I literally learned something from this video that I never learned during my 15 years of doing boxing on an amateur level, and that is how to change the stance for power for an uppercut by squaring up as he did. Just by trying it once, I noticed I generated ton more power
Finally a video about square stance. Far too many videos about staggered/ boxing stance. During my study and training i have come to realise the importance of both stances. You will never know what position you will end up during a fight.
Fran - There are very few trainers that can hit the bag with the power and precision you have shown. Thanks for demonstrating that you do practice what you preach!
These tips are so solid. I have only been boxing a short time but have used my boxing coach almost exclusively in my development. I have a coach at the gym I go to, on Mondays and Saturday, but continue to employee Fran’s lessons and drills during the weekdays. My local coach has been impressed with my improvement in such a short time..he has never once contradicted any of the new tactics. I have surprised his quite a few times while sparring and have heard “where did you learn that”?? Often. Fran is as good as they get...so yourself a favor and watch his “5 favorite online boxing channels” all are great. But I’m sticking with Fran!
The conventional boxing stance provides greater mobility in all directions but especially in forward and rearward in and out actions. The more squared stance is favored by mma practitioners and self protection combatives exponents because it's more conducive to combat without parameters of allowable technique and therefore is appropriate for grappling as well as striking. The more squared stance is more limited in forward and rearward positional motion but can be conducive to circular and lateral footwork driven body positional motion.
Hey Coach! Thanks for making this video! Boxer of about 2 weeks now, and I started my journey with your videos. Before seeing this one, switching my stance and having it squared up close felt pretty intuitive. Glad I wasn't wrong by doing this!
When I started boxing, the trainers are always correcting my stance because I use this squared stance. But, since I am a beginner, I followed their instructions. But then the owner of the gym arrived and became my coach, he was only one that made me do this stance. I was very thankful because my punches became more powerful. It's kinda disappointing that most trainers think of this squared stance as a 'beginner mistake' or something like that.
I've commented on some of your other videos the differences in my experience in Taekwondo, and your experience in boxing. In this video, your footwork looks a lot more like what I'm used to for the traditional Taekwondo footwork. Wider stances, using steps to switch lead sides, and using the motion of the step to apply acceleration into the punch. This is what I love about using the internet to discuss martial arts. You get to see the differences between your art and another, and appreciate the passion and work that goes into each. But you also get to appreciate the similarities and find the common ground between you. Your videos are excellent. I've been binge-watching them all week since someone pointed me to your channel. Keep up the great work!
I hope you use the bag more in your demonstrations! It helps so much with it being put in practise. Your my favourite online coach by a mile. Thanks for all your content it’s priceless
Mobility isn't sacrificed when squaring up if you become more Lateral with your (head and footwork) movement instead. Squaring up is the best stand for said Lateral (head and footwork) movement.
Dustin Porier does this often in an mma setting also sacrificing mobility squaring his hips risking Possible take downs ... However he pressures in close and switches seemless throwing combinations overwhelming his opponents with power punches Great video was just explaining this to someone
From an ex-MMA fighter pit fighting ....orthodox stance snap 2-3 jabs making him circle to my right, Muy Thai leg kick the closest leg of the opponent, land in south paw stance 2 right hand jabs then the left straight down the pipe.
Thats really effective Fran. Thank you for sharing. It seems were a bit slow here to adopt switch techniques unlike the Eastern European and South American countries. It makes such good sense.
Fran you are an absolute animal bro. What great technique. Much respect brother. Would love to train privately with you one day . Would be an absolute honor
Thanks Steve. It's not a hard and fast rule, it's an option for versatility. It also makes sense to stay in a side on stance...variety is the spice of life as they say👍
Really nice video, but I have the doubt about you said not square up in long distance but Tyson had a square stance... and he came to the opponents since long range square up. Pls I would like that you explained
Frederick Gill by square do you mean tucked in close to your body? I usually have one glove on and the other off. The one that’s off I tuck that one in between my body and elbow, and start throwing with the hand with the glove on. To exercise my mind to keep my opposite hand up, and tucked up close to my body. If you lift your elbow up when swinging the glove will fall out. Hope this is useful.
Greetings Mr sands it seems to me that would work better sillping and rolling as welk as shifting. Since shifting was done in competitive boxing in America until the 1950s although maywether did it as well as many pacwal. But thanks for the videos and God speed
This is the best boxing channel on TH-cam.
the OG channel too, I like ricky funez channel too.
@@elbosshogg4179 Funez sucks.
Anthony too
Strongly agree
Consistently excellent.

Thank you. That's really kind. I'm very happy that you are able to apply this stuff and make it work for you, very cool.
Fran ur the man! Love ur precise style. Uve Taught me alot.

How hard did you work to say exactly what Fran said but to make it seem like you are some kind of combat scientist?

Indeed bro I was looking in the comments to see if this comment would be here and you hit it right on the head bro
Explains it all in detail and in shortest time possible great advice techniques without making the video too short or too long
Fran I’ve been watching your videos for a while now I have upped my game technically also strategically! Keep you the great work! Love it!
You're the only boxing coach on TH-cam that has picked up on this.
You always impress. Well done.
Michael Mckenna you gotta source ? A video ? I’d love to see it.
I was just teaching this the other day! Mike Tyson is a great example of a fighter who put this into practice
Tyson had unreal Lateral movement though
I missed your videos coach !
Dustin Porier does this often in an mma setting also sacrificing mobility squaring his hips risking Possible take downs ... However he pressures in close and switches seemless throwing combinations overwhelming his opponents with power punches
Great video was just explaining this to someone
It’s very much a Muay Thai stance.
Your transition in your stance delivers some hard blows!!! I love it!!!!! Thank you now I can add that to my knowledge.
Very good idea to work with, many instructors around here don´t teach this.
I notice how you pivot your legs, seems a lot of the power comes from the legs. Both Tyson and Tua threw power punches like that.
Everything comes from the legs.
Anti Schocken no the hips
Anti Schocken both really, pivoting helps with turning the hips
Fran your videos have helped me out alot with my training keep up the good work brother
Ever since i stumbled upon your channel....I have improved a lot for sparring sessions.
Wow you look excellent on the bag fran really impressed!
From an ex-MMA fighter pit fighting ....orthodox stance snap 2-3 jabs making him circle to my right, Muy Thai leg kick the closest leg of the opponent, land in south paw stance 2 right hand jabs then the left straight down the pipe.

@@myboxingcoach Thank you man! We don't have a boxing gym in my town so your lessons help out a lot.
Fran is a first class trainer very useful love your tutorials i wish i was his student
How can you slip and roll in the squared stance? Can you make a video?
Cok güzel tessekür ederim
Beautiful! Thanks!
Great Bag Work Coach!!!

Thank you so much for your videos... i have learned alot from you.and i became much better
You're welcome Vik...thanks for your comment
Awesome. Thanks Coach
Nice bag work brother! 👊
Great stuff as always! I learned this way back from one of Bruce Lee's Fighting Method books.
I miss watching these videos!😎😎😎
Thats really effective Fran. Thank you for sharing. It seems were a bit slow here to adopt switch techniques unlike the Eastern European and South American countries. It makes such good sense.
Great explanation and demonstration, coach! Thank you!
Impressive bag work sir! Beautiful technique, nice to watch. Thank you for the information you share with us!
Great technique coach
thaks man your video helps a lot
Fran you are an absolute animal bro. What great technique. Much respect brother. Would love to train privately with you one day . Would be an absolute honor
Archie Moore, Frazier, Tyson,Patterson,norton etc etc etc...
Thanks man
Still got it!
Another awesome video fran 🥊🔥
Thanks Cal👍
How about to switch stance during the punch? turning torso naturaly..
Yep, that works
Great video, thank you. Should I be in a squared stance when fighting in close range?
Thanks Steve. It's not a hard and fast rule, it's an option for versatility. It also makes sense to stay in a side on stance...variety is the spice of life as they say👍
That bag will feel the pain for days... 😣
This is very much how Muay Thai fighters in Thailand fight. Everything is geared to maximizing power and staying in range.
Really nice video, but I have the doubt about you said not square up in long distance but Tyson had a square stance... and he came to the opponents since long range square up. Pls I would like that you explained
Really Good job coach! Thank you!
But when to square as it is sounding like to square up when you are tired or when you have to use more power or when you have to just go on
Nice work pal
Well explained sir
Coach nice with the hands regardless of the Dad bod
Ur back coach!
Leaning forward is good for power punching, you can see fighters like Mike Tyson leaning forward in most fights
Thanks for the knowledge man.
Excelent thank you very much Sir!!
3:32 That kind of humour taste makes also in good mood. :)
Shouldn't a waited to watch this one. Great lesson, presentation. Like seeing the appreciative comments.
Great advice
Whats a exercise to keeping my elbows. Square
Frederick Gill by square do you mean tucked in close to your body? I usually have one glove on and the other off. The one that’s off I tuck that one in between my body and elbow, and start throwing with the hand with the glove on. To exercise my mind to keep my opposite hand up, and tucked up close to my body.

Great advice again Fran and the concept and application put across superbly. Great demo as well even though you were breathing through your arse!
😂
Another great lesson 👍
That standby medical team were always going to have a quiet day 😎
Thank u so much
Damn homeboy has hands

I do muay Thai so a square stance is a must to block leg kicks
Lovely!!!
