@Danny overhands ARE a variety of a hook. Not really trained when running the basics to a rookie- it's jabs, crosses, uppercuts, & hooks. 4 punches. Whatever variation you're thinking of, its of those 4 legal punches in Boxing. A power jab is still a jab.
Teddy the best in explicating not only the practicality of pugilism but also on how it's relative or applicable to everyday life! Keep bringing it Teddy Atlas!
The man who taught me to box had a wicked left hook, battle tested in the GG. I quickly learned not to drop my right when jabbing. And how to reset a broken nose…😎 I have had to have a go a few times in the street and one of the first things I check is my cover.
I didn't know you had a yt channel teddy! ...just subbed! ..this is as close as im gna get to training with you!! I often hear u commenting...i really like how u explain things and techniques...your stories are gems...you can apply them not only in boxing but also in life. I appreciate you teddy. Thanks!
My trainer used to put a leaf in between my right glove and my head and another one between my left shoulder and my chin. Then he’d have me move around the ring. For the first 2 months that’s all I did. Never threw a punch for 2 whole months
I like listening to. Teddy Atlas about Boxing everything come from the Jab. What Teddy said about, Carl Williams when he use to. Throw his Jab he use to drop. His right hand Mike Tyson knocked him out. In a round, Teddy Atlas know his boxing he has trained a Number of. World Champions. 🥊🌍
If you want to improve for a quicker jab try this. wear a long sleeve loose shirt with the cuffs undone. even better if the sleeve has more than one button (on the cuff) to adjust the looseness and tightness. aim for the snapping sound when the arms fully extended. You'll know the right sound to aim for is a sharp snap. the louder the harder. remember to always retract the arm after throwing the jab. Once you master it aim for the same snapping sound twice in a row and so on. Sound is the key. aim for a sonic boom.
Lol sammy the bull a pussy Teddy atlas would knock him out cold !!!!,there’s a difference from being a real fighter to using a gun and having 50 mafia guys helping behind you,sammy the bull a legend but doesn’t make you tough pulling a trigger,he would get smacked about in a boxing ring,
@@SteCoughlan he is a legendary trainer and boxing historian. He knows all todays fighters like the back of his hand he lives boxing and I trust his every word.
The all around wisdom this man has is unparalleled. Not just in boxing, but in normal life to. Doesn't matter if your a boxing fan or not teddy has great stories and lessons to be learnt
Great story and simple but AWESOME technique! I just did it now a couple of times (I'm on a snack break at work and just checked this out) and I'm certainly going to implement this technique on my training sessions! Thank you very much, Coach! Best regards from Brazil!
He's always 100% right and shows phenomenal workouts for boxers, this specific workout is good for fighters that use the conventional up n down or peek a boo type defense on the other hand it wouldn't be as good of a workout for any fighter that uses the shoulder roll or "Philly shell" because on defense that right hand will move on both sides of your head.. It still is a great workout for all boxing styles even the shoulder roll just not as effective for that specific defense
I love when teddy atlas said tyson needed to make him throw the jab... I've been boxer over 20 years and in my teens when I was competing heavy my favorite thing to do was spsr round after rounds sometimes up too 30 rounds of scarring with different sparring partners and I learned on my own even without my trainer learning that too me who is my favorite trainer ice ever had including Joe Cortez, doc brodus, Bob foster and Michael carbajol, and it was to set traps by luring and making other boxers throw certain punches so I could counter or catch them if I noticed there hands dropping after throwing certain punches
I was born in '80. I've been watching boxing since then. Then '93 rolls around and this little thing called the ufc started, so we got into that....been a fight fan my ENTIRE life....no one and I mean no one has the info like Teddy does. I absolutely love the guy
Watch how Lennox Lewis used to jab in his later career. Thats how tall fighters should fight in hw boxing. He almost leaned on them with the jab holding the jab on their faces and bam! Big right haymakers overhands uppercuts from a long distance. Also his double jab, the way he came with a slow half jab then followed up with a heavy long jab was pure masterclass. He didnt even need to put speed on it just perfect timing and positioning.
Lennox Lewis had the best jab ever in boxing !!!,hes 1-2 was immense,klitschko copied him,Larry Holmes had good jab and Bob foster to,but in any combat fighting everything is set up by the jab most important weapon to have in your tool box !!,
One of my old coaches would have someone hold a pinky ball or tennis ball against their face with the left hand. Often when you "just" practice holding the left hand at your ear you don't realize the left hand has dropped. This way if you were practicing alone at home or your coach was watching someone else, the ball would drop on the ground and you knew you were making the error.
The jab is probably what you should try and work on the most more than all other punches...because you work almost everything off the jab..including finding range, keeping your opponent at bay so he doesn't charge in and put pressure on you...and so many more...makes sense why people still call boxing the sweet science.
thx coach. i remember that fight even the commentator, mightve been merchant, said there are better habits to have against tyson than dropping that right hand. mike dipped left and snapped back with a long clubbing hook....blam! truth was sat on his @ss blinking like a christmas tree
