If you're intelligent, you'll quickly realize how powerful feints are, and incorporate them into every move. It can be as small as a milisecond, a slight flick of the wrist, eye movement. I love your statement: "if you're not punching, you should ve feinting"
I have boxed for a couple of months now, and from sparring a bunch it’s almost instinct to feint all the time in order to get an reaction and figure my opponent out
@@danielakbari3447 Tyson Fury is great at this, but look at how Ngannou didn't react to the feints at all. That's the danger - when you meet someone who just walks you down despite all the effort you make to feint
I really enjoy your videos Fran. Im 43 and take a boxing cardio class thats taught by a Muay thai type young person. Its only once a week, which i know isnt anything, but i try and use what is watched here. Thanks again.
I knew about feints but you opened my mind for new ideas in my game, I also heard somewhere that to realy sell the feint its good to hurt atleast once with specific punch you gone feint, like stab few times with jab to body then pretend and hook to head
I have been doing a lot of work with my students with feints recently. Thankyou for this video I will use some of the techniques at training tonight. One of my favourite boxing quotes I believe was from Andre ward who said “some people think the most important punch in boxing is the Jab, I believe it is the feint” this quote jas resonated with me for some time. Thankyou coach you teach so well.
Another outstanding video coach! Your mention close range is all about feeling with arms, this is the same idea in tui shou & chi sao training in tai chi chuan, wing chun and many other martial art, i.e kaike in Shorin ryu Karate. The prime example in boxing is Roberto "Stone hands" Durán. I'll love you make a video on the "secret" art of the infighting in boxing. Keep rolling your amazing videos there are authentic wisdom gems!
For a variant on the low feint, high screw punch combo, see the end of pazienza-rosenblatt 1 (not the rematch) or see the end of pazienza v melvin paul
I been doing boxing all my life and l am very hard to impress. But this British dude is really really good, a great teacher with so much superb material
Great video Fran! I just want to know how you would use slip feints. Would you for example slip left and fire a right hook as it might create an opening on the right flank or slip left and attack their centre, or both? Would really like to know
This was a great tutorial thanks for sharing. I haven’t see much on faints and they’re not as in-depth, such as what you should be thinking when using faints. Could you recommend boxers/fights to watch for great faints at work?
Frans, would you recommend training for if the aggressive fighter responds in combination? So, training to feint to trigger the jab from them, defend, and counter. But then also training to feint and have them respond with a 1-2 or even a 1-2-3. So, feint to trigger those combos, defend, and counter. Thoughts?
What you say makes sense. The point of a faint is to discover a pattern. Faint a few times the same way and see if you recognize a pattern in the response. That response could be a jab or a 1 2 3. Once you have the response down, faint, wait for the response and counter.
The other reply is a good one. Additionally, if that pattern is multiple shots in response - trigger, defent attack (with one good shot) then shift position. Once they've eaten a few of them they'll be wanting to change their combo response 👍
@@TheLockon00 I think he's saying strangle or stop the combo. Defend the first shot and then throw a hard shot back to halt the combo... Then exit / reset.
