Wow, I never realized this before, but I already have the muscle memory for bobbing and weaving while moving off the center line in our Choy Li Fut forms. The more I watch your strategy inside the ring videos, the more I see that the material is already in our forms. Seriously, I learn a lot from being subbed to you.
Some great tips here coach. The best person I ever sparred against bobbed all the time and when I asked him what he was doing he couldn't articulate it. It took me so long to discover the bob which is very different to how most boxing gyms teach it which is bending the knees and weaving as if you're drawing a circle with your nose. To bob is more of a bow than a duck - a world of difference. It's really good to bob and move in at the same time if you are an inside fighter - block the jab, bob when the right hand comes and move in. The two techniques between the bob and the duck have been confused over time.
Have you read Jack Dempsey’s book “Championship fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense”? (If not, go read it- it’s public domain!) And if so, do you think Dempsey’s techniques are outdated by the standards of modern combat sports?
I'm reading it at the moment (and although I'm no fighter, I just practice on the heavy bag) and I'm really loving the amount of power I can get with my punches simply using my bodyweight and taking advantage of the different positions of my body to generate more power. Rotating from my hip when doing shovel hooks and hooks from shoulder whirls in general often come to mind, as well as the step jab also! (or as he calls it, the "left jolt") Really struggling with hitting using the 3 knuckles on my hands though, and they frequently get bruised and my hands hurt after every session haha.
NO! I think alot more MMA fighters should study Dempsey and even Lee's style of punching and body mechanics. Vertical fist fighters, like Dempsey and Tyson, often hit harder and have better body mechanics and structure to their punches. Jon Jones uses mostly vertical fist, Israel Adesanya's does too and his jab is basically a perfect representation of the kind of Step Demspey talked about eith the jab. Israel will be about 60% front foot and often lifts the front foot with the punch; causing him to step with his jab and he lands with the bottom three knuckles. Izzy probably has one of the best jabs in MMA, both powerside forward jabs and powerside back (he's ambidextrous now, but born left handed)
It's good to see you teaching rather than putting others down. You have many skills that you can share and it's better than just saying other people are wrong. Thank you for your time.
Great video! Love the addition of the Dempsey roll. The duck only works well in boxing, especially with a height difference. If you time it right, pausing just as your rise from the duck, your opponent will usually strike, by that time you’re already slipping. Mike Tyson used this really well.
That’s not true Anderson Silva ducked under a nasty roundhouse kick from Izzy in their fight that almost took his head clean off his shoulders. That was a great fight.
@@LoconStratos if you’re basing the validity of training effective technique based on what one of the best fighters ever can do you’re a fool. There is an exception to every rule. Doesn’t change the fact that an average fighter without the spider’s incredible evasion would have been decked. Focus on high percentage techniques. You must know the rules before you can break them effectively.
@@joeljanssonhernstrom1819 I wasn’t disputing it being better than anything just saying it could be useful in other ways. I wasn’t trying to dispute the effectiveness of the Dempsey Roll

This is the best video on head movement I’ve ever seen! Great way of not only explaining it, but showing as well, and in the context of boxing, AND MMA. Also, it’s nice to see the Dempsey roll explained simply. So many people over explain and make it so much more complex than it is. Great video, Coach, I appreciate this information.
Wow! I had no idea the Dempsey roll was specifically like that. I've really tried to figure out exactly what was going on there but you just described it perfectly and now it finally makes sense! Jack Dempsey is easily my favourite. I owe him my love for boxing after I read his book so many times and studied everything he ever did.
This video is awesome and definitely fortuitous, I am not kidding I just literally have been figuring this pattern out as being the hip hinging you talk about vs just ducking, which has had an enormous transfer to my footwork and hip position for throwing strikes. Thank you for your knowledge!!
Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I never had any boxing training, mainly just picking things up from sparring partners. Never learned about solid boxing defense. Generally I just jumped in and out because I'm a TKD guy that can grapple (for the most part). I'll be sure to play with bobbing and weaving though. Especially if I can't jump out of the way. I appreciate you, sir!
Thank you SENSEI , your lessons are gold! Jack Dempsey has inspired many martial artists and boxers. Thank you for cleary explaining the concepts of Dempsey roll and Bobbing and Weaving. Best regards from Italy
Inspired me and changed my life completely. First from Hajime No Ippo I learned who Jack Dempsey was, then I had to learn everything about him. So I read his book and was completely hooked after.
Thanks for the tutorial, coach. Awesome as always. A lot of coaches make you drill with the rope, but a lot of them can't articulate how to properly do it. I remember how this movement felt very odd to me until I started adding the feet movement to the sides. Then it was like an epiphany. I wish I would have known about it way before.
his is the most informative vid ive ever watched. I never knew anything about how to create angles like that, I used to be so focused on head movements and not step into that advantage angles. Thanks a lot for the insight
One thing that dawned on me when you started explaining the concept of advantageous angles and the reasons for moving off the centre line, is that this is great information for fighting video games with lateral movement as well. So thanks coach, I'll put this into practice in Tekken.
“Dempsey Roll” huh? I used to practice that move till my hands were too sore to keep going. Never knew it had a name. Just my favorite combo for striking while avoiding being struck. Great channel
I really like that u put in the get off line part cus alot of places teach it as to stand there and roll under the punch which seems like itd leave you vulnerable to any number of things like a knee thrust or 12 to 6 elbow
Ramsey your videos improved my WTF Taekwondo SPARRING 100% with your punching boxing videos. My boxing can MATCH my KICKING. Thank u brother. Now i must study some of your ground stuff..grrrrrrrr
Ramsey I hope this spells great success for your team as you are easily understood upon seeing that you possess no guile. Very happy for you and sending more hopes for continued success.
There are hundreds of them on my channel. Go check out my playlists. This is a good one to start with: th-cam.com/play/PLx78ZkEKSXzBZqYmSIlQesQV8RlBnX8ao.html
@@RamseyDewey Much obliged! Until now, I had only seen your commentary videos in my algorithm. I enjoy your channel, and hope all is well over there! Cheers!
A common mistake I see beginners make as soon as they figure out the bob and weave motion is they dont realign themselves when the counter after the bob and weave and try to punch leaning forward. I like that you demonstrate coming back up to good alignment to throw that next hook or body shot.
hey Ramsey! i've been following your channel for a while now. i don't mean to make this long but i'm a 21-year-old aspiring MMA fighter. i've done Japanese Goshinjutsu JiuJitsu (you should probably explain the difference between that and BJJ for the ppl who don't know cause most ppl do have a misconception that BJJ is the only Jiu Jitsu lol) since i was 6 or 7 up until i was 13 and i rekindled my passion to be an MMA fighter later in my teens; by the time I was mentally and financially prepared to step into a gym,, Corona had taken over and the country was on a lockdown. i've spent almost all my time that i was out of a dojo researching the biomechanics and technical movements and microadjustments of properly throwing strikes,, footwork,, head movement,, hand-fighting,, and grappling along with the help of your channel and applying them and practicing,, to the point I can even pick out some of my own flaws in striking and correcting them in real time. i'm planning on finally going to this "MMA" gym to work on Kickboxing and BJJ (not so much wrestling yet as I am more comfortable with the base principles of Boxing && Jiu Jitsu as of right now,, and I'm looking to improve on my developed skills before acquiring new skills). Ik once I get to the gym if I can get a trainer they are going to work on fine- tuning the skills I already have developed over the years and introducing me to new techniques for MMA-based combat. However,, I would still like to use your channel on my journey. Do you have any tips in terms of a solid gameplan for a short (5ft/152cm) slim- athletic build MMA fighter? I know every guy I will get into the ring or cage with will have at least significant height,, weight and/or reach advantages over me but I am a very solid defensive fighter and I am just looking for all the edge I can get. I'm already very aware when it comes to positioning and shot selection from different angles,, but I guess what I'm asking is for some additional tips I can use for attempting TDs being at a severe disadvantage and closing what will be a major distance gap for striking? I'm not a big fan of the "Swarmer" archetype and I much prefer using patience,, footwork and head movement to counterstrike but it seems as if swarming is the most effective for shorter fighters. Me being as short as I am,, I was just wondering if you had any techniques you might have used to help me out in my journey to be the very best fighter I can be. Big fan thank you in advance
You have to remember there are weight classes in combat sports. You will not be at a weight disadvantage. Height and reach is another issue entirely. (Training in the gym is a different matter entirely, however) I have made a few videos on the topic of shorter fighters facing taller fighters. This one is about takedowns: th-cam.com/video/yrGCFdEfYTE/w-d-xo.html
Another gem of a video from Ramsey Dewey. I think part of the reason bobbing is being forgotten is the rule of keeping the back up in amateur boxing. Different refs have different strictness on it, and I've noticed some amateur boxers and coaches erring towards rule-safety in training.
Needs mentioning, but if you break that posture and expose the back of your head, you're getting tossed for dangerous boxing! Thanks, this is a great break-down; like a lot of folks, I got completely mis-trained on how this is supposed to work.
I honestly love doing bobbing and weaving mostly because I've noticed it's helped my cardio. And it can be a little fun if you mix up moving back wards and forwards.
Another great video with lots of important little tips - I haven't done that Bobbing and Weaving rope drill in over 10 years, need to put it back into my practice - that and drills with a tennis ball on a piece of elastic tied to the forehead. :)
Exactly,ski running also could be used as tool for advanced training,it is shifting to the side you are stepping, this the first thing they are teaching you in old Chinese martial arts,they are calling it the error of double weight, mastering this is very effective in boxing, but also in wrestling, when you must be able to shifting it very fast and efficient, also to not telegraph what you are doing , you counter with shifting the mass on the right leg in the right time , you are using double weight only to transition and to hide your intentions and tactics, but as soon as someone attack you are shifting the mass on one leg only which makes the opponent to search for better position, to know what is your weakness and what the opponent will do is your advantage if you are using it with intention to put him in situation in which you are predicting the response he gives you, this is the best way to get defense working as attack.
I know you say your technique vids don't get as many views, but I am grateful for them. Have you thought about making some "entrance music" for when Captain Krav Maga enters the ring?
I appreciate you Ramsey Dewey and I've learned a lot from your tutorials and instruction. But here I'm going to respectfully suggest that you review Rolling, specifically rolling under a hook vs Bobbing and Weaving. If you step to the side and end up at your opponent's 45 degrees or to his side... you've Rolled (possibly under a straight punch, but more likely under his hook to your head).
i finally grokked the power line the other day. beat the piss out of the bag with bare hands, no injuries, not even broken skin. what a game changer. i also figured out there's a power line for kicks and it follows the same principles. dempsey is a LEGEND.
Freaking finally! It never made sense to squat - it was just too slow and energy consuming. Somehow, I find that all gyms in my area teach the vertical level change without the horizontal one (even though I'm Filipino and boxing is so prevalent here).
I would really love to see a video of you about side crouching. Is like when you crouch like Dempsey but to the sideways like how rocky Marciano use to do
I know this is how he talks.. I get it. But seriously there's a character he sounds just like.. I just can't pin it down. I liked this one so much I subscribed lol.
True you can have strong posture by using a bowing movement to get below punches but the real problem is not snap downs or head grabs its moving your head right into follow up kicks and knees. In boxing you dont have to worry about that but its thing to consider when strikes might come from the lower half of the body too Using something closer to a squat movement (like used in a level change in mma) can work fine too Edit: I find it really interesting that out of the thousands of likes and hundreds of commenters, not a single person agrees with or knows about this pretty basic and important point
@@RamseyDewey mmm well you CAN hit what's not in front of you with a knee or round kick 3:53 Figure 72 shows pretty clearly that the guy ducking the punch can eat a knee or shin of the guy throwing the right punch 4:49 at the lowest part of your bow that guys right knee or shin could easily have reached your face "You can’t hit what’s not there" does not seem to apply because the head is still in front of (and moving towards) the rear leg Bowing is great for boxing because the rules make that a safe head position I didn't invent this, I am pretty sure this is a well know thing to watch out for
Fantastic video! I'm working on selecting a minimum number of techniques to practice to become a "good enough" fighter. Ideally, they'd all fit into one form that I could practice every day for the rest of my life. The Dempsey Roll seems like a good choice. I imagine that having that drilled into my muscle memory would be fantastic if anyone ever threw a punch at me. Any recommendations for other techniques for a "minimalist" martial art? Context. I'm 41, I've never been in a fight, I don't expect to get in one in the future. I've had no formal martial arts training, and my exercise consists of a 20 minute kettlebell routine 3-5 days a week. Most likely I'll just add doing my form to the beginning or ending of my workout. I know this will only yield mediocre results, but it's all my life can support. I'm taking inspiration from Bruce Lee's "“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Since I'm not going to spend a ton of time training, choosing the fewest kicks, punches or whatevers to focus on seems smart, but just training one kick and never anything else probably wouldn't be smart either. Or would a better use of my time be learning one existing form or kata?
Working kata, shadowboxing or solo work in general won't likely help you in a fight. It's likely to do the opposite by giving you a false sense of confidence. You absolutely need to join a gym and spar and do partner drills if you want to get better. There's no other way.
@@jordanmartens5591 "I know this will only yield mediocre results, but it's all my life can support." I promise you I won't be confident, let alone falsely confident. Again, the odds that I'll ever be in a fight are so low, that this is barely worth any effort. But I think having *some* amount of skill will be better than zero, and that will at least be motivation to keep at it, which will at least be good for upping my activity level. Dedicating my life to martial arts will yield better results than just joining a gym. You seem to think joining a gym is a minimum, and I'm telling you I've decided to set my bar lower than that. Everyone has to decide how to prioritize the precious time we've got. If you've got any tips on how to get the most out of the time I've described setting aside (a few minutes a day, on my own), I'd love to hear them.
Very good, but yes one from or another of this technique and training is in many to most martial arts, tho I also actually do the rope thing from time to time as well tho
I was waiting for the jet engine sounds on the Dempsey roll demonstration 😂

A good technique is never "out of date" if it "worked" then and doesn't work now something went wrong in execution

Exactly,ski running also could be used as tool for advanced training,it is shifting to the side you are stepping, this the first thing they are teaching you in old Chinese martial arts,they are calling it the error of double weight, mastering this is very effective in boxing, but also in wrestling, when you must be able to shifting it very fast and efficient, also to not telegraph what you are doing , you counter with shifting the mass on the right leg in the right time , you are using double weight only to transition and to hide your intentions and tactics, but as soon as someone attack you are shifting the mass on one leg only which makes the opponent to search for better position, to know what is your weakness and what the opponent will do is your advantage if you are using it with intention to put him in situation in which you are predicting the response he gives you, this is the best way to get defense working as attack.
Bobbing and dodging is a great thing to drill.. Nice work
Looks Beautiful over thier 🙄🙄
I've heard a lot of silly arguments against bobbing and weaving, being snapped down is probably one of the silliest.
You can thank a certain popular youtuber I won’t name for that gem!
Finally a good video about this topic
I know you say your technique vids don't get as many views, but I am grateful for them.
Have you thought about making some "entrance music" for when Captain Krav Maga enters the ring?
It's a hinge!! Awesome video coach!
I appreciate you Ramsey Dewey and I've learned a lot from your tutorials and instruction. But here I'm going to respectfully suggest that you review Rolling, specifically rolling under a hook vs Bobbing and Weaving. If you step to the side and end up at your opponent's 45 degrees or to his side... you've Rolled (possibly under a straight punch, but more likely under his hook to your head).
Very good tips
I gotta make myself a improvised rope so I can practice this.
Thank you for sharing ☺️
Thanks Coach. great breakdown!
i finally grokked the power line the other day. beat the piss out of the bag with bare hands, no injuries, not even broken skin. what a game changer. i also figured out there's a power line for kicks and it follows the same principles. dempsey is a LEGEND.
........BUT HERE, MY POSTURE JUST BROKE,......
If this is Shanghai, it is an epicenter of wealth. What a beautiful gym. Thanks Ramsey Dewey for bringing up the Dempsey roll
It is, in fact, Shanghai, where cut-throat capitalism is alive and well.
Awesome Video Ramsey Dewey!
That rope drill is excellent.
Great stuff once again brother. Keep it up. Thx for the tips Coach.
Freaking finally! It never made sense to squat - it was just too slow and energy consuming. Somehow, I find that all gyms in my area teach the vertical level change without the horizontal one (even though I'm Filipino and boxing is so prevalent here).
Thanks, I’ve been trying to work on this
Thank you for a great explanation
Awesome video, very informative!
I would really love to see a video of you about side crouching. Is like when you crouch like Dempsey but to the sideways like how rocky Marciano use to do
Jack Dempseys book is an indispensable manual for any brawler or martial artist
Nice Bro! Love the rope thing!
great content, I'll apply to my string in the back yard.
That little girl sitting and watching is just cute....Good info on bobbing and weaving and dempsey roll coach.....keep it up ✌
Great video and nice Gym!
"Angles are important." My geometry teacher always said that.
Just really good content here.
I know this is how he talks.. I get it. But seriously there's a character he sounds just like.. I just can't pin it down.
I liked this one so much I subscribed lol.
Awesome, really good 👍
True you can have strong posture by using a bowing movement to get below punches but the real problem is not snap downs or head grabs
its moving your head right into follow up kicks and knees. In boxing you dont have to worry about that but its thing to consider when strikes might come from the lower half of the body too
Using something closer to a squat movement (like used in a level change in mma) can work fine too
Edit: I find it really interesting that out of the thousands of likes and hundreds of commenters, not a single person agrees with or knows about this pretty basic and important point
Move off the line as shown and that’s not an issue. You can’t hit what’s not there.
@@RamseyDewey mmm well you CAN hit what's not in front of you with a knee or round kick
3:53 Figure 72 shows pretty clearly that the guy ducking the punch can eat a knee or shin of the guy throwing the right punch
4:49 at the lowest part of your bow that guys right knee or shin could easily have reached your face
"You can’t hit what’s not there" does not seem to apply because the head is still in front of (and moving towards) the rear leg
Bowing is great for boxing because the rules make that a safe head position
I didn't invent this, I am pretty sure this is a well know thing to watch out for
@@RamseyDewey this world champ clearly thinks it is an issue

Fantastic video! I'm working on selecting a minimum number of techniques to practice to become a "good enough" fighter. Ideally, they'd all fit into one form that I could practice every day for the rest of my life. The Dempsey Roll seems like a good choice. I imagine that having that drilled into my muscle memory would be fantastic if anyone ever threw a punch at me. Any recommendations for other techniques for a "minimalist" martial art?
Context. I'm 41, I've never been in a fight, I don't expect to get in one in the future. I've had no formal martial arts training, and my exercise consists of a 20 minute kettlebell routine 3-5 days a week. Most likely I'll just add doing my form to the beginning or ending of my workout. I know this will only yield mediocre results, but it's all my life can support.
I'm taking inspiration from Bruce Lee's "“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Since I'm not going to spend a ton of time training, choosing the fewest kicks, punches or whatevers to focus on seems smart, but just training one kick and never anything else probably wouldn't be smart either.
Or would a better use of my time be learning one existing form or kata?
Working kata, shadowboxing or solo work in general won't likely help you in a fight. It's likely to do the opposite by giving you a false sense of confidence.
You absolutely need to join a gym and spar and do partner drills if you want to get better. There's no other way.
@@jordanmartens5591 "I know this will only yield mediocre results, but it's all my life can support."
I promise you I won't be confident, let alone falsely confident. Again, the odds that I'll ever be in a fight are so low, that this is barely worth any effort. But I think having *some* amount of skill will be better than zero, and that will at least be motivation to keep at it, which will at least be good for upping my activity level.
Dedicating my life to martial arts will yield better results than just joining a gym. You seem to think joining a gym is a minimum, and I'm telling you I've decided to set my bar lower than that. Everyone has to decide how to prioritize the precious time we've got. If you've got any tips on how to get the most out of the time I've described setting aside (a few minutes a day, on my own), I'd love to hear them.
Yes this makes me wanna set up that slip line even more that i've been meaning to do for some time now 😁😂🤣
Very good, but yes one from or another of this technique and training is in many to most martial arts, tho I also actually do the rope thing from time to time as well tho
Thank you for the good tips !
Could you tell us more about cutting angles ?
Have a nice day
(And very nice outro groovy music by the way !)

Awesome video!
Thanks!
great video as usual, thank you
I'm always scared to lower my head as i seen people get absolutely wrecked by knees.
super ćwiczonko na końcum 😃
all the jokes about the jet engines are basically the subscribers telling Ramsey to react to Hajime no Ippo.
Boy that IS some groovy music.
I need this lesson , thnx Coach
