Today I sparred for the first time against a 6 foot 2 person. At first I was slipping, getting hit, throwing but not landing. Finally I found my distance and how to overcome his height. Thanks for your tips 👍
Man I have been boxing for about 1 year and this has always been my problem I’m 155 cm or 5,1 but I’m only 13 but I’m still very very short but it’s so annoying cause I’m good technically but just not in sparing got any tips ??👍🥊
its like u have to lowkey step in closer as ur blocking and parrying the shots, it just looks like ur simply blocking but in reality ur secretly cutting of the distance without raising to much attention
Good plan, but difficult to do because opponent's punches are fast and hard. The only way is you must faster, tougher and more precise than the opponent. Now we know Tyson is how fast and tough.
Dominus Providebit I mean usually the guys that come to instructional videos like who have never been in a fight, or sparred, or much less trained at all.
@@thotdestroyeroni7726 Ok, that might be true, but the angle still favours the taller fighter. To explain what I mean, when you throw an uppercut, the first part of the motion has your fist going forward right? And the last goes sraight up. That means for you to have the connection be perpendicular for the first part of the movement, the target needs to be facing you. What that means is if you are trying to hit something below you (like an uppercut to the body) the punch must go forward right? You would know this of course even if you only hit the bag. This also means if you are taller than your opponent you can hit their face square with the same punch while they are facing you. Now, for the last part of the movement it goes upwards. This means that if you are hitting a target above you, it must be facing downwards. If you are fighting someone the same height as you or taller, this only happens if they are ducking their head down, which is a common situation when you pressure someone, but you need to wait for that opportunity. You will also know this is true when hitting the heavy bag with uppercuts somewhere higher up, you have to make a connection at an angle, which is weaker. What this means is as a taller fighter you can throw uppercuts whenever you want at whatever target. As a shorter fighter you must either throw them to the body, or make your opponent duck his head, which makes it more situational for a shorter fighter. And any short fighter (myself included, im 5'7") knows this is true, even if they can't explain why. Just to clarify, you can go for the head with an uppercut as a shorter fighter without them ducking, it just means the impact won't be flush with their face perpendicular, so its not as effective.
I just want to say thank you because you are helping me prepare for my first match in a few month and live my dream becoming a professional boxer so thanks
Karl Hans using slips and weaving hooks ,,,little tip ive learned when your weaving in the direction of your lead hand use that momentum to do a gazelle punch leaping hook
@@BankBidnizz I have a flat foot my dude it's excruciating. I can last on the heavy bag for a few rounds before burning out and I skip a lot of rope though. Yeah, skipping rope doesnt cause me pain go figure. I was thinking of trying stair sprints to compensate for regular sprints.
Good video! Thanks especially for the voice-over comment about bringing the back foot in when you do the stifle-the-shot maneuver. (It'll make it easier to remember.)
Jt, would you ever spar with the Fight Tips kid? I know you're a little heavier, but I have a feeling both of your youtube channels would benefit from something like that. Not trying to take each others heads off, but a light sparring session?
I feel shane would lose, but at the same time it's hard to predict how jt would respond to the kicks. U never know he might also train kickboxing on the side as well as boxing. They made a video together or a collab I should say so I think they are friends. Jt just seems tougher idk why I have a harder time watching fight tips videos. Shane is great but I question his credentials sometimes
yea I researched his credentials by accident looking up another fighter with a similar style channel and found nada hes more of a seminar coach/fighter
Yessir this is 100 percent true and especially when ur fighting someone uneducated about fighting throwing haymakers and Crazy stuff those people are looking for a one punch knockouts so u close the distance to uncomfort this person to make their punches less effective and for someone that just goes crazy and keeps on throwing and throwing go for a clinch and take them to the ground or something get into a full mount and throw elbows Coffin punches everything you can do to defend your self cause most people that fight out in the streets are uneducated on how to really fight and don’t know any ground game
Watching this after getting my head punched repeatedly by my friend who stands 6'3 and me a healthy 5'7 lol. For sure will be trying this next time thanks alot for the tips!!!!!!
This works just in theories, trust me the taller guy will hit you and go back, hit you and step lateral , and so on, only in this tutorials you will see someone go for 2,3 combination and then stay put.
I’m 5’4” going against a 6 foot dude, the only advantage he has on me is reach so I’ve been trying to find a way to minimize that advantage , thanks for the advice
Finally. A video that doesn't show countering like the other guy sticking his arm out for 2 minutes. Acting like you can slip, close the distance and throw a hook all before the guy pulls his lead hand back in.
I will have to try this. I've been trying to do the similar thing. Going in with high guard. The situation where this doesn't work is your opponent is way bigger than you or has power. I guess that's where getting low comes in to play. Still you are often rattled after eating a hard shot
Only works when you're more or less same weight as your opponent. If you're giving up height and weight against an opponent of a similar skill level, brace until the end of a round )
@@anonimperson7778 not even short either, just comparatively so in his particular weight class. 5’10 is especially quite huge when you consider that it’s bloody Mike Tyson!
At the start, if the guy follows that jab with a killer rear leg round kick to mid section instead of a right hand, it may hit your head if you're ducting left and low like that... 2;15 you re right there if the guy has no high level left/right/retreat movements and head movement as well ;-) What about the levels changes from him? ;-) Listen I have 2 of our quebec own pro boxers with great textbook techniques. David Lemieux and Jean Pascal. Pascal barely gets hit and he is constantly head ducting and countering with huge overhands from both hands...
Good stuff. I've been sparring the same tall guy for awhile and I've been weaving in with a step to get in but guy has seen me do that so many times that I'm getting predictable. Love the new stuff. I'm going to try it.
This style that jt teaches is a good style. You stuff their shot.. but to stuff a shot first , you need to know where it’s coming from. That’s the hard part :)
we just started sparring in the gym few days ago and im a very short dude like im 5 ft and i sparred against a 5'7 dude today it was craazy i also landed some shots but i now really understand what was the true problem its his reach so now imma focus on that
I like this guys channel n will buy his product on his website! Another good thing to do is watch Mike Tyson fights in slow- motion. Ps. Look up Gene kim on TH-cam
Swing1stAskQuestionsLast Yes they have a right jab so their liver is more vulnerable thats why i go for left body blows, and that thing of the left straight to the body when im back stepping doesnt happens to me probably because southpaws of my gym are taller than me so they usually aim to my head also i use a cross armed guard so in that "caso" (i dont know how that's said in english) i would parry the straight with my right hand, step in and clinch
I’m trying to start training we had a friendly boxing match at our house and Our Friend that came over is about 6”4 175 - 180 lbs. Basically he knocked down my step dad 2 times and It pissed me off because I’ve never seen him lose before and he’s 6”3 240 lbs. He got tagged in his face over and over because he wasn’t blocking. I’m 6ft 160 lbs I got 3 months till My dad rematches him,My brother that’s a boxer is going to train him to block and move. Meanwhile Im training to Beat him down myself. HARD WORK DEDICATION IM GOING IN TYSON STYLE.
sir may i ask have you any training for making sharper one's "instinct" in fighting? i mean, it's good to be technical and calculative but is there also in addition to that, a way to have a good hunch or intuition to which a fighter must move in a fight? like a freestyle dance, you're in the rhythm and zone and you don't get out of the beat sort of thing or in a piano, you can play all you want but you're in the correct Key so any note you play in the Key is never wrong in sound. Is there a similar way or concept in fighting? or is that just plain experience and untrainable? thanks papa JT Van V best vids as always
Hi coach, can you slip the jab to the right first then block the cross. I keep eating one two to my face when i try to close in with my jab, opponent throws off my vision
I've been getting jabbed to death lately! Every day bloody nose, busted lips, black eyes! The guys I've been boxing are 22,22, and 28 years old. I'm 35 5'9 220lbs. They're all over 6'0-6'4 185-190lbs. Help me please!
Shout out to all my shorties
im 5'8 185 so i like looking at helpful videos like this
MarQuez Pitt I'm 5'9 190 and would likely not fight any lighter than lightheavyweight. In the same boat haha
I'm 5'4 as for metric is 162 cm. I'm stocky and I do power lifting in my workout lols
Am I small for my age? I'm 6"0 170 I'm 16 compared to my cousins I’m small
Im 6 foot so not short but Im a heavyweight so pretty short for my class...
I needed this because I’m only 5”6 and I go against taller guys which is basically any other guy lol
Nick Edwin bruh I’m 5”3 imagine me
5"5 with wide shoulders and I fight at 120
4’10” percent 😂

As long as you dont close your eyes your good that quote is only for people that close there eyes
@Bruncek Puncek Hairy wiener.... to the face.
You're right.
Mike Tyson was also a short fighter for Heavyweight Boxing 🥊.
Videos like these are extremely helpful. There’s nothing worse than getting beaten by someone you’re better than just because you’re a lot shorter.

Dominus Providebit I mean usually the guys that come to instructional videos like who have never been in a fight, or sparred, or much less trained at all.
the most feared punch from a short fighter is the uppercut
I disagree, being taller favours the uppercut more I'd say. Body shots are good for shorter fighters since you are closer to that target.
Eduard over hand Right *
Rap Game That too, as the angle is advantageous for hitting above you.
Leo. You can see an uppercut coming from a tall guy better than seeing it coming from a short guy
