🥊 Inspired by The downstairs tradition · The Academies
Elite Body-Punching Academy
Head shots win highlights. Body shots win the rounds the highlights happen in. This is the curriculum of the sport's most honest strategy.
Everything downstairs: the liver shot's exact geography, the solar-plexus straight, rib hooks, the mechanics of digging versus slapping, and the strategic patience of an attack that pays in round eight for work done in round two. Study references from Chávez's compounding to Bam's southpaw cruelty.
“Head shots change the round. Body shots change the fight.”
The DNA
- —Target geography — liver, plexus, ribs, heart-side
