It's not a Russian stlye! Youngish comment! They adopted Sugar Ray Robinson stlye of fighting ! BECAUSE IT WORKS!!!! Do your history! 😂😂😅 Culture vultures! Think about it ?
One of the best coaches of the old soviet style is Alexey Frolov. I highly recommend to look his videos up in TH-cam. Some of them are dubbed in English, others are in Russian, but all of them are priceless and can vastly up your game.
Probably the best break down of the pendulum step I've seen. BTW in Russian it's called "chelnok", which translates as shuttle. Pendulum is rhythmic movement. Shuttle - also back and forth, but less predictable.
Usable video! The Soviet style of boxing was characterized by high technique, a strategic approach, and an emphasis on collective training. Boxers in the Soviet Union were trained in a system that combined elements of classical technique and modern training methods. Discipline, strict control of physical fitness, and psychological training were important points. Boxers were usually able to work effectively from a distance, using combinations of punches and dodges, which allowed them to better defend and counterattack. As a result, the Soviet style of boxing became known for its effectiveness and ability to adjust to the opponent. The book “400 Boxing Combinations” by Yuriy Ivantsiv is a valuable manual that allows you to improve your boxing technique by systematically studying and practicing various combinations. By studying the strength, speed and accuracy of punches, a boxer can significantly diversify his tactical methods in the ring. Combinations, presented in the book, help to develop not only technical skills, but also better coordination of movements, which helps to improve the overall combat training. Regular application of the described techniques in the training process helps to improve reaction and quick thinking in real fight conditions.
Salvador Sanchez was a master of mixing up his look when he bounced to the front foot. He would set a pattern like you said and bait his opp into attacking his rhythm but then change head slots and counter or split his rhythm and attack. He used the predictability of the pendulum to set traps.
I love Soviet style. It focuses on having a good solid structure to have strong offense as well as defence. Emphasis is on footwork and less head movement so you won’t lose balance. Alex pereira is as straight as a board but hardly gets knocked out and knocks people out easily
@@salil7174 Waste of energy? First of all a stepback is more energy consuming than a slip, secondly a good slip open up very powerful/ deceptive counters. Both have its place and both can be very effective when done correctly. Also depends on your body type. I'd say if you're taller than your average weightclass guy, the sovjet style fits you better (because of range advantage). Headmovement with staying on the inside l, like Tyson Pekaboo style is for shorter, bulkier fighters with a lot of punch like Tyson, Frazier, Evander Holifield. They all mastered this style. While Ali, Lennox Lewis (although he could play different styles) or the Klitschkos in their early day were pioneers of the style. Now its of course at a much higher level. Bivot and Lomachenko really mastered the sovjet craft. Its like art what this guy do with this style ❤
@@janosch7210Do you think I can master this technique if I am 170 cm tall I want to master this technique as a Mexican and use it in a street fight against a woman killer twice my age it will be my first fight and hopefully not the last one.
I love the in-out movement. Sometimes I make boxing complicated with a lot of side movement or head movement. While mastering in and out movement is a weapon itself. It’s like dictating the tempo of the fight.
Add to this lateral movement and you are going to be pretty difficult to hit . However, you have to be in GREAT shape to do this for even two rounds. I think it's perfect for amateur boxing and only Bivol has taken it successfully to the pros as far as I know.
I think Muhammed Ali did it to some extend. I mean the step out- counter hits as seen here. Not that he had a complete sovjet style, just some elements. Kind of a hybrid fighter he was and very unique. You can clearly see elements of the sovjet school in Lenox Lewis and Evander Holyfield aswell
Bivol's footwork at 4:05 is insane. He's literally gliding forward while launching his combos. He is so light on his feet, I don't get how he can do that.
Same here, not only that but he can glide while moving in all angles too. It looks like he's going regular back and forward but he is somehow circling.
Its weird tho because the kneed dont look caved in when he does it. Maybe he just exaggerated it for example purposes and its the principle that matters.
Thank you for addressing breaking rhythm! Most important against experienced fighters who will time a (predictable) fighter’s bounce and strike in between beats!! Stamina required for sustained bounce requires the fighter to train more accurate strikes as economy of energy becomes paramount when bouncing around so much !
I enjoy training in different boxing styles. At first, make sure your knees are warm because there's a lot of pressure on them. Once you get the rhythm down and angles, it's a good workout. Thank you for the training video; it's a simple breakdown and to the point. Well done.
Really helpful vedio sir , cleared my all doubt about soviet style in which I was struggling,now my game is more improved, thank you very much for such vedio, please make such vedio like it 🥊🦊
ever since i saw bivol use this against canelo I have become in love with this style its just the sheer volume of punches and technique that bivol gave to canelo
Very similar to Ted Wong era of Bruce Lee training. Although in Jeet Kune Do (original) the pendulum is different. Interesting to see the knees bent in which is like Wing Chun stance. Bouncing in the beginning you demo is like Thai boxing. thanks for opening this rabbit hole for me.
Breakdown of Naoya Inoue's check left hook to right uppercut, please? When it lands flush it's devastating, even if you miss and aimed a bit lower it can target the solar plexus
Hello, when you went forward twice at 4:20, is the back leg supposed to be more bent than the front leg those two times going forward??? I watched it in slow motion a bunch of times, I still can't tell.
Finally an accessible approach to this method, which goes very deep into body mechanics at the higher levels. The only thing I would say is that your stance is more bladed than some of the soviet boxers.
Is this a style that's only good for certain moments/fights or is it meant to become a primary fighting style you use? These videos are amazing. Best on TH-cam.
Actually if you know the technique well it's easier than normal , actually this method is the technique to not to get tired . Maybe you are doing it wrong
@@Growth-GenesisesNo brother it is tiring.You need to have great fitness and a lower body weight to perform this well. Heavyweights don't bother expending so much energy.
@GaryMorris2112 also if you're buff or you come from bodybuilding it makes it harder, even if you're fit. But just like with anything you can train your body to be better at it 💪
When I first hopped in a gym this was the most natural movement to me. Cardio was not there at the time though. 😂 thanks for this video cause I never really had a true breakdown of it.
Thanks for breaking it down so great ive watched so many videos on this style you explained it the best,hope you make more videos on the soviet style boxing
Loved your video. Reminded of Bruce Lee and his 60/40 stance which he used to box . Remember he started as Honk Kongs Western Boxing Champ. Meaning classical boxing. Nothing to with martial arts. Is your rear leg bent at a 45% angle and on the toes or flat footed? Great stuff to learn. Thanks.🥊🥊
looks is genetic. you cant train to look like someone else. you will look like the trained version of you, and it might look less aesthetic than another person who doesn't even train. who cares, do you
The style works well if i got a longer reach, but as soon as i got equal or shorter reach it sort of makes me vulnerable to getting timed on the entry. Plus head movement is more difficult due to the stance
Well, all comes from the legs. No legs, no boxing ;-) At least we have here in berlin an old school soviet trainer (alexander wopilow) who is teaching us that exact style. When Bivol came out some 3 years ago, i immedialety asked him what about Bivol. He sayed: Perfect Student (of his style) :-)
Nice idea, but the presented way is,in my humble opinion is more British, than Rushian, as it moves more diagonally along the "Box"- a British invention. The one the Russian versionn, in my oppinion, is closer to the Eastern way of fighting, along the line: but there is another alternative, when rear leg is at 90degrees and front foot at 45, i.e along a line. it helps stepping in or out of the line so much typical for CHinesese Kung Fu solutions. Many thanks and have fun and pleasure in boxing. Paul, 69, retired instructor of Karate.
In fact he took it further “mixing” fence with savate and implementing falling step among other techniques to maximize power without losing speed. Improving faints and defenseattack in each movement to access matrix mode…
Guys be careful as a beginner with footwork, it is easy to twist your ankles if you do it uncontrolled due to you being on your tip of the foot. Be extra careful moving sideways and around, writing this to you as my ankle is pulsing 😂😂 Get the fundamentals thoroughly, don’t be like me hahahah
well the pendulum step isnt bad for an overhand its just when you throw it, you will take a lot longer to step back. with the soviet style you stand tall with a wider stance so not as much head movement. when u throw an over hand u lean in and slip to your non-dominant side. not try it if you want, but since ur leaning in more your not focusing on or using the advantage of long-medium range offense. you will be in an inside fighting position rather than an outside position which is the whole point of the soviet style
Hello. I can do Soviet style, but does it really translate in professional fights? Because in professional fights, you really need to plant your feet Manny Pacman is bouncy too, but he plants during fights actually

Head movement is a waste of energy if you can step out the way. Risky too. It's not as reliable as...you know what? I think I just got a big head.

Good explanation: I never heard the part about which punches to throw and why when in this mode.
Greater visibility and control of the zone, greater amplitude for the hook, a lot of nuances
The knees-in tip really is a great tip. Best explanation yet
Its weird tho because the kneed dont look caved in when he does it. Maybe he just exaggerated it for example purposes and its the principle that matters.
@ it’s a trigger for me to keep my knees from sliding out when I do it. It really changes how fast you can slide back and forth
Pendulum step is just one of the options. Lateral movement is another solid alternative.

Hello. I can do Soviet style, but does it really translate in professional fights?
Because in professional fights, you really need to plant your feet
Manny Pacman is bouncy too, but he plants during fights actually
Bivol is a good example of this style (or family of styles), and he has obtained success in professional fights.
best break down of this style ive seen. Would you say in a street fight any particualr style is more/less effective
I’m laughing at the very end “if you practice this you’ll be as good as someone who does the pendulum step very well”
Best 👌 tutorial on soviet style 🥊
Thank you, this was great, I will drill this.
As a boxing coach that is called rhythm fighting. A short rythm ( shorter rocking motion) long rhythm ( longer rocking motion) You can see this style on Ken Weldon videos he created in the late 1980s. Your content is correct though not new to boxing or a " Soviet Style"
Coach, you don't even know what a "Shuttle" is. This style has its roots in the distant 50s.
"Chelnok" can be translated as "shuttle". It is not the same as "pendulum".
Hey man, please consider doing some heavy bag lessons. Currently I'm not a member of a boxing gym, and have no one to spar with, so I just use the HB.
Didn't know this had a name. I learned this years ago.
