Jed me 2 im so close to joining a gym and i’ve been at my boxing back learning the true boxing stance and improving my south paw and i’m happy with my skills i’m a top boxer (around my town) w/o joining boxing
Damn I don't even remember my first time sparring 😂 that was many sparrs ago. Anyways good work man I bet you did good
Dumb Shit same 😂

I don't wanna be that guy, but you're actually spinning 360 degrees.
🤦♂️ Right before I filmed this, I was like "Just don't say 180°, Shane."
fightTIPS its okay man everybody make mistakes
He's just that good he did 180 twice.
He just meant 180 x2
@@fighttips can I do this but with rolled up socks
I would love to see like a training log from you, giving us a good idea how to piece these different drills together!
Hudson Hawk6 or just see it as a content idea for him?
Since I box at home I look at your videos and they really help me I appreciate that you make these so people can watch them and learn new things . Btw I’m so happy I’m going to join a gym on January
Nice and congratulations hope it goes well
hoodie thanks
Hope you do really good I barely started boxing at 6 grade well that was about 4 or 5 years ago but it don't matter when you start it's the dedication, dedicate yourself man
Dumb Shit thanks man I appreciate it

You should make a video about mistakes in waist movements when avoiding punches

I have balance and coordination problems due to brain tumors,and have been following your vids and hitting and kicking a bag....this excerise is great for me.
Your garage sure has come a long way since I started watching your channel. Those lights are a nice touch. Great content as always too.
I do this with a react ball. when it rebounds off the wall to the right I catch with the left and vice versa. That way their is an element of fast decision making aswell as reflexes and reaction time. Catching this way also has the practical effect of throwing cross punches
Awesome vid man, keep these coming. Love drills for speed.
Amazing drill, thank you for putting this video up for everyone.

Me: wait...do you have a ball?
I've been watching your videos for a long time and honestly I'm super excited to see you fight for a tittle i know you are gonna rip off whoever you fight cause you are one of the best coaches i have ever had even tho we have never talked, so i wish you the best coach Shane!!!
I find juggling helps a lot, not only on hand-eye but also in helping you relax and find a rhythm.
Love your channel so much
That was an excellent demonstration Mr. Fazen.
Love your videos!! 🐐
Great video Shane !
Grooving on all your videos, Thanks!
That's really great to hear -- thank you for your support!
You're soooooo awesome shane💥💥👊💯
I love 3rd drill
Thx for the tips will do it for sure
Those are some good routines. We used to bounce it on the floor whilst working with the footwork, forward, backward, to the sides, spinning around. And the whole time we would go left hand, right hand and so on. Great for coordination between feet and hands.
I like this video! I'm about to be a beast! Thanks Shane 👍🏼
Really good!!! I like a lot!
I've been using a tennis ball for boxing for a long time now just trying to catch it with the same footwork and form as boxing (if that description makes sense) and using knees to keep it up and I believe it can help people who need to relax and clinch their fist on impact. As long as they retract back to the head.
If you could do this with a misshapen ball, all the better. What can start to happen is you actually get better at the throwing aspect. Meaning you get better at throwing/hitting the ball in such a way that it comes back to you. You can end up getting more used to throwing the ball in such a way that it will come right back to you than actually developing the eyes needed to see a random punch coming. It's kinda like those punching bags with the spinning padded bar on top. People need to be careful they aren't just getting used to the specific trajectory of the spinning bar and end up getting caught in a real fight with punches coming from different/random angles.
Where can yoh get a misshapen ball?
Thanks buddy.it's your videos realy help me to improve my skills
Shane I used to hang 3 tennis balls at different heights from the ceiling. Its very difficult to strike the balls but it improves your flinch reflex and counter reaction punch/kick/knee accuracy. You really have to use your peripheral vision and it keeps your defece tight because the balls swing back at you and they hurt if you hit them hard. You can duck, weave and strike hard. You need to be quick and co-ordinated - give it a try. I never saw this before - its just something i thought up many years ago and it really helped my striking accuracy, counter moves and defence.
What were the heights and distances
One ball just below chin height. The other ball at chest height. The other ball around stomach height. The roof should be around 2.5 to 3.5 meters. If the roof is high, the balls will be too slow. Position them in a triangle with about one meter between them. You can adjust the positions on how you see fit. To make them i used curtain cord (plastic coated springy cord) and i used a dynabolt END (springy wingnut) and would screw the curtain rod eyelet through the dynabolt hole, into the curtain rod. I would drill a 10mm hole in the tennis ball and push the dynabolt through the hole untill it sprung open. It will stay secured in this way and all up the project only costs around 10 dollars. Start to strike one ball, duck and weave and then strike another through your peripheral vision. When you strike the ball hard with your knuckles the ball accelerates quickly, will hit the roof and bounce back hard. Its like someone throwing a punch at you (i even got a black eye once). Use the lower balls for kicking, knees and the high ball for head strikes/elbows. You will get used to it after a few hours - its really challenging. Watch out for any lights as the ball will fly up to the celing.
Use this method all time great eye coordination technique
Proud to be a part of 27% subscribers....

Thanks Shane. I have a tennis ball and no tennis court to play on, so I'll do this
Great work Shane
Lots of love from Pakistan
Wow I just learned that I was actually doing this back then. Thank you wow!

2:59 also known as the "AHEEHEEE"
I was on my first muy thai training today. Didnt trained anything 5 years, now im back again! I was satisfied with myself. I hope i will continue with training cuz its hard to fit 10 h of working and gym
So many people joining gyms in January. Same story. Did a lot of solo work this year while I focused on other stuff.
Someone shout out Shane when we make it. ♥
thx
appreciated
I did this a lot when i was a kid.
Reflexes
Can you do a video that blends in peek-a-boo boxing style into kickboxing.
Really like your Vids.
Can you do some more of Kick Tutorials, even if you have some old ones. :D
I used to do this with a DIY stress ball that was oddly shaped and when it bounced it didn’t come back exactly how it was thrown.
I’ve been doing this for the hell of it for years. I should be a beast
I love your channel, these kind of tips are great. Why just a tennis ball? start with a volley ball and get smaller, to teniss ball, to small black rubber ball, maybe more than one!! if you can see a ping pong ball sized jet black rubber ball coming at you, you are a long ways towards seeing a glove coning at you.
What do you think of those reflex balls? You should do a video on them when you have a chance!
Can u show how to use a reflex bag
another good drill is where you throw the ball towards the wall with your eyes closed and open then as soon as you hear the sound of the ball hitting the wall then try to catch it.
Yup, i've been using a tennis ball in my workouts when I'm away from the MMA gyms.
Keeps me sharp and definitely prevents boredom.
Though i've never used that last drill that involves spinning around. Gonna have to try that.
Great tips overall 👍
Throw the ball up along stairs. As it falls down, it bounces randomly and unpredictably. Can be used to train reaction to unpredictable movements
Hey Shane! I’m 13 and I’m about to start sparring. Any tips?
Can you start doing videos for kids? I want to get my son into it young and I would like to do these kind of drills with him. Perhaps on how to get small children interested enough to engage with you to do them in the forth place. Right now I'm watching your videos and thinking I wish there was tips to teach children 3-4 and above
It's like lacrosse practice.
When it comes to weight I get really confused if I’m at 145lbs and my fight is at that weight how do I maintain it so I don’t fall off?
Kapa LFK eat
Hey, do you think that reflex balls acually work to improve reflex and everything?
Yo legit i had the same idea a couple days ago but with a wet paper towel
Can these help for a beginner?
Handball helps with coordination
Which one is better "boxing or mma"
Hay Shane just asking I’m thinking of doing kickboxing or Muay Thai do you have any advice also what is your favourite martial art
I’m going to have to take a break from my boxing gym😭 since I’m going to take driving lessons
That's funny, I've been doing this for a while with a bouncy foam ball and people thought I was crazy 😂
I sincerely prefer the reflex ball 👍🏻
Yeah I gotta give those a try! I like a regular tennis/racquet ball so that you can aim to bounce it towards your face (helps reduce flinching, too).
when i saw the cover i think
you may give cricket tips
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Whats up Shange HUGE FAN! Would it be possible to get some quick tips on my heavy bag session? Keep an eye out for me!
Honestlty though gread channel. Love from Denver Co
got hit on my jaw like 3 times during a school fight so now i wanna practice dodging it
what's name of that ball?
I played handball for 10 or 12 years. That ain't nothing but handball drills. That's probably why my lateral movement is so good.
I used to bounce a tennis ball off my wall all the time because I was bored, no wonder I’m so good at dodging haha
can we use a squishy ball
can't you use a smaller Ball instead of moving Fürther? just asking
I got question this is really to anyone do I need a punching bag to practice boxing because I’ve only been practicing with boxing mittens
I play football and I’m overr tryna learn on how to box 😂
Hey Im going to be in a boxing match in two days and Im kinda nerves
can i do this on the floor also
Hey Shane can you do a video of how to fight multiple opponents AT a time
Just don’t fight multiple opponents
@@LearnTheLandScandinavia why
Kabita Kar he did a long time ago. Basically it was move circular to get them in front of each other and dont let any grabbing happen
@@jbird3 still a proper demonstration of street fight should be there
Am.i able to learn boxing solo, since box gyms are unaffordable to me?
You'll be able to improve your physical attributes (speed, balance, endurance, etc.) but you're obviously limited with how much your actual boxing will improve. You need that adversity of having someone stand in front of you, trying to hit you (like in a fight). Partner drills/sparring are the best ways of improving, where these solo drills are all supplemental.
Hey Shane is it possible for me to improve my boxing career at the age of 21
CHARAN ANNAMALAI yes
Try a handball/racquetball. The reaction time would have to be much quicker.
I just noticed Shane looks kinda like obi wan kenobi
Most indian kids grow up doing this on daily basis.
Being from a cricket crazy nation it was one of my favorite time pass growing up.
I use golf ball
I really hope that TV promo doesn’t give Shane a small role
Yo
i don't know if this is true, but when we got new tennis balls for our dog, my trainer advised not to get regular tennis balls because they got something called glass-fibre
Aye I'm one of the first!
Hi Shane I wonder if you could help me with this problem, I wear eye glasses in daily life. In training I take off them because I can fight without them. I wonder if in a street fight (not sparring in a boxing gym) what should I do with my eyeglasses? You know street fights happens suddenly so oppononet wont wait during street fight. If I fight with eyeglasses, would it be dangerous? What should I do about this?
I have the same problem, a year ago I got into a fight (wasn't anything too serious) and I had my glasses on, they werent dangerous but more annoying and uncomfortable. They fell off when my face turned quickly. They couldnt break because the lenses are plastic. All newer glasses have plastic lenses...
@@mirzasabic3048 could you beat?
@@Kenji17171 yes, but it wasn't anything serious... He was my friend, not anymore
“Spin 180 degrees” *spins 360* 😅
Spin 180°, twice 😅
