I gotta say some of your videos are a bit lacky in info and a bit short. But this one was amazing. Absolutely full of great information, id love to see more videos like this thank you!
If you slow it down you can see the mechanics of the move/kick/punch/whatever. I select .25 speed to break it down. Look at hips and torso, arms, shoulder, everything. You will see it.
I actually love the bolo punch. It is my favorite variation of the uppercut and my most effective. I know it has it's flaws but so does every other punch.
Thank you for this! My husband is saying that I shouldn't twist and bend my knees when I do my uppercuts. Been thinking I may be wrong as I see some trainees do #5. Now I'm convinced my coach is right all along!
1. Practice upper cut to body on heavy bag 2. Uppercut is a close ranged move. Be close 3. Use if opponent is always ducking head or shorter. 4. Don't overexaggerate movement, uppercut then hook is good combo because uppercut brings their head out of their guard. 5. Not angled but straight up 6. Not a curl movement, starts at the feet, knees, hips, core, shoulder, fist. Less arm movement and keep gap small as possible for more guard.
Hello sir, i m new to mma , only 1 year as of now. I really find your video helpful and see you as my second trainer next to my original trainer in dojo . I see your videos in slow motion so that i dont miss anything u teach.With ur guidance ,i hope i will become decent fighter one day. Thank you again... keep guiding the aspirant newbie fighters like me.
I‘m a girl, getting into self defense (in case it‘s necessary). I did a lot of weight training the past years so there definitely is some strength, just the technique is missing. So thank you a lot, these videos go more in depth about common mistakes that just waste energy!
As always these videos are perfect. Have been boxing for about two months now, and been working on perfecting my jab and cross thanks to you, but I’m looking to work on new moves and combos. Keep up the good work!
Wanted to show a buddy that just started striking, a correct uppercut. Quick search on TH-cam and clicked on this video first. This is exactly what I wanted him to see. Perfect.
Great video! I always find nuggets of insight I hadn't thought of on this channel. As to #5, I like to have my students practice uppercuts off of a slip, drawing the shoulder toward the opposite knee to produce the body movement you demonstrated here. Also, for those who keep using too much arm, I have them grab their ear when loading up for the punch and then they can let go once they stand up into the uppercut. Thanks for this awesome content!
Great video on uppercuts... 1 thing my coach taught me 2 years ago was to throw the uppercut more in the middle of my body. Just like you said, don't throw it outside of ur body or like mortal kombat. But I still practice this and its to bring it up where my elbow is rising right infront of my vertical line of my abs to create more power.
Watching it so I can play fitness boxing properly, anyone else? LOL. Very informative and helped immensely. The in game tutorial was not very accurate... the whole time I felt my movements were not a smooth flow, because I was doing things wrong haha!
number 3 iv seen George foreman walk upto a guy and do exactly that combo, left uppercut right hook and it just decimated him! so clean and he makes it look so easy lol
Hassan Islam point is that power is useless without technique and he was much better technically than many people (including some of the guys fighting him!) thought I do think he is the most devastating puncher to ever get in a ring, his body shots can and did do long term damage to people!
Nothing teaches you how to throw a straight uppercut more than a horizontal bag. If you throw an upper to one of those bags without your hand and forearm aligned correctly you receive great pain. Ouch! Also, Nadeem chopped heads with those long corkscrew uppers. He always loved to side-step to the outside at an angle while delivering that long upper in between the opponents' guard. Great stuff! Thanks for the video, Shane, great tips
I love your Videos I've Been Boxing for 7 years and Took 2 years off do to work and having a kid but I found my self getting sloppy and forgetting to throw my punches these videos help a lot and lit a fire 🔥 in me that's slowly making me love Boxing once again
The distance thing is super important in uppercuts AND hooks. I threw a hook from too far away in sparring last week and was already thinking about the next shot in my head so I flexed my arm too late. My buddy blocked right before I flexed my arm (my hand was also too high above my shoulder angle-wise) and my shoulder popped right out. Ouch... Always be in close when you throw that stuff and stay calm + concentrate on what youre throwing when you're throwing it.
Shane i have bewn watching your content for a long while now and i have to say.. you a an outstanding instructor. You do well by explaining the basics... shows you actually have expierence.. anyways i just wanted to say keep it up im sure you motivate people everyday.. Merry christmas and happy holidays!
The only rational I can see so an angled uppercut is if you are doing a smash like how Ruddock would do. Amazing for crushing guards and mix up KOs but it must be used properly as it can leave you exposed if they dodge it or smother it. Great videos! New fan
Make your own one Just grab a rice bag and put 1 quarter of sawdust and the rest is filled with sand (you can get them for free if you do woodwork just ask the teacher for some sawdust because they want to throw it away for the sand go to the beach and grab some) if you can't hang in a wall make a boxing stand you can get free wood and put like bucket of water so it makes strong
"You don't need to exaggerate and scrape your knuckles on the ground" I was freakin ROLLING after this comment xD The way you did it is just like Mortal Kombat as well but the thought of scraping your knuckles on the ground in an uppercut was hilarious.Your comment was so exaggerated as if you were mad at people for uppercutting like that. xD
Uppercuts can be thrown from outside, just as hooks can be thrown from outside. The first thing I teach is that an uppercut is a straight punch that’s redirected. You don’t lean sideways or dip down to throw it. You just rotate and dip your hand, then snap it up in an arc that works for the situation. I had a “coach” in our gym who told all the boxers that hooks are strictly inside punches. We let him get away with it until one boxer lost a match because he wouldn’t pull the trigger when his opponent pulled back with his hands down. A left uppercut from outside is referred to as an upjab. It’s a setup punch, just like a regular jab. You can turn it into a power shot by shifting your feet.
Uppercut has a special place in my heart; it was the first punch I ever used to defend myself. When I was about 6 years old, I'd been taking karate for several years. I was at a Chuck E. Cheese, made a friend but some other kid got jealous that I was playing with his friend. Eventually he grabbed my shirt collar from behind and twisted it; my natural reaction was to turn towards him and landed a clean uppercut. I remember the sound of his teeth slamming together so clearly. He let go of me and started crying, he got the message. But it was exactly as Shane described. I'd probably have thrown a straight punch if I had the range, but we were so close together it was the only option I knew since they didn't teach us elbows and knees at that time.
Shane it doesn't matter how far away you are. when you throw an uppercut your face is always exposed and also lead uppercut is just set up shot for the big rear punches. when you are in the closed distance and throw the uppercut all you can do is hooks or another uppercuts but you are still opened fro clinch, knees and takedowns. when you throw a lead uppercut from longer distance it's not even meant to do a lot of damage but you're still far away enough to avoid the counter and come back with straight right hand, feint the hook or overhead and come with the hook to the body. there are only 2 ways to use hook in closed distance, slipping a straight punch, stepping on the outside and then counter with the uppercut or in the clinch but you but set it up with hooks. I was sparring with one karate guy and I didn't do any set ups or anything, we were just striking back and forth and once we started to look at each other thinking about each other's next move I just snapped that lead uppercut in there outta nowhere and it almost popped his headguard off. it was that slapping uppercut but it was enough to lift his chin up and at that point I could come up with every thing. if we didnt have to stop to put his headgear back on I could attack with anything. try to get through the weakened guard opened in the middle, feint and come with this time rear uppercut, feint and go with straight to the body, close teh distance and throw the hook.
I started watching your videos from last week, and honestly i Love it, I'm learning from your more than my coach (I don't mean disrespect my coach) But yes you are awesome, Thanks Brother ❤️
"FINISH HIM"
Shane: No, don't do that.
"OK"
1.Get close range to throw
2.Throw when available
3.Throw with little to no telegraphing
4.Throw straight up the center
5.Throw with entire body
Thx bro
*Me thinking about throwing my entire body to a lake*
6. Make sure u subscribe before ur opponent does
love this guy; short, straight to the point. every time. I understood so much in a 4 mins video than a $40/1hr class in a local gym. 😅
@ItsCC13x I think he meant he keeps his videos short
Lmao, no mortal kombat. Hahahah
Fiqki_ FINISH HIM
justice5897 flawless victory
and that big uppercut Ryu from street fighter throws SHOOORYUKEN LMAO
Fiqki_ 🖼⏹㊗️🅱️🅰️🅰️🅰️🅾️🅾️🆑🈲🅾️
"OOH!"
those gloves look good
All About MMA I like the black ones more
Levy87 i havent seen them.
leo theyre the hypnotik base training gloves
I'm craving them
Your voice and mannerisms are very clear, clean, and precise. You could do broadcasting, if you wanted.
I gotta say some of your videos are a bit lacky in info and a bit short. But this one was amazing. Absolutely full of great information, id love to see more videos like this thank you!
Thanks for the feedback, Alec!
fightTIPS to be honest I only watch you for your boxing and training videos
fightTIPS you are great man just great. i wish i could mimic the muscle memory youve acquired thus far. downright beautiful. no homo
Hey man you seem to know a bit about fighting, can you review one of my fights on my channel and give me some tips
If you slow it down you can see the mechanics of the move/kick/punch/whatever. I select .25 speed to break it down. Look at hips and torso, arms, shoulder, everything. You will see it.
I actually love the bolo punch. It is my favorite variation of the uppercut and my most effective. I know it has it's flaws but so does every other punch.
You forgot the clasical Shoryuken uppercut, easly seen on Street fighter.
Hard but effective.
And the Tiger uppercut.
lol
Sonic boom!
nah kazumi's tiger uppercut from tekken
Your tips are always great, but I wish I could learn from you in actual lessons. that'd be awesome
Great Tyson reference. I was thinking of how he'd seemingly "sit down" to load up his power for a devastating upper cut.
Thank you for this! My husband is saying that I shouldn't twist and bend my knees when I do my uppercuts. Been thinking I may be wrong as I see some trainees do #5. Now I'm convinced my coach is right all along!

One of the best tips and one of the best demos I have seen outside of a gym. Great work sir, keep 'em coming. The tips, not the uppercuts...
Merry Christmas Shane hope you had a great day
Christmas is fake
Amazing uppercut, hook combo. I do boxing and it's great to come on this channel and get extra information to implement in my game.
6 years later , i learned a lot from this video. Thank you so much brother
uppercuts are the trickiest for me to learn compared to other basic punches, thanks for the video
number 3 iv seen George foreman walk upto a guy and do exactly that combo, left uppercut right hook and it just decimated him! so clean and he makes it look so easy lol
eatthisvr6 its bc he had the most powerful punches in boxing other fighters couldn't do that

@@hassanislam7227 No, he didn't. Sonny liston and earnie shavers hit harder then foreman.

Shane with his words of wisdom again cheers mate
*GREAT CHANNEL*
As a beginner, i’m having problems with my form and power in throwing uppercuts. Great tips! I’ll be doing this.
Believe me, this guy is giving excellent technical advice.
I love your Videos I've Been Boxing for 7 years and Took 2 years off do to work and having a kid but I found my self getting sloppy and forgetting to throw my punches these videos help a lot and lit a fire 🔥 in me that's slowly making me love Boxing once again

Great vids Shane. A lot of this stuff are things I should already know, but somehow have forgotten due to sloppy habits/losing focus during training.
Shane i have bewn watching your content for a long while now and i have to say.. you a an outstanding instructor. You do well by explaining the basics... shows you actually have expierence.. anyways i just wanted to say keep it up im sure you motivate people everyday.. Merry christmas and happy holidays!

I like your video. You are legit. Many people just throw punches and they really don't know how to punch correctly
The only rational I can see so an angled uppercut is if you are doing a smash like how Ruddock would do. Amazing for crushing guards and mix up KOs but it must be used properly as it can leave you exposed if they dodge it or smother it. Great videos! New fan
As always, great video. Short, simple and to the point!
Shane's just brilliant. Cheers for good videos man x
I’m watching this because I want to protect myself not just for fun
one of the best fight channels, i love you shane! have a nice 2017
wish I had a heavybag in my garage like you
yes the price is not the problem, the problem is that I live in an apartment not a house :( but I still get to train on the heavybag in the club tho
Joe Margaryan ah ok. Well at least you still get to train with one!
And there is not enough place in the garage because the there is only place for my parents car
Joe Margaryan Just buy a BOB
Make your own one
Just grab a rice bag and put 1 quarter of sawdust and the rest is filled with sand (you can get them for free if you do woodwork just ask the teacher for some sawdust because they want to throw it away for the sand go to the beach and grab some) if you can't hang in a wall make a boxing stand you can get free wood and put like bucket of water so it makes strong
00:30 Unless your name is Roy Jones Jr. of course
CJ Nonya Cole or prince naseem
Ajib Aktar naz never got ko'd
Mcgregor has made it work a few times in his early UFC career aswell.
ThePat1221 Not like Roy. Roy did one punch ko'es with that.
Some fighters do you have an unusual technique and they can manage to pull it off.
"You don't need to exaggerate and scrape your knuckles on the ground" I was freakin ROLLING after this comment xD The way you did it is just like Mortal Kombat as well but the thought of scraping your knuckles on the ground in an uppercut was hilarious.Your comment was so exaggerated as if you were mad at people for uppercutting like that. xD

I agree, what we call in London a screw shot is totally different to a uppercut
Thanks. It's a great video and you made it very short and precise. Great
This video was super helpful Shane! Hope to see more of these
Quick and to the point. Thank you.

Best videos for boxing techniques.
Thanks man - I really enjoy that video! Your uppercut looks smooth.
