Fighting/Sparring has a wonderful way of wearing out even the most conditioned individuals. It’s really more about knowing how to pace yourself than it is about being in good shape.
A good kicking drill in the same field as what we’re talking about here is what we call in TKD as “Flutter Kicks.” They are a great workout and you’ll be gasping pretty quickly. Here’s a video demonstrating them. If you’d like, I can write an article detailing how to do them and some of its variations for your site. Let me know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEcbi07EJIc
Will have to try those once my ankle heals back up (tried a hard spinning back kick) which turns out isn’t smart for a boxer to do lol. And yeah definitely would love to have an article.
You gotta train the neck, a strong neck is SO important!
For sure, something my wrestling, football, and boxing coaches all drilled into me early. If you gonna hit and get hit you need a thick neck.
