I had my first fight at 12 yrs. old and fought all the way till I was 25. 2 golden glove titles 2 state and 1 Australian title. I'm now 34 and long retired due to a slipped disc in my lower back and my left-hand index knuckle has completely sunk in from breaking it twice. Just writing that to say I know the sport well and I gotta say your movement is on point and everything you have said in this video is on point! All the best.
appreciate you brother!!! sorry to hear about your injuries!!! i really hope they have healed so that you can have a joyful life!!! keep active and i wish you nothing but blessings to you and yours brother!!!

As a Muay Thai practitioner, my training regiment is near identical to that of a boxer- and I truly believe that it gives me an edge. Love the content man, got yourself a new subscriber.
Me personally? My style would be more Muay Thai/Boran, French Kickboxing, Judo, BJJ, Escrima, Krav Maga, Wing Chun, and Northern Shaolin. Plus, you absolutely right, along with jogging, treadmill, pull ups, incline dumbbells bench press , kettlebell swings, bicycle curls, etc. But stretch for 10 minutes before any of this💯💯💯💯
This is the most realistic traning/demonstration on RU-vid. If you are starting and want to get serious, save this tips. Can't believe don't have a massive like and coments but it will. Thanks for the good work.
@@frr212 it depends on where your at in your training, don't you think? This very good info for beginners to intermediate, to have an understanding of the craft they might be entering. When I boxed they just threw me in I had no understanding of the bad habits I was forming, granted I understand that each boxing is different.
@@ladsd679 Alas, no more. I stopped teaching group classes after Covid. My school at the time was run out of Fitness First gym in Arlington, MA. I teach a few students a couple of times a week out of my garage gym. At almost 60 yo I’m focusing more on my own fitness while protecting my joints for playing in my band.
As a 200 pounder this footwork is so motivating. When I watch my peers we tend to just “survive” moving forward but man I want to be that big guy that’s moving and shaking. Confusing the shit out of my opponent. I can move but it takes so much energy after a while. And my jump rope is horrible.
200pound is still pretty light, you can be as fast as you train to be, go get it! Sincerely 264 pounder that wishes to be the fast big guy, im also getting there ;)
I started boxing to lose weight & learn self defense.. at 346lb.. I fell in love with movement & I noticed the more I moved around.. the better I felt & longer I can breath without running out of wind.. Pain Is Inevitable but Suffering Is Optional.. after 3 - 5 years (I lost count of time because I didn’t care how long it would take) I am at 230lb & my speed shocks my gym partners & sparring partners all the time when we train.. I don’t mean to brag but it’s the truth.. they do not expect someone my size to move just as fast as the lightweights.. my height is 182cm so it might look confusing to some.. but what you see in the video is exactly what I do everyday in the gym.. fall in love with movement.. it is much better than to force yourself to move
Lost my leg, need to learn this stuff all over again. What was once natural is now one of the hardest things I can attempt. Thanks for making videos like this... The verbal coaching is what helps the most. Been boxing for nearly 30 years, and right now it's like none of that ever happened... but the verbal... Man, that helps. Keeps me motivated as fuck. THANK YOU.
Stay strong my friend, Im a dancer who just happened upon this video and I cant imagine my mind state if I was in your position, I hope wherever you are you are continuing your journey and Im praying for you 🙏
What you said about jogging/running is very true. Drives me insane when people think you don’t need it. It’s extremely good for mind strengthening as you mentioned. Great videos mate.
Not to mention, if somebody can't last jogging for 15 minutes how do they expect to fight in a 5 round boxing match? I know there are breaks between rounds but stamina goes out the window real fast and comes back a lot slower if you're not trained properly. I say this from experience 🤣
@@ti2218 Well you gotta train both aerobic (runs) and anaerobic (sprints)stamina/endurance. You need both as a fighter but mostly anaerobic. Especially in MMA where you are fighting either 15 mins or 25 mins. So why would you run 10k for 40 minutes+? Makes no sense. It's better to push for more kms in 25 minutes which is way more efficient for an MMA fight.
Agree, I sucked at running for a long time and the army broke my mind almost and pushed my mental to another level. Shit it still hurts to run but I love the hurt so much more
I like everything. But I don't agree with that you need to jog , I am a pro boxer 7 and 0 mid America champ and i havnt jogged miles since my 3rd fight. It hurts my knees and I did not get any benifit from it cardio wise that I could noticed in sparring , I got way better results from interval training on the bike and bag cardio drills using way less time 🤷🏿♂️ it's just FACT for me
When I first got into martial arts, I quickly learned that legends are great because they've mastered the fundamentals. Elementary principles like "footwork" are pivotal building-blocks that should never be skipped but embraced to truly achieve greatness.
I've been bodybuiding and lifting heavy weights for 20 years, the last two years i've completely changed my philosophy about trainimg and somewhat about life, so I decided to drop some weight and completely change my way of training ( I was about 100kg at 183cm and now I'm down to 88).I Started jumping rope (and that's probably what I'm the best at so far) because I wanted to learn how and also for the cardio but it evolved with me trying to learn boxing, I joined a boxing gym but unfortunately mostly train alone because my work schedule don't allow me to take classes.. My goal is to learn to move like you, you look like a cat when they are fighting, I like to watch and try to copy the moves but it is actually pretty hard :)
appreciate your feedback brother!!! just keep training hard!!! and if possible, please do keep me updated wit your journey!!! happy holidays brother!!!
Your focus during this training and informational video is inspiring! I trained boxing when i was younger and the discipline you show really takes me back.
Your badass bro! I mean that in my heart! Just watching this short video gives me inspiration to go out and start training. I’m 44 years old and not a young man anymore, but again it gives me inspiration and motivation. Keep up the good work and your podcast Chez!!
Great video. I remember when i started boxin back in 93 in Chicago my trainer DIDN'T allow us to throw a punch or hit the bag for 3 months. He wanted us to learn footwork 1st & then everything fell into place. Footwork is KEY
I can see you dancing to the rhythm of your heartbeat, bro. Beautiful footwork. I love when high-level strikers equate good foot movement to dancing. Martial arts and dance are delightfully symbiotic. Two sides of the same coin.
This fighter moves like Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed. I was reminded of their training montage in Rocky III watching this. GREAT foot work and movement. IF you're not a professional boxer and you want to be, go after it. You'll do very well. 🇺🇸 💪
I really love your content mate, the videos are so simple, no annnoying intros or music just simple, straight to point and one camera angle. I much prefer this content over over edited and complicated videos. Please keep your content like this it’s great as it is 💪🏻 Also really inspires me to work harder in my boxing
Massive salutes n respects to Chez , great work n appreciate sharing these tips w everyone on RU-vid as well…greetings from Rome Italy, n our entire Italian rugby national team….👋🏻🇮🇹
These exercises are good for most sports when it comes to staying bouncing and light on the feet. Helps with proper footwork, basketball for me. Nice work!!
Opened a gym during covid, and my coach moved away. Now that things are getting back to normal, I’ll be taking over as the gym’s future coach. Will definitely use a lot of content like this to implement. Awesome content. Just subscribed
This is honestly one of the best boxing videos I have ever seen! Nobody else on, RU-vid has stress the importance of being light on your feet and just moving. No drills no agility ladders just freaking move.
Smashed the like, & hit subscribe ‼️Thank you for both the training advice and the humble attitude!! It’s rare when someone doesn’t have to throw their ego into the mix and much respected!! I can’t wait for more content!!
Alot of people throw that term around when it doesnt really apply to where they are at...In this case brother, It Does apply.... a masterful demonstration ...your fluidity, speed and grace of movement is testimony to the hard work you have put in.... Boxing trainer and martial artist here..46yrs experience.
Chez you're one bad dude thank you for these golden tips, I can't wait to train them and apply it, appreciate the knowledge and experience! definitely gained a new subscriber!
One of the best Martial arts channels on youtube, how you only have 16k subs is unbelievable. ive learnt so much from your channels and i love there is still someone out there preaching old school training, too many 'Hi tech' coaches over complicating things. keep it up brother god bless
Sugar Ray Robertson, look up his dance videos..Ali got most of his inspiration from Robertson. As Ali said, Pound for pound the greatest..Insane footwork..You my friend have exceptional footwork.. Every one should watch ( Sugar Ray Robinson - 128-1 - P4P The Greatest (Original Documentary) .
I wanted to say.i did bear crawls for 3 days .I never felt any excercise make me feel my whole upper body.like bear crawls does . thanks bro for adding your guidance to my workout.i hope you see this message.also here my workout routines. I take 1 day break after a workout. 1:160 push ups( different variations) 2:150 bench press ups 3: 250 Hindu squats.(partly because they were done by great Gama wrestler.whom I admire a lot) 4:few minutes hanging 5: 16 biceps pull ups 6: 40 dips I only lack in jogging as I hate doing it.
i love the great gama!!! there was a time where i was doing 500 squats and 500 pushups everyday as a warmup because of gama!!! it would be 10 sets of 50 squats followed by 50 pushups. then i would do my freestyle calisthenics stuff right after. if you like this high rep wrestler bodyweight work, you should look into karl gotch. he was a beast. also ric flair. he had crazy bodyweight workouts for when he stayed i hotels
Brother you are Insane. And these videos are totally fire.🔥Short and straight to the point. Some things which you teach are very fresh and original and I haven't heard them anywhere else. Would really like to see more and more videos coming from you. Maybe you can start a video playlist series in which you can start to teach from the very beginning. Lets say a total novice. I want to learn boxing but don't have any trainer in my area. Maybe if you can start a series Starting with basic movements and exercises which one need to master in starting their journey of boxing. Love from India.❤💪
You an inspiration brother. love the tattoos. Been boxing for about 2-3 years. Started off at 154 but now am around 170lbs, 6’3 in height. Run 3 miles 4-5 times a week. But staying light on my feet is difficult for me, i feel heavy when jump roping and dancing as i shadowbox or fight. You got any tips or reasons on why this is? No shame in taking advice from veterans
@@MM-dz5ly power and speed are definitely genetic. You can improve your speed and power through training and technique, but your genetics definitely play a role in your natural ability
You put running into perspective thank you. I’m former military and running was something I hated, but I want to get into boxing again and know I have to do it. You said fights are long and grueling, so I gotta train my heart. I felt that; New sub incoming.
I just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me to do good in shadow boxing. Heavy bag and Shadow boxing are the least things that I wanted to do when I go to the gym. But now, these are my favorite. My feet are so much lighter now. I can do pivots and angles without dragging my feet (it just flows).
I think moving around or just dancing is the best teacher if you trying to work on footwork or also play other sports like basketball and soccer it helped me get to know my body more.
Great work Chez. I’m sure the path you took was rough and I know you had to go through what you have to become who you u are. I’m sure God has his hands over you and needs you. Being said. I think your time to rise is now. You can use all your street wisdom to teach and educate kids going the wrong direction. These videos are some of the best. You should reach out and contact the school districts and tell them you’d like to teach a boxing class for kids or something? These teaching should be shown all over brother. Thank you for sharing.
