Like a game of chess, a boxing match has an infinite number of combinations and different ways a fight can play out.
In the beginning of your development, I find it much more important to understand themes (changing levels/speed, countering and feinting, fighting on the inside vs the outside, etc) than to just memorize combinations. Just like in chess you learn basic strategies and tactics (center control, when to castle, forks, pins, discovered openings, etc) before memorizing openings.

Coach Ian – Week in Review: What I’m reading: Sacred Cow: Diane Rodgers and Robb Wolf  Humankind: A Hopeful History Product I’m trying: Lynn’s Life Bread – This is a keto/paleo bread that I bought and it tastes great. The only thing I didn’t like was probably the pumpkin seeds in there, but that wasn’t a major issue. And this was CGM tested and confirmed not to spike blood sugar. Raw Egg Yolks – Ha. This one was inspired by Geoffrey Woo, CEO of HVMN, doing it on the fasting episode of the (Un)Well show on Netflix. My Lynn’s Life… Read More »Coach Ian – Week In Review: (9/6/2020)

Coach Ian – Week in Review: What I’m reading: Breaking Hate: Confronting the New Culture of Extremism – Christian Picciolini: I had recently read some articles by Christian Picciolini, a former white supremacist turned anti-racism activist, on NPR and The Atlantic. I find his perspective an interesting insight into how racism is formed and perpetuated amongst.

I had to switch up my training this week due to the current air conditions, and opted to skip my long distance run and to do a 48 hour fast, while tracking my blood glucose levels with a CGM instead. I wrote about my 2-Day Water Fast wearing a CGM here. I found this interview to be a very helpful guide: Dr. Peter Attia… Read More »Coach Ian – Week In Review: (8/23/2020)
