For the longest I was doing the shoulder width stance and wondering why it wasn’t really workin for me. Switched up recently and it has made ALL the difference. Then I stumble across ur video which gave me even more confirmation on why it’s working for me. Thank u for the quality content coach! 🔥💪
I find people today are "running before they learn to walk"...Fundamentals and basics are the key to everything. All the tricks are "based" off of the "basics". I consider myself a true student to the game. Thank you for all the great content.
Both channels have their benefits. I like Precision's for it's inclusion of conditioning, like the "1100 punches" stuff. Coach Anthony's, is EXCLUSIVELY about different techniques, which is ALSO great. Can't go wrong with the combination of BOTH these guys.
I'm from Europe and I was taught to a) stand shoulder wide and b) that both my feet have to face forwards. I never felt comfortable this way and I always found myself "correcting" my stance every now and then since it was kinda unnatural for me. Now I see this... Thanks Coach! I wish I had the possibility to train with you. I recently discovered this channel and it's like all your stuff is gold. Even things I thought I knew might have been correct in one or another way... but the details man... the details... Keep it coming my man! Guys, don't share his videos. We need to keep this for us! Just kidding LOL... this dude deserves so much more attention...
I’m not a beginner, I’m a pretty good amateur boxer but still I like to watch these types of videos, because sometimes my trainers don’t even notice these mistakes. I usually find small mistakes in my stance and fundamentals because of this video - thanks!
You have to learn to walk before you can run, right? Love your philosophy. Lay your foundation, and take it slow. Understand the basics and master that first before you go on to the next step. Thanks for the video, Coach!
Great video coach. I’ve always boxed from a wide stance but recently been told to try box little bit more narrow. They said it’s easier to throw combinations. But it just doesn’t feel natural to me. I personally think it was me possibly taking too big of steps when moving so my balance was a bit off. I’m working on taking smaller steps but from a wide stance. Been boxing for a few years now but I’m trying to come back to the fundamentals.
My son is 6 years old and views your vids on the regular.... He says he wants to be like Canelo or Mike Tyson.... you explain, teach and show everything so easy. Thank you.
Rayoza its a comfort thing related to how your body is shaped. A longer guy, a smaller guy, a taller guy, a shorter guy, etc. not all of them will feel comfortable in a stance like that. You hope that they would and try to. But its not always gonna work out. And then a lot will come back to someones hip flexibility/strength
100%. Joe Louis said in one of his books that the old trainers emphasized comfort over strict format. Everyone is built a little different so to each his own
My footwork isn’t what it should be. I know I get more power when it’s right because I can hear it and feel it in my punches. It’s a journey that’s for sure!
Great video coach. I was shadow boxing while listening to this video and I caught myself with both feet on the same line. Everybody can benefit from strengthening their basics. Thanks!
most good boxers show different looks at different times. guys with a default wider stance, who can throw more then one good punch while backing up or off an angle change, usually don't hold the wide stance through those actions. It can also be of benefit to suck the back heel in a bit when you're dropping your weight and pulling across your body.... like throwing a quick level changes with punches, but not covering a lot of space initially.
I used to watch your channel when you first started and I was always a fan or a student of your teachings, I’ve learned a lot from you! Love and peace Coach 💯🙏🏼❤️
Thanks for this vid. Your use of the analogy of the house...as long as the foundation or fundamentals are strong, you can use almost any material and geometric shapes to build upon it.
A lot of people are put off on putting in work on the basics because they think it's easy. It's important to be aware while doing the basics and always thinking about it instead of mindlessly doing reps. Students of the game know this and it shows in the gym.
Thank you sir! Keep! It! Simple! Strikers! I just was trying to explain the difference of functionality & trading tools. Both can become Game plan to destroy adversary. One Team
I noticed watching on youtube yesterday Larry Holmes had a really narrow stance as he moved and he wasn`t slipping shots well, somebody mentioned Fury uses a narrow stance so that he can move quicker they were comparing it to Wilder`s stance which is far too wide but affords him more power.
Man i loooooovvvvveee these vids, i mainly taught myself a lot about boxing before i ever stepped in a real ring, but these vids help me sharpen up on everything, love it bro
Dam this video literally changed my view completely i fight regular just started and i do so many advance things but never started with basics and ikeep losing balance misplacing my feet when punching great stuff!! Thanks
@@Quellebreo373 Why not? He was supposed to be the next "Floyd" before he became his own worse enemy. I'm speakin' as a trainer and as someone who has in that cage and ring. Of course he isn't the caliber of boxer that Floyd is...but what I said about the stance is correct-- do your research.
@@dmandiola77 Right... a wider stance. Like Coach Anthony said, traditionally that isn't what you're taught when you first walk into a gym. HOwever, alot of the newer generation boxers have adopted a wider stance and of course Floyd has a wider stance as well. Some would say that is isn't "good the correct form"-- however, for some-- it has proven to be very effective.
@@TheMOTIV8Xperience Yeah I'm not discrediting the effectiveness of the wide stance, I try to have a wider stance myself. But I think the examples of @dmandiola are all better than Broner lol.
I'm a coach and have hear other trainers saying the shoulder width feet. I never knew what was 100% correct but always preferred the wider stance. From this video forward I'll be more vocal about it.
"Don´t skip the steps" That applies for any combat discipline and tomorrow morning I´ll try to widen the stance , I have more legs than torso so I feel more comfortable as you show it here though I was taught shoulder width.
Thank you so much for this video😁 🙏🏽I've been told that my stance was too wide and that I'll be faster if it was shorter. Well, I prefer to listen to you coach😉👊🏽
Coach have advice to better your RU-vid Chanel. In my opinion your videos can be categorized, for a good overview, on three maps: beginner, advanced and experienced. Or make categorized maps like footwork, condition training, hand speed.. etc
I gave the video a like as always and I get your point about the wide stance. I just think the stance width should change depending on what you do. For upper body movement, balance and power obviously your wider stance is better however for moving away cutting somebody off or footwork let's just say that shoulder width stance with the feet I believe is more beneficial. Thanks for another great video
I don't see any boxers from 1900-1960 having a wide stance. Plus if you stand wide, your hips will be working overtime. Straighter legs - less tired hips. Then of course, when you get on the inside, you need to stand wider for that stability and balance. But long/mid distance - hell no
Yeah they also practice segregation/Jim crow back then. World champion boxers were chain smokers, ppl thought whiskey was medicine. You wanna bring all that shit back too?
I personally prefer the wide stance. The reasoning for having the feet closer together is so that you are in range to throw the right cross right behind the jab.
Hey Coach, I was wondering if you could make a video based on how should tall people fight on the inside as well as drills to do when fighting smaller guys. I’m 6ft5 113kg
1:45 move in out 3:28 move in out 4:22 move in out 1:55 hips and thighs are shoulder with Not feet Feer should be little wider 3:40 footwork stepping mistake 4:20 on toes back foot 3:25 again 3:45 again 4:40 Don't skip steps foundations basic the most impprtant things
