Good deal, good deal. So how does one go about getting to be that good? Practice? Certain exercises? Footwork practice? It seems impossible to perceive and get out of the way of a jab, and then magically perceive and get out of the way of the follow-up cross coming almost instantly, especially if the opponent feints his punches. But then of course, there's footwork for that, I guess.
I can be honest in saying that if I was challenged/attacked by someone, I'd feel much prouder not getting hit by him and having him tire himself out and fall on his ass while I laugh, rather than actually engaging in fighting back. But then again, maybe I'm not thinking realistically.
I've never heard of this skill in my life, so maybe I'm making it out to be a bigger thing than it is. My friend's brother who does this is coming to dinner with us on Sunday, so maybe I'll get to see this in person and figure it out for myself.
Thanks. |
