There are no real downsides to the D'Amato Shift. It's a method to use when the ropes form one half of the trap - so the enemy has nowhere to exit. Or the corner. That "beat" is not a flaw; it can be used as a defence because you are coming off-line (escape from jab?). It is a tactical weapon which should be used correctly; that is all. The only real negative is that this takes years to train. You need legs like tree trunks because the technique is terribly demanding and as you said, it expends energy. A young mans's style that requires a dancer's timing and a powerlifter's quads. To be deployed when terrorising the opponent's ribcage in-close. In my opinion, the only way to defeat the giants of the game like Tyson Fury. Long live Cus!
There are downsides otherwise it would be a perfect move that everyone would use to win. One of the downside he actually does at 10:22 where you can end up square on to your opponent rather than side on. This means you are easier to knock over and also provides your opponent with a bigger target. I have seen boxers recently get stopped because they were square on they got punched in the face with a straight right that sent them straight backwards and KO'd the guy.
@@andyh7895 Thanks for this comment. I appreciate it because it helps me learn! I agree, to a point. Hear me out, and let me be the Devil's Advocate: "Being square doesn't necessarily give the opponent more target to hit.The D'Amato Shift is not to be deployed without that pendulum head-movement Tyson in his Kid Dynamite phase was so known for. It isn't used because it is terribly technical to understand and train. It's not just a question of moving the head: fast feet in the correct position matter just as much. The footwork really key. The square position enables switch-hitting on tap. Saying all of that it simply isn't suited for 90% of fighters. If you are too tall, it is pointless. If you have slow feet or poor balance, you can't do it. But Andy Ruiz could definitely do it. He doesn't move his head at all." What do you think? ;-)
@@BlackPrimeMinister I mean being absolutely square where your feet are at 90 degrees to opponent. That put you off balance and makes for bigger target. Tyson was never trained that way. He had a squarer stance than most but was never fully square on. Also he was never trained as a switch hitter and D'Amato would tell him off when he went southpaw at times. The side step is not exclusive to D'Amato's style. It is used a lot in various Martial Arts as well. Just be careful not to end up in a totally square stance I suppose. But I'm no expert.
@@andyh7895 It's such an interesting subject, man. Interesting details there I didn't know.
@@BlackPrimeMinister Yeah. There is no perfect way to fight thats why boxing is so competitive and upsets happen. Foot work wise I would say always be in a position to punch. Its fairly easy to avoid punches by running but difficult to avoid punches and still have effective counters.
I love your breakdowns man you’re so good at explaining tactics! 🥊
Just tried this a little today I definitely need to work on this more. If you have time please have a look at my short I uploaded today implementing this some. Thanks again for all your hard work and knowledge transfer 🙏🥊
Your observation and comment drew me to watch the video. You're right about his breakdowns --- he explains tactics in a way that leaves you feeling you're getting information from a knowledgeable source.
@@tombrown9866 100%! I have progressed so fast thanks to him and Tony Jeffries. 🥊 if you look at my channel you’ll see how I progressed past few months!
I do love Loma's variation which is to leave his lead hand out to block his opponents sight before shifting over--when they're in a high guard--that way he ensures they (at least) won't see where the next shot is coming from. And it works tremendously well.
Lomachenko does this a lot
If I were to mimic tactics/techniques, I'd go with Usyk's first before Loma. Though both fighters have INSANE workrate
I love the way Loma does it. He like to triple up in the jabs or even just leaves his lead hand out to cover the it line of site as he scoots off to his right. He's a true wizard
@@ogfostano7794 I did this and the forearm variation in sparring. Worked like a charm. Posting on people's heads though they get pissed off. I'm like bro, it's legal! You can do it too!
@@justashzz oh his badass matador maneuver lmao. Yeah man his ability to move laterally and have the awareness in the ring is ridiculous
I've been trying to learn this technique for some time in sparring, coach you explain so well, I wasn't paying attention to the hip position, it makes sense to use the hip movement to help get the mass into the new position. Much love & respect!
Thanks coach!
I’ve seen Tyson and Loma will sometimes do it twice- in other would shift one direction and then quickly the other direction when the opponent turned to face them. I tried I’m sparring a couple of times and yes pretty hard to pull off.
My favorite thing about this highly detailed and amazing video, is how he specifically focuses on what the opponent is seeing during the exchange. It really puts the whole fight in perspective, whereas I feel that a lot of the technique videos on TH-cam are more focused on only presenting the technique, and at most touching on the opposition only in passing. I also love the emphasis on endurance, cardio, stamina, whatever you want to call it. Longevity is a massive asset. If I had to chose a single attribute, stamina is a hard one to ignore in a real-world setting. Love the video 10/10 keep it up, you are for sure one of the top martial arts instructors on TH-cam right now!
I appreciate that comment a lot!
Thank you for this upload! I’m going to be working on this. I need to work more on my footwork and angles. I been sparring constantly and I’m able to pull these angles off some points at sparring. It is a little difficult and does take conditioning. I’ll be working on these often now. Thank you from New York!
Finally someone explains thoroughly. Usually people's videos are just small bits and pieces of information as if they're afraid to teach someone in a complete manner...they'll teach a move and not explain the reasons or when it's strategically sound to utilize said movement, etc. I'm an amateur boxer and I watch alot of "tutorials" This video is complete and the best explanation I've ever found. Which is why I'm suscribed
1 SAMUEL 12:15 But If ye will not obey the voice of the world LORD but rebel against the commandments of the LORD Then Shall the hand of the Lord be against you as it was against your fathers.
Absolutely amazing channel! Very thorough and detailed to the last step! I love the community and no matter your skill level you feel welcome and not overwhelmed! Strong work and keep up the amazing things you do ! Also where’s the love for the southpaws 😂 🥊.
💯 hey guys get these likes up cause coach be coaching
Very cool your Youtebe Channel thumb is on. Greetings from a German TH-camr
EXCELLENT! You are a gifted coach sir. A lot of people have the knowledge but they dont know how to transfer it. Not you. Thank you. Personally, I had trouble get this move right, for years. I was always too slow. Ridiculously slow!! Somehow, nobody ever told me what you said in 13 minutes. It all makes sense now.
Energy and Stamina for sure, its a big drain. You're constantly moving. Tyson's legs and his conditioning were elite level.
Thank you me living in country(georgia) where people do not teach boxing to people lise us who didnt train since childhood. Your videos are very helpfull
So apparently I’ve been doing this without even knowing what it is
This is a game changer. Thank you so much, not many people can explain foot work in such a easy and effective way.
So I've used it a few times in spar, the movement is generated from your hips same as hip throw, you straiten out and use your bending angle of your hip to slide you to whichever side you want to be on. Also coming right away as you slide with a cross from the side you slide too generates a lot of power and throws off thier response time. Controle those angles!!
Love this coach ❤ , this is actually my boxing style, and I can and want just improve with your video! Thanks coach 🙏
🥊
Love your work sir. You cover such a wide range of style
Tyson being my fav for one that enjoys shadoboxing - a lot 😂
Can you make one for Joe Frazier style ? Thank you ❤️
Bonjour comment vas boxes
It's always crazy watching Tyson hit the switch, his hips and low body move so fast into the switch. Thanks for the video very informative going to drill this on the bag
This man knows what he's talking about -- watch and learn!
Thank you!!
Best examples I’ve seen of this used was Tyson using it on Eddie Richardson Marvin Frazier , and mark young for KO .
Love your technical breakdown , explanation, and so smooth execution on how it should be done!
I tried this shift some times today in a ligth sparring, it didnt work a single time haha, as you said my oponent was very passive and he went for counters, so he was backstepping always.
Dank je well vrijnd! :)
Thanks for this beautiful tutorial, it's very helpful, I do boxing on my own since 3 months and in October I will subscribe to a gym Boxe! 💪😃🥊
I freaken love this dude. Keep them videos coming you're doing an amazing job man👍
Great video.
I don't your hand speed drill late last night ...I destroyed the grass but loved the drill ...calling the numbers very useful but got mixed up between 5 and 6 but I will say at it ...thanks again for taking your time to explain
Tyson practiced this stuff from 13 to 20 like a couple hundred times a week. He perfected it over years with a master coach. Living and breathing boxing for just as long. Unless your naturally extremely athletic and even then it takes a long time to learn to use in a pressure situation.
Everyone should be trying this in training, even beginners, despite it being quite an advanced technique. Even if you're not executing the technique correctly, it will still teach you about angles and get you thinking more about movement and footwork.
"Shifting" doesn't necessarily require side-stepping; You can simplify
these movements by 'Twisting' at the hip---and, or, 'Leaning,' and duck-
ing a little lower, while remaining defensively vigilant. You will recog-
nize this as the, "Bob and Weave," in boxing. But you've got to either
throw one or two punches, or throw a quick 'Feint,' at your opponent,
thereby setting him up for a clean strike.
And it's relatively easy to 'Recover' from this position. You have the
Options of either, back-peddling, to avoid 'his counter---or, you can,
"SLIP," to your left or right, while covering up, in leu of throwing a
hook, which is a logical punch to throw while leaning to the left,
or right of your opponent.
Does that make sense?
Mann you the best I saw the comment/person who requested this video the other day
The shift is normally done while the opponent is throwing a punch and fully committed to moving forward. So your down side analogy is incorrect. They shouldn't be able to change and follow you. If they can you didn't do the shift properly
Thank you so much! Best technical explanation ever. I appreciate it🙏
This is the ultimate boxing book; only without having the book in your hands and reading yourself coach is reading and practicing it nicely.
Nothing comes close, nothing that i know of at least.
Finally! Thanks to you I could understood it. Thanks a lot, you're a very good teacher
It's pretty cool no doubt.....but I think I'll just work on foundational pivoting/shifting.
Thanks for explaining that the Shift takes alot of power and energy. I'm new to boxing, am older and have been frustrated that it looks so easy on video but I feel like I'm doing a hop with a heavy bag attached to me when I do this as it's far from effortless. I just gotta be patient and let it happen.
I think it's helpful for me at least to first slip in the direction that I plan to shift. Also, in sparring I have experimented with throwing the jab off the slip, then immediately switch step to that side. Slip right, with jab thrown at same time, immediately shift right, no hesitation throw a left hook.
This always looks so smooth when I do it in the mirror lol. But when I try to use it in sparring I end up all over the place. Thank you for the great videos.
This video was really useful. Turns out this entire time I was hopping.
Because that didn't work for Mike Tyson lol - ridiculous opinion - angles are everything .... maybe you should spar with Mike and he'll adjust your opinion.

Hello
A'm from Iran But living turkey
Tank you for this apload.
Purposely shifting doesn't really work that well TBH. If you incorporate it into head movement/slip and use it to get into position to counter. Mike slipped the jab, switched and fired back. The Mathis fight he didn't have to as buster just sat there covered up. You can also cover the switch with a short right hand a la GGG.
Excellent teaching
It's a risky tactic. Maybe useful to escape when cornered. Using this tactic. There is possibly to walk into a hook punch. Okay maybe if, trying to slip outside an outstretched hand. I am interested to learn about the peek a boo technique. I heard so much about.
you realy have no idea what you are talking about.....go and study the d'amato shioft properly...cause what you show has nothing in common with it
When D'Mato first usee the shift with Patterson and then Tyson I though I heard him say, and what we observed, had more head movement? Basically the peekaboo style and shift are dependent on each other, especially the side to side peekaboo hip/head movement that creates the momentum and loading phase for the D'Mato shift. Takes pressure off your legs too.
Btw this was an awesome tutorial
Awesome 👌
I want to see you sparr put this content into action hoime yes sir 😉🤷♂️. Please sparr 🤓👊
"Your opponent can read you and see what you're doing"
Ask Tysons opponent how well they read him.
This dont look like the original shift tha t happens seamlessly without an extra step, this move is a Loma sidestep, look at Duran coming forward or GGG or Carl fitzsimmons
Mike tyson would combine this shift with slips, weaves, pivots and max 2-3 punches at a time in between. Another fighter who utilized this shift efficiently was marvin hagler who would switch stances. As a shorter fighter I combined cus' peekaboo style with Marvin's and its an effective way to be able to get in the inside and land punches of my own. But you do have to be really fit and obviously you're still gonna get hit because that's what boxing is but drill it and don't be scared to try it out in sparring
When he worked that angle and threw that uppercut??? 👊🏾👊🏾💫💫💫
I can 'Lead, and 'Counter with either hand. If one can train themselves
to 'Switch sides' like that, you have a bit more of an advantage.
As soon as you switch, you have to pursue and move forward pressing the action or your opponent will be able to readjust and you will have wasted your energy switching.
Il love your vidéo very very,i dont speak ingles,is my big big broblem,i love this video,thank you
you should consider a collab with tony Jeffries as you both do similar styles videos and it would be cool to see
Looks excellent. When i get back home, I will download your whole channel.
I seen lomachenko use this against linares. Superb!
Jason, thank you very much for this great instructional video! I have been practicing the D'Amato Switch for a year now, but I always felt like I wasn't getting it right: now I can improve! :) The pros and cons, and the examples of when to use it / when not to use it are also exceedingly useful. Thanks a lot!
Why do people who stay orthodox or southpaw the entire time call it a shift? If you don't end up in southpaw its not a shift.
Cus D'Amato, the man who trained Iron Mike!
A tall guy fighting a short inside fighter - I would not recommend it
Fight Jake paul
Tyson used to use it on a slip right? He was super close. wouldn't that be a lot more safer and a lot less readable?
Why would he do it like that? The switch only works well with the peek a boo style for shorter fighters.
True about the part that it recquires gr8 immense conditionning n energy !
Amazing work, I uploaded my first sparring footage on my channel, I am far away from executing this, would love your thoughts
Great video how often do you shadowbox do you shadowbox everyday I'm have kids job and other daily life activities can 10 minutes of shadowboxing be enough to maintain good endurance and stamina
l try this but when l hit the bag l feel pain in the right forearm.. con can l do to release that pain?
Excelente como siempre... 👏 👏... Muy bien explicado... Gracias...
Another gem of knowledge!! Thank you JT. I was curious if you had ever done a water workout specifically for boxing? Would be kool to add to your training thanks again buddy☮
I only did some swimming years ago when I needed knee surgery. It was great for stamina and breathing
You’re double talking. About when and how.
What shoes do you use? Is it okay just normal basketball shoes?
That first step to the side is part of your stepping left hook that's how you don't lose that beat
Thanks for the break down!
Awesome insight I'm 5ft 7 innches. And I'm in training for a boxing exhibition fight. And been learning how to get inside. From out of range. The peek a boo style I think will suite me
Before I knew about cus D'Amato and how he trained Mike....I thought of this move. Always just thought a quick switch was common sense.
Ciao Coach 🥊🖐
The boxraw outfit looks good on you mate 👍🏾
I think Mike was little closer to the bag when he uses the dshift.
Tyson's word for it is "the twist."
Mike Tyson & lomachenko did this beautifully 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pure gold. Appreciate it :)
So happy to see u back Coach!! Thanks so much!!!
hey, nice work, what's your recommendation for a home gym boxer punching bag , 120cm-40kg or 150cm-50kg?
I like 40kg but i'm about 165 lbs. If you are heavier you might like the 50kg
Thanks . Great video as usual
You aren’t kidding about that energy expenditure. Integrating more footwork and head movement into my bag training has really made it tougher, and this move is surprisingly exhausting.
Very good breakdown Coach!
Much Needed. 🙏
Thanks for the Great instructions you broke it down so it can be applied correctly 💪
Hello, is that wilde technical joggers u wearing? If it is, may I know what size u using?
yes, these are great! I like to wear a large because I don't want them tight. Normally I'm a medium. I'm 5'7 165
Great explanation of the shift💥. So hard to pull off in real time and glad you covered when it is good to try it. Am I to expect any more live stream workouts on Saturdays? 🤔🤞🏼
Thank you Allison! I'm taking a break for awhile. It was originally a 6 week thing that went for a year lol. I loved it though!
@@PrecisionBoxing totally understand and a big THANK YOU for those! Definitely helped me train through the pandemic. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Cheers! 💪🏼💥
