Marvin not only understands boxing, he also understands the mechanics of the mind. The nature of the human being. I can tell he examines his thoughts and watches carefully. A strong mind. I'd call this man the Philosopher Boxer. Truly one of the greatest coaches on youtube.
Thanks for letting the world understand that boxing is a true science, like Kung Fu and other martial arts. Not every boxer even knows this, so you wind up being a light in the dark. Good teach.
i have been training boxing for over 17 years. I have allways been a Bruce Lee fan because of hes "mindness" of the martial arts. This gives me "kinda" the same feeling.
Boxing is an extremely powerful sport, supported by science. Quite possibly the most effective and accessible combat sport in the world. But don't mistake it for a martial art! It is terribly limited and restrictive compared to a martial art. No grappling, no kicks, no sweeping, no chokes, no joint braking locks, a lot of "no's". Most people training in gyms and competing in competitions, even MMA are playing martial arts sports, but not actual martial arts. In sports there's things in place to offer the practitioner safety, there's regulations, banned techniques, techniques which are not even taught, incomplete techniques (karate, ju-jitsu; in the actual martial art, you don't wait for your opponent to tap out, you actually perform the finishing move ie kata, you actually break his joints, you actually choke him out etc), there's organized events with weight and skill categories as well as gender segregation, there's age categories and limits, there's combat time limits, there's referees, comitees, medical staff, warm up times, break times, water times etc. In actual martial arts there's none of that. "Martial arts" literally translates into "Art of War", or more specifically "Arts of Mars", Mars being the God of war in ancient Roman mythology and religion. Therefore, in actual martial arts, the war arts, anything goes, regardless of gender, age, skill, weight etc. Martial arts are structured into various systems depending on geography and culture, but and actual martial artist has no limitations besides the level of his assets, his preparation, his intelingence etc. An actual martial artist is ready to "win" a fight at any time in his daily life. Because in martial arts the fight is on at any giving moment of daily life. And "winning" is surviving regardless of who is the attacker and how many they may be. A martial arts fight lasts seconds and not rounds. So let's not mistake boxing and mma or other combat sports derived from martial arts with actual martial arts. Btw Kung Fu literally means Martial Arts. That being said, the sport of MMA is the closest sporting format you can get to actual martial arts.
Maaaahn! I took this one theory and it applied it to my Muay Thai sparring and improved my hit to miss ratio by like 30%. Incredible coaching! Dude needs to get back on the TH-cams!
I only made this channel about three nights ago........ Me and Marvin Cook decided that making this would be good....... me cause i had all the video section,s prepared already, and Marvin because he felt it a usefull tool to help people learn........he is hoping people understand it tho lol.
Marvin nice... Another important reason to provide angles, especially when someone in firing off down the line (aggressive), is because it forces them to reset their position. Resetting their position buys you an opening for a counter.
You just taught how to use the jab stay in your stance plus how to deal with aggressive and how to take an opponent when he is hurt or off balance in one video you are great coach. This is my first time watching your videos💯
god man u r so good. im mostly a k1 fighter i box too though i live in greece most of our trainers got no idea of the science behind boxing.i learnt a part of that sciense via internet coaches and im so glad i found out 1more trainer that'll make me the best !i really appreciate it thanks
Mr. Cook, your videos are very informative. I am an eskrimador, Filipino Martial Arts user and I really appreciate how your methods and applications are complimenting my own martial arts prowess. Striking is the essence of eskrima. Your discussions on balance are so key and fundamental. I wish I could train with you or someone like you some day.
yo coach marvin, you're a great teacher. u picked up this sport to the point where you we're able to teach it , and teach it good . appreciate your content. keep it up coach 🏆
This is the 2nd one of your videos I've seen. I have to tell you that I think they're great. This is exactly what students need, besides sparring time, experience broken down and articulated openly. My old fencing instructor used to do this. As we were learning something new he would lecture on the direction of cuts and thrusts, angles of deflection, maintaining our center etc. It's the basics that to the inexperienced seem boring, but to the experienced these basics keep them winning.
Great video. All your videos I've watched have been amazing. You are a great teacher and do an excellent job of breaking things down and not only showing HOW to do something a certain way but also why it is done that way. I'm a basketball coach and can respect it. Keep up the great work and thanks for passing on and keeping the sweet science alive and strong.
@TrueBoxerStance I understand it very well! Keeping ur rifle on ur target is a very good analogy. Every time I attempt a quarter turn I always feel like I'm in an awkward position, but I feel this analogy can fix that. Tell the man I said thank you for breaking the science down!
Bruce Lee was speaking the truth. Take everything that is useful (from many martial arts and disciplines) and adapt them into yourself and use them together and discard what is useless. Boxing is a martial art without a doubt.
Lol fr bro. Kids these days see flashy moves on tv & want to immitate them but dont know the equations & order of operations to apply them into the fight.
TRUE BOXER STANCE as Taught by my Friend Marvin Tyrone Cook in America at CSW Combat Submission Wrestling, 4080 N Palm St # 801, Fullerton, CA. Tel: 714-675-4666..... is Boxing the origianal way it was sopposed to be done.... a smart Boxer,s game of Chess. Marvin still teach,s in California, if you wish to learn from the man himself. My name is Kyle Kal-el Sands . and i made this channel with the permision of my friend Marvin Cook.... Marvin felt it would be a Good sauce of information
He speaks the truth. Idiots like me will give up on defense after we lose our eyesight from being punched 100 times. We will just wait until we have a fist in our face to throw out the hardest punch and funny enough even if the better boxer landed 100 punches all it takes is an idiot with a properly timed punch to end that match.
I would like to found out how to defend against someone who bull rushes during a fight. I experience that before. Good video still. Getting some good information from this
Im teaching my 3 boys 16, 11 & 10 the things im learning from these vids... Their in the gym now & if anybody tells them something wrong ill bust 1 of these vids out on em!!😎
I’ve been understanding this concept but haven’t been able to apply it and you’ve put it so well.. can you checkout some of my Striking videos and comment?
I would like to be in his classes he seems like a good coach when i boxed i learned from an old timer but he didnt do much explaining it was more like go spar and learn lol
How did the muay thai go? Are you familiar with savate? It's basically kickboxing but they use a lot of boxing footwork it's really beautiful to watch. They're able to be light on their fight while getting there shots off unlike most muay thai fighters that are flat footed. Not saying one is better than the other of course.
Opening are not at the centerline there are around left side and around right side of you opponent moving in angles are very effective and can be unorthodox
i know this is an old video, but understand this class he is teaching is like a quick tutorial. Real boxing gym starts with you in front of a mirror doing foot work exercises only. you wouldn't the radius as he calls it much later. I think he skips right in because this is an mma class and they are just learning to take what they want from it.
Marvin not only understands boxing, he also understands the mechanics of the mind. The nature of the human being. I can tell he examines his thoughts and watches carefully. A strong mind.
I'd call this man the Philosopher Boxer. Truly one of the greatest coaches on youtube.
Damn this guy knows how to explain the art of boxing in a way that makes you say that "Bingo I get it now". Thanks sir.
I just consider myself extremely lucky to find this man. Thank you coach
Thanks for letting the world understand that boxing is a true science, like Kung Fu and other martial arts. Not every boxer even knows this, so you wind up being a light in the dark. Good teach.
Greg 100%agree
My guy MMA is a true science its just more variables

Does He have his own channel? Or some social media account?
😭 Your work is beautiful
I'm glad you convinced him to stay and get in front of the camera. He is a tremendous teacher!
The rifle analogy was great. These are valuable videos you are putting out. Thank you for them!
This guy is one of the best teachers I've ever seen.
Thanks internet coach
Never heard a coach like this man. My boxing improved a lot. Thank you so much!
Marvin nice... Another important reason to provide angles, especially when someone in firing off down the line (aggressive), is because it forces them to reset their position. Resetting their position buys you an opening for a counter.
Suppose to spar my friends tmrw I was practicing your true foot work .. most important thing I've ever learned in my life
"Keep your rifle on your opponent" Awesome!
Thank you, Marvin Cook! These videos are very eye-opening to things I've been doing wrong. You da man!
You just taught how to use the jab stay in your stance plus how to deal with aggressive and how to take an opponent when he is hurt or off balance in one video you are great coach. This is my first time watching your videos💯
god man u r so good. im mostly a k1 fighter i box too though i live in greece most of our trainers got no idea of the science behind boxing.i learnt a part of that sciense via internet coaches and im so glad i found out 1more trainer that'll make me the best !i really appreciate it thanks

There is nothing here but gold, support Marvin on his Patreon

4:30 Marvin walked right into that shot lol
yo coach marvin, you're a great teacher. u picked up this sport to the point where you we're able to teach it , and teach it good . appreciate your content. keep it up coach 🏆
SOME OF THOSE KIDS DONT KNOW THEY ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF A LEGEND ! V Lucky
great teacher! Truly interested and very passionate about what he is teaching. That's the right way to teach.

uncleouch1 fencing is for pussies like you
Nice. I really enjoyed learning from this and look forward to following its applications to effectively perfect its true nature. Thanks Marvin
Great video. All your videos I've watched have been amazing.

I'm a basketball coach and can respect it. Keep up the great work and thanks for passing on and keeping the sweet science alive and strong.
This guy knows what he’s talking about
This guy is a great teacher
Watching old Tyson films, you see this all the way through.
@TrueBoxerStance I understand it very well! Keeping ur rifle on ur target is a very good analogy. Every time I attempt a quarter turn I always feel like I'm in an awkward position, but I feel this analogy can fix that. Tell the man I said thank you for breaking the science down!
Man this guy is a genius coach
Bruce Lee was speaking the truth. Take everything that is useful (from many martial arts and disciplines) and adapt them into yourself and use them together and discard what is useless. Boxing is a martial art without a doubt.
I was JUST telling my kids mom a lot of this stuff the other day, this is crazy. Dude get down a lot like me, or vice versa lol
He explains it well and what he explains actually makes sense...
I need a boxing coach like you.
Thank you for making such videos and sharing your knowledge .
"i have to stop his aggression- when he comes forward, i go in a circular motion" yes! yes! thank you Mr. Cook
That space that he's disrupting, Bruce Lee, called no man's land. And that's exactly what it is.
Damn this was a really informative and detailed breakdown, W video
Excellent material. An overhead camera view would help see the radius better.
Great videos. Very accurate keep the coming
Can this dude be my coach?? Honestly very detailed answers and examples.
Boxing seems so similar to dancing. Understanding movement and choreography.
The strictness about the stance very much remind me the Soviet school
Good advice Marvin, you can't get that knowledge for free anywhere else
Millions of likes
Lots of precious taughts
Wow I finally got my head around this thank you🙏
At the time of watching this there are 651 likes (soon to be 652) and 2 dislikes... I don't know who these two guys are but god help them in the ring.

Learned more in 10 minutes than in 10 years of watching boxing.
Very intelligent explanation 👌
This is an old video so I dunno if he’s looking at it but still.
Thanks Marvin cook this is a really well explained and useful concept
shouldnt even be allowed to learn boxing without watching this video 💯
You are an incredible teacher.
Well said! I hope you continue to make these videos!

Mnn he needs to come back with more lesson , now that's a real coach

This man is waaaay too underated
2:21 yes the openings are on the side
This is game changing for me
I would like to found out how to defend against someone who bull rushes during a fight. I experience that before. Good video still. Getting some good information from this
This is very good instruction Like Cassius Clay told Custa when told about dropping his hands, My feet are my defense, but my hands are my offence
Thx for the vids. Should you be moving away from the opponent's power hand? Any chances to upload HD vids?
You can , practice a counter for power hand if you step that side!!! Or block
You're the PERFECT BALANCER
Give a like for the camerman for giving us great angles to really see the technique!
Im teaching my 3 boys 16, 11 & 10 the things im learning from these vids... Their in the gym now & if anybody tells them something wrong ill bust 1 of these vids out on em!!😎
Damn, I want to be at that gym being coached by you
Mike Tyson did the same thing. He had good balance and would attack from the sides too as you are showing. Thank you.
Marvin great stuff!
You're amazing thank you so much for the content!
Great video
best coach nice videos
We need more Marvin please.
I’ve been understanding this concept but haven’t been able to apply it and you’ve put it so well.. can you checkout some of my Striking videos and comment?
I love his lessons!
Great Teacher....
I'd love if you posted more!
I would like to be in his classes he seems like a good coach when i boxed i learned from an old timer but he didnt do much explaining it was more like go spar and learn lol
Realist teacher
The best stuff is always common sense 100% of the time.
Trying to integrate this into muay thai wish me luck😂😂
How did the muay thai go? Are you familiar with savate? It's basically kickboxing but they use a lot of boxing footwork it's really beautiful to watch. They're able to be light on their fight while getting there shots off unlike most muay thai fighters that are flat footed. Not saying one is better than the other of course.
Anyone who gave this a thumbs down doesn’t know anything about distance and footwork or boxing.
2a guy my dude love it man
good vids keep it up
good day Thanks for letting me understand
Damn good coaching
great teacher.
can you tell how you handle Muay Thai legs use when it comes to self defense in Street fighting Sir ?
Pure brilliance
2:29 true fighting over opponents offense
wow... i learned so much !! thank you !
Opening are not at the centerline there are around left side and around right side of you opponent moving in angles are very effective and can be unorthodox
Great instruction ! Just subscribed to ya :) thankyou !
i know this is an old video, but understand this class he is teaching is like a quick tutorial.

I think he skips right in because this is an mma class and they are just learning to take what they want from it.
Nice
R.i.p for the 22 dislikes :( (Best Coach Keep it going)
brilliant. the should be the go to boxing coach for the lousy, lousy, lousy, strikers in the Emma
mma.
👌👌👌👌👌👌
So should you bait out an aggressive fighter by taking a step back first, THEN turn to the side? Or just turn from the jump?
