Reminds me of when I did boxing as a youngster. My coach could not accept I was a natural southpaw. He demanded I fight orthodox . I had to give up. I was getting no joy from the sport, which was a pity. It's similar to a Left hander learning guitar. They can also face problems.
better to learn guitar righty that way you can pick up just about any guitar anywhere and be able to play it since 90% of them are built to play right handed. tho lefty guitar looks way cooler
Johnny, i benefited greatly from ur vids many years ago when i started out. Saw that u still do these videos. Thats great man! Will def keep up with ur vids again. Im now 31 so for me its only for enhancing techniques
I had to search google to find you sir.. I'll be using your vídeos from the beginning because i am right handed but for the past two days i have been using my left hand to do things so as to fight in a southpaw stance..i have no prior experience in boxing and its rare to see coaches on youtube dedicating lots of content for southpaw. You have yourself a sub
I’d be interested in some thoughts on southpaw vs orthodox footwork. I.e. controlling the moving right vs moving left rotation, closing distance without the jabs or heads clashing, etc.
Hey man, I’ve seen this italian glove brand called LEONE, i’m looking for a new pair and I live in Brazil so i can’t really get access to the top brands like Reyes, Winning, Rival and etc. With this Leone ones, I can’t find any reviews on them online (which i’m seeing as a red flag). Are they any good? Great vid!
Why would you drag your foot? Idragging your foot would take power away from your back and hinder your defense. Instead of push off the ball of your back foot. You bring your leg and power with your 4 points rotation. And you can turn angles or get in and out. As a pro coach, I never had worked under anyone who told our boxers to drag to step with the front foot and drag the back. It's also intimate move with your back leg and let the point of the front glide over
You’re supposedly a trainer yet you have no idea why coaches teach the step-drag? C’mon man. Seriously??????? If you understand common beginner punching mistakes, I’m sure you’d figure out the answer in 5 seconds of thinking. Anyway….since you claim to be a coach, I’m just gonna ignore this assume you’re fucking around pretending not to know.
I've worked with plenty of amateurs and pros. Top amateurs...zero, and if you're even a trainer you would know why having a top amateur is so fucken hard. Pros are way more common than top amateurs. Regardless, it blows my fucken mind that you don't know why coaches teach step-drag. It's literally the very first thing they teach in boxing first day. And at this point...I'm wondering whether you ever tried boxing. (I'm being 100% honest.)
@@expertboxing Trolls. They should have their own boxing event. Derik Santos would no doubt be in the top heavy weight division. He would move like Teófilo Stevenson and punch like Iron Mike at his best. Ah, dreams. The thing you do when you park reality.😒
@@expertboxing been boxing for about a year and ive still got footwork not right because i dont know the proper technique some coaches say do the step drag and others the push step but its become a massive confusion to me now😂
