lol, So true..I am 49 years old and still put the gloves and spar with my competitive boxers. I use all my ring savey and experience to out last last these young boxers. Last week a visiting boxer told me that people don't spar like I do anymore. Apparently I was going to intense for his liking, he said people now focus on controlled sparring and not gym wars and complained that he had just did 6 rounds straight. My wife who was enjoying watching a nice sparring session with me laughed and said last year I was doing 10 to 15 rounds straight. Times have changed resulting in a softer generation.
TO THIS FORUM: I advise you to watch the PAD WORK to see how I use them to INSTALL EMOTIONAL MUSCLE in my students and APPRENTICE TRAINERS, but if you want to go right to the INTERACTIVE GLOVED PARTNER DRILLS, they start at 11:02. Enjoy :). S
in ex-soviet boxing schools we use this drill nearly every session we call it the "russian mitt work" Back then they used to sell gloves which are padded in the palm area aswell, barely any americans use this drill though from what ive seen they only use the regular mitts,
Mr. Ummah, what do you think of th shoeshine type of drills shown on YT? First time yes toon posted. Regular visitor to your site!! Superb information, thank you
Hi Coach. Great video as usual. Any chance you could do a training video on bare knuckle fighting, as the dynamics are different in many ways when you aren't wearing gloves. Much appreciated. D London, England.
Ummah great video. I see why I struggled with my trainer. He worked with me on drilling mitts but only sparred and it felt uncomfortable when I spared him. I see with drilling with the mitts helps see actually punches and help build confidence. Thanks you. Do u have any tips drilling with gloves and about angles because I’m a level 1 boxing coach for amateurs now.
Greetings, Sayf. I have a question, what kind of diet would you recommend for people who go to the boxing gym two or three times a week? I heard you mention from a video if I'm not mistaken, you only eat twice a day while drinking lemonade within the day. Oh, and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, Sayf!
Umar may I ask you a question. I'm a 16 yr old boxer in the uk starting out in amateur boxing. A problem I have run into is that I fight at 56kg-60kg (123- 132 Pounds) at 5'7 with a reach of 73inchs and a arm length of 28inch. Thats quite long for my height and weight but I'm not sure if I should box on the outside or be more aggressive in mid to close range as their are ppl taller than me in my weight however, when measuring are reach and arm length I still have the longer arms nearly 99% of the time. What should I do and what should I box like?
Yusuke: You should box in the style that you are comfortable in. That is what you will revert to anyway when you are up against someone as skilled as you. Back when I started, there was little concern for how someone "should" box. Fighters that were tall would brawl on the inside and shorter fighters would box. It is up to you. Really. Using myself as an example, I LOOK like all I want to do is brawl lol. Truth be told, I CAN box very well from the outside and snap my jab and right cross from outside. In my youth, I have "peppered" people into quitting. I still prefer to box in close though. :)
@@TheUmmahFightCamp But if u had to recommend something for a average height long armed build like myself what would you say? Cuz my coach tells me to just double jab and move staying quite long but its not that effective against taller opponents due to me having to wait since im punching up eventhough i got longer arms
@@yusuke1583 : IMOP, the UK has the worst trainers!!!! I mean that! They are so limited, it is a wonder it has any decent boxers at all. One thing I WILL say is this: A JAB is a PUNCH! There must be power behind the jab or the man in front of you will run into you all day. If you would like to send me some footage, i will take a look at what you are doing.
