Boxing is an absolutely essential skill for any martial artist and anybody that says otherwise just shouldn't be listened to. Well said, Coach. Pay attention!
@@thekinghasnoname4858 unless ur in a ring it won’t benefit u . Street fights don’t happen anymore. Each person is scared ur gonna shoot u. So they just shoot instead of fighting 😆
Nah they definitely do at bars all the time. I literally had to defend myself a few months back. Some dude girl was dancing on folks and he tried to sneak me at closing. It was unnecessary really but I wasn't going to let that slide.@@LaymanGamin
I feel like you can’t really be watching someone’s hands too much though, best look for his chest is because that’s where the punches will be angling from. Another thing, just keep that distance and if you’re taller space out your opponent with a jab, if you’re shorter, come in closer and step-in going for body shots or jawshots+ side step
Yo, Coach. I’m not a boxer. I’m not even trying to be one. Not sure why this video showed up on my feed, but man, I love an expert who can give a concise explanation about their expertise! 👊🏼
The thing that I love about life is how we come across people everyday that are different than we are but we can still speak, still respect and still encourage. I am a former martial artist and boxer and now I’m a coach. But I use boxing to teach a life lesson. Comments like yours motivate me to keep pushing. It was true when my mama once said, a kind word can go a long way. Thank u, u just made my day!
@@coachcarl757_fitness I love that! And I love life for the same reason 🙌🏼 I bet if you keep sharing your passion and your knowledge, your channel will continue to blow up! Have an awesome day!
@@coachcarl757_fitnessI love this response, Coach. It's people like you and your mama who make this world go around and give life its real quality. God bless you and your mother🙏🙏. Subbed your channel. Thanks for the awesome video and expertise. Used to box a few years at school, now have bought two sets boxing gloves and a punch bag and am teaching my two daughters - they love it. Thanks again for the extra motivation.
Great advice coach. As I was once told : "Just don't be there." Distance distance distance. Head movement and footwork. When that other guy fires off, be a GHOST. Hitting nothing but air exhausts a person in more ways than one.
The most important part of defense is to watch the waist. You can see everything coming and the foot work as well all at the same time. I boxed Golden gloves for many years and learned this technique back in the 80s 90s and it still works till this day.
👏🏾 yes sir!!! Also I’m 3 miles from my HOME HOUSE RESIDENCE! Not the “crib” is for a baby angel 👼🏽 much luv & peace to my brotha’s... RESPECTFULLY & thank you for the great video very knowledgeable!
Yup. "Everyone has their favorite combo." That's why Iron man in the Captain America Civil war movie, he knew he couldn't box with Cap and win. So he had his AI analyze Cap's combo pattern to help him in the fight. Thank you for this video Brotha. I appreciate it.
Respect coach. I watched the ufc the other night and I noticed that merab(who fought Sean O’Malley) was in constant motion too and O’Malley had no idea what to do
I watched the fight too. That’s exactly how you beat counter punchers. A lot of movement, and a lot of punches… and must have a lot of cardio. I’m a counter puncher too lol
@@MostlyPeacefulNinjakey is to feint against the counter striker.. when you throw there’s always an opening.. when fighting a counter striker you have to draw out there counter by selling the feint and then counter the counter. You can also overload and freeze the counter striker by throwing feints.. I coach and am a counter striker as well but every style has a weakness.. important to be multi faceted and be able to switch styles when needed
I dont know why y'all act as if that man isn't a previous world champion. All due respect to the man in the video but why tf would Joshua take any advice from this man who has no accoldes of note?
An it's to late for Joshua anyway, having balls has always been the problem for AJ.. The man was the thickness off a ball hair away from greatness and his belief in himself was what let him down. Balls man you can't just grow them. Still want to witness AJ an Fury for sure
One of the best boxing videos you'll ever see. Movement is key. I'm always amazed at fighters like Sean Stickland and Stipe, and many others who just stand there in front of an oppenent waiting to be hit. Great job Mr. 56.
You think Joshua and other top boxers dont know this. Its easy to make a demonstration video on this but applying to a real fight is a different think entirely. Easier said than done.
Have to watch out... this is where someone with good fundamentals is going to start feinting, getting a read, looking to move you into a shot. Double jab you. If they try leaning, dipping away as you fire a long right hand... you can aim at their shoulder and land a clean head shot as they move into it. Well somrone did this to me lol. I was so frustrated by a great double jab, feinting, changing timing on the jab. Then started sinking right hands to my body. I started reacting to the right hand and they put a left hook upstairs behind it. The more i tried to create space the more momentum he had. Humbled by a 45 yr old man in sparring. Felt like a child. They didn't break a sweat, i was so reactive and looking to create space he explained i was doing all the work for him.
Eye, shoulder, and head feints to walk your opponent into punches that you want to setup is how you knock people out. Probing with your lead and rear hand. Its all about setting up your opponent and being in 80/20 exchanges. Circling your opponent with an active guard also creates openings. Good video.
Fam, you are a legendary teacher. This block of instructions applies to the novice as well as the seasoned veteran. Kudos Battle, this was good money.💯🔥👏🏿
When you watch fighters, don't just sit there waiting for someone to get knocked out. Watch what they are doing and ask yourself why. I know a lot of people dislike Floyd Mayweather Jr. and that is ok. But he was on top of everything in the ring. Everything he did had a purpose. He is my favorite fighter to watch to this day. He was surgical. Everyone talks about his shoulder roll or "Philly shell." That was just one of many defensive tactics he used.
I totally agree, Mayweather Jr is by far the best skilled fighter I've ever watched and I've been watching boxing since the late great Mohammed Ali, to Mike Tyson to Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Pernell Whitaker, Manny Pacquiao, Sugar Ray Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Durran, they were all good, but Mayweather Jr is by far the best I've ever seen fight. He gets a lot of criticism but he's a smart fighter, he knows how to stick n move and has a great defense. I don't know how many of my friends hated that I would root for him and that's cuz what I saw was a very smart fighter who was hard to hit and was fast when he'd hit you, one hit to his 4 hits is what you saw out of him and he'd beat you by points. These fools that say goes heads up are the ones that get knocked the fuck out. Why you trying to go to sleep for? Floyd never tried going to sleep, he was putting foolios to sleep...lol🤣
@@alberturquizo4198 He hasn't put anyone to sleep for half his career. If he's so good why not fight the best fighters, why wait until they're past their prime or fight them early before they've matured? Also in fights he's so risk averse it's actually boring & cowardly. The only thing in rate him for is becoming a boss & making serious money. Also the lesser damage is good for his brain long term. However I just can't have him up there with the best because he was too cowardly to fight the best in their prime
this is excellent information, and the first time I've ever seen your work. All practical approaches to defensive tactivs covered in such a relative way, it's excellent. Thank you.
@@JulianBlack-ox9xyyep!!! Not many people talk about that though. I get it. But based on eye anatomy you see better details by looking directly at something but peripheral vision is faster at detecting movements
My dad taught me boxing skills up until the age 10. Then he passed away. Me and my fights would slap box for fun. Knowing just some basics & practicing gives you an enormous advantage in a street fight against someone untrained.
You are exactly right about a good defense because a classic example is Wilfredo Benitez,he was a master of using body,hand in head feints to throw his opponent off balance making it very hard to figure out how to hit him. I would highly recommend everyone watch the Benitez vs Leonard fight,great video Coach.
The fifth thing could be to look for a double or single leg takedown/wrestling.. I love boxing/the sweet science, but i learned a long time ago that the ultimate equalizer to it is MMA wrestling in particular. I dont care how fast youre in a street fight, or how hard you could punch, none of it matters if you cant defend a takedown attempt. 🤷🏾
You said it. That’s what a boxing coach won’t tel you because he doesn’t want his guys going to other gym and stop coming to his at some point but this is the best advice. Heck, even guys who can defend a takedown, if you get them thinking bout hands for split second and then hit ‘em with that td you made it happen
@@Godloveszaza you’d be surprised what a little bit of head movement for that split second will do. Have you ever tried to hit someone CLEAN while they’re using head movement? They don’t even have to be good at it to make you miss using any real power
@@Godloveszaza what's the likelihood of a guy catching another guy clean, while attempting a takedown in a street fight bro? That shit doesn't happen often in MMA with guy's who are practitioners, i specifically mentioned a street fight where 99% of guy's aren't even in the correct boxing stances. You're referring to the 1% of guys who has a punchers chance, but it's still an unlikely thing to happen. Why do you think boxer's never agree to fight under MMA rules, but MMA guy's agree to boxing rules?
I’d say some guys have great natural instincts & reflexes but you really become great defensively when you understand how to judge range accurately & making sure you’re at a distance that requires minimal effort to successfully defend yourself either with head movement or footwork. The last part is actually controlling your opponents offense by setting him/her up, intentionally giving them looks that they “think” is there and bait them, a prime example is watching Floyd stick his head out, we all shout don’t reach because we know it’s a setup for that pullback counter. Of course, as you move up to fighting more experienced fighters, this only works so much, after a few times they’ll figure it out but for most people they won’t. Defense is just as much mental & preplanning as it is physical. Now if you have all of that combined with IQ & great instincts & reflexes, that’s your Shakurs of the world.
Now this is why it's called the Sweet Science! Respect Coach. This is me seeing you for the first time, and the quality of your content got me subscribed straight up! Thank you.
Thanks coach - I used to be an amateur boxer in my teens and the things you’re teaching are fundamentals, what I like to call the bread and butter. Absolutely spot on 💯
Thank you coach Carl this is the first video of yours I’ve seen but I’ve just decided to subscribe because I think the tips you have were very good. I also like how you are respectful in your comments and you appreciate those who appreciate you. Stay blessed coach
Thank u. I’m just trying to give the world my opinion and I truly appreciate people that give me that chance. I always tell people that I’m just trying to add to your knowledge, not replace anything that you’ve previously learned just add to it. Thanks for watching. Thanks for commenting
good stuff Coach Carl I also add in a lot of hand and eye coordination/reflex drills ....high use of the reaction bar , double end bag , slip bag, big emphasis on defense on what I teach offensively
I miss boxing when as a teen.. kept me out of trouble, not to mention peak physical fitness, if I can go back I'd stay focused on boxing. Lost my legs last year in a shooting. I miss a lot of things now 😞
Now God has another plan for u. I’m sorry this happened to you. Even though you may not be able to box doesn’t mean you can’t be in boxing. U know what it did for you so u are fully aware of what it can do for someone else. Lend your knowledge back to the game that I can tell u still have passion for. Their a lot of lives u can save…
Yoo wspp coach, really appreciate you for making these videos 💯 I’m 19 yrs old & weigh 125, I’m a southpaw and try my best to train as hard as I can & prioritise boxing, I just wish I could boxing full time but work 8 hours shift from my job, I’m broke asf rn but will figure it out soon, I’ve been training myself for about 10 or 11 months now (18 yrs old).. doing road work, bag, jump rope, shadow box, sprints, ect. I just don’t have a coach yet cause I don’t have the money yet, so I watch videos like yours to help me out, so thanks again. I do road work at 4am before I start work (6am) Monday Thursday (3Miles) Tuesday (6Miles) Friday Spirnts) I feel like I’m ready to start fighting already in amateurs, and know deep down I have potential, so essentially I’m working with what I have and can right now. Videos like yours help a lot. + I know I started mad late but tbh idc it’s already locked in and this is what I want to do, so yeah basically I’m hustling tf out to make this work. Hopefully this shit works.
Congratulations on being 19 and being responsible. I’m glad I can help u out in your training. This is why I do what I do for people like you. Stay focused and keep doing what u have to do, in the end it’ll all work out. And no you’re not starting too late, you’re right on time
Great practical advice. Too many channels just dishing out drills and tips without teaching the actual practical knowledge to go with it. Obviously drilling is crucial but its important to approach ur drills with this mindstate of training how you’d fight instead of just making it about perfecting a certain drill without actually understanding/visualizing the scenario which you are drilling for. Like i said we need that too but this type of practical advice is whats really missing from youtube boxing content in my opinion. I also suggest coach d baltimore boxing too. You guys have a similar practical approach i think you would appreciate his stuff.
One thing to add to #2 is while constantly moving, do not move in a repeated sequence that can show a pattern in your movement thus allowing your opponent to easily predict where you'll move next
You see. This is how ppl get themselves in bad situations with ppl they underestimate. Coach looks reasonably fit but you wouldn’t say that’s a top notch fighter right there. So you might get brave, perhaps even try and show off in front of of some girls. Then you wake up two days later in the hospital eating through a straw and all you can remember is some dude saying “56 is the new 26” 😂 Respects due coach you taught me loads here and I’ll be subscribing to your channel and supporting!
A lot of people never been in fights. But my goal is to open your mind about fitness while teaching you the art of boxing. So should you ever need to protect yourself or your loved one’s you’ll have the basic knowledge and the skill set to do so
I came here expecting the whole six minutes to be about watching your opponent's shoulders but this was probably the best free fighting advice I've ever seen, well done.
Wow. I’m not a boxer but I’ve been weight training my whole life. You make me want to get into boxing. Not to compete but because I really liked your movement. I’m gonna subscribe. Hopefully you can show some drills to practice that. I’ve been Thinking about getting a heavy bag and a speed bag. I’ve had them in the past. I also like getting two tennis balls on a strong string hanging from the ceiling one ball about head height and one about lower chest height. Just poke a hole in the balls and run the string through them. You hit one and the other moves. And I Loved the video and your demeanor. Thanks.
I always tell people that you don’t have to be a boxer to train like one. Join in, it’ll be the most fun you’ve ever had in your life. Thank you for subscribing
This is 6.5/10 advice, I'll tell you why. What he is teaching, IS truly great advice, because this method helps you to stay CALM and see things clearly. However, if you truly want to see punches coming, you need to be focused on your opponents breath work. Before a person throws a punch, they will expose themselves by taking a quick breath. THAT'S how you truly can know when a punch is coming. God bless.
Call Carl, my brother I just listened to your information you were giving that’s the best information that I have heard in years just not about boxing. It’s about fighting. When you’re using your hands, I’m a martial artist. I’m a three-time world champion in the information that you gave this Audience breaks it down to the tea no more to be said well done my young blackbrother. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I am just giving people the information that I think can help take them further in their careers. It’s not about me, it’s about me being the example of where I think they can go. I truly appreciate your comment. It was a blessing to read it.
Great advice. One thing I’ve found that’s worked for me is constant drilling with a slip rope or swinging slip bag. I’ve taken it a step further by placing small strips of black tape in the center of my glasses so as to block my center vision and heighten my peripheral vision as i do rounds on the slip bag. After training like this for so long subtle movements, breath exhalations, and foot movements by the opponent are instinctually picked up on and countered through trained countering techniques plus the strengthened peripheral vision allows all this to happen without even thinking about it in the ring.
Exactly!!!! Defense Wins Championships!!!! May and Mike and Tank always have training Vids of DEFENSE!!! When I First started Fighting my MMA Coach said I want U to look the same way when U stop Fighting as U did when U started Fighting!!! That’s Deep!!!
Boxing is an absolutely essential skill for any martial artist and anybody that says otherwise just shouldn't be listened to. Well said, Coach. Pay attention!
Who says boxing ain’t needed? I’m a Dutch style kick-boxer, but boxing is amazing. A form of art.
Agreed, Muay Thai fighter here. Everything coach said is extremely useful in my sport, even if the exact protocols and weapons are slightly different.
This is obvious mma is formed from boxing
That’s Bruce Lee’s contribution.

@@Godloveszaza you’d be surprised what a little bit of head movement for that split second will do. Have you ever tried to hit someone CLEAN while they’re using head movement? They don’t even have to be good at it to make you miss using any real power
@@Godloveszaza what's the likelihood of a guy catching another guy clean, while attempting a takedown in a street fight bro?
That shit doesn't happen often in MMA with guy's who are practitioners, i specifically mentioned a street fight where 99% of guy's aren't even in the correct boxing stances.
You're referring to the 1% of guys who has a punchers chance, but it's still an unlikely thing to happen.
Why do you think boxer's never agree to fight under MMA rules, but MMA guy's agree to boxing rules?
I don’t know how I came across this video and don't know much about boxing, but this coach seems so knowledgeable and has sparked an interest ❤
As a coach I try to teach where things are understandable. Thanks for watching.
Gratitude, love this.
I’d say some guys have great natural instincts & reflexes but you really become great defensively when you understand how to judge range accurately & making sure you’re at a distance that requires minimal effort to successfully defend yourself either with head movement or footwork. The last part is actually controlling your opponents offense by setting him/her up, intentionally giving them looks that they “think” is there and bait them, a prime example is watching Floyd stick his head out, we all shout don’t reach because we know it’s a setup for that pullback counter. Of course, as you move up to fighting more experienced fighters, this only works so much, after a few times they’ll figure it out but for most people they won’t. Defense is just as much mental & preplanning as it is physical. Now if you have all of that combined with IQ & great instincts & reflexes, that’s your Shakurs of the world.
Awesome analogy
Great instructions coach keepem coming
Yessir. Just like going to a gym I’m gonna have a different lesson plan every day. Thanks for your response
Now this is why it's called the Sweet Science! Respect Coach. This is me seeing you for the first time, and the quality of your content got me subscribed straight up! Thank you.
Thank u
Thanks, Coach for those tips absolutely vital something I need to work on so thanks for the tips. Just finished the 7 mile run at 7:17 pace.
You’re welcome. Awesome run time
@@coachcarl757_fitness thanks Coach and I’m 60 years old
You are pretty good at teaching and breaking down fighting principles. Thanks for the quick class. 👍
Thank u
Hardest issue I had when starting was keeping eyes open when getting hit, natural.
My coach taught me real quick , this is exactly how you get ko’d.
He told u the truth. That’s how you know when a boxer is ready for the next level
Coach is absolutely on point and one more thing to add: BEND YOUR LEGS and make your base strong(footwork will be trash without strong base)🫶🏽
Thank you!
Thanks coach - I used to be an amateur boxer in my teens and the things you’re teaching are fundamentals, what I like to call the bread and butter. Absolutely spot on 💯
Thank u for your comment
Awesome solid advice and foundational knowledge coach 👌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Thank you coach Carl this is the first video of yours I’ve seen but I’ve just decided to subscribe because I think the tips you have were very good. I also like how you are respectful in your comments and you appreciate those who appreciate you. Stay blessed coach
Thank u. I’m just trying to give the world my opinion and I truly appreciate people that give me that chance. I always tell people that I’m just trying to add to your knowledge, not replace anything that you’ve previously learned just add to it. Thanks for watching. Thanks for commenting
good stuff Coach Carl I also add in a lot of hand and eye coordination/reflex drills ....high use of the reaction bar , double end bag , slip bag, big emphasis on defense on what I teach offensively
Awesome
Love your teaching and techniques brother!!🤞🏾
I miss boxing when as a teen.. kept me out of trouble, not to mention peak physical fitness, if I can go back I'd stay focused on boxing. Lost my legs last year in a shooting. I miss a lot of things now 😞
Now God has another plan for u. I’m sorry this happened to you. Even though you may not be able to box doesn’t mean you can’t be in boxing. U know what it did for you so u are fully aware of what it can do for someone else. Lend your knowledge back to the game that I can tell u still have passion for. Their a lot of lives u can save…
Yoo wspp coach, really appreciate you for making these videos 💯 I’m 19 yrs old & weigh 125, I’m a southpaw and try my best to train as hard as I can & prioritise boxing, I just wish I could boxing full time but work 8 hours shift from my job, I’m broke asf rn but will figure it out soon, I’ve been training myself for about 10 or 11 months now (18 yrs old).. doing road work, bag, jump rope, shadow box, sprints, ect. I just don’t have a coach yet cause I don’t have the money yet, so I watch videos like yours to help me out, so thanks again. I do road work at 4am before I start work (6am) Monday Thursday (3Miles) Tuesday (6Miles) Friday Spirnts) I feel like I’m ready to start fighting already in amateurs, and know deep down I have potential, so essentially I’m working with what I have and can right now. Videos like yours help a lot. + I know I started mad late but tbh idc it’s already locked in and this is what I want to do, so yeah basically I’m hustling tf out to make this work. Hopefully this shit works.
Congratulations on being 19 and being responsible. I’m glad I can help u out in your training. This is why I do what I do for people like you. Stay focused and keep doing what u have to do, in the end it’ll all work out. And no you’re not starting too late, you’re right on time
@@coachcarl757_fitness thank you so much, I’ll always remember you ❤️💯
Great practical advice. Too many channels just dishing out drills and tips without teaching the actual practical knowledge to go with it. Obviously drilling is crucial but its important to approach ur drills with this mindstate of training how you’d fight instead of just making it about perfecting a certain drill without actually understanding/visualizing the scenario which you are drilling for. Like i said we need that too but this type of practical advice is whats really missing from youtube boxing content in my opinion. I also suggest coach d baltimore boxing too. You guys have a similar practical approach i think you would appreciate his stuff.
One thing to add to #2 is while constantly moving, do not move in a repeated sequence that can show a pattern in your movement thus allowing your opponent to easily predict where you'll move next
Dude knows what he's talking about right here 💯
Thanks Coach Carl! I appreciate the training sir!
You see. This is how ppl get themselves in bad situations with ppl they underestimate. Coach looks reasonably fit but you wouldn’t say that’s a top notch fighter right there. So you might get brave, perhaps even try and show off in front of of some girls.
Then you wake up two days later in the hospital eating through a straw and all you can remember is some dude saying “56 is the new 26” 😂
Respects due coach you taught me loads here and I’ll be subscribing to your channel and supporting!
Thank u.
Good advice and much respect coach
Thank you for this video. I’ve never been in a fight but you got me wanting to come out and start learning and training 😅
A lot of people never been in fights. But my goal is to open your mind about fitness while teaching you the art of boxing. So should you ever need to protect yourself or your loved one’s you’ll have the basic knowledge and the skill set to do so
Big respect and love to you my brother for breakin that down for us. I appreciate that my brother 🙏🏾 💯 💪🏾
Thank u for your response
That was solid experience he just shared. Thank you coach
Thank you for your support
Appreciate that knowledge OG. About to hit some of those oblique lifts right now
I'm just gonna run around the ring until my opponent gets tired and then bang, boom 💥, bing 👊!
Lights out!!! 😳
Cogent, informative and direct. Really well done coach.
🙏🏾Thank you brotha 🤴🏾
Excellent Coach right here.
I came here expecting the whole six minutes to be about watching your opponent's shoulders but this was probably the best free fighting advice I've ever seen, well done.
Thank u. Boxing just ain’t about boxing, it’s really about life
Wow. I’m not a boxer but I’ve been weight training my whole life. You make me want to get into boxing. Not to compete but because I really liked your movement. I’m gonna subscribe. Hopefully you can show some drills to practice that. I’ve been Thinking about getting a heavy bag and a speed bag. I’ve had them in the past. I also like getting two tennis balls on a strong string hanging from the ceiling one ball about head height and one about lower chest height. Just poke a hole in the balls and run the string through them. You hit one and the other moves. And I Loved the video and your demeanor. Thanks.
I always tell people that you don’t have to be a boxer to train like one. Join in, it’ll be the most fun you’ve ever had in your life. Thank you for subscribing
Excellent information and video!
Loves it, coach you are spot on!!
Word up!
👊🏾💪🏾👑💜
This is 6.5/10 advice, I'll tell you why. What he is teaching, IS truly great advice, because this method helps you to stay CALM and see things clearly. However, if you truly want to see punches coming, you need to be focused on your opponents breath work. Before a person throws a punch, they will expose themselves by taking a quick breath. THAT'S how you truly can know when a punch is coming. God bless.
Call Carl, my brother I just listened to your information you were giving that’s the best information that I have heard in years just not about boxing. It’s about fighting. When you’re using your hands, I’m a martial artist. I’m a three-time world champion in the information that you gave this Audience breaks it down to the tea no more to be said well done my young blackbrother. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I am just giving people the information that I think can help take them further in their careers. It’s not about me, it’s about me being the example of where I think they can go. I truly appreciate your comment. It was a blessing to read it.
Awesome Information Thank you
So so good! Hope you can cover trapping and jamming their hands. George Foreman was well known to do this.
Thank you for this video bro your teaching is valuable and understandable!!

Just trying to share what I know
Great advice!! 🔥🔥🔥
Great lesson coach! Also, stay wide eyed and alert!
Thank you sir, for sharing your knowledge with us.
That’s why I’m here. To give whatever I’ve learned back to someone else who could use it
Great advice. One thing I’ve found that’s worked for me is constant drilling with a slip rope or swinging slip bag. I’ve taken it a step further by placing small strips of black tape in the center of my glasses so as to block my center vision and heighten my peripheral vision as i do rounds on the slip bag. After training like this for so long subtle movements, breath exhalations, and foot movements by the opponent are instinctually picked up on and countered through trained countering techniques plus the strengthened peripheral vision allows all this to happen without even thinking about it in the ring.
Hi from Germany! You are a great coach. You know a lot about boxing. Thanks
Thank u for your compliment. My goal is to use what I’ve learned to add to what u already know. Help make u a champion
