Technical Sparring with Controlled Power

Описание: In this sparring session, the focus is on skill, control, and composure. 🔑

The goal is not to cause damage. ❌

Payton is 16 years old and weighs 130 pounds. He has been training with Coach Alejandro at Benevolent Boxing for the past two years and is preparing for his first USA Boxing amateur competition in Spring 2026.

Tommy is 29 years old and weighs 185 pounds. He has been training with Alejandro for about one year.

Despite the age and size difference, this round is about technical integration. It is about applying what has been practiced in training with awareness and restraint. ⚔️

Both of these guys can throw real power and hurt someone if they choose to. That is not the intention here.

We train the art of controlling power. 🔥

We use the metaphor of a stick shift car. Instead of revving power up to higher gears, we keep it in gear two or three. 🏎️

This creates a safer and more playful way to spar. If you get hit, it does not send you into panic mode. You can stay present, respond strategically, and give yourself permission to try new things.

Speed, head movement, defense, and awareness can still be high. The only thing that comes down is the power. 💣

We are not getting paid millions to get our brains crushed. We are here to build longevity, skill, and composure under pressure. 🧠

At the end of the day, we are here to have fun, build skill, and challenge ourselves in a healthy way. 🚀

The qualities we train in the ring carry over into life and support us in being more grounded, capable, and responsible men. 🌎

Great work from both of you. 👊
