Bobbing and Weaving is NOT ducking and squatting 

I was waiting for the jet engine sounds on the Dempsey roll demonstration 😂

You know you're doing the Dempsey roll correctly if you hear jet engine noises while you do it.

This is probably one of the best break downs of head movement

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.

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.

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 And if so, do you think Dempsey’s techniques are outdated by the standards of modern combat sports?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 really like the Dempsey Roll, you can really feel alot of bodyweight going into the hook when you roll; lots of power high and low

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.

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.

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 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

Hello Sir ,this is the best Interpretation about Jack Dempsey!!!!! Great,Thank you

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.

Ramsey youre a legend! I literally never had anyone explain this to me this well.

Thank you for clearing up some misconceptions, your videos are amazingly informative and I’m always learning something new from you :))

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.

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

Great piece. Thanks for covering this!

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!

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.

Thanks for this. It was super helpful, very clear concept to grasp. Thanks a lot

great drill! I'm new to boxing/mma so learning these drills is super valuable. Thanks!

Yey, I was waiting for this video :D really glad you made it!

THANK YOU SO MUCH COACH THIS IS SOMETHING I REALLY NEEDED

Another priceless tutorial video and did I mention what a beautiful Gym!!❤❤👏👏

It's nice to see someone talking about the Dempsey Roll

Loved the speed skating analogy!

Thanks Coach. great breakdown!

Excellent display!

Thank you for this. While I just learnt this in Hema fencing the other day, I didn't apply this to boxing. Once again thank you.

I liked seeing someone learn how to do the exercise for the first time. This makes me feel like this is for me.

Excellent breakdown sir!

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.

Great stuff once again brother. Keep it up. Thx for the tips Coach.

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. :)

Ay, I can't believe you really made the video! Good to see it, coach 🥊

Great video Ramsey! I just started deliberately practicing the D'Mato Shift recently thinking of Tyson and this compliments every aspect of that.

New gym looks sick!

Awesome Video Ramsey Dewey!

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

Finally a good video about this topic

Solid teaching! Would love to see more videos like this! Bravo!

Thanks for the video Ramsey! I'll try the Dempsey roll. I've been training with 2 ropes and it's really fun.

Thank you for a great explanation

i really liked the way she listens and takes it seriously.

great video as usual, thank you

Great video, and the little spectator darting over to watch the action was funny, too.

Thanks for this video. I tried setting up a rope in my back garden but I really didn't know what I was doing. I have a much better idea now.

I've heard a lot of silly arguments against bobbing and weaving, being snapped down is probably one of the silliest.

Very good tips

“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

Awesome video, very informative!

Thanks, I’ve been trying to work on this

Great new place Ramsey. Great you are doing fine with your martial arts school.

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.

Nice Bro! Love the rope thing!

I gotta make myself a improvised rope so I can practice this. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Thanks, I never really understood the meaning of the term before.

Awesome, really good 👍

Great video and nice Gym!

Ah, Jack Dempsey Junior. We meet again.

"Hip hinge", thanks for the new word coach!

Greatly quality!

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

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.

Just really good content here.

You should write a book about training and your personal philosophies. You're quite skilled and very interesting to listen to.

Good one, show that 'Hard2Hurt' channel guy [Icy Mike]; who criticized me when I told him that he was wasting energy in squatting ! Tho personally when I do the 'weave' it's more of a bob at pronounced 45° angle, also punching to the stomach - and practicing this I think could help your hooks a lot (but here doing them with only a half torso bend). Also using small knuckle for hooks & horizontal punches, as well as with the vertical punch - because I notice that those who advocate using the two big innermost knuckles when punching horizontal fist, always do their hooks suddenly off to the side when the target is still directly in front of them ! Hence punching with more diagonal torso leverage [or as described earlier, half bob at 45°]; as well as power emanating from the small knuckle, could remedy this.

I need this lesson , thnx Coach

Great video

Oh gosh, I was looking foward for you to talk about bobing and weaving, but then the kid stole the scene, lol. Great video anyway!

Goat content

That rope drill is excellent.

It's a hinge!! Awesome video coach!

Awesome video!

great content, I'll apply to my string in the back yard.

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.

Bobbing and dodging is a great thing to drill.. Nice work

great video

I was initially going to click off because I already knew how to bob and weave. But then I saw the other parts of the video and stayed to learn. :)

very good video

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

Thsnk you so much

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?

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.

super ćwiczonko na końcum 😃

Total correct

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

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 !)

Damn that’s a nice gym!

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.

Jack Dempseys book is an indispensable manual for any brawler or martial artist

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).

Yes this makes me wanna set up that slip line even more that i've been meaning to do for some time now 😁😂🤣

thanks

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, 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

That little girl sitting and watching is just cute....Good info on bobbing and weaving and dempsey roll coach.....keep it up ✌

Excellent explanation and practical demonstration of Bobbing and Weaving!!!! I noticed that when the instructor and fighter were executing their hook punches in conjunction with their Bobbing and Weaving motions the hook punches had the vertical fist positioning or oblique fist positional configuration. Is the vertical fist mechanically a stronger position than the horizontal fist target landing?
