- I show you how to do the pivot in boxing footwork or fighting footwork. The pivot is a common boxing footwork technique perfect for turning your body to get new angles for attacking or to create angles for evading your opponent's attacks (basically for defensive purposes). All you need to know are some basic tips and then you'll be free to pivot as little or as much as you need to throw or avoid punches. Also I include some footwork tricks to help you find creative ways to use the pivot in a fight.

I didn't know how to pivot to the right properly before this video it felt awkward and slow but now the problems been solved, thanks johnny.
I'm glad you made this video, because my pivot was kinda slow, especially to my left side. But this sped things right up. Thank you so much!

Thank you for this video. Im in the process of trying to teach myself how to do a 180 pivot in martial arts and this video helped alot
Love your tutorial videos!! Keep it up ^_^
Nice clip. Pivots are great when utilised well. Especially in the pocket
I'm loving your videos. You're explaining things that I never really got to learn otherwise. I'm a writer and I honestly think that this video especially is going to be huge for a scene I have in mind. I think I'm actually understanding how this footwork thing works. Plus, now I have something fun to add to my workout routine. :)
good stuff johnny. Once I realised boxing started with my feet I improved greatly.
This video deserves so much more views than this. Good Work man love your videos, they are helping me alot! :D
Great video, thanks for the tips! Footworks is my hurdle right now.
You make it look so easy Johnny. People like me with two left feet have to watch this many times to get it right lol
Helpful tutorial, good job Johnny
Awesome video!
I've been anxiously await tips on footwork. I'm a fight in a phonebooth kind of slugger. i'll work these thanks.
Should be "Hey, I'm johnny from expert hair styling"
+Seff D Unfortunately, that take didn't make the cut.
Thanks for all tips really helpful

Helpful lesson!
Biggest help I could find dude thx 💪🙏😸
Arthur Kagondo You're very welcome.
GREAT TIP . THANKS
This channelis helping me so much
Hey these videos are atcually helpful
Excellent video and some good attention to the subtleties, in this case stepping quickly when pivoting to set up the shot immediately rather than aimlessly rotating and standing like a statue thereafter.
nice video, thanks
I Really got to say THANK YOU, I notice that I move a lot or slip but i hardly Pivot. Thanks for this guide : )
Awesome
Thank you for all your help! Since i discovered expertboxing:com i am a better boxer . Greetings from Argentina
what got me into boxing was actually the anime series Hajime no ippo. After I finished the three seasons, I started watching actual matches to get a feel for it. I found your channel and once I had watched your vids I found online tutorials and now I'm not half bad. This video helps me a lot. I will definitely try to work my feet more. Thanks again for the advice
Hunter L how is it going now
Another excellent video! Really does a lot of good with practise!
I was teaching my wife this but I learned something extra. Been boxing since the Army in Europe 15 yrs now. Your a good technical teacher.
Respect
Really wanna learn boxing💪

Hey Johnny, can you give me some tips on how not to get caught with an uppercut while rolling and ducking? Thanks!
Cheers for the tip man. What about ducking? Is it okay to duck under a punch whilst pivoting, say to set up for a hook to the body?
Hi Johnny! I just want to say thank you for sharing on all this important information. You have a lot of great knowledge on the craft of boxing/western boxing. With your permission, would it be possible on showing a video on the different type of footwork for boxing and Bruce Lee's art of Jeet Kune Do? That would be a great topic to share. Continue success!
TheInsider2011 I have several videos showing footwork. Each one focusing on different aspects. I never learned anything from Bruce Lee or Jeet Kune do so I have no comment on that. I do know however that a lot of his footwork comes from boxing.
ty for all the videos you're posting that help me to get in shape and a good self defense for whatever situation who know's?
Hello johnny I have hard time with pivoting I feel like all my sparing partners have this down pat and can't seem to get it. Do you think you could get someone to work with you so I could see where I can put my self relative to where my opponent would be standing.
wooom!!!
Hi Johnny, I've been boxing for two years now, my cardio is a lot better then when I started but I've never be able to lose weight like I want can u give me any tips to drop weight, thanks
Hi Johnny i have a question. When you apply force with your rear foot to pivot do you keep your lead foot flat( only when you apply force not when you're rotating) ? Thanks
When do you plant your foot fully on the ground and only step on your toes? I see some upper cuts with the back foot on the toes and is the minority of the weight on the leading leg or the back leg most of the time?
awesome moves, i will use that in a street fight when i would have to
+streetbass 786 Don`t try that with someone who punches quite hard without gloves! Although someone skipped backwards to avoid my punch.
Mark Anthony nice one cheers mate
Johnny one of my buddies at the gym got rocked in the face and started crying (hes 13). Is there any like excercises that he can do I told him neck excercises. But im going to ask you. Do you know any thing we can do?
Hey Johnny I have a big question for you? Since this world is so big do you believe any two or more fighters fight exactly 100% alike or everyone has a unique way of fighting regardless? For instance like same style,skill set, techniques,movement,strategy,etc any way of fighting? If so how do you beat somebody who fights like you if you both already know what to expect?
Hi App Expert Box im starting my first day of boxing tommorow any tips you can give me im a girl and theres alot of guys and i need advice or tips
GO AWAY! GO AWAY! Shooooe!
Probably trains combat sports or (as is a regular occurrence in Glasgow) has had enough street fights😂 Straight into guard after the headbutt and reacted straight away when the guy acted like he was going to step forward when he had no intention.
Johnny I watched your footwork and dodging videos but when I try using them when sparring the punches fly at my face so quickly I can't react to them in time. Also I can't stop blinking and looking away when I get hit, even when I just get tapped its like all my training goes out the window. What do I do?
futsalfred2 It's typical response for a beginner. To start with, try to avoid only the most important punches. Instead of trying to outmaneuver slip everything, try slipping only the bigger punches (like right hands). Also, there's no way in hell you're going to be able to slip and move around punches when you're not fast enough to process what punches are coming at you. You'll need more time doing drills.
Also watch for the other boxers twitches in their arms, go with your instinct
+futsalfred2 , you should look out for the distance and spacing rather than his jab. If your in his reach, always expect the jabs to come, move inside of our outside of the jab distance range immediately. don't stay in jab range. I don't think boxers can really sees a jab coming they only can see the opponent move forward and shift bodyweight, you should counterpunch immediately as if there was a jab coming regardless.
Spend more time doing slow motion and very soft sparring with friendly partners, it helps train your eyes on distancing, otherwise you'll loose too many brain cells before the competition.
help ! i dont know how to breathe when i throw punches , i always breath out fast with every swing but i dont know when to breath back in while still throwing a punch ? please answer this question lad
Watch my video on breathing technique. I have an article on that as well on my website.
shots :)
Hey Johnny, thanks for a great tip mate! I have been wondering for a long time how old are you? You look so young xd
Az3vedov I'm 30. Although the videos you're watching were actually recorded nearly a year and half ago since it takes me so long to edit them.
expertboxing Alright mate, i would never say that you are 30, look so young but i guess staying fit makes you look better haha. Again thank you for amazing tips.
Ps. just a little question, did you ever make a video about body shots? I have been watching Canelo Alvarez and his body shots are great so I wanted to improve mine.
expertboxing WOW ya look like your 19 or21
James Crisostomo Az3vedov yeah...I don't know why. I think it's the Asian thing and on top of that I just look young. Oh well...it'll help when I'm 50.
You pivoting off the heal? Or the toe?
what do you think?
i only have gloves and a punching bag at home however whenever i punch the bag my arms get tired really easily and i dnt have a gym or any sort of training area near me, how can i make the maximum use of my bag and how can i train my arms not to get tired?
Relax and technique. Don't neglect general fitness either even though it's nowhere near as fun as the fight training
Hassan Ahmed Keep practicing bro, you'll build up endurance for your punches. You should also possibly try to train your shoulders' endurance. Maybe do shoulder raises / lifts, it'll help keep your arms, elbows and shoulders up for a longer period of time, which would help you throw more punches.
how to block stomach and liver punch.
Use your elbows.
Can you do a virtual sparring video
mayhemfighter32 g Yes.
It would be helpful to see your feet
Good cuing your feet arent visable in most of the video?
It does suck! Thank you for the feedback.
Do martial artist`s ever use these moves? Could they be used in MMA?
I think they would be useful in close range.
+expertboxing Have you ever discussed something like that with a martial artist?
Here and there but I'm not a martial arts expert.
Ask Ross!
martial law
Vale dejar de mirar la cámara, ademas estas mostrando como se hace una técnica básica, podes hacerlo bien para que aprendamos a hacerlo nosotros? si yo trato de copiar lo que mostras me va a ir mal en un sparring.
