FREE Online boxing exclusive tips and videos - Precision Striking
If you're looking for online resources, you can search for reputable boxing websites, YouTube channels, or fitness platforms that offer instructional videos and tips. Here are some general boxing tips:
Proper Stance and Footwork: A solid foundation begins with a proper stance and footwork. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, one foot slightly in front of the other, knees slightly bent, and weight balanced evenly. This stance enables you to move quickly and maintain balance.
Basic Punches: Learn and practice the fundamental punches – jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. Focus on maintaining proper technique, using your entire body's rotation to generate power.
Defense: Master the art of defense by practicing techniques like slipping, bobbing and weaving, and blocking. Defense is just as crucial as offense in boxing.
Fitness and Conditioning: Boxing requires excellent cardiovascular fitness and overall conditioning. Incorporate skipping, shadow boxing, running, and strength training into your routine to improve your endurance and strength.
Bag Work: Hone your skills by hitting heavy bags and speed bags. This helps improve your accuracy, power, and timing.
Sparring: Once you have a strong grasp of the basics, consider engaging in controlled sparring sessions with a partner. This helps you put your skills into practice while learning to react to real-life situations.
Mental Focus: Boxing is not just physical; it's also a mental game. Develop mental toughness, focus, and discipline to keep pushing forward during challenging moments.
Proper Breathing: Learn how to breathe efficiently during different phases of a bout. Breathing can impact your stamina and help you stay composed.
Nutrition and Hydration: Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated to support your training and recovery.
Rest and Recovery: Give your body sufficient time to recover after intense training sessions to prevent overtraining and injuries.
When searching for online resources, make sure to find reputable sources with experienced trainers or boxers. Always prioritize safety and technique over trying to rush your progress.

Wei Wuxian at the Xuanwu cave is the absolute funniest. "Lan Zhan, Lan Zhan, don't worry, I'm not into men so I won't have my wicked way with you right here in this cave. Lan Zhan, why are you so angry? Why yes, I guess flirting with people when you don't mean anything by it could throw their hearts into turmoil, but I don't get what your problem is, it's not like I was flirting with you! Which I wouldn't do, since you're a man, obviously! So I guess you must like that girl, huh... Hey, Lan Zhan, why do you look like you're going to kill me?"

N!Alucard swearing in particular doesn't mske sense because he was raised by the two people in the whole show who actually never swore once and were really refined, not to mention he presumably lived in pretty isolated conditions so there could be no way for him to gain any rude behavior
The show tries to sell the idea that Trevor's behavior rubbed off on him but he was calling his ancestors brain dead hillbillies and overall acting like a cunt as soon as he met the guy
It literally makes no sense for him to be this way even in-universe
Yes, exactly.
It's the same logic of that S4 scene where Sypha goes on a rant because "I said shit, you did this to me!" when this woman literally snarked that she was going to make Trevor drink her piss by telling him its was beer, like, 10 minutes after meeting him. No, you made nearly everyone talk the same, you don't get to paint Trevor as the "crass one"!
Funnily enough, Alucard insulting the Belmont heritage by more or less calling them primitive savages for their techniques does fit the idea that he's a haughty spoiled prince who thinks he's so much superior than the low class. Probably not what the writers intended, though :P
overall acting like a cunt as soon as he met the guy
In S1E4, he literally asks Trevor if he's "a runt running around with the Belmont crest" before even fighting. And I get the idea that Alucard wanted to test him to see if he could help him, but the antagonism is so forced. I honestly don't know why Alucard would hate Trevor on sight: their personalities are not that opposite.
It's shit like this that pisses me off:
Alucard: This is a simple remote viewing mirror. A little of the activating language is chipped. A few of the runes need re-cutting,
but workable. You have the most fascinating family junkyard, Belmont.
Trevor: You are a cockwart, Alucard.
Sypha: Stop it. *drags Trevor away* You are an adult. You do not have to rise to his every barb.
Trevor: He's pissing me off like it's his job, Sypha.
Sypha: Grow up, Trevor.
Alucard attacked Trevor first for literally zero reason, Trevor insults him back (less elegantly but whatever, I'd call him a cockwart too) and Sypha reproaches him and tells him to grow up? And then the scene transitions to Trevor explaining the origins of his name... which leads to the two flirting? Bro? The fuck? This is literally "be nice to your bully" logic??
This is the forced framing of the show. It wants to tell me Trevor is the immature, rude one, because Alucard is justified:
Sypha: But it's like he's a cold spot in the room. It's not like your sadness.
Trevor: I'm not sad.
Sypha: Yes, you are. But I can shout at you, or tease you, and get a reaction that lets me know you're still in there. His sadness is like an icy well. It's bottomless… and it swallows up your voice and anything you try to drop into it.
Trevor's depression is funny, Alucard's depression is tragic. Comic relief vs. real protagonist. You can't make this shit up.
And then this other shit:
Sypha: Stop testing him, Alucard.
Alucard: I am concerned I have thrown my lot in with a demented infant.
Sypha: I imagine he has similar concerns about you.
Alucard: I am also concerned that you enjoy him too much.
Sypha: And what is that supposed to mean?
Alucard: He is unreliable, emotionally damaged, and apparently very distracting to you while you should be focused on the task at hand.
Sypha: Oh. Am I not working hard enough? Hmm?
Alucard: And he's a drunk and he's self-destructive and anybody trying to hold on to him may well simply be dragged down with him.
Sypha: You're afraid. You worry that you might have made
the wrong choice. So you're trying to make him prove himself
again and again by constantly provoking him. You forget, Alucard.
Trevor didn't get to finish out his childhood. He is not the man here
who may not have grown up.
This is not testing. Sypha joked about finding a book with penis spells, and Alucard unprovoked threw a jab at Trevor. He just decided to insult him as soon as he saw an opening. (although, hilariously enough, it lowkey sounds like he's crushing on Sypha and he's jealous that she and Trevor had a decent chat the other night)
Hey, asshole. Trevor literally brought your ungrateful ass to a place that holds all of his heritage, a heritage he was shunned for, because you need help to kill Daddy - and I don't give a shit if you feel attacked in your vampire identity which makes zero sense and makes you look really callous, you want a vampire hunter for the job, you get someone who kills people like you for a living. You have seen him fighting: you have seen that he is very competent at his job, which is what you need. On the other hand, in S2 we barely if ever see him drink like in S1. You literally, literally, have zero reasons to speak that way, unless you're just looking for excuses to be a dick. And if you're that insecure about your choice... leave. Find someone else. Go fight Dracula alone, since in any case you ended up doing all the work. And Sypha, why the fuck did you go and bang Trevor when you clearly prefer Alucard over him. Look, she's defending him, but she's still calling him a manchild! What's with Ellis and his obsession with manchildren and humiliating them!
... I'm sorry, I know I strayed away from the point of him swearing, but N!Alucard is such a rude prick! I hate him! It's not Trevor's fault, he was born that way! He's not even that pretty that would justify him becoming the fandom's blorbo! I want to slap him and Sypha so much and then rescue Trevor who needs much better friends than these two 😭

"Oh, my poor darling!" As she spoke, she took her husband's grey head in her hands and kissed it. "Lay your poor head here and rest it. All will yet be well, dear! God will protect us if He so will it in His good intent." The poor fellow groaned.
Jonathan's like, I love you but how do I tell you as gently as possible not to talk about God's will when I'm this close to going full Faustus. Also, your wording isn't helping things.
On the one hand, I get that Mina was just being herself, trying to keep Jonathan and everyone's spirits up. But at the same time, I know in my heart that the only thing Jonathan heard was--
Mina: Don't worry, Jonathan! Just because God didn't step in for Lucy, or for Mr. Swales, or for the sailors of the Demeter, or for that mother who got torn apart by wolves, or those children Dracula fed to his Brides, or presumably any of the other uncountable legions of innocent victims Dracula's preyed on for centuries, doesn't mean He won't take care of our predicament! But hey, on the off-chance it's God's will that He fumbles my soul and humanity too, could you and our new friends maybe swear to double-kill me to prevent my chances of coming back as a vampire? It's cool, just think of it like it's olden times, when husbands and fathers would murder their families to prevent their enemies from getting to them. Also can you give me an early funeral rite? It'd make me feel better. :)
Jonathan: ...
Mephistopheles, sliding into his spiritual DMs: lol, that's crazy. Want to look at our Unholy Vengeance package?

Yo Hector, look what I did!!
*seconds of silence pass*
Hector: ... what the hell.
*Isaac is doubled down, wheezing*
Isaac: Hahahahaha! Ohhh, I bet you'd love this to happen, wouldn't you, Hector? *snidely* To have Lord Dracula fawning all over you...
Hector: Fuck you, Isaac. I'm done with this. *storms out*
Isaac: With pleasure! Ah, forgive him, he doesn't appreciate fine art. I wonder if you could draw something similar for me, hahaha! I'd be sure to cherish your artistic vision...
