Man this is huge. I've been playing with the stance switch for 5 days now and it's really cool how I can seemlessly find new angles. Also it made me realize why my right hooks and uppercuts never felt as useful as the left. Now I can actually close distance and right hook or whatever from the south paw stance. Very fun.
0:20 open up angles (stance switch ) 1 Orthodox to orthodox 2 orthodox to southpaw 1:05used in close range to set up hooks and uppercuts 2:50 here switch 4:10 to rr front foot pushes 5:20 orimary uswd at clise range 5:55 using it at longe range only against pushing opponent 6:30 sneaky trick 6:25 mistake jumping 8:30 hand on chin 9:30 on long lang against pushing opponent 10:00 hit bag hard fast 11:00 example 12:30 mix it up body head one hand 13:30 two hands now 14:00 shot switch shot 14:25 so here is 6 examples 3 orthodox to orthodox 3 orthodox to southpaw
Dear Mr. Sands, thanks so much for taking the time! This is more than great. I'm an east-Londoner, living in the Middle East at the moment. Of course, boxing is an east-end tradition, and I regret not gettin into it sooner. My son though is a Prince Nas fanatic and loves boxing. Your vids are oasis in a dry desert. Love you and love the vids, please keep doing them. One day, I'll bring my son up to live in Sefton and train at your gym. He really wants to represent Britain in the Olympics like his heroes Amir Khan and AJ. Let's go champ!
+Azarul Ahmed Excellent, my favourite comment of the week Azrul - thank you for taking the time to write, I really appreciate it. Look forward to hearing how your boy progresses, I love hearing the dreams of young people and seeing them work toward them!!!
Every time i watch your videos i call my little brother over to spar the next day and we learn so much. We thoroughly enjoy your videos and tips thank you for putting out such amazing content and value
Thank you sir for this video ive been jumping instead of leavimg one foot on the ground, its worked for me but this was very in depth and has helped me a lot
Fantastic video. I'm really glad I came across this video as I have been practicing similar technique having seen Vasyl Lomachenko use this a lot in his fights and having lots of success with it. Thanks again.
It's a beautiful, beautiful tutorial. I've boxed and done muay thai 41 and 33 years respectively, I have never seen the switch so well explained by anyone. Beautiful. Believe it or not you can use the forearm and elbow in the way not allowed in boxing and the orthodox to orthodox sets up elbows and knees like hooks and uppercuts.
I did it on my sparring session and it works so nice, I had to stop my punches at my opponents head cos he was so exposed when I was switching angles like that.
I wanna congratulate you for all your videos. They are all very useful and certainly help people who likes Boxing to improve even more. I wish I had a coach like you. I have been training boxe for almost 5 years and I had never done this kind of exercises. I mean every one should have all this background before going in a ring. I hope I can improve more watching all your videos. All movements you show are very useful and if well trained the person will be a good boxer. I just would like to see in the end of the video after all technical explanation how it should work in a real situation. I believe it could make easier to apply in a sparring. At least for me. But again congrats for all your videos. I hope you keep doing for a while. I hope I have the opportunitie to training with you one day.
Thank you for all the videos coach! I finally got to see everything ive been doing wrong! I can't wait to use all I've learned in a sparring session. Thank you so much for this coach. I just wish i could have you on my corner. Thank you for helping me improve and correct my movement
Some interesting concepts I have not seen. I do alot of stance switching (for muaythai and mma). I like the stance switch to his left the best. Its a nice easy change that gets you a great angle.
if I ever become a good boxer ill thank you and my karate master, in the boxing gym they literally just throw me to hit the bag and spar never teach me anything relevant
1. Switch stance - Hook to body - Hook to head 2. Switch stance - hook to body - uppercut to head 3. Switch stance - Lead Upper cut body - Rear hook head 4. Lead hook - Switch stance - Lead hook
That's all bullshit dude doesn't even look like he know how to fight he just watches shit on TH-cam an passes it along when have you ever seen someone jumping in the ring pivot you dumb ass his fucking feet are to far apart w.e fuck him he's teching people to get fucked up
Coach are you familiar with the triple inside and triple outside. Old technique from way back but very effective. Inside was I think slip in cross to body left hook to body right cross to head. Out wasleft hook to body right hook to kidney left uppercut to head.
I wasn't Rock, but they both sound like highly effective combinations with the switching of attack from flanks to centreline and back again. Very good, thanks!
Hi coach, thanks for replying, i live in Sweden, but i definitely would love to visit the uk and your nice gym and train there, where can i find detailed info about it?
Yano I watched parts of this a few times and thought it was a load of pants but this guy really does have some good views u just gotta listen hence why he a good coach 🤔😊🥊👍you will find a lot of pros miss the basics and make mistakes
Prof. your videos have got all recorded, they are great and very technical, I can suggest something? A video would be good combinations in the bag with body shots and blows up, because the guidance of strokes is great, but remains as rigid, hope no offense, just a suggestion, great video and if I saw him do MIke many times this blessing
Cadre There are different ways depending on whether the opponent stays still or backs away. If static you could follow the left foot through after the back hand (left) hook. Just cover up and you can switch back in any way at all really.
Is there a way to be aggressive in this stance switch from far range (like Dominick Cruz), without having to wait for him to attack? I am pretty tall and have acquired a good range with counters, but would like to attack with this.
Great video. One question please. After I've switched from the orthodox to southpaw stance and thrown a few punches,ow do I get back into the orthodox stance? Thanks
hello.. it may not he relevant to the tutorial but just wanted to know how to fill a heavy bag with. i have seen numerouse videos over the internet but not something standarizing. if you could please do, that would be highly admired and appreciated. p.s. the tutorial was indeed very educating and credible in foot works.
Hey there Fran, I just box for fitness but I feel I should show respect for the art. I find when I get tired I do all sorts of jumping and dancing to get inside the bag and get a jab in. I'm currently remedying this by getting the bag moving in circles then taking my time take a step in, contact and return. Is this the correct way to go about building this skill, if so, should I throw some side steps into the routine. Perhaps, side step, step in, jab, return; then repeat moving in the opposite direction? Thank you for the videos, I'll have them on blast tomorrow in the gym! J
Fran Sands Hi Fran, I was hoping to pop down to your gym in easter break this year. I would like some expertise advice from your self. ( god willing ). I have been subscribed to your channel for couple of years now. I usually go up north Manchester... where is your boxing gym ? many thanks, Ash from london, poplar.
Hi Fran amazing videos think I’ve watched all if not most, was interested with this technique when you end up in the opposite stance (I’m southpaw) you’ve done your combo, what next?
Probably your opponent will turn towards you. And you will be reseted in neutral. If you are reseted and your stance is reversed still. You can just, guard up and switch back, or dodge back and fix your stance to your common stance. Shoudlnt be much of a problem :)
Awesome vid sir! Always wondered how boxers (e.g Mike Tyson) switch stance because most tips that i found always say that you should never switch. Although I do have a question. When you switch from orthodox to southpaw, how do you move away from the opponent, assuming he's able to face you instantly, when your feet are in a different position? And a beginners question(Just started boxing 2 days ago), when you hook using your right hand in an orthodox position, does the left leg need to pivot? if so, at what direction? Many thanks to your awesome tips and videos. P.S. A partner in your videos might help understand how it works in a real fight. (No disrespect meant) Peace!
No worries, thanks very much. Given you've landed a solid lead hand hook (with the right hand) you could follow up with a back hand (left) and push away with a duck, taking you under any right hand counter from the opponent. There's a bunch of ways, do a bit of problem solving with it :-)
How far do the boxers you train (hands on) get when they fight? Any world champs? Olympians? I'm curious because you are intelligent when it comes to the sport
Can you not do this video with a sparring partner to show live demonstration? Its a bit hard to follow when you mention orthodox to orthodox and southpaw to orthodox etc.
Dont think about what its called. Your opponent is the middle line. Do the switch, punch, and the probably your opponent will turn towards you and you will be reseted.
I had a background in martial arts and switching stance is like second nature to me. It rattles your opponent every time, especially using stance change dodges instead of just slipping a punch.
i kind of like the southpaw switch. Like it says, it's for advanced/experienced, not something one teaches to a novice class. Just one more tool in box to work with. Tho i personally will advise people i show it to, to switch back to the ground position as fast as possible. I will drill on the switch : D
+honx schmitt are you saying to get back to the starting stance asap or just to step out in any sensible direction to create another angle like any disengagement(exit on the spokes i hear it called)
brad harris well it's hard to rely deliver devastating blows in that short of time frame, standing with once strong hand forward. I'd deliver the counter and switch back. From there one can follow up or move away.
I have watched many of your tutorials and I have to admit they are top notch. Good job.
Roxiu hehe Thanks
@@myboxingcoach Do you have a video about shifting?The Fitzimmons shift?
@@johnnyangel9163 just type his name in next to that method and u should find it

I’ve been trying to learn this for ages - never had a coach actually know how to explain it / demo it. Great video

Darryl Nuncio what do you mean by that sir?
Ninja Fa boxing is chess with punching
This is excellent. Just like Vasyl Lomachenko and Mike Tyson
Thanks Josh
Mike Tyson is the GOAT
Loma has the opportunity to be up there, he sure is entertaining af to watch. Probably my favorite current boxer.
Best boxing channel on TH-cam! This is Mike Tyson's favorite move! Beautiful!
Thank you sir for this video ive been jumping instead of leavimg one foot on the ground, its worked for me but this was very in depth and has helped me a lot
These are great videos sir. Have you ever considered bringing in another person to act as your 'opponent'? It may help to visualize the concepts.
I do on some of my paid stuff, will probably do more on the free stuff too.
There is so much in his videos, chockas full of boxing goodness.
Nice, I like that second one ,the change of stance very clever.
My kickboxing teacher showed me a similar movement years ago he's a master too.
You are very thorough with your teaching tips. Such a good trainer. Thank you coach!
Big Fan of your approach on boxing!
The very best i've seen on the internet!
Thank you Fran for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks Steven, glad you like it.
Love this coach and his training. Thanks
Can you show how to south paw back to orthodox switch?
have you got some video of your fights or sparring?
There's one when I boxed as a youngster...long time ago. Not sparred in a long time, I'm a coach :-)
It’s crazy because this man doesn’t look all that menacing but when the hands come up it’s look mr. Clean is coming for your life
Haha. Thanks Rodney
Very helpful and extremely useful, thanks coach your work is awesome
you have a video how to bounce side to side? sorry I'm probably asking a dumb question
Not bounce, just move side to side (side stepping video). Generally try to avoid bouncing
where is this gym located and is there any possibility to train there ?

Brilliant video man
why you always move the back leg when punch and not the front leg? my balance feel strange like this

Sir sands some people are going out step out right foot and teen they are following by left foot and teen changing body

Southpaw to orthodox position switch to shoot rear uppercut between guard = a favorite of Vasyl Lomachenco, p4p pugilistic paragon. Nice lesson.
