Vasyl Lomachenko | Boxing Footwork and Tactics 

How do you know I won’t be facing Lomachenko 😤

I generally really like this channel and have learned a couple of things from it, but this has nothing to do with Lomachenko specifically and it's not true that he does what everyone does, but better. Actual Lomachenko stuff I've picked up from other sources: He's not a natural southpaw - he stands like that to have a more equal power distribution in both hands or something. I've never tried that. He doesn't just throw some punches and change angles. He always secures the superior position before attacking - like a bjj fighter. He throws lots of light punches. This makes the opponent feel like his punches are not dangerous, so they square up a bit in double guard and have less vision. I've actually tried that in sparring. Works even better against amatuers, cause they usually either throw wild punches or just use the double guard. Once they've squared up, you can attack quite easily. If the opponent is covering his head too tightly, Lomachenko slaps his hand down and then punches into the opening (you have to slap quite hard). He also often throws a couple of light punches, leaves the last one hanging in front of the opponent's eyes for a second and then changes the position - when the opponent can't see him. If they try to feel him out with an extended front arm, he slaps that arm down and throws an overhand. If the opponent tries to close the distance and clinch, so Lomachenko can't punch any more, he puts his forearm on the opponents neck and then circles around him. I've tried all of the above (apart from the southpaw thing) and can definitely recommend. It's all about securing the superior position in order to dismantle your opponent rather than relying on your timing. It's shown in some other videos on YT. There's even one with Lomachenko showing these himself.

This is some of the best tactical/strategic boxing knowledge I've ever been gifted. It reminds me of so many other fight IQ lessons I've seen or read. The Tao of JKD goes into the beats or breaking rythm like this, but seeing the footwork and linking it back in my head to how Lomachenko fights is so helpful for studying to be a better boxer. Seriously, thanks!

"But anyways you're not going against Lomachenko" Be Campbell watching this for tips. Sweat intensifies.

couldn't have clicked on this video any faster appreciate you taking the time to finally do this man.

I gotta be honest, in the last couple months your videos have been amazing premium content

this is like a gift from the boxing gods

Man I've been watching sooo many of your videos lately. I not a boxer, I'm a Jiu-Jitsu player but I love boxing, I appreciate all the complexities and possibilities of it. I find that Lomachenko has invigorating my interest in boxing so much that I'm seriously thinking about taking up boxing now at 40. I find your boxing instructions and technique breakdowns amazing and really easy to follow. Thanks for such great content.

Very thankful you did this one, as a southpaw myself.. I've been trying to get an understanding of Vasyls footwork. Having you go through it with great detail and years of wisdom did me wonders. I definitely intend to rewatch a few times, thanks coach. PS. I can tell your knowledge and conceptual grasp is growing still because your delivery is phenomenal. Much love

thank you so much for posting this. what an incredible athlete he is!

JT Van V - The thinking man for the everyman and woman who enjoys boxing at all levels....Rhythm & Roll, Rhythm & Release, Rhythm & Distance Control..... The good fighters bring what they got....The great fighters take away what they bring with rhythm..... Fighters in general are strong willed and weak minded.... JT Van V shows us that those who succeed inside and outside the ring must be weak willed and strong minded...Thy will be done... God bless and thank you JT Van V....

Lomachenko is the best example of what a good JKD fighter could be.

This is amazing. Thank you so much so this video. What Lomachenko does is extremely simple, in theory. No one could've explained better than JT, it's not that other fighters don't know how to do it, how to mix it up, it's just that it is extremely hard to do it facing pro fighters who also happen to know those things, and that are more than willing to make you pay at the slightest mistake. I guess that kind of timing and ring knowledge is what comes naturally after almost 400 amateur fights.

Another class video. I've been playing with this technique for months but I can already tell that this video will help cement what I have already learned.

Thanks for the video man!

Thanks JT. As usual, a great breakdown. Thanks for sharing!

I am doing Kung Fu for 8 years and my master teaches us pretty much boxing with sparring since 2 years, because foot work exploits a lot of power in the punches. The full body workouts, coordination and drills are nice. Its always our homework to practice and to develop the combinations. Also shadow boxing is a must. For me it means to be a complete fighter, if you are open minded and ready to learn and to execute what i have learned.

Best Boxing RU-vidr ! Keep on work dude, we all love it !

So happy you posted this!!!

Excellent. Thank you for taking us to school.

iv always loved boxing but your channel got me into getting a heavy bag and really learning thanks dog...

You're so awesome, man! Thanks for uploading this video.

love the explanation brother. from beginning to end

What he will do is leave the glove hanging in the middle of the combination, to block the visibility, skip and finish it from another angle. I would like to see analysis on the risks, benefits and consequences of this.

You're the man! Thanks!

Hey man great teaching !!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS

Always loved this awesome person's vids. Straight to the point, great demo, real and practical. Spread his name yall !!

You deserve way more subs

AWESOME!!! Thanks for the video. One more thing that I notice Lamachenko does is paw the jab and feint the power left as his opponent covers up and then steps outside with 2-3

THIS BY FAR THE BEST LOMACHENKO DRILLS. THANKS MATE. I THINK YOU SHOULD DO MORE SUCH VIDEOS ON OTHER GREAT FIGHTERS.

Nicely done! You da man, Van.

Thank you for taking time to teach us how to box.

Incredible tips ty

Awesome, appreciate the video

Great job on this!!!

thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!! Lomachenko is the fundamentals master!

Dude I just want to tell you, not sure if you'll even read this, but about 7 years ago I started watching your videos, even bought your video that you had ( I believe it was on footwork) But you have helped me develop a huge love for this sport, and my only workout routine has become boxing. Just want to thank you for all the awesome videos.

Great education - thank you!

Awesome vid, man. I practice this stuff on the bag even though, like you said, I'll never be in the ring with Lomachenko. At my age, heavybag is more of a cardio workout than a serious effort.

This is some high level foootwork here!

Thanks for the tips!

At times during this video you actually looked like Lomachenko nice work!

Folks, pls do delineate difference between good coach and professional boxer. One could be a good coach but not have a fight of his life. On the other hand, one could be a champion but have little to none ability or skill for teaching boxing. This guys teaches very good.

It's a great channel, compliments man!!

Brilliant patterns going to use this cheers

ive been waiting on this for a very long time
