I'm a fundamentals, bread and butter kind of guy. Hands up, chin down, (hopefully) good technique.
I'm mostly gonna come forward, pressure you, hit some standard combos, and occasionally throw a superman punch to keep you guessing.
No spinning shit, no kicks above the ribs because I'm too old, short and inflexible, and no flash.
But I've been toying around with a few unorthodox strikes lately. Nothing too crazy, just some variations.
I've had a lot of success with my up jab. It lands almost every time I throw it. Granted, it's not something with much power on it, but the angle seems to confuse opponents.
I've also started mixing in throwing my right more from the chest and without turning it over. It gets there quicker and at an odd angle. Again, there's a sacrifice of power without snapping the wrist over at the end, but it's a pretty high percentage strike for me.
So I'm curious, what odd things do you mix in and why? What works for you that's a little outside the box?
