"The shoulders and the feet should be in one plane. There must be a base under your shoulders. Otherwise when you are retreating you will be draged backward with you own inertia." Gold right there!
I love how so many russian trainers are VERY thorough with focusing on the basics and the foundation. Those are THE most important things ever in boxing!
They real good with the Basics and that’s what you always can rely on A Good Jab A straight then a hook and a straight but then you row cuz it you get hit with those punches something is coming back don’t wait til it get there know it’s coming You can have a old Lady with a purse if you was to swing at her I don’t care who it is something is coming back expect it don’t wait til it get there..A punch is not complete til it comes back to where it started Peace and God Bless from the US.
Golden rule: If you’re not there to be hit, you won’t get hit. So thankful my former instructor drilled this constantly. It also reinforces the fact that sometimes, in real life scenarios, it’s best to just move and get outta there if possible. Move and think, don’t just retaliate immediately if you don’t have too.
I think this was the best boxing training video ive ever seen, because Coach Frolov is constantly customizing the lessons to the student in real time, with all the subtleties of the science, which is very helpful, not just telling u what he knows. Thank you coach & translator!
There was so much subtle information I don't think it got absorbed. The coach should of had another boxer in there of the same level so the young man can demonstrate what he learned. Then the coach needs to put on the gloves and I believe they need to pop each other at half power so he can see what he is doing. That part about the shoulder and the lead foot being on the same plane was interesting. But what about the toe? He had it turned to the side? Have him move for a whole round sparring with another guy. I learn from doing, the coach is intimidating and you can see in the kids eyes hes more afraid of doing something wrong then doing it right.
This coaches footwork is so good. The fact he can get his student to understand what he's doing wrong and how to correct it is what makes this a great lesson.
Dude I was thinking the same thing! Imagine some back alley thugs about to ask him for some change and he moves like lighting and he’s done before they even realized what happened
Reminds me of my youth. My coach would line up 5 of us at a time and give a 5 min one on one with each while the others watched. Then we went back to group training. These 5 min lessons were the best part of our training day. It's much easier when you are watching the coach teach someone. Your mind is overwhelmed sometimes when you are getting coached.
My first coach who I started with I’ve had so many and I can tell you what each taught me each one and lessons outside the ring but the one I started always said to not back up and thats wrong you do whatever you have to do to not get hit and he taught me the basics and that nobody that never boxed should be a coach and he never boxed See if you gotta make a fighter run and go to gym he probably ain’t gonna keep boxing that’s gotta be a given you got do what is needed to win..But his down fall was he over worked you when you didn’t have a fight he wanted you at the Gym hours of hard grinding and everyday every fighter he has had Are shot before they get in the ring and if you hate going to the gym you aren’t gonna succeed he will tell you not hurt you’re not got problems School work and Family things they might need attention and sometimes you need a day off but you got to be able to do the rounds you gotta be in Shape and you gotta rest too..And he never had a a top 20 fighter in 69 years cuz he don’t know what it takes to box he was never a boxer were human we feel bad we get sick we problems we get burnt out you can’t make people box and I in whole might be a fighter the rest might might pay for the gym you never know It’s gotta be fun but it’s hard work but it all up to you but when he started telling me I wasn’t hurting from days after day of grinding when Im top shape I knew he never boxed only you know how you feel not even a doctor can tell you but if you don’t Train like Rocky Against the Russian everyday without a fight lined up rest is important when your hurting and at that pace you won’t last very long..Rest is important gotta be fresh not burnt know your body don’t get me wrong not lazy but rest Mental health and billions of people in the World but very Very few are brave enough to get in those ropes I salute all of you that do or try..Trust me I learned from some that I didn’t know they didn’t know..Now I know you listen to everybody even a dummy it just might work for you nobody knows everything we all still learn But if you learn not to get hit first you’ll be a great fighter they can’t beat you learn to stay in the danger zone and deflect to catch to duck to roll to spin tie up and punch make them get out you stay in and you win Yes Russia We need each other these UFO’s are real that’s what keeps the peace..Nobody ever wins a war..They destroy families forever the Earth Mankind..Each Of us now we can’t Defeat each other to much destruction that the Earth can’t survive we have destroyed it already.
0:30 backward then to side 0:45 pendulm is forwad and back movement very short 2:12 first reaction to attack furst layer of defense footwork 0:30 backward then to side 2:20 backward then to the side(shoulders relaxed not tense) 4:14 backward then to side 3:30 back then to side 4:00 relax shoulders feet point ti side !
What a breath of fresh air. Haven't found any videos like this for a very long time. I could watch this guy all day. Infact I would love to go over and train with him 💯✊
Pendulum steps are brutal. Some say weaving is best, but i say pendulum steps is best, for defense and offense. You feel like a light sword, sharp and fast, evasion-step back, pendulum cross.
It depends on the boxer. Shorter boxers who tend to be pressure fighters coming forwards all the time, their defence is more bobbing and weaving where as taller boxers use more pendulum movements. Some boxers like to use more blocks and parries and some really mix their defence up.
@@georgegarner5331 Every boxer is different but I believe you should have a decent understanding of everything, different stances, footwork, guard, etc even if you don't use something yourself you need to know about it for when you face it.
@@jimmynich4791 I think boxers should have a healthy mix of everything. Depending on the opponent some movements open up windows of opportunity much better.
Seeing the student make the mistake and then seeing you illustrate and fix it was really instructive, much better than simply explaining the difference between correct and incorrect alignment. This really teaches a crucial technical point! Well done!
20 years ago when I was boxing we always respected boxers from Russian countries. Most of them had great boxing training/experience. I love these videos. I wish I had a trainer like this back in the days.
amazing boxing lesson really good translator a real knowledgeable boxing coach I think it's very difficult to teach someone to relax whilst under pressure the instructor did this beautifully
My Russian boxing 🥊 coach just taught me this as of recently. He explained it as Chelnok. Which he explained it’s like a needle going in an out or back and forth. I guess the American way to explain it is Pendulum.
I was taught boxing by my father; quite poorly, but I got the basics. Helped me a lot with schoolyard fights though.. Later I took TaeKwonDo and I was amazed at how little attention they paid to defense. I just tried to meld the two styles of combat.
This has to be one of the most professional and easy to understand boxing/sparring videos that I have ever seen . Great video , the coach is very experienced and knowledgeable .
Coach Frolov is an absolute specimen. He’s simply an exemplary boxer. He also clearly practices something else, probably Judo but I’m uncertain. From his footwork, to his ring positioning to his ability to control distance and time, it really is something else. God help you if you were to get into it with somebody THIS skilled. Just his Boxing alone could dismantle MANY Blackbelts in many styles. Muay Thai, Karate, BJJ, Jujitsu, Judo, Kung Fu… It would seem this man is the breathing example of practicing fundamentals until perfection. I’m awe struck. Wish I could train with him just once. He’s absolutely on that list.
My pop was always my boxing coach when I was competitive in mixed. He used to box... This footwork style is what I've always done my whole life... love it so much. We called it sliding or stitching footwork....
I was trained for a while by Boris Zykenov (1972 Soviet Olympic Team) - this guy reminds me of Boris. It's like Physical Chess with these guys. Great Trainers!
Not what I was expecting and pleasantly surprised, a different perspective on how a technique can be employed. Reading this as Pendulum I expected it to reflect something similar to Bruce Lee's JKD style, both are interesting ideas and I will try to incorporate this as well as the JKD application, as that relates to kicking mostly but has to do with movement. Thank you for this video! Sub'd
As a coach of a different sport, I found his coaching style really very interesting. I think learned quite a bit in watching & listening to him. Thank you.
The trainers bounce and footwork is so light and immaculate. You’d have no idea if you saw him in the streets that he could kill you. Reminds me of my muay thai kru. He wasn’t old, was in shape but looked like your regular dad. He had the NASTIEST kicks man 😂
had a trainer as a kid that ruined it for me so i started self training once youtube came along now i learn from the best like teddy and know this guy. For any kid out there thats going through a rough patch when it comes to trainers just remember its 2022 and if you have the work ethic and drive you can learn this stuff your self and learn it from some of the best to do it
Watched this video before I started training in a gym, but didn't understand much Now 2 weeks into my training, with a top cuban trainer I could recognize everything that was talked about. My trainer taught me the pendulum exactly this way 💯 Thank you for the awesome content
