Can we get Jack Johnson video??? He might not be the best boxer from a technical standpoint (although he was fucking amazing) but his story is easily the most inspiring.
I kinda prefer the peekaboo style, because I'm an infighter. I don't enjoy outboxing like Muhammad Ali , I tried hopping and circling around the ring , it was really taxing on the body. The peekaboo style feels more grounded , but you also feel "springy" at the same time. The next thing I love about this style is the head movements, it's just what a fighter needs to master, how to avoid and slip punches.
A good fighter learns to master every style and gets into condition that you shouldn't get tired by anything you've mastered so long as your body has gotten used to the movement. If you can't bounce around the ring you aren't jumping rope, running, or shadow boxing enough and that means you will lose against anyone who does
@@TheMatrixofMeaningthis is really true, I used the classic 50/50 style the first two years of my boxing time, then I found myself more comfortable with that peekaboo/canelo style, that experience i got from those two years definitely helps with my boxing knowledge in how to counter these styles.
@@TheGman559 yooo I'm in the same boat. I'm 5'8 20 171 and been training like Tyson and Ali since I was 5. I want to find Mr Hadley so I can learn how to fight professionally
The peekaboo is a very challenging style to learn. Harder then the traditional boxing style. Definitely a young man's style in my opinion. Watch out for a light heavyweight called Alvin Vermall jnr. Fights the peekaboo and trains out of catskill. He's move very much like Tyson and is undefeated.
Yes, Alvin Vermall looks like a very good prospect. Just watched a very good fight of him vs "Antonio Mignella" and it was a great short contest, almost as if there heads were glued to each other.
A great video I was sparring with someone that fights similarly to this style. They are tough to go toe to toe! Thanks for the video Joey Hadley and The Modern Martial Artist!
1$t Too bad he died at the peak of iron Mike's career. He was not only a father figure to mike but his emotional stabilizer as well. Mike should have achieved more if d'amato livef longer.
@I'll figure it out i think d'amato and rooney were the best trainers for him. I do think his style is a young mans style though. You have to be in supreme condition to fight like that. You always risk the possibility of burning out. Tyson would fight in spurts like sprints. If he were more laid back and simple like Larry Holmes he would have had more success as he got older. But then again he doesnt have the build for that. Peekaboo style is awesome but you need to be in great condition.
I find it was easier on your back to have a bladed stance. I'm southpaw and slip punches all day. Bobbing straight up and down and the hop to the outside are my favourite parts of peek a boo and they work so well
I'll be sure to check out Joey's other breakdowns. Thanks for posting this dude. As someone else below mentioned, a video on the crossed arms guard would really help me right now. I think with my body type and mentality I can make it work for me but other than studying tape on guys like Foreman, I'm having trouble making progress with it's mechanics. Cheers!
Thank you coach. I've been practicing the peek a boo style throughout last year together with my outfighting style like mma or Muhammad ali's sting like a bee. And this month, it was the first time I've thoroughly used it, and I can really tell that it intimidated my opponent and surely blew him off due to how aggressive the punches a peek a boo style needed it to be. Every time punches comes right at me, a straight or hook always took turn with a slip throughout his face and body. Though I cannot tell that I mastered peek a boo style since jabs still touches my face usually when I slip, I'd like to thank you for this video and is an honor to me. Im excited to relearn and go back to the basics of this technique.
Im small fast and explosive. I tried peek aboo boxing last wednesday at the gym against two taller opponents i drilled it alittle at home over 2 weeks. It worked very well they did not like it lol. I got right in there space fast and easy.
I love your videos. I called you about footwork of the peekaboo stance weather it was 45 or 90 degree on the backfoot. Thanks for answering my question. Also when Tyson would bob down he come back up with a U staped weave! I think that would be a great video!! To explain that aspect of Cus D'Amato head movement! Thanks again for answering my last question! It was a importent question to me and helped my Boxing!
A big thank you to Joey and Nick for making this helpful video. Joey is legit, you can check out some of his fights here: th-cam.com/video/4JedowkZXaI/w-d-xo.html
I have watched many vids on PEEK-A-BOO and read SAM NESS/JACK DEMPSEY books on FALLING STEP-SLIPPING but this video is excellent and helps me so much in my shadow boxing... I learned many things about PEEK-A-BOO but this excellent video GIVES ME MISSING STEPS FOR MY FOUNDATION AND WELL EXPLAINED -thank you -I will read the rest of your library
Does this style work best for a particular body type? Would it work better for someone short and fast like Tyson vs someone tall and rangy like Hearns?
That PEEKABOO Hitting of the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from.. KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT and BEND YOUR KNEES as you WEAVE side to side, don't lean forwards as you weave, because the opponent will put his weight on the back of your head and back to push and hold you down. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. DON'T PULL STRAIGHT BACK, because the punches are still coming at you... if you lean backwards, you will get steamrolled, railroaded over... so instead move side to side, slipping, dipping, weaving punches and using TWIST's, SPRINGS's footwork to angle off/around to the sides of the opponents weak area's where you can hit him and he cannot hit you back. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :)
The difference between Mike Tyson n GGG peekaboo is Mike will slip to left or right or dodge n throw body shot or uppercut or hook, but GGG will not slip punches, he kept coming forward n let his opponents hit him then throw over hook.
You do know there's another guy that Cus trained beside Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson. I mean he's not worth mentioning cause' he's kind of a nobody in the heavyweight division, but just for the sake of it, I think his name is Dyke Myson, or Mike Byson or something like that I believe. I'm sure you never heard of him. He was a sweetheart in the ring, never wanted to hit you, that was his problem.
Please someone Ok in this style the right hand the #2 punch The shoulder is square when this punch is thrown? Conventional style ur hips are turned, the #2 is delivered with both shouler movment as its ur BACK hand, and a pivot, i imagine yes still the pivot How do we make the #2 right hand NOT an "arm punch"? Someone help a brother out here
Shoot the jab from the hip also triple the jab stay on the go use fants different looks and hand jesters force the peek a boo fighter to lounge out to be counted thats how you deal with the peek a boo
Robert Battle peek a boo is not to lounge out.. it's tight defensive style counter style. Come forward use the jab and slip and counter. The only lounge you we'll get is a amateur fighter.
The fighters who use this style are almost all short and they bend their body a bit forward, so it becomes very hard for their opponent to hit a body shot.
Taner Yaşadır, Yep all the greats who used this style had a similar body-build. If you are 6'6" this style is not for you. Your style should match your natural gifts.
Squared stance.... does that mean no difference between a jab and a cross? It's kind of what I see from the way he punched the bag. Just want to know for sure. Thanks
There is a difference, the problem with the video is that they're doing it both wrong (Joey Hadley being too old to teach this probably forgot a lot of stuff, and the other guy is just an uncoordinated mess + inadequate teaching). I never see peek-a-boo fighters punch or move like this. Try checking out Master Boxing youtube channel for a better demonstration, their peek-a-boo material is fantastic, even just their free content.
you cant see the legs, but squared up means your legs hips and body are pointing forward and you present your body's hitbox like a square. The usual boxing stance is angled diagonally where half the body is further from the oponent, giving smaller hitbox. But you still have a lead foot for both stances so jab and cross are still different. Theoretically for peekaboo's stance, you want it squared coz you want to slip, move forward and close the gap as much as possible to fight inside and do the d'amato shift. It's designed for a compact body, short limb fighters like tyson who fights taller people. You get outranged so you have to be aggresive and get in closer using the peekabo syle. This video however used peekabo without going inside, no aggression at all, which is why it looks very awkward coz he was outboxing instead of infighting. If you arent going inside it's better to use the normal stance.
b xx after my coach saw me fighting against people with this style he didn’t question it. He knew it worked for me and I didn’t need to consult him about it either
I never cared for that style. I faced it once in the 70's and it was easy. He slips to his right from my jab the i throw a right hook where i missed the jab and he rocked back right into it it. Same when i threw a right except a left hook and he rocked right into it.
Louis Becke yes, it's happened several times when sparring. The experienced guys start to dile my movements. Have to keep it beat-offbeat and mix with foot movement. When I do I don't get hit as often.... until I start I gassing out :(
Alright; please keep your back STRAIGHT when slipping. The slip comes from the hips and legs. Do NOT bend your upper back to the side like a bobble head. A lot of the peekaboo guys have had back injuries; sometimes career ending (Tyson, Patterson, Atlas, Rooney....). The style is great and I am not knocking the info in this video but this is one thing that needs to be corrected otherwise its just a matter of time before your injure yourself.
I think there´s a reason. When trying out some slips in a squared up stance i noticed keeping my hips kind of rigid and leaning a bit i can regain posture a bit quicker after a slip, but when I´m more bladed i need to bend my legs to keep my balance on top of my hips. It might just be I have bad slipping technique but it feels a bit more natural to kind of lean while squared up instead of "folding up" to slip like when in a regular boxing stance.
Joey has a lot more amazing breakdowns on his channel here: th-cam.com/channels/Ng4DbEiJ8kwNshRQRg3eIQ.html

HAHAHHAH Hadley still got it. I wasnt expecting him to blast the dudes guard with a right hand. Good stuff.
Donovan Chilton Lol! That had me cracking up! With an old dude throwing punches like that at you no doubt your head movement will improve!

I agree on young mans style. It doesn't age well. The amount of body movement really drains you.
Let's talk Boxing I'm 19 and find it challenging. Then again I'm really long and tall. It's a short man's style as well
Tre' Roney I agree, I'm 5'10 and its a style I'd rather use compared to traditional style.
Srpska ISTINITA Istorija 6'1, 140-155 pounds
Yes, Alvin Vermall looks like a very good prospect. Just watched a very good fight of him vs "Antonio Mignella" and it was a great short contest, almost as if there heads were glued to each other.
This man is the only legit peek-a-boo teacher on TH-cam.
The rest just sway (using the wrong technique) side to side and think they are peekaboo-ing.

ALL DAY in what world is GGG peek-a-boo
xD he kept his gloves on his face without slipping punches instead he let his opponents punch him like punches bag.
ALL DAY Yeah Tyson has way more head movement and he hits way harder
ALL DAY Lmao exactly he is like a statue until he uses his jabs
That is frickin cool !
Great vid 😁
This is good tips. Next time I be ready when I fight my wife
Pretty awesome ✊
I heard Cus' fighters always had short careers because of the strain on their back. I wonder if that's something Hadley had to contend with.
armand bly Yeah. From a bladed stance you can use your knees to break at the waist. When you're squared up it's all lower back.
Maybe they were just the wrong candidates for boxing.. Frazier has similar movement and fought greats
naw, he had an eye problem--retire or go blind. his amateur record was nuts. crazy KO ratio for amateurs.
TheSludgeMan Tyson didn't seem to have a short career...
@@scripts4473 his peak abilities declined once Rooney was gone
awesome cheers
Mr..Hadley, do you have one of ur sweAtshirts for sale? Id like to buy one or 2
You do know there's another guy that Cus trained beside Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson. I mean he's not worth mentioning cause' he's kind of a nobody in the heavyweight division, but just for the sake of it, I think his name is Dyke Myson, or Mike Byson or something like that I believe. I'm sure you never heard of him. He was a sweetheart in the ring, never wanted to hit you, that was his problem.
Seems The Character Balrog from Street Fighter II uses the "Peek-A-Boo" as his fighting stance/Block animation.
Heavy D! from The King of Fighters 98 has a better depiction of this style.
This style is even better for street boxing (fighting).
Please someone
Ok in this style the right hand the #2 punch
The shoulder is square when this punch is thrown?
Conventional style ur hips are turned, the #2 is delivered with both shouler movment as its ur BACK hand, and a pivot, i imagine yes still the pivot
How do we make the #2 right hand NOT an "arm punch"?
Someone help a brother out here
Nice 💪💪🤝
1:31 - 1:32... subtitles better be playing games...😂😂
the spanish style of neopliant fencing
how come no more videos? Thanks
Me personally i like to move side to side like Mike Tyson, but move up and down like Joe Frazer
Joe frazier didnt even bob and weave correctly
Im curious, what is the solution if the opponents track the head (like liston vs patterson or lewis v tyson)?
Shoot the jab from the hip also triple the jab stay on the go use fants different looks and hand jesters force the peek a boo fighter to lounge out to be counted thats how you deal with the peek a boo
Robert Battle peek a boo is not to lounge out.. it's tight defensive style counter style. Come forward use the jab and slip and counter. The only lounge you we'll get is a amateur fighter.
CUSS DAMATO WAS THE BEST FOR MIKE TYSON
That's not exactly how mike do it he hold his hands sideways by the jaw not in front of his face
Hadley didn't give a fuck he seems pretty cool
nice
How would u Dodge or slip a jab to the body in between ur arms to the solarplexs?
Wills Family u block it
You catch the punches to the body on your forearms and slip the ones to your head.
The fighters who use this style are almost all short and they bend their body a bit forward, so it becomes very hard for their opponent to hit a body shot.
Taner Yaşadır,
Yep all the greats who used this style had a similar body-build. If you are 6'6" this style is not for you. Your style should match your natural gifts.
IskurBlast were living in an era were fighters now are changing styles during fights as far switching stances
Squared stance.... does that mean no difference between a jab and a cross? It's kind of what I see from the way he punched the bag. Just want to know for sure. Thanks
There is a difference, the problem with the video is that they're doing it both wrong (Joey Hadley being too old to teach this probably forgot a lot of stuff, and the other guy is just an uncoordinated mess + inadequate teaching).
I never see peek-a-boo fighters punch or move like this. Try checking out Master Boxing youtube channel for a better demonstration, their peek-a-boo material is fantastic, even just their free content.
you cant see the legs, but squared up means your legs hips and body are pointing forward and you present your body's hitbox like a square. The usual boxing stance is angled diagonally where half the body is further from the oponent, giving smaller hitbox. But you still have a lead foot for both stances so jab and cross are still different.
Theoretically for peekaboo's stance, you want it squared coz you want to slip, move forward and close the gap as much as possible to fight inside and do the d'amato shift. It's designed for a compact body, short limb fighters like tyson who fights taller people. You get outranged so you have to be aggresive and get in closer using the peekabo syle.
This video however used peekabo without going inside, no aggression at all, which is why it looks very awkward coz he was outboxing instead of infighting. If you arent going inside it's better to use the normal stance.
How do I tell my coach I want to adapt to this style? I’ve already been on it for months(2)
b xx after my coach saw me fighting against people with this style he didn’t question it. He knew it worked for me and I didn’t need to consult him about it either
Can I change from right hander to south paw with peaksboo style?
Mike Tyson mastered that style
I never cared for that style. I faced it once in the 70's and it was easy. He slips to his right from my jab the i throw a right hook where i missed the jab and he rocked back right into it it. Same when i threw a right except a left hook and he rocked right into it.
Louis Becke yes, it's happened several times when sparring. The experienced guys start to dile my movements. Have to keep it beat-offbeat and mix with foot movement. When I do I don't get hit as often.... until I start I gassing out :(

KNOWLEDGE
Alright; please keep your back STRAIGHT when slipping. The slip comes from the hips and legs. Do NOT bend your upper back to the side like a bobble head.
A lot of the peekaboo guys have had back injuries; sometimes career ending (Tyson, Patterson, Atlas, Rooney....).
The style is great and I am not knocking the info in this video but this is one thing that needs to be corrected otherwise its just a matter of time before your injure yourself.
It looks like your uke doesn't bend his knees when he slips left or right, putting his upper torso off-balance. Is their a strategic reason for this?
I think there´s a reason. When trying out some slips in a squared up stance i noticed keeping my hips kind of rigid and leaning a bit i can regain posture a bit quicker after a slip, but when I´m more bladed i need to bend my legs to keep my balance on top of my hips. It might just be I have bad slipping technique but it feels a bit more natural to kind of lean while squared up instead of "folding up" to slip like when in a regular boxing stance.
Would it reduce the power of your punches when you're squared up?
Edemile Umipig in a bladed stance your rear hand usually has more power. But going square gives you pretty much equal power in both hands
It is nice style
Love it
