Or you'd look like a potshot-pussy.

[CMBoxer]

Where do you train younghypnotic?

[Kolya]

but if its to late to block it i guess i should just tuck my chin so my head doesnt snap. thanks

Yes, you tuck your chin and you brace yourself and try to move with it. It becomes natural after you've sparred and been hit enough in the ring.

[amy]

You really like the PAL, huh.

[younghypnotiq]

huh? its not bad y?

[amy]

The PAL works out at a weightlifting gym and spars in the parking lot? I find that hard to believe.

[Kolya]

huh? its not bad y?

I was joking about you making a triple post.

[younghypnotiq]

The PAL works out at a weightlifting gym and spars in the parking lot? I find that hard to believe.

no i belog to both, BUT the pal is about 30 min drive from my house so i can only go there sometimes till i get my permit in a few days

[CMBoxer]

Wait a minute you train at a parking lot?

[RDJ]

PAL

Is that short for PArkingLot?

[younghypnotiq]

no

[CMBoxer]

no

Then where do you train?

[younghypnotiq]

the PAL

[CMBoxer]

What is a PAL?

[amy]

What is a PAL?

Police Athletic League. They have them all over the country. That's why I find it hard to believe that they work out at a weight training gym and spar in the parking lot. The PAL clubs tend to have a lot of sponsorship behind them.

[CMBoxer]

The Police Athletic League (PAL) is an organization in many American police departments in which members of the police force coach young people, both boys and girls, in sports, and help with homework and other school-related activities (wikipedia.org).

This is whaat I got from wikipedia.org. How do you train in boxing here?

[RDJ]

So younghypnotic are you a cop?

A cop out perhaps.

[younghypnotiq]

amy they dont train there they train in a rear boxing gym but like i said i cant aways get there until i can drive therfore i train at a weight lifitng gym

The PAL traditionally has boxing in it, it's one of the oldest overall boxing programs out there. The PAL tournament in California is a national ranking tournament for USA Boxing.

[Bill1234]

I typicaly don't do anything if I'm going to get hit in the face. I usually just get hit in the face, or get hit on the side of the head. I know what I'm supposed to do, roll with the punch etc, but I just don't.

[MagnificentMatt]

I understand you were some kind of highschool jock with football and wrestling..

But its not going to help you in boxing, you dont have pads, the best way to take a punch is to just get hit, really you should try and improve on your instincts and get better defense. Because most of the time if your already in the match your not gonna remember to roll with punches, your just gonna get hit.
I use getting hit as somthing to tell me "wake up, this isnt good enough", and just psych me up some more..

Pretty much, theres no way you should take a hit, cause you shouldnt get hit. My opinion.

[younghypnotiq]

alright thanks.

[MagnificentMatt]

alright thanks.

BTW, i used to wrestle and play football until i found boxing...:-)

Tried baseball for one year, but i hated that.

[younghypnotiq]

yah. lol. wrestling is sick i love it. when your role witha punch you keep your chin ntucked right? and twist your body?

[JMonster]

another thing i forgot to say it to breathe out right b4 the shot (exhale)
