@FrancisMaxino 5 лет назад

From years of repetitive sparring in combative sports involving striking an opponent, instead of flinching you find yourself responding by either blocking, dodging or countering the flinch reflex is almost gone and you are just watching fast things happen in what seems like slow motion.

@zxzxddxxdgrddgtrdew1784 6 лет назад

Sir... The way you explain things is brilliant. Down to earth and very detailed. I have so many good words to say about your videos but I'd be here all night :)

@TheQuarterbackX 5 лет назад

People dont realize just how mental boxing a d fighting is. All those little things you mentioned and more, tells me a lot about the level of experance and knowledge to person infront of me had. Once I see all those cues in my opponent tells me a lot about how easy they are to controle, manipulate, read, and make them open up in over responding to take controle of the situation. The story about the WWI vet, How the veterans responded was very likely why they lived through the war , where as many others who did not do that did not make it home. Learned what worked so to survive. In many ways a good boxer needs to learn and make it an automatic reflex with what to do with so many differentcpossable situations so not to be as a giant disavantage.

@menumlor9432 4 года назад

The last part where Fran Sands said don't wait for it to happen. I agree. One thing I do is short fast hard tap of the opponents gloves with either hand. 3 out of 5 times I get a triggered reaction making it easier to counter. I like doing this to diffuse my opponent when I start seeing him get anxious or shutdown the jab. Another thing to reduce the amount of punches coming at you I usually place my lead foot on the outside of his lead foot. This makes the opponents rear hand have to travel a few inches farther to get you.

@marco3330 4 года назад

I'm not going to remember all of this but I'll keep this in mind during training. Thank you Fran Sands

Fran makes boxing that extra bit more exciting and essential. The world could become my oyster if I actually dedicate to these creative life lines. I might go down to his gym one day, he seems that he’s got some talent that would prosperous for me… I reckon concentrating and relaxing are good emotions to use when defending aswell

@thirdgen377 4 года назад

I never understood the logic behind shaming someone who flinches versus someone who doesn't flinch. In the rules of survival, one must be aware of their surroundings and situation. A person who flinches at supposed attacks is one who is prepared for a fight and has utmost situational awareness whereas a "tough guy" who doesn't flinch at all will get laid the fuck out because he just let it happen. The ego is a weird thing.

@thirdgen377 4 года назад

Not to negate anything the gentleman said, he's right. But I can't tell you how many blows to the face I avoided because someone wasn't faking it, and my flinching lead to an effective dodge. I suppose it all depends on who you are and how you see it.

@thirdgen377 4 года назад

Should add I'm not a boxer in any form, my experiences come from "the streets" if you will.

@boshirahmed 3 года назад

Boxers will flinch if they here a noise in the jungle, just like anyone else, not screaming takes experience otherwise u will give away your position.

Fighters and enthusiasts need to find a system that works for them (Jeet Kune Do). Your advice and perspectives are spot on. I'm currently implementing your tips from these videos.

The boxer and great pressure style fighter that comes to mind here is Joe Kalzhgi. What are your thoughts, Fran, on Khalzagi's use of the flinch reflex to his advantage? I think he was probably one of the best, but that's just my opinion. I'd love you to do a couple of videos on his style and drills etc. All good wishes, Sir!

@YamiSamurai1 6 лет назад

Great video thank you for the tips also a question is it ok to spar 5-6 times a week ?

@myboxingcoach 6 лет назад

Depends on the type of sparring Davids. 'Hard' sparring, not in my opinion - 2 or 3 at the most. Tech sparring, definitely - the more the better. Controlled, no heavy punches at all...all good technical development.

@matthewreed3799 4 года назад

Fran In an open spar what's your advice to your students about power,speed and technique should they simulate a real match or work with each other with low 50% power or go full force? This i find to be a debatable question im curious how you feel about this and what you find that works thanks

@hitman47784 6 лет назад

Great video and always helpful. I’ve been training for a while. When training or sparring I would always switch stance as I’m comfortable doing so, especially, when taking angles to land shots. Is there any major problems with this you think?

@myboxingcoach 6 лет назад

Thanks. Nope. You are fortunate that you can. Do it at the right times and you'll only benefit.

@abelhasrisen2793 6 лет назад

Elh Lambey I've been practicing the same thing. Was taught the orthodox stance as a kid and have been practicing switching to southpaw. Training southpaw has actually made my orthodox stance better. It's weird. Everytime I learn something in the southpaw stance it's like I carry it with me into my orthodox stance. It's really mind blowing.

@hitman47784 6 лет назад

Abel Has Risen hey, literally, it’s the same for me brethren you’re not alone in that. I practice a lot of explosive exercises in for my legs to have that rapid witch stance when I need it, you know?

@abelhasrisen2793 6 лет назад

Elh Lambey what kind of leg exercises? For legs I jog 4-5 times a week and do sprints 2 times a week. I jump rope everyday for 10-20 minutes depending on how I'm feeling. If theirs ever a day I don't feel like running then I jump rope for twice as long as I normally do. Aside from that I just do push-ups, superman-pushups, pull-ups, squats, handstands and a few yoga positions. I hate crunches or any form of ab workout 😒. But of course the most important thing is Shadow boxing, bag work and mitts. I love shadow boxing. I love it so much I wanna cry when I do it. I can shadow box for an hour straight and I'll just be completely out of tune with the world.

@hitman47784 6 лет назад

Abel Has Risen well all those you do is ok. For ab work you can try high knee raises intense and jog in spot to rest, repeat. My exercises are: start with of course jump rope for 20 to 25mins, Ali shuffle, burpees, sumo squats with weights/not too heavy, alternate jump lung, high box jump & back squats. These are some of the workouts my coach would have us do. Of course, while shadow box drill that switch stance.

@nonameavailable6004 6 лет назад

Thanks coach... One question.. Is it feasible while training for boxing also building muscle and gain good quality weight ? I weight 87 kg right now and want to reach 95-97 ... Cheers

@myboxingcoach 6 лет назад

Well yes, but if you are aiming to compete then you need to think about which you want to do more, box or build muscle. Boxing is about power to weight ratio, so ideally you want to be at the lighter end of what your natural frame will support. If you want to continue building muscle, make sure you do lots of flexibility work with it to enhance range of movement.

@nonameavailable6004 6 лет назад

Fran Sands To be honest my natural frame would probably be around 72-75 kg.. I went in a period of 5 months to 85 kg and have no problem whatsoever moving or performing.. Still able to throw a solid 4 punch combination at around one second ... When you say flexibility work in that case would be intense shadow boxing and cardio workout?

@myboxingcoach 6 лет назад

Static stretching. End your training sessions with 10 minutes or so of static stretches (find some stuff on RU-vid).

@nonameavailable6004 6 лет назад

Fran Sands thanks Coach :) cheers from Germany

@ba8e 6 лет назад

This is more dependent on the food intake. Any exercise will help with muscle building, but don't expect wonders from boxing. You'd need proper gym time to get 10 kg of pure muscle and a fuck ton of clean food.

@lulubella6423 3 года назад

I'm good wiv defence but when I try and do any punch I can't land and I get hit every time how do I land a punch and not get countered , or do I need to be faster to get in .
