Important Self Defense Tip: Avoid Telegraphing your Fighting Moves
In today’s article we’ll teach you a powerful self defense trick to avoid telegraphing your moves during a fight.
First off, even if you were a world class fighter and you were able to throw the most powerful punch the world has ever seen, your punches wouldn’t be very effective if your opponents could see them coming a mile away.
So, telegraphing is what this problem is known as. You should avoid doing this during a fight if you want to increase your chances of victory.
People who do not train in self defense, and therefore do not know how to throw a proper punch, tend to make this mistake very often.
Cocking back your fist in order to build up power for a strike will tell your opponent exactly what you have in store for them. This will give them plenty of time to react and throw a power punch of their own.
Not knowing how to throw a punch correctly causes this problem. But it is also due to a lack of discipline that could be rectified during training.
Training to get rid of bad habits such as telegraphing your fighting moves, will prove to be indispensable when your adrenaline is pumping.
It’s all about keeping proper form when you train, so when you’re in a real fight you won’t go and throw around wild punches, potentially putting yourself in a disadvantageous position.
