So me and my friend do a little traditional thing where every month, we fight each other.
It's a friendly fight but we punch hard enough to go with bloody noses and bruises.
I put my hands near my temple and duck my chin looking at him with my hands up.
Every time my friend goes and punches me, I'm not quick enough to dodge the punch.
When he punches, I end up curling in a ball and he punches all over my sides trying to open me up.
When I punch, I move my head to the opposite way i punch. So if I punch with my right, I move my head to the left but still keep my left hand up and ready.
I do this and get punched in the face at times. How can I get my eyes to be more sharp and ready to block punches?
I do not train on equipment like a speed bag so I don't really know what to do.
Thanks for the help!
