Mate, You are the best please keep posting videos. Your explanation shows that you know what you are talking about....All fighting comes from footwork whether its boxing or martial art...its the basic and foundation.
@@Nelkz39CFC that’s boxing for ya. My first proper sparring session I got whacked up by someone who was out to hurt others in sparring. If that spar didn’t happened I would not be where I am now. It changed my mindset for the better
Welcome to the rite of passage, man. The pressure, tension, everything; what you learned just goes out the window your first spar. It just happens. Got wrecked my first spar. Did dramatically better merely the next day. Comes with experience.
That's what it's like, if you stick with it long enough to basically learn to defend yourself in the ring your experience will get better. First time in the ring, the other guy doesn't want to get hurt by you so it turns out that the first timer is like a punching bag until he gets enough sparring to start to figure out how to use what he's learned in the ring.
very intelligent and with your emphasis on footwork, quite a bit counter-intuitive -- the other thing I think is that no-one should be throwing punches til they have the blink-reflex under control and they don't gas out due to uneconomical moves
@@cochise6345 very true, but there's no easy solution to this, you just learn to trust your defence and accept it. I take cold showers in the mornings, it helps kill the "flinch reflex" which is similar.
Great tutorial. Just wanted to say though that hooks to the arm can be effective in wearing your opponent down. This was a primary technique of Rocky Marciano
What you said is true. But it requires very hard punching to be effective. Also throwing ineffective punches uses a lot of energy and doesn't score points. Yes it worked for Rocky. I was a hard puncher. But not hard enough to make it work with gloves! Rocky was one of a kind!
@@herbbowler2461 You're right about what you say. But if you can do it effectively it's sort of the boxing equivalent of the leg kick. Must have been a devastating technique to have used the way Rocky did
@@danr5462 For sure. But Rocky was one of very few that could use it effectively. Rocky seldom went the distance, he won most fights by KO and most of his punches had bone breaking power. Also, even at that time. Rocky was light for a heavyweight!
@@herbbowler2461 I read or heard somewhere that several of his opponents went to the hospital after a bout with him specifically due to taking those blows on their arms.
Brilliant advice in this video!! Question please.. I feel the shoulder pop when I throw hooks and upper cuts. Can we or even should we be using shoulder pop in straight punches?
@@Cloppa2000 it depends exactly what you mean when you say ‘pop’ the shoulder, I can only assume you mean popping it up to get more snap on the punch and to protect the chin. You can certainly do this on straight shots as it will protect your chin and help you get your straight shots nice and long

Fundamentals are the fundamentals for a reason. Get good enough at those and you learn how to tack stuff onto them and make your own style. First video I've seen from you. If you haven't made it already, I think a really good video for beginners would be how to throw a punch with a relaxed arm. Biggest problem I see newcomers make is throwing with clenched fists, all tensed up, easy to read. But, I haven't seen a coach ever explain how to fix it well, just "stay relaxed" and what not. Only ever seen it just click with people at a certain point.

Is boxing the hardest sport? I'm also doing judo and that has so many more techniques and outcomes. Wrestling also has a million techniques. Boxing is easier to learn, but still hard to master. Judo is way harder to learn and even harder to master. I love boxing, but i have to call bullshit 😅 Great video though, love it!!
Judo is indeed hard, but boxing is the hardest on your body in terms of mental stamina, physical durability of the head and neck, and insane reaction speed amongst other combat sports. The act of boxing takes a lot more out of you because your brain is being used in much tinier movements and adjustments and a high level of foresight to predict further. Even kickboxing is easier even though it’s funner and more useful in my opinion. Trust me it’s different to be punched in the face
