It is spring time. It is also bug time. Flying bug time. If ind my self dodging like crazy. Especially when I heard that buzz of their wings close to my ears.
Imagine a special glove that will help you evade. It is equip with a speaker that sounds like a bee or a a fly or a swarm of them. the closer they travel to your head the louder it will sound. Bee sounds naturally send a chill through us. We can use it to our advantage.
It will help us Pavlov style.
For those of you that don't know Pavlov, he is famous for getting his dogs to salivate whenever they hear the bell. He reinforced this behavior by ringing a bell at the same time he served food. Done enough times, it provoked the salivation with just the bell.
Glove is meant to help you see and hear the glove. Sound can give you a sense of how close something is. Vision can help too, but it can be fooled. Beginners usually stay way to far away. They block when punch is too far to ever hit them. they dodge punches that would never have landed in the first place.
The bee sounds come in to play. When it gets close our natural instinct is to freak out and move away! We will associate the sound with the image of the punch.
take away the sound and we will move away from the punch as if we were dodging a bee.
Buzz like a boxer
Punch like a bee
