A Moving Target Is Harder To Hit!

ENTRY 514| OCTOBER 13 /2023

MORE DEFENSE!

This week the coach and I have been working very heavily on defense.

"I want you to be the hitter, not the hitee". and "A moving target is harder to hit" are lines I hear frequently from the coach, and he is right.

We have been working on head movement and stepping out of the way. Blocking, ducking and parrying as well.

All week long we have been drilling defensive moves that he wants me to practice during sparring.

One of my favorite techniques is a left jab, stepping back, and returning with a straight right. I like that move but it is difficult to execute while sparring. nut it is worth practicing.

It looks like we will be focusing on that for a while.

That's all for this entry...

Oh, I almost forgot...

Did you find the grammatical error in the poster from the last entry?

There are actually two.

The first one is that it should be "Tap with **A** bowling ball, but that is very minor albeit technically incorrect.

The major one is "Tap with Debit **AND** Credit".

You would not use both at the same time. You would use Debit **OR** Credit, so it should be "Tap with Debit **OR** Credit. That one is more major and I am surprised that the Toronto Transit Commission missed it, or maybe they didn't miss it but just didn't care. I am guessing the latter. Just like they don't care about being on time, but I'm not discussing that here...right now.
