Boxing Stance (A step by step guide for Beginners) 

I am still waiting for the beat to drop .

I am 60 this year.. and just want to get fit and boxing will help me to do that as - it keeps exercise interesting. My coordination sucks.. and well I move awkwardly - so I do not do your fantastic teaching justice. However, I am excited to learn the basics as well as I can. Thanks for giving me inspiration to keep living.

these are definitely the best boxing tutorials on you tube !!

The music is triggering me

Started boxing, kickboxing and Muay Thai recently and trust me, this tutorial is da bomb. Thanks coach!

Thank you so much Mike. I am learning basic boxing skills from home thanks to you. God bless. (Ignore the negative comments, we can't satisfy everyone)

It seems many folks don't release that your shorts look like the Roman gladiator garb. Maybe due to the color . After all fighters are gladiators..

This Dude is Bad Asss, thanks.

That DR 5 beat machine hittin

Thanks for teaching😊😊😊

I've been using rear heel up in my boxing training for over a year. Felt there was/is nothing wrong with my stance. Another boxing coach or two on YT says all the great boxers have used rear feet down majority of their fights- this made me feel I've been standing wrong :(

Thanks for the tip. I became a pro boxer just now in my bed

Mannn this was perfect, I didn’t realize how lazy I was posting up at first

Hey boss, saw your reply in which you stated just to make a comment on any video and you would see, so here it is. Saw your message on Instagram about how you used your gopro but were afraid it was make people nauseated. Best I can recommend is when you try again just tone the pace down. Have you and your partner go at a slower more technical pace and that may help. Like I said I affixed mine to the forehead part of my head gear and the only problems I had was it overheating and also because of the way my head gear was shaped the gopro was angled up a good bit and even with chin down I felt it wasn't ideal. So I made a small cushion to go behind the gopro and put it between the cam near the top and the head gear so that it was cause it to tilt down a little. Your head gear may not require that however, just sharing incase. I normally shot my video at 720, 60fps that was it was smooth, not sure which gopro you have but if it has a 60fps setting I advise using that. In terms of other ideas I have two. For one, not sure if you remember but I had asked if you do personal training and since you dont anymore and I wont get a chance to work with you when I visit CA this fall I was wondering if you would be open to the idea of a training session online, via skype for example. Me and Shane Fazen had a few before he got really busy and was unable to due to his schedule and we actually got in some good work if even simulated in a shadow boxing capacity. We worked on thins like reaction drills and what not, if interested I can go into further detail, just advise and of course I have zero problems paying for your time and input. Second idea is virtual boxing. This was also something Shane, JT and a few others have done and granted I know you said you didn't want to be influenced by their content but it is something that people seem to really enjoy and your boxing style is obviously different so I think that is something you should consider. Basically they would get in boxing gear, and box the webcam as if it was an actual opponent. While you throw punches at your cam the viewers would work on reacting accordingly in terms of defense and then go offensive when you are not punching. Much like a video game in a sense. It allows them to put things together in a sense in a controlled environment. An example video from JT ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MT_8PcCc-Bk.html If any of these ideas interest you feel free to shoot me an email at PortCityPhoenix@gmail.com and if you want to do a test run that would certainly be cool and would allow us to do some of that one on one skype training. I am trained, have boxed for a few years locally but could always learn more and I have had many virtual boxing matches with Shane, now I want a title shot at you. Haha. Be safe and let me know champ.

I have a tournament after 4 months great I'm back here.

Give this pug a thousand more views for 100K! 👊 Very instructive!

Nice video thankssss

excelent video

Thank you good sir Bear Grylls.

a very good detailed explanation

Thanks for making this so plain. It helped a lot 👌🏾

Bro you're giving good advice and I can tell you know what you're doing. Because I seen this Ol Head whoop the shit out of some young dudes one time in this same stance. After that I was intrigued so I asked him to train me. My first week he taught me everything you just showed on this video. Make a long story short I'm way more fluent at fighting and sparring now. I'm not Mayweather good but I bet I can bang with the best of them.

I watched every video from this playlist then i tryed them to see how much i remember and if i forget i watch them again but even so my movement and coordination needs work then i willmove on to the next move shown😅

Force ---- Mass/Acceleration got it

Yr amazing thks man

i definitely subscribed to this excellent videos all of them

My stronger more powerful arm is my right arm but my power leg is my left leg. What should I do?

Great video for beginners, nice and thoroughly explained.

Thanks for this, we'll be reopening our boxing club at school, this would be a great reference.

Whats up with your shorts, bro.

Most underrated boxing tutorials out there! Love the videos man keep em coming

brilliant video,

Love the tips and love the skirt!😅

Cool tutorial...cool shorts 👍

Love this it’s a great one.

great videos, after watching them i fee like i can do this

Yes!👊

Thank you!!!!!

Great video thank you

good stance

hey man awesome video bro is there any way that you could repost this without the music it is so good but the music is just a little loud...thx awesome vid!!!!!

Amazing video! Only issue would be the sound effects, its almost like clanking trash cans. Your voice is more engaging and important than noise. No need for any sound effects.

I'm right handed, but usually box on traditional stance as a southpaw and change stances to confuse my opponent and pace the fight. What are your toughts on the low lead hand guard on southpaws? I can use it comfortably on orthodox stance, but can't get the hang of it as a south.

Good videos, keem em coming. Just one thing, what's up with those weird shorts? :D

I love this break-it-down basics series! I’m a big-time (overweight ex-athlete who just got, lazy, busy?) beginner to shadow boxing & I’ve learned so much from this series alone. I like how each video shows how to do each move/punch properly & EFFECTIVELY. Kn just a few weeks, I’m creating my own workout sessions, thanks to this how-to series. Great stuff!! I was confused about the footwork/stance for a while, but that’s cleared up. Thank you!! 😃💪🏼🥊 So motivated to keep learning this totally new-to-me sport.

perfect thank you

Ace hardware wants their umbrella back!

I've done karate and hopefully I won't have too many bad habits

Inspired by XXXTENTACION🖤💯🥊 #LLJ🕊

Damn im kinda confused which stance im gonna take, because I was born left handed and my teachers taught me to be right handed, and now I can use both hands which confuses me which one to use

@Fight your way Fit Need your advice. I'm reading a Mark Hatmaker book on techniques, and he suggests fighting with your dominant hand in front. This is totally opposite of everything I've learned, but I tried it and my jab is a lot more powerful. I also found it easier to circle to opponent's left side while I throw my jab. I'm a southpaw so I thought it was to my advantage to fight from southpaw stance, but now I don't know. Is there an advantage to a southpaw fighting from an orthodox stance? Opinion?

Can you do one for South Paw ?

Dope!

Sparring also bob and weave and combos

Good old Textbook Guard

So basicly,by puting the strong arm behind, not only Will give you more power when you used it, but to put the muscle in reserve,when the ITS time to used it, we have enough power to knock down the aponent. But if we used it to many time, it Will make the muscle weekend for to much used during a fight Does that make sense??

great video but what's with the skirt?

There's a weird thing that I'm a right handed but I feel comfortable in left handed position and my knees hurt in right hand position stance ...can you please guide me ?

yeah for sure man no worries don't mean to beat a dead Bush man but what if we just reloaded it without the music and just called it boxing stance for beginners part one without the music anywho just a thought really good video that's all thanks for your help

I have a question some people says shoulders down cause the strikes are faster and not telegrafic is it true? I dont disagree with your way i want to find the most apotelesmatic

The lead hand down stance seems to offer better leverage off your hips for dips and weaves, aka Mayweather. Is this true? Great vids 👍

Hello, Mike. I notice that when shadow boxing, or whenever in the proper boxing stance, I always finish my workouts with my neck feeling strained. Due to your explanation (very concise and instructive, I might add), what I get is that the neck should be "hunched" and the shoulders "shrugged". Is my neck pain "normal"? I am really enjoying these videos! Many thanks :)

Great video , easy to follow. Question on stance, when you mention legs wider than your shoulders, do you mean vertical or horizontal more wide ? i guess what i mean is have my legs spread more apart side to side than my shoulders or more front to back spread apart from my shoulder width ? thanks

Bro looks like an action figure

A late question but i don't know which stance i must use because i don't know with which arm is stronger

The fuckin music is drivin me nuts

Well done video. BTW, your text misspelled "heel" as "heal" at 5:37. Maybe elsewhere too, but that's the one I noticed.

hey :) I noticed that I lose balance a bit in my stance when I'm stationary, my feet width and back is straight but if I sink my weight down then I kinda fall off balance if someone pushes me. what can I do to prevent this?

I need training tips for the summer

Can you please make video on how to fill a punching bag With what material And how should the base be filled With sand or clothes? Please help me out

Is this peek a boo stance? Imma still new...

Great tutorial but holy shit this beat is giving me an aneurysm.

great video, very informative. plz clarify one thing, when stepping forward, backwards or sideways, do we land on our heels or the ball of the foot, thanks

1:09 maximum effort!

Are you allowed to face your gloves outwardly and try to use to parry and block incoming punches?

With the 90 degree angle part its confusing

I need to install a subwoofer. Hearing all treble and no bass

Hi, I have a question, should I tense up my shoulder or keep it relaxed?

Sir u don't say about heel to toe line

I want to learn boxing online

What are you wearing on your lower body?

he is doing maths

How do I move faster when my postures this way

Are bhaiyajii kaccha kaha se liya hai?

My trainer has me bending my legs a good amount, and also has me put the majority of my weight on my back foot, otherwise, i tend to be leaning forward too much in my boxing stance. Are doing these 2 things correct? My rear quad is on FIRE 5 minutes into drilling. Does this mean I'm bending my legs too much? Or does this mean my legs just aren't strong enough?

wtf everyone teaches differently, my ufc gym coach tought completely different and in my mind i was like this cant be right

great videos.. best out there. Question... where can I get hand wrap and what kind? Also do I need a boxing glove to punch a heavyweight bag or is that wrap sufficient? thx !! (im new into boxing but want to get into it and love training like one :) )

Also another question, regarding weight distribution, on what leg should one place the weight or 50/50?

1:55 rob gronk?

what if I lead with my right foot and jab and throw power punches with my right hand any tips

So when moving to your opponent you want to only move 1 leg at a time to maintain balance if struck? Great demonstration by the way.

What about training both sides? Orthodox and southpaw?

What if we kept our front heal little up ?
