The lined mat is a great learning tool. It's not learn to "walk before you run", it's learn to "roll over, then walk, and only then run." Infants do it right. Newbs? Not so much.
Hey Fran, can I ask why you have to toe-in with your lead leg rather than aim it at your opponent? Does it depend on the style you're going for? I ask because in Jack Dempsey's book the lead leg doesn't toe-in.
Great video Fran thankyou, small steps is such a key. Always had a bad habit of taking too big steps and losing my balance and not being able to throw crisp fluid combinations.
As a 51 yo returning to boxing after 10 years away from a gym or routine, your channel and this excellent book were recommended by my former trainer. Thank you for putting out there such useful and easy to follow instruction. 🥊🥊
Thanks mate. Not a new gym. We are building extensions and refurbishing the boxing club. We received a grant from Merseyside Police and have somehow managed to get the build underway. Will hopefully do some vids of the finished article if it doesn't turn me into a gibbering wreck in the meantime. Hope all is well with you pal, will catch up soon👍
@@myboxingcoach i believe it will i'll share my results in a month or two, if this vid dropped a few hours earlier i wouldve used it instead of my own footwork drills haha.

That's it. Keep it simple👍
I've learnt slows steps can mess with your opponent mindset too as some may mistake it for calmess=confidence
Thank you for solving a big problem for me and that's getting started with doing any real footwork I'm happy with.

Foodwerks of mass destructions
I love the details, thank you.
I’m trying to get faster punches will a good footwork help me achieve it?
Thank you sir
