How do you guys define shocking power?
Also I've decided. The guy with little mustache and blue t shirt at 10:53 on ep4 is my favourite. Seems like he has a good demeanour, works on the subtleties and wants to teach.
Agree, that mustache guy had some good qualities.
And also, I don’t understand(anymore) the showing and demonstrating “great power” “shocking power” in set situations .......And then, allthat (overemphasized)practice for power generation which turns into feinting and slappy hands if just engage in a little freestyling sparring.
Not saying they should go in try to knockdown the visiting team of three. But if they want to demonstrate how they freestyle spar with the power generation they practiced daily for so long, they could spar eachother(with protective gears of course)? I’ll bet the “old” sleeveless t-shirt guy is really great with boxing gloves on
