It's funny how bad habits creep back in. I spent the first part of your video thinking I was past those mistakes, until I double checked in the mirror and noticed I had started pulling my rear hand back every single time haha Thanks for another great video as usual!
Sorry, English is not my native and while I understand all the words in the first part I still don't quite understand what exactly did JT mean, can you please explain the aspect about right hand? Is it about not pulling your right hand back while punching with left or what? I understand all the video except this very first part, I would really appreciate if any of you guys helped me to understand.
Yes that's right. Very simply he's saying not to drop the right hand while throwing the jab in a 1-2 combo. This is a bad habit that telegraphs your intention to your opponent and also leaves you open to a counter left. Throw the right hand straight from the chin for best effect! Good luck in your training
Crazy how practical this stuff is. I've been sparring and noticed that my crosses always look like overhand crosses and have been trying to fix it but it's always unconsciously resurfaced in sparring. This video really put into words and concrete actions how and why my cross looks like an overhand. Specifically, weight distribution and elbow should be close to body. Great stuff as always man
Not every boxer can teach and not every coach can box! You sir are the complete package!!! You box, teach and are incredibly clear and deliver experience in an easy way to absorb! I have sent my friends to your sight !!!! Cheers from Australia sir!!!
If anyone lives in London, sign up for his seminar in a heart beat. In life, you rarely get the opportunity to receive instruction from someone so experienced, patient, and incredibly smart that explains things so clearly.
I love your videos man, it helped me to brush up my boxing skill. I've just started boxing for more than 1 year and my main weapon is 1-2 only. Please keep up the good work. Cheers from Vietnam
Thanks man! I got your answer 2 years ago, when i thanked you for your work via facebook. I still find something new in your videos. I appreciate it because i still learn new things. Thanks for your work and videos. And by the way, say hello to Zaneta from the gym, she is also from Czech republic, i noticed her in one of your videos. Ondrej
Thank you for this man. Ive been having such a hard time pulling punches and being off balance. This makes alotta sense and will be working on improving it. I gotta check out your site soon and buy something bc I watch your vids all the time. INCREDIBLE VALUE you're putting in and I really do appreciate it
So so so helpful! That's how I've been doing the cross wrong. Been working on the basics with your other videos on rope skipping, footwork. Found my boxing improved a lot with your videos. Keep them coming please!
In regards to your head turning while throwing a punch rather than staying straight and focused on the target, i found donald cerrones advice often fixed that quite well. make sure you're fully extendin your punches, at full extension your shoulder will generally touch your jaw line. remind yourself to touch your jaw with your shoulders? head will stay on target. dope vid as always jt! and i'm diggin the pirate head band you're stylin on punks hahaha. inspires me to do some good old fashion pillaging, maybe illegally burn a cd. gotta get me one my dude.
I am a beginner although I have done martial arts and kickboxing. Almost 48 and recovering from bad hip and back I am trying to learn boxing one step at a time (as I am in no rush). Your videos are so good especially for a newbie like me, thank you.
This is high level technical instruction. I was always taught not to flare your elbows when extending either the lead jab or the rear hand and this video explains what causes the flaring outward in the first place. Additionally, JT makes you cognizant of how direct punching speeds up potentially your punching combinations by being more movement efficient. In the case of the rear overhand though, is it ok to execute the punch with more of a baseball type throwing motion a la Joe Lewis?
To prevent your head moving as you throw the punch, keep your chin tucked in - Marco Antonio Barrera has probably the best stance, his chin is always tucked in : very classic, simple oldschool stance, but he can do so much with it ... Also don't over-think stuff, stay loose, have fun, with time and practise, it'll fall into place ...
Thanks coach, I need to work on letting the right hand go from the chin instead of pulling it back and loading it, cuz I can’t catch jabs all day but it delays me to catch and fire the right hand
Marco Ruas has a video where he talks about this. He said in Portuguese accent "IS BETTER TO LAND A PUNSH THAN TO NO LAND IT, SO YOU NO WANNA LET HIM KNOW WHEN IS COMING." and he was basically throwing punches directly from where his hands were set. It is a good video I think it's already on utube.
PS, a question I have asked but not yet received an answer from is, how is it best to fight when on the rope. How does one prevent one's self from ending up square. How should one roll outta or off the gate, when leaning on them. Should one even look to remain calm and counter while leaning on the rope. I have always found it a daunting situation to end up in. A skill that is not easy to learn. Respect.
Great tips as always man, looking really tight right now too. I also see a common right hand mistake where a subconscious back step takes place with the right leg. So you throw the jab then take a tiny step back with the right foot while throwing the cross. Thats very common to see in the beginners class.
I remember when your channel was named JT i think. I'd like to join your membership immediately if you have lectures or teach more in depth. However is your app included?
Good movement jt maybe someday I can get that fluid, 1-3 in my amateur fights right now. Thanks for your videos you were among the first that I've ever watched.👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much Man Love your videos allways learn something new thanks to you💯 (P.S Im just going to try the moving 3 inches to your right to get the view to throw the cross if it works for me) Thanks man Apreciate it
JT I’m new to striking. Thank you very much for your helpful and motivating videos. I’m just curious, do you train jiujitsu as well? Your shorts suggest that you are a BJJ purple belt.
Question: I’m right handed but I’m more comfortable standing as a southpaw, what can I do about that? If you made or make a video of it, can you please tag me in it? Thank you!
hey JT, can you make a video on some combinations that incorporate changing stances like tj dillashaws style. I know he's mma but his footwork is legendary and Ive been practicing my off hand stance on the bag, but not confident enough to apply it in sparring. Also, what's your prediction for the Canelo vs GGG fight?
I think TJ Dillashaws footwork is very useful for MMA as he and his opponents have the option of take downs. In straight boxing however I suspect that a lot of his footwork would be wasted movement/energy as a lot of the time he is not within striking range. You'll notice that boxers are in the pocket more often than MMA fighters who give each other a lot more distance.
My understanding was that as long as your chin wasn't going over your knee or side of it you were ok in shifting your weight to throw the right hand. I mean some shifting needs to happen from rear leg to front and not from rear to the center of your stance to develop the power in the right hand no? Thanks.
my friend thanks for video,on question pls. how on left hook comes power when we dont turn body-face on the right? I mean ofc you can throw left hook and look at the front straight but it will be that power foul???
I have an off-topic question: would you recommend getting boxing shoes for a beginner (if so: any recommendations?)? I would like to start doing some bag training (1-2 times a week), should I get boxing shoes for this or can I just use regular sports shoes?

That's so true, same here. Guess you're never too good to freshen up on the basics.
The Modern Martial Artist You watch JT too? Of course you do, great minds think alike hahaha

Great! Thank you, mate, you really helped!
This man deserves more views.
This is pure gold. So simple yet so effective.
JT I like how during training you emphasize the importance footwork as well as the idea of giving us examples of how to correct beginner mistakes

This is one of your best video ever... best boxing coach ok TH-cam. I envy people that can train with you.
Thanks 🙏 for all you great work!
I like the term "accumulative slowdown", this is a great term for combination striking. A great principle to think about in all martial arts.
Always precise, clear, and detailed. Highly recommended.
Checked out every single teaching video of this guy. Excellent instructor. Helped a lot. Thank you so much.
Hi JT, yep i was thinking that im quite good until i see this video and discover that still many things to working on. Thank you so much man.
I love your videos. I've noticed an improvement in my striking from watching a few of your videos. keep it up.
just starting to learn boxing this is extremely good
So so so helpful! That's how I've been doing the cross wrong. Been working on the basics with your other videos on rope skipping, footwork. Found my boxing improved a lot with your videos. Keep them coming please!
very thourogh tips on the subtle details of throwing punches efficiently, great video!
Hey JT! Thanks for this video I can't tell you how many golden nuggets are in this video.
In regards to your head turning while throwing a punch rather than staying straight and focused on the target, i found donald cerrones advice often fixed that quite well. make sure you're fully extendin your punches, at full extension your shoulder will generally touch your jaw line. remind yourself to touch your jaw with your shoulders? head will stay on target. dope vid as always jt! and i'm diggin the pirate head band you're stylin on punks hahaha. inspires me to do some good old fashion pillaging, maybe illegally burn a cd. gotta get me one my dude.
Cory Lahey sometimes take your head out with a heavy shot so if u miss your head isn’t still centre line.
That’s so true! Good to drill that with shadowboxing. Creates leverage also. And leverage creates POP aka power.
ty so much coach i didnt even know i was making these mistakes
just started sparring and I found this tips very helpful!
You're the coach that made my boxing twice as better
Great video man! good luck in London
This stuff is priceless. Come out to Seattle!
Fantastic video thanks for this!! People need to appreciate the hell out of martial artists for giving out free lessons!! Keep it up!
I just started boxing and these videos help out a lot. thanks bro!!
you should come to Berlin, Germany too! I have been hearing your voice so much you are as familiar as an uncle by now!
I’ve always thought of a over hand as a different shot to a straight right hand, and a good finishing shot when the other guy is just hanging in
Tabernacle is a legendary spot. I used to train bboying there years ago.
awesome videos. very clear easy watching
I like that foot work, nice to watch
Love how you took the time out to show me some great skills#Coach
I am a beginner although I have done martial arts and kickboxing. Almost 48 and recovering from bad hip and back I am trying to learn boxing one step at a time (as I am in no rush). Your videos are so good especially for a newbie like me, thank you.
Awesome, I hope you really enjoy it as you get into it
Fantastic instructions thank you - I have my first fight in two months time and have been struggling to land the right hand but perhaps not now!

yeah i really do some of these mistakes and didnt even know they were mistakes at all, wow. Very useful video great job!
Excellent video as always.
Thanks coach, I need to work on letting the right hand go from the chin instead of pulling it back and loading it, cuz I can’t catch jabs all day but it delays me to catch and fire the right hand
This video is simply excellent.
as usual, another perfect video brother! I don't know why I don't find other videos similar. keep it up!
Kostya Tszyu vs. Judah. Best example in a real fight of what a straight right hand can do.
Thx! You are vere good at explaining techniques and showing them too 🙏
Awesome video JT, many thanks.
Eating a few check left hooks on my jab fixed my right hand placement in a hurry.
You might not know this but you are my Sensei. We have no proper gyms or dojos in India and your videos are my guide book. Thank you.

As always, Great stuff!!
Thank's for this info, really help me improve my punch
Just what I need
Great lesson! 👍🏻
Awesome tips!!! Best boxing video about!
very solid boxing teaching vedio,nice job.
Why does the heavy bag in the back never stop swinging!!!
A pugilist ghost was hitting the bag
Maybe it was scared, seeing what had happened to the other one
john mayer said gravity
@@09ak31 true
They are light
What I needed
Great video. This is what I was looking for. Thank you.
Any plans to also have this seminar in continental Europe? That would be awesome.
Thanx JT!

+Cory Hernandez ah yes, good eye, you're right
Thanks Coach！these makes good money
I don’t understand the “thumbs down” reviews. This is great beginner advice to adhere to, and always come back to.
THX for your vids. Realy good and helpful!
Awesome information as always
Great tips, great coach!!
Thank you for this generous share ✨👌🙏

+Sombersamurai thank you, keep looking for ways to increase your total rounds per week, throw faster when you train
Definitely gonna have to work on my speed and volume, I'll be double checking the form of how I throw my right as well. Thanks again
Thanks coach!!
PS, really good basics to commence learning the noble art. Have to be fit even do this.
Great tips, thanks!
awesome vid jt keep em coming man
is this man a world champ?
JT - great video!
Thank you very much Man Love your videos allways learn something new thanks to you💯 (P.S Im just going to try the moving 3 inches to your right to get the view to throw the cross if it works for me) Thanks man Apreciate it
love ur videos man keep it up !
JT I’m new to striking. Thank you very much for your helpful and motivating videos. I’m just curious, do you train jiujitsu as well? Your shorts suggest that you are a BJJ purple belt.
Superb content
Question: I’m right handed but I’m more comfortable standing as a southpaw, what can I do about that? If you made or make a video of it, can you please tag me in it? Thank you!
Wait I use Othorfox stance and Southpaw stance both? Is it really good dexterity for right hand and left hand. Left hand and right hand?
Wow great stuff!
hey JT, can you make a video on some combinations that incorporate changing stances like tj dillashaws style. I know he's mma but his footwork is legendary and Ive been practicing my off hand stance on the bag, but not confident enough to apply it in sparring. Also, what's your prediction for the Canelo vs GGG fight?
look at vasyl lomachenko or rigondeux for great footwork and both are boxers so their techniques are better optimized for pure boxing
I'm naturally a SOUTHPAW. However, for the last year and some change, I have been training from my right hand as the lead. This video is on point!
I think TJ Dillashaws footwork is very useful for MMA as he and his opponents have the option of take downs. In straight boxing however I suspect that a lot of his footwork would be wasted movement/energy as a lot of the time he is not within striking range. You'll notice that boxers are in the pocket more often than MMA fighters who give each other a lot more distance.
