I think this is great advice. Don’t forget boys. You don’t have to start at your goal. If your goal is to shadow box one hour a day. Start with 10 mins a day, then 15 mins, 20 mins. You get a confidence boost everyday you do just a little more and you will be at an hour in no time. Beauty of life is that it doesn’t matter where you start, only matters that you don’t give up. Thanks for the great tip coach! Peace.
@@apnea4905 for shadow boxing and footwork to really get started and be able to shadow box with good form and train good form from the start, look up “ Mike Rashaid beginners boxing ep 1 “ he gives out amazing fundamentals about hip rotation, which hand you jab with, all the fundamentals. Watch and learn with him and then continue to train on your own. He’s a amazing
@@Leprutz Just keep at it and check your stamina in 7 days period of time you'll see the difference. The point is no relenting even when all your muscles and body tell you to
@@Leprutz shadow boxing builds your muscles too if you do it hard as it.reauires your own force to stop, unlike the energies being halted by a punching bag.
When I started kick boxing back in 1983, my sensei John Rosas Jr. didn't have us do anything for the first month or two except workout and learn basic striking facing a wall of mirrors. Form was the most important fundamental, then flexibility and strength. Then we started very light training drills and light sparring and eventually, those who could take it had to be invited to join the full contact training. People watch professionals fight and never stop to think of the time and dedication it took to get them to that point. There are no short cuts. That's tougher to understand the older someone is when they start training :)
@@tattoodrdokemy lord I took a muay thai class for free and i almost passed out I swear hitting the gym for 3 hours is easier than a 30 min lesson hahahah but i loved it the trainer who apparently was 24-0 offered me free personal lessons but I never went back
That running or jogging really does build heart. I remember last when I was jogging pushing that pain and fatigue while hard was so fun. I recommend for every jogger or runner that's starting out when your on your last drop in the tank, dig deep dig as deep as you muster and just push through even foran extra second. just one second of breaking past your limits is so powerful. Much love.
Lol that’s what’s up bc I’m not running even if something was chasing me 😂 But I’ll do the shadow boxing for sure. I’ve played enough sports to know that I have great will power AND that I hate running 😂
@@TinToeTimmyTime not a great mindset to have, the whole idea is to break out your comfort zone to build that mental strength which will train your ability to remain disciplined and consistent in anything you do.
Stumbled on this video, and I like the emphasis on avoiding outside stimulation, keeping things sharp, staying mentally focused, and doing it by the heart. I think this can apply to a lot of things in life; I definitely gotta try this with running in the morning atleast
How's it going. I'm an older guy and just starting out. I got jumped and beat a few weeks back, didn't even know how to throw a punch or defend myself. I know I will end up seeing them again so need to make a start. How is it going.
@@megmucklebones7538 get a firearm dude. Avoid confrontation and use it as a last resort. Boxing is an organized sport. The streets have no rules. Plus you got jumped. You can't box everyone at the same time.
@@rickphilly1975 lol, I'm in the UK. And my issue was that I didn't let my hands go, I could smack him first as I was at work, stopping him and two others walking out with baskets of goods. I no longer work in that job. If I had crunched him first, everything would be fine. I disagree, leaning how to throw punches, be cardio ready and being able to avoid being hit is a huge advantage to anyone. Of course, know when it's about to happen and know when it's time to run.
Preach! This was exactly what my trainer told me back in the day and i'm still doing it till this day for the last decade even after i'm not a boxer anymore. Thanks for sharing this to the rest of the world💪
It's funny how you always hear the phrase "you can't teach heart" implying that you're naturally born with it. One is not born with it nor is it taught, it is trained. I needed this motivation bro. I've been out of shape for over 2 years now and need to get back in the groove. Starting this tomorrow.
Good luck bro, I started my get back in shape through boxing journey about two months ago. Haven't lost a damn pound because my eating habits ain't there yet. But I've gotten faster, stronger, more confident, and can throw some mean punches while having good form and fundamentals.
@@codycox2685 Damn, at least you've made some progress in many areas. Weight in itself isn't always an indicator of how good in shape you are. You might be heavy but muscular. What program do you follow? I want to do the shadow boxing and running to get started and lose some weight. I want to replace my diet with good food so I can burn the damn excess fat right now. Keep working hard bro.
Wow, I thought it's going to be others video that jump into very detailed and well programed training. This is actually the truth. Most beginners don't even have that mental strength to grinding their body to the hell and back. Very simple move and tools are what beginners need! People now days just made exercise science rocket complicated. Keep it on mate!
Same for me brother but in sweden im 19 yrs tryna figure out more and more tips and tricks on how to step my game up for my students and for my boxclub. And this was great advice for me
You are absolutely right. The breathing part, mentally, in tough situations is more than people know. Gassing out after 1-2 mins, like a street fight, is not being in shape. Great video & explanation 🤘🏽
MAN…. I had to learn this on my own. It took me five years to learn this was the basics for me, FIVE YEARS. I got it though, I had to learn on my own. It is definitely a Mental Game. When my father passed away, Monday, December 27, 2021, I became depressed and stoped training just eating. When I came out the depression and was 227 pounds, I was still able to work my routine by the grace of God. He never forgot about me, he keeps me fighting.
I get your point but say you do this as a beginner for 3 months, you've potentially got 135 hours of bad habits you now have to unlearn from the shadowboxing. Not putting it down just my thoughts
Thank you so much man I’ve been struggling for years on how to build a boxing routine and I’ve always just overtrained or was never consistent because I’d have all these other exercises I will start trying this
Great points! Keepn' it simple. Many want to get flashy and fancy with it but forget it's a combat sport. Get the basics first. All else will follow. Thanks for posting, you're helping me a ton.
I’m so glad I’ve found your channel dude. I’ve been feeling stale on the punchbag lately, shadowboxed last night for the first time in years and what a workout 🤙
Just started my boxing journey. Been running at least 2 miles a day but this video makes me want to do it without music. My coach already has me sparring in the ring but I get too in my head about things… I think focusing on shadow boxing consistently will help me. Great content! Thank you!
I love this. Been in hand to hand combat for more than half my life. I never use headphones. I always focus on my breath & I go for that throw up feeling. Lol but I don’t get that at all anymore. That mental will power is built & bred within for sure. Takes years to get it down solid. I do Muay Thai/kickboxing now. This is where I found my passion. I’ve done boxing, kung fu, & wing Chun as well… but Muay Thai is where I’ve found my heart. Thank you for your videos. & what you talk about, you know, I know you know. After the 3rd round body is shot… but the heart is what takes you through the next 9 rounds. Stay blessed brother, all love. 🙏🏼💯🕯️🏁🤜🏼🤛🏼
Sounds pretty good. I just wonder, if you do 2 months 1 hour/day worth of unsupervised shadowboxing as a beginner, you might build A LOT of bad habits that have to be corrected later. But I guess if it's to be seen as a preparation before the "first training", it will still give you a gigantic head start since with some practice you can get rid of these errors
This is so true the heart is what keeps us going in the fight knowing that we will win and not even think of giving up and see everything we have in mind to the end
Thank you for you Tipps👍🏼 I've started getting in shape again. Your videos motivate me. I Hope for more videos about conditioning training and tips to be good at sparring💪🏼Sparring ist very Important to Improve the Skills
Thank you for this, def about to start doing this as my routine. The jogging of is going to be tough as I work nights and Colorado has been getting a lot of snow but I'm going to make this a thing.
I like your technique for shadow boxing, seems very good because just throwing it all to full punches actually strains my body quite a bit when theres no impact to stop the momentum.. Imma do this shit as a workout at times 😎 my neck is kinda fucked rn tho so everything is baby steps untill its completely healed Thanks for this extra tool for training!
Greatest advice I have ever received is not listing to music while working out. Thank you sir for opening my eyes & I'm 100% sure it will increase my focus.
You are the true definition of a smart fighter...amazing channel, came for the boxing subscribed because of you amazing breakdown of the psychological aspect of combat sports. Well done can't wait to see more from your channel, although no pressure, we all have our lives our there.
This guy is a Beast And I've seen him suggest some crazy advanced routines But He is dead on with this one 🎯 Not only for beginners but for anyone at any stage 💯
I want to thank you for all the tips and advice I've been sticking to every single one of your routines. I also want to applaud you for being a great person and being authentic no fake stuff just for views people really notice that like myself.
As a total beginner I just have to raise the concern, won't shadowboxing without knowing (no form) what I'm doing teach me bad habits that will be hard to forget later?
Yes. Shadow box for an hour and a half every day without any lessons on proper form and technique. That way you develop bad boxing habits right out of the gate.
question: what to train in the shadow boxing sessions? I am trying to do a jab => stright => low kick for combo. Simple side steps with an uppercut as a counter. and maybe some footwork exercises that I need to know.
Thank you so much brother, I want to get better a boxing, I am 15 and I am very bad at boxing but its something every MAN should learn so I will go down this route to be able to stay confident and I may have a potential career but as for now I need to learn
This really hit my heart my bro. Please do keep in touch and let me know how your training journey is going!!! You are the very first of my subs and I will never forget!!! Thank you!!!
Ive been boxing/training for around 13 years and i have to agree with everything in This video and i like how you kept it simple yet focusing on exactly what a beginner boxer should be doing. I always heard the old saying that boxing is 90% mental -10% physical and that is very true. The only thing i would do differently is for the shadowboxing i would first teach a stance and jab then straight right/left ( depending on southpaw or orthodox )then lead hook and show the beginner how to put it in combos and while shadowboxing mix and match punches into combos. As the beginner shadowboxes they can ingrain basic fundementals . But i agree with you all the way. This is exactly how im starting my son. Roadwork/shadowboxing for 1st 2 months. I never put thought into not having music or headphones on, after watching this video it makes sense. Thankyou and God bless
I didnt knew you before you popped up on my feed and i thank God for discovering your channel. I love your vibe so much and i'm definitely gonna do this, so many shit is going in my life so i love hitting the boxing bag since it helps me exteriorating it all, but i'll definitely do it for 2 months and i'll stay you guys tuned. A 2 miles jogging, 1hr to 1hr and 1/2 of shadow boxing every single day, deal 🤝
Doc gave me a warning the other day , I’m doing this routine at the moment because I’ve always loved the sport as a child , I’m obese 6.2 and 300 pounds at 36 I need to get my myself straight and save my life , thanks for the person who made this excellent tutorial
Good on u mate❤!I'm heading back too..boxing is fun so good way to get fit and enjoy yourself...maybe end up helping the young ones in sparring especially at 6.2(if can get fit enough
@@dwight4800 hardest thing for me has been stamina issues relating to weight and conditioning being very poor and food addictions the most important thing in this tutorial it’s teaching discipline and use of mind , if you keep doing it it’s in your sub conscious mind so you act it out without second thought I have failed over the years again and again
@@cassk9999we associate our memories and habits with our environment. I would advise moving to another location ... it doesn't have to be far but a place that you don't know where your favourite food places are... as they say out of sight out of mind. This will make it less likely these places will come to mind because you don't know where they are in the first place.
@@hebisty4163 hi thank for the tip , these days establishments selling fast food are unavoidable they are popping up in even the most remote of places so unless we move to the moon we will have to refrain and one way I’m doing it is by stay full with fibre and veg and detoxing the body using green tea and other supplements that suppress appetite another thing I’ve noticed it’s easy to over-eat on pizza and fried chicken but it’s hard to overeat on sweet potatoes tuna and brown rice so our brains and tongue is being tricked by the crap and artificial and modified foods are like crack , obesity on the rise in Europe and America faster than anywhere else on earth
You look incredibly healthy bro. It’s good to see and you’re influencing others to do the same. We all appreciate people like you in the world. Thanks man
I’m only a partial beginner as I’ve been on off since I was young it’s been quite a few years and I’ve decided to take it seriously so I do appreciate this video
Started watching to see some basic moves but the speech was kinda intense and inspirational, what he said can be applied to all aspects of life, mental will power, deep
This is great advice. I use boxing to rehabilitate my body after being in a wheelchair for years and prep me up as an athlete. I do long distance running (my African country has hills in rural areas) that make it perfect for building mental willpower and endurance. Every night I train for at least 3hrs (8:30 - 11:30pm),mixing it with kicks to heal my legs, strengthen the hips and hamstrings. It has worked out successfully so far. Peace to everyone. Stay hard.
Thank you very much Sir. Your advice is really powerful and makes a lot of sense. Although I am not going into boxing, I will do my best to start and follow your advice so that I can achieve a mental state that is strong and have a healthy life. Thank you once again for your inspiring advice Sir 🙏
Hey man, just wanna say thanks for the tip. Your right I would think so, lots of beginners do forget about the mentality of the fighter, I believe this because It's definitely something I've forgotten. I would know, I used to be a box a lot when I was 8 to 13 years old then got tired of It, lately however as the years have come past I realized what I'm missing and why I used to box, thanks for the reminder that I needed. Thanks and wish me luck, and good luck to you as well hope your channel succeeds.
