[no one]

try getting a job.

it won't help your boxing but then again i doubt much will.

[Overload]

Tuck your chin, never stop moving your head side to side, throw punches from the hips. Sway side to side at the hips, use the motion of your hip action as leverage.

And please stop jumping straight up and down, move move move, side side side, duck duck duck, sway lean sway lean. Never EVER stand in one spot for more than 1 second unless you want to die.

Recoil your punches as fast as you throw them.

You're a good dude, but you would get killed in a fight.

Also elbows are always great on punching bags, but they open you up too much in a real fight. Try to stay as far away as possible from your opponent. Punch "through" your target.

Focus on not getting hit, instead of hitting, be passive aggressive. Counter!!!

Good luck!

"Drive by" uppercut by Big George at :57 mark ...the way George shot that uppercut was textbook. Watch George drive that shot off his back left leg, turn his hips, shoulders into that shot.

Devastating.

[Natural Man]

you look like a fucking dwarf, no wonder u cant get a job and spend all your day playing video games and "boxing" / training mma" in your closet sized flat while mommy pays for everything.





Seriously you look like a fucking 13 year old with an oversized head lol.

Napoleon complex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Napoleon complex is a colloquial term describing an alleged type of inferiority complex which is said to affect some people, especially men, who are short in stature. The term is also used more generally to describe people who are driven by a perceived handicap to overcompensate in other aspects of their lives. This term is also known as Napoleon syndrome,[1] Short Man syndrome,[2] Little Man syndrome and Small Man syndrome. It does not appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)[3]

The Napoleon complex is named after French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. The conventional wisdom is that Napoleon overcompensated for his short height by seeking power, war and conquest. However, Napoleon was actually of average height for his time period and misconceptions may have been due to an incorrect conversion of his height. Historians have now suggested Napoleon was 5'6 (1.68 m) tall.[4] Napoleon was often seen with his Imperial Guard, which contributed to the perception of him being short because the Imperial Guards were above average height. In psychology, the Napoleon complex is regarded as a derogatory social stereotype.[5]

[edit] Research

In 2007, research by the University of Central Lancashire suggested that the Napoleon complex (described in terms of the theory that shorter men are more aggressive to dominate those who are taller than they) may be a myth. The study discovered that short men (below 5'5" [1.65 m]) were less likely to lose their temper than men of average height. The experiment involved subjects dueling each other with sticks, with one subject deliberately rapping the other's knuckles. Heart monitors revealed that the taller men were more likely to lose their tempers and hit back. University of Central Lancashire lecturer Dr Mike Eslea commented that "when people see a short man being aggressive, they are likely to think it is due to his size, simply because that attribute is obvious and grabs their attention."[2]

The Wessex Growth Study is a community-based longitudinal study conducted in the UK that monitored the psychological development of children from school entry to adulthood. The study was controlled for potential effects of gender and socioeconomic status, and found that "no significant differences in personality functioning or aspects of daily living were found which could be attributable to height";[6] this functioning included generalizations associated with the Napoleon complex, such as risk-taking behaviors.[7]

Professor Abraham Buunk of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands has found evidence of the small man syndrome. Researchers at the University found that men who were 5'4" (1.62 m) were 50% more likely to show signs of jealousy than men who were 6'6" (1.98 m). Sociological experiments have shown that there are several advantages to being tall in attracting a mate, and the small man syndrome is believed to be an evolutionary adaptation.[8]
[edit] In evolutionary theory

The term "Napoleon complex" has been used in scientific research on the phenomenon of smaller organisms acting aggressively towards larger organisms. In contrast to the many examples of larger organisms acting aggressively towards smaller organisms in the animal kingdom, some studies of aggressive behavior in organisms have detected cases where smaller individuals initiate aggression.[9] A 1995 study of contests between males in the swordtail fish species Xiphophorus nigrensis and Xiphophorus multilineatus found that 78% of observed fights were initiated by the smaller fish, and in 70% of fights the fish that delivered the first bite lost the conflict.[10] From an evolutionary perspective, this "Napoleon complex" behavior seems irrational.[9]

Posited explanations include an asymmetry in the value of the contested resource to the two combatants (the individual with lower resource holding potential may attack first if the value of the resource is greater for him), a misconception on the part of the weaker organism about his own strength, and the "Desperado Effect", where omega males attack because they have no other opportunities to gain resources.[11]

Ohio University researchers have suggested another explanation, that the stronger contestant benefits from delaying escalating a display to a fight, "leaving the initiative to the opponent and hoping for him to retreat, either because of realistic perception of his chances to win the fight or by mistake. [...] our proposed explanation for what is commonly considered the 'Napoleon Complex' might be appropriately identified as the 'Gentle Giant Syndrome.'"[12]

A University of Glasgow study concluded that a Napoleon complex evolutionarily stable strategy, where smaller individuals are more aggressive than larger opponents, is possible when smaller individuals display and larger individuals retreat; this may occur when the smaller individual has some chance to win a fight and resources are abundant and of relatively low value, or when the value of the resource is too small to the larger individual when compared to the injury risk.[9]

Looking lean, mean, large and in charge!

Looks like you pack a good punch and stay tight. In my opinion, I wouldn't bother wearing boxing gloves when hitting the bag. When you hit bare knuckle you learn to make a tight fist at the point of contact. When you wear gloves you never make a real fist so if you ever go bare knuckle you stand a chance of breaking your hand because you never clenched it tight in training. When you're use to going bare knuckle and THEN you put on gloves then you automatically clench your fist anyway even though it's not fully clenched because of the gloves.

I know everybody wears gloves when hitting the bag. But that's why they do it. Because that's how it's always been done. Plus, back in the day bags use to be made out of rough canvas which would rip the skin off your knuckles. Most bags are vinyl now so your knuckles will be fine.

I've got a vinyl bag and my hands would be raw in 5 minutes if I hit it without gloves.

I'm going to co-sign on will grant's statement. Getbig is in a state where posting a video of yourself boxing a 30 pound bag in a corner is acceptable. Swede is single-handedly outing getbig with these boxing videos. Getbig used to crush this type of thing. Sad commentary on the current state of the getbig website.
