My old coach always said “closing your eyes does not make the monsters disappear”. Still find that helpful years later.

A good defence can leave you opponent exhausted, confounded and out of ideas, allowing you to counter and outbox them. Underrated art

I can’t believe a youtube coach is teaching me more ab defense than my coaches 😭😭

Slow sparring and mitt work really helps with not closing your eyes, cuz your gonna be able to see punches and get used to seeing them. Also you can put your guard up, cover your face but look at the punches thru the guard, just tell your sparring partner to go easy.

That is pure gold. Seriously. Can't believe this shit is free. Thanks brother!

I’m a big MMA fan and boxing is my favorite martial art. A lot of MMA fans don’t realize that boxing is more than just punches. The footwork, head movement, angles, defense, etc is beautiful artwork in motion. Great video! 👍🏼

The is honestly the best boxing defense video I’ve ever seen. Really good content

Pay attention to Floyd Mayweather. More often than not, when he receives a blow, he does not close his eyes, but narrows them. While many eminent boxers close their eyes after receiving a blow. Because the basis of his fight, in my opinion, is perception. Thank you for your hard work, Health!

I threw a jab to the like button and i broke my screen... Thanks coach! 😂

Once you learn to move your feet while moving your hands, punching and defending, it's a different ball game.

This is epic, I love incorporating boxing drills and shadow boxing in my park workouts. THE best boxing channel, hands up.

Thank you so much for your vids homie. I joined a boxing gym about 3 or 4 months ago and am working on two months of complete sobriety from alcohol/opiates. Been eating clean, sleeping well and attending class more regularly and am much more enthusiastic. Your vids have been an incredible resource for us noobs out here. Appreciate it!

When we were kids my bro and I played the flinch game: at any random time if one of us flinched to a punch it was 2 shots to the arm. When I started boxing I already didn't flinch.

This man is extremely knowledgeable. I attended one of his seminars in London a few years back it was absolutely fantastic.

I love you so much bro. Thank you for all that you do for us. Really appreciated.

Great tips! Always like to rewatch this video. Thanks Coach!

My coach told me that squinting helps lessen the blink reflex and since I've been doing it I've had much less problem keeping my eyes on my opponent while being hit

I was taught in muay Thai to watch the chest. It helps me dehumanize the person an see feet an hands. Oddly I watched a couple mma fights an they are obsessed with eye contact.

I was outboxed in light sparring in my muay thai class yesterday, wich left me absolutely devastated and dejected because my boxing sucks so much whereas my kicks and everything else is just on point. This is the best advice i've seen through my research. Really opened my eyes, what kind of mistakes i was making and how to fix them. Great content, thank you so much!

shows up at first match: *EYES WIDE OPEN STARING MENACINGLY*

Defense is where it's at ! Thanks JT

So helpful dude, all my problems you explained in less than 12 mins. thank you so much

This video is absolute gold

Been watching you for years. Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you put in to this channel. A lot of invaluable info on here. Continue to and have learnt a lot from all your content. Thanks!

A pro I sparred with told me to grab behind my ear for single side blocks to the head. It allows you to see while still blocking if they double up turn to your blind side but still covers temple and chin. It's helped me a lot since. Love your content.

So, I am new in a gym where I am the only "newbie". First day, first time sparring was like torture. I wont give up. If the coach doesnt tell me what to do, even when I tell him that I am new, I learn it myself through this Gentleman right here and ask the coach next time for direct advice. Other members seem really respectful, so I get the oppurtinity to train and not getting badly hurt. Funny thing is, I dont regret it. Its like I lost all anxiety in life, except getting punched in sparring. Its really strange to feel absolute calm and only having one problem in life. Its really elevating. Nothing helped me more in life. edit for anyone who is unsure or is going through the same: still going! coach takes his time now, because I stayed after training asking questions. He told me that he didnt think I would stay and that I got better. that boosted my confidence a ton... sparring is one of the most fun things I have and had in my life. And yes, I have a bruised rib, but if I tell them "please no right hooks on the body", anyone will watch out for me. The most fun thing is, if you spar and watch THIS CHANNEL, it makes a lot more sense and you can even learn A TON. My true coach is you, mr!!! much love guys!!

Thanks coach, great content as usual

Extremely helpful, I’ve been teaching myself how to fight and skipped some defensive things I should have covered. I competed in a kickboxing tournament and was great on offense but terrible defensively, turning away and everything but never discouraged from that just looking to correct it and this helps tremendously. Thank you

I've started to incorporate these boxing drills into my defensive work. For me you are not a boxer until you can evade punches.

"If you Looking Down this is where you go" Thats a good one!

Outstanding video. Thank you for this.

Great that you also showed ways to get rid of the mistakes

Very good coach, always good to come back to fundamentals

Nice tips. Thank you!

Great content mate, thank you

Exactly the video I’ve been looking for. Thank you! I’ve been struggling with relaxing when I spar and this is definitely going to help

As I'm beginning to get better in boxing I start to understand that defense is not only my biggest weakness but also what is the hardest to learn. You punch, you slip, roll, move your head, even dance, but you have only small windows to properly practice taking punches. This video is reaaaaaally helpful mate, as it caters the fundamentals and helps you understand the logic. Cheers

Excellent tutorial. I am more than convinced that putting into practice your advice takes my boxing into a different level. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Excellent video coach

such amazing info !

So helpful 🥊 Thank you!

10:20 I was having problem to practice my shadowboxe and this just helped me a lot

I’m 20 yrs old no boxing experience just started 2 months ago I don’t have a problem with my offense or combinations with the mitts or punching bag , yesterday was my first day sparring against a pretty well rounded boxer who also had some good experience and and I knew I had to defend myself a little more harder even though he was going light on me because it was my first time but still like when the punches was coming at me I didn’t really know what to do , cause it’s like a natural instinct I tend to cover up with the gloves not really having a clear peripheral vision on my opponent and I was still moving but I felt myself gassing out within 20-30 second in to the first round which was 2 minute rounds , my legs was shot and felt like I was easily going down if he would’ve landed a easy cross or a hook , I do want to get back in the ring and spar , just wanted to know exactly what should I do for my conditioning and cardio to improve thanks

Absolute golden advice here. Thanks coach 🙏

Good mate. Thanks.

If there was a gym with a trainer like Jason around my town I would be a much happier man. Thanks for tha content Jason!

This man is a very good boxing teacher yo. I ain't go even lie, his techniques been helping my ass in the gym for real. If I became a successful boxer I'm sending him cash bruh. Thanks and much love homie.💪🏿❤

This helps a lot! It's hard to know what is a bad habit until it's said aloud. Thank you!

Excellent teaching, thank you!

The looking down was my biggest problem after my opponent starts going aggressive i tend to look down and block.. i still wanna change that habit

Get your grandma to put the gloves on! Nail it !!! Thanks for the content coach 👏

Amazing video, thank you

Very helpful drills and concise explanations. Thank you.

Very helpful! I feel I’m at a bit of a disadvantage not training mma until I turned 22. But being able to work on striking outside of the gym as well is gonna be a game changer! Your channel is amazing. I am definitely gonna drill these

Best boxing coach on the internet! Thank you for your lessons it’s perfect for me at 48 years old and want to just learn at home and for the love of the sport and you never know when you have to protect yourself someday. 🙏🏻

Very nice explained vid. appreciate it!

Thx for this content

For tip 1, the speed and cobra bags are GREAT pieces of equipment to get for tip 1.

Grandma still dropped me lmao

Such great advice.

thank you coach

That thumbnail made me laugh so hard lol 😂

My grandma is a body puncher, i cant take that risk..

Thank you VERY much for the "holding your breath" part!!! It's simple, but i hope it can help me with my short breath in sparring! Really, I haven't ever thought about this!

Thanks!

Concurring with everyone else commenting: namaste for this stuff!

I’m a slim built 6’0 157 with a 76 inch reach and naturally athletic I’ve been boxing for 6 months now and luckily I grew up watching the sport so I was ahead of most but thank you for the videos because my main focus as of now is defense because with my reach and speed my goal is to get into a position where my physical gifts and defensive skills make me very difficult to hit in-turn making it a lot easier to counter and destroy dudes from the outside

Thank you for this

HARDER FASTER SMATER jolie t shirt 😁

Whenever I'm Shadow Boxing I always start or end with a defensive maneuver

Top coach!!!! Keep them coming!!!! 🥊🥊

If you did virtual padwork with sugar ray leonard combos my head would litteraly explode

I have to watch this again and take notes. Thank you for the tips.

Such knowledge, so helpful! Thanks so much!

I love this human. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
