On just this one quote... My work with a heavy bag changed dramatically as I focused on this. Still a lot of work to do, but I found the feeling of working the bag changed too. Power went up, power changed. Delivery came at odder and odder angles for me. A friend visited recently who I used to train with and he commented that on the bag I seemed faster than I ever was before. And how did I manage that being 10 years older, a bit fatter, and a lot more injured...
Dynamic stillness. Makes for surprisingly fast striking and movement.
Still trying to grok it all... Back to my rubber bands. And I need to find some time to get together with Gary...
