The TRU Art Of Boxing

 “Eliminate unnecessary movements and non usable techniques. Develop effective movements and techniques from simplicity to mastery.

For example, small extra movements in techniques such as the jab being telegraphed thus giving your opponent time to react and defend. Be “razor sharp” by eliminating any extra movements, executing the jab from point A to point B without any extra movements. 

Then, cultivate or develop this technique to simplicity and mastery”

The concept of “Eliminate and Cultivate” is an important principle in many sports, including boxing. This principle emphasizes the importance of focusing on the most effective movements and techniques, while eliminating unnecessary movements and non-usable techniques.

In boxing, this means analyzing each technique and movement, and identifying any extra movements or telegraphing that may give an opponent an opportunity to react and defend. By eliminating these extra movements and refining the technique to its most effective form, boxers can become more efficient and effective in the ring.

For example, with the jab, a boxer may inadvertently telegraph their intention to throw the punch by making small extra movements or changes in their body position. By eliminating these extra movements and executing the jab directly from point A to point B, without any unnecessary movements, the boxer can become more “razor sharp” and efficient in their technique.

Once the boxer has eliminated any unnecessary movements and refined the technique to its most effective form, the next step is to cultivate or develop this technique to simplicity and mastery. This involves practicing the technique repeatedly, with a focus on perfecting the execution and making it a natural part of the boxer’s repertoire.

By following the “Eliminate and Cultivate” principle, boxers can become more efficient and effective in the ring, and develop a repertoire of techniques that are simple, effective, and reliable. This can give them a strategic advantage over their opponents, and increase their chances of success in the sport of boxing.
