Not gonna exaggerate, if you already know how to throw hands, this man is the best boxing coach on youtube. The attention to detail when it comes to body movement, and in particular the way he explains weight shifting is unreal. In this video again. That small jump straight up before the right cross is just money.
Right - I'm following along with him as he shows the boxer how to move and I can feel the difference immediately. On one video he commented about how the horizontal angle of your hip dictates how you throw punches, & knowing that, while practicing correct form helps me hold it together like super glue. I never knew why my punches felt so different at times until I became more conscious of that aspect. Like I would have stable footwork, an engaged core as well but knowing that about my hip line was *FIRE*
@UPPERCUT 101 Lmaooo noo bruh I've been looking everywhere. I think I saw it from an insta reel or something. I have to check through the countless ones I have on there
I feel like I am learning a totally different sport that actually works. Every time I watch his trainings I am like, "oh, that's why I couldn't do it 😬" His attention to detail is amazing. And I love the translation 😂
I had a trainer be straight up rude to me from the beginning. he made me feel like I was dumb instead of actually helping. I never quit but I did stop interacting with him. I don't even pay him. He just a random trainer thinking he helping. (which he probably is just not my style of trainer) Trainers like this man are cool and my type. Respectful kind and direct.
"Its better already because your right hand didnt start before your feet" That quote really helped me out and made me understand balance alot better. Thank you.
This teacher is more about fighting philosophy, than an insctructor of patterns. He is explaining not what to do, but how to do. Not WHAT to think, like a pattern. But equipping people with HOW to think. I think this way of teaching is AMAZING.
Even the “shape” and form of his body when he throws that right, suddenly looks like a pro after the trainer explains it. Correct body mechanics and technique will always trump sloppiness through speed.
I’ve watched many videos and never have I seen one explain this way of shifting your weight into your punch. Thank you so much for the beyond excellent tips.
@@SetanTolli I was about to say this exact same thing. If you ever learn more from a RU-vid video than you do at the gym you're training in then you're at the wrong gym entirely.
His attention to detail is nearly perfect. People should be studying this to keep the Soviet boxing systems alive, in order to preserve quality in boxing coaching
Pure Genius,,,the way this fine gentleman explains the basic fundamentals & more advanced techniques is second to none. Such an endless wealth of knowledge & experience.
Ive never physically boxed for long enough spells to be a proper athlete or that good in person, but ive always had a bit of an eye for these kind of things, motion, weight, energy. As well as coaching a wide variety of people and trying to find the best methods to train very subtle improvements, the best training method i have found, for boxing, same applies to other fighting sports) is no hand training. You can spar/heavy bag/pads, make it a game if you want. You just put your hands behind your back, and use your shoulders as your hands. Focus on using your footwork and body rotation for maximum power, speed, efficiency, and recovery. A very light effort dependant workout. You will soon feel your naural fighting idle potision to be a bit lower, your core more constantly engaged. Then when you add the punches, they become easy due to the body handling the propulsion, the power an increase with adding more of your bodies weight to the kinetic chain, better flush connection with positioning and elastiicity of the arms, try it
Im an amatuer boxer whos had tonnes of injuries, this turned me into a sparring partner, slow, plodding brawler. I am finally back fit and trying to drill skill and fluidity. These videos are perfect. Thank you!
He says to be in front of his back foot not his front foot, how does that work if you’re fighting a southpaw? … also I feel when sparring technicality sort of goes out the window when we a both “thick in the fight”.. does endurance, speed and strength eventually out match just a technical fighter? This is just out of curiosity.
@@BudgetGainsByJJ you are not wrong, that's why a lot of pros (outside boxing) struggle to fight southpaws, you have to change few things when facing a southpaw, for me it ain't really a problem because 1. I'm a stance switcher and 2. My main sparring partner is a southpaw so I'm used to fight them. And again you are right, the more you go on on a fight the more you tend to throw away techniques and become more sloppy, (I'm guilty of this till these days but trying to get better at it) only elite fighters can maintain their technique when tired, but is extremely difficult, that's why you tend to see elite fighters not getting tired at all, cause ain't nobody want to be in that situation😂💯 technical sparring is good for improving technique and confidence, also working on new things that you wouldn't normally try when competing, but hard sparring and conditioning is equally as important cause you need to get used to the feel of a real fight, cause if you don't you will most likely become a good example of what Mike tyson was talking about (evryone has a plan until they get punched in the face)😂 if you are not used to getting hit hard, cupple of hard shots will really shake you to the core, getting hit by a trained guy is not the same as getting hit by a ramdomer
I just discovered this channel and I’m already a fan. I’ve been boxing for around 2 years, but the way this guy explains everything is like I’m new to boxing, just insane amount of knowledge and details. Greetings from Mexico, you have a new subscriber.
Quite an amazing teacher. As others have mentioned, his explanations are so precise and practical. To see the student’s movements and understanding grow within those few minutes says so much to me. Thank you. Subscribed and looking forward to more lessons.
Shit I don’t even box but this made sense. The improvement was clear. Who would’ve ever thought that a minute detail like where your foot is pointed can change everything. This guy is like a king fu teacher.
The coach in this video keeps mentioning balance but the fighter tells him plainly in the beginning that he is not off balance. Generally speaking, if you cannot reach your opponent it's because your opponent is controlling range. Floyd Mayweather Jr. has done this in the past. He displays this very well in the Mayweather v Canelo and Mayweather v Guerrero fights. He simply steps out of range or he uses the pull/counter. (NOTE: Archie Moore was very good at using the pull/counter in the 1950's). Muhammad Ali was also very difficult to reach because he constantly stepped backwards while tilting his head away. A fighter's lateral movements also make it quite difficult to be hit. Now, since there's really no place to hide in the ring a fighter may have to be really aggressive and back his man up against the ropes or into the corner (and maybe cut the ring off against lateral movements). Or, rather than chase after the opponent, he can simply wait for the opponent to open up with a strike... and then strike him. Another interesting aspect of the video is that this coach has his fighters "hop" into their strikes. This expends little amounts of precious energy needlessly. And it can put a fighter at risk. Fighters should be stepping into their strikes not hopping or jumping into them.
Yeh I've watched many of this guys videos and agree with most of what he teaches. But this one I firmly disagree with. Why would you rotate both feet inwards at same time? If distance is the problem then work on better movement in terms of pivots and angle cutting, not hops and jumps. If I saw my opponent doing predictable jumps like that, I'd just time a hard 2 right as they're mid jump. When you're mid-air, you can't change your momentum or do much of anything really.
By hoping up he is able to generate power in his punches and stay balanced, compared when he just pushes forward he goes off balance like most US boxers do
Yeah. I think the lack of reach had nothing to do with balance. If anything, the fighter is intentionally stepping laterally, so the punch doesn't make contact. Also, in all martial arts, they will teach you to stay light on your feet when moving around but grounded when striking. You lose a significant amount of power whenever you hop while attacking.
Footwork matters in a fight, especially when fightin an opponent who is a few inches taller with longer reach. Doesn't matter whether it's boxing rules, competition karate, full contact karate, or a literally no rules fight, footwork matters. It's hard to teach every nuance too, depends on your body type and experience, but it can take thousands of hours of sparring before you master footwork within your sport's rules. For boxing, you gotta learn when to slip a jab or when to jam a hook punch so you can get inside and land your own shots too. For full contact/no rules karate, you need to know when to dodge a kick or when to jam a kick just so you can land a punch or two or else land your own kicks. I guess that's why pro fighters, even boxers, spend so much time working on legs strength so they have solid footwork.
The coach taught me in one video how to counterpunch with a basic step backwards in pendulum and then push forwards again with the leverage generated on the rear foot to strike with a 1-2. Evander Holyfield used to get inside the fireline of his opponents usually and stepped backwards right in time and countered pushing again inside with a cross. Similar, but i prefer the soviet way of doing it wich is countering with a 1-2. Perfect for agressive opponents that pressure, if you are an outboxer.
dude is so limber and balanced. his weight is totally centered always. these heady concepts are great objectives and get your mind/spirit involved beyond just your body.
Step forward deeper with the lead foot would allow him to reach but that punch will drop in height and will look very similar to how karate practitioner uses
Great video. Even with lots of footwork and jumping, the foot position keeps the balance and the movement adds strenght. Very diferent from my style (more 'planted'). Will add it to my own trainning.
I can't tell you how many kickboxing/MMA gyms teach you to throw your hands without setting your feet properly. This is why I think boxing has the most fundamentally sound mechanics of martial arts. We can get away with bad form in other styles because you cover it up with kicks, clinch and takedowns
In my observation based on their move, instead of jumping, it would be effecient to slide the lead leg forward its like stepping the lead leg forward for a jab, and push the rear leg forward to deliver the cross and instead of jumping forward, for that you deliver much power together the hip torque etc...
can someone explain what he's trying to say without using the "jump up" explanation? i don't believe you need to jump up (despite that being his thing), so i think the core message lies somewhere else. what's the actual core message without jumping up?
I believe the "jump up" is like when you're swinging a kettlebell. You're not muscling up the kettlebell with your arms and shoulders. You're using your hips and legs to generate upwards momentum to pop the kettlebell upwards. When throwing the right, this coach wants you to generate upwards momentum with your legs and hips, so you can get the weight off your feet(heels) and twist while throwing the right hand. The position of the front foot is like a stopper and prevents you from falling forwards. Very interesting...
GSP used to do something similar. He would lean back and place his front foot forward and appear like he's far away, and then leap in and land a jab. Great detail
It's so interesting comparing to Muay Thai. Exactly this felt so comfortable and natural to me, and I could always land my cross well. But when leg kicks were introduced you almost can't do this because you get kicked or tripped. If that's not a concern, take his advice because that cross feels so good and positions you really well for a proper range hook/bodyshot after. It was such a struggle trying to find a comparable way of getting that stability that still let me check a kick after, I'll always prefer this method of the one-two.
People are not taught now to step/leap jab, which closes the distance. You use your opposite stance foot to launch at the same time as throwing the jab , the kinetic chain starts at the launch foot ending at the jab.
As others said, its a best coach for people who know how to box, some of the stuff is amazing. the body movement mechanics knowledge his dropping is top
I was just watching a dude who studied boxing and a somewhat seasoned street fighter and watched the two box. While it was obvious the amateur boxer was using less energy, it was also obvious the street fighter's balance was atrocious- with every movement and every punch, every second looked like someone who was barely comfortable on their feet.
Funny thing is even kickboxers look like this sometimes. It's so funny seeing untrained people try to move around, they can get away with brawlers making them not look as bad but when you have a boxer with amazing footwork you're just simply not going to lay a finger on them
