What Is Rhythm In Boxing? | Why Is It Important? 

The Reason Bruce Lee loved Boxing more than other forms of combat is because of As he said because of rhythm “ the feet are alive”

I'm a big fan when boxers set a predictable rhythm then spontaneously break that rhythm to land effective and clean punches. Roberto duran comes to mind and even tripple G. It's such a gem that levels up your game.

Rhythm is a part of boxing. You can play with it as you get more comfortable

As a life long drummer who’s just started boxing, this video really helped me understand what boxing rhythm really was

I use a drum loop app when training, set to 175 beats per minute (bpm). The constant rhythmic beat stops me from easing off at the end of rounds, and i learned to move my hands and my feet together quite naturally and in rhythm with one another so that my body flows quite easily. I've been doing this for so long that i know the tempo quite precisely even when the app is not on.

7:25 u don't need to know how use the rhythm you have to find it is not coming from the mind is from the heart ❤️🥊

One of the most overlook thing especially as a beginner boxer like me. Good thing my coach is technically well-sound and preaches rhythm a lot especially when I spar. I am naturally aggressive brawler and likes to smash on the inside and because of that i usually lose my rhythm especially when my opponent jabs a lot and has good setups.

Rhythm is important because it keeps your mind focus. This would be perfect for fighters who minds wonder off while in mid Kombat.

I learned that BOXING is not just about art of punching. Everything comes from rhythm and footwork depending the type of body, genetics and style. That's why I like combat sports like boxing and mma.

Like Bruce Lee said, and I roughly quote.. "How do I express myself FULLY, through only ONE style, through only one type of taught movement"? I always go back to that interview..Why not use dance? Why not mimic the movements of the other creatures we coexist with? Take what is useful, and CONSIDER the rest. Our entire planet and everything on it is bound to rhythm. Vibrations traveling through our planet, though everything living and dead. Through our bodies, and that includes our brains.. Yknow I saw a video of a bridge get collapsed by a rhythm device. It produced rhythmic vibrations that turned to a swinging pattern of energy in motion, and poof. The whole thing went. Pretty sure thats why sound-weapons are globally banned too. There is a greater energy to tap into through the use of rhythm. Just like there is energy in a breath of air. Energy for speed or power. To use for respite, to find calm, or fuel for another blaze, find courage.. And like the concepts of yin and yang, rhythms greatest enemy, and lover, is chaos... Rhythm truly is everything, even in combat.

i love the punching rythm. its very effective and it’s unpredictable. however that only applies to someone who has good distance and timing and balance.

This man knows his stuff for real. Liked and subscribed 👍

boxing just seems to be so close to truth, truth of life

Great video… very informative, thorough on something that is just vastly overlooked and forgotten about or blended/lost with other aspects of boxing. Well done

I didn’t really understood my own or others rhythm in boxing till after this vid so thanks! It’s kinda last minute to watch this before my first fight but I’ll try and develop a bouncy foot rhythm and maybe some shoulder or fist feints

One of the few that I truly trust when it comes to the Sweet science. Please more of this content and similar.

Now I understand...you make a song and make the enemy expect the chorus but then you slip an unexpected punch...so that's boxing.

Enjoyed this segment! I have been waiting for someone to cover this topic for a long time. “Only way to get rhythm is to practice day in and day out”

Subbed very very informative. It's crazy because I never had a coach or anything like such Soo it's never an excuse when we have intelligent people like you brother that teach us the life/game of boxing. I wouldn't say I'm good but I do get compliments when I spar a person that actually boxed in a ring or gym.

I believe it was Gloria Estefan who said "Rhythm is gonna get you." But in all seriousness great break down. I believe rhythm, understanding distance and footwork are paramount in combat sports. Have you ever come across the discussion about the rhythm step and the issues fighters seem to develop around it. It would make for a great video.

Thank you for all your effort you put into your craft!! Much love and understanding to you and yours champ!

Shadowboxing and jump rope is a very effective way to develop rhythm as well

Tyson is a great example how to hypnotize an opponent. It's hypnosis ;)

Great video and I feel like people forget about how important it is

Amazing explanation & breakdown! Earned a sub.

Makes perfect sense I'm still learning 52 blocks as my main defensive method because I'm a counter puncher not blazing fast but I have learned things on my own from guys who fought in a ring and out of it I'm still training and learning

What a great video! Thank you 🙏🏽

Beautiful video very expansive info thanks for all the insights most definitely appreciated the Beautiful work!!

Man, this video is amazing. This video essay is perfection.

Excellent video. Thank you!

This is a very helpful video! It reminds me of the one that talked about joe Fraziers broken and unpredictable rhythm.

didnt even think of tyson fury but that again showed me the quality of this channel. he is like, the perfect example for it and you included him

Great video, thanks! It's surprising that such an important concept doesn't get more attention.

this is very important in boxing, as well as accuracy and speed

Great video very detailed

Simply explained - very cool.

Love this different type of video, keep up the good work!

Thanks will start working on rythm right away

Great .overlooked subject rhythm is everything not just boxing any physical activity like running tennis etc. Someone breaking your rhythm really changes things 1/2 beats and such.its all timing. It's such a funny thing a truly natural human behavior. Thanks for sharing.

Very useful and delightful

Outstanding!!

great video--- did you see jesse bam bams performance the other day beautiful boxing-- nothing flashy-- feints - sharp and combinations -- lateral movement and amazing angles-- would love a breakdown on that fight

GREAT VIDEO! you should more of them!

Emanuel Augustus had broken rhythm and drunken movement that was great to watch. Too bad the judges didn't like it.

Thank you!!

Omg I love you narration of boxing

What a good video Thanks dude

I stumbled on your channel by chance, but i subscribed right away wonderful content ! Thank you

Good stuff 🥊👍

This video is very informative. I appreciate the insight.

Awesome video!

Great video ❤ Best regards

1st video I seen dedicated to rhythm in boxing. When I was training I was made fun of for being stiff. Didn’t use my body much growing up

great video man

More of this!

True Fact about That Part when u said That Fighters from Cuba are The Bst when it comes To using Footwork...I cud agree some more Brother on That..They re like Tip Top Tip Top Top Tip and so on...etc. very balanced , very calculated most f times man !

Emmanuel Augusta comes to mind when it comes to rythym

Real good video.

Orlando canizales was the master at rhythm fighting/rhythm breaking

"There is rhythm in everything, but the rhythm of Heiho is something which you cannot gain mastery over without practice. The rhythms of the path of dance, of the minstrels, and of the wind and string instruments are among the commonly known and obvious ones. In the path of martial arts also, there are rhythm and timings... . The rhythm with which things progress and the rhythm with which things deteriorate should be understood and differentiated. There are many rhythms in Heiho. It is one of the main tasks in Heiho to first of all learn the rhythm which is appropriate and differentiate it from those rhythms which are inappropriate,... and which rhythm will cause the circumstances to be overturned. Your mastery of Heiho cannot be considered firm unless you understand the rhythm with which you can avoid being drawn into the rhythm of the opponent. Victory is achieved in the Heiho of conflict by ascertaining the rhythm of each opponent, by attacking with a rhythm not anticipated by the opponent, and by the use of knowledge of the rhythm of the abstract." -Miyamoto Musashi, undefeated samurai

in and out off the rythm you need to make the oponent enter in a routine where he think he can time you and when he try it for real change it broke your own rythm and make a suprise mdfk 😂😂😂 it s the game

great philosophy for life in general

Weldone!!!👏🏾

out-standing video

Ray was a WHOLE Nother type of Monster Sheesh🤯…I genuinely think when he killed a man in the ring after dreaming about it 😮Really Messed him up😢…it took his edge off and he started getting beat

Balance is everything, the rest is detail

Bivol is a great example!!!

Fantástico! Keep it up!

Thank you for the info.. it was exactly what I thought boxing was… thank u…

Great information

All men should learn to box learning it is amazing.

J'adore tes vidéos. Salutations de France 👋

What a fantastic video

The boxing is like make a rap when you break the rhythm is break up

Very nice

excellent

Also Bruce taught using broken rhythm to fool the opponent.

What do you mean by ryhtm? A pattern? A organization of attack? A set up to make you opponent move? For example the wording in boxing terms of making an angle is simply using movement to go for an opening or creating that opening. To this day i dont understand what rythm means but im all about sticking and moving.

Great video

Make a video on how a boxer set a Rhythm and than broke it … like Ali did with London and Cleveland Also Roy jones jr and Leanord

look at ringondeaux moving like a beast in sparring, wtf, and he fighting like a stiff with low working against in his last fights, thats sad.

good

It's a dangerous thing to have and rely on. Attacking at a steady tempo will make you predictable.

Some casual fans will hate me but one of the best fights I saw using rhythm was mayweather vs. pacquiao. Although floyd is not as fast as his younger self, floyd managed to perfect his craft. Studying floyd is like pure class chess. He’s sometimes boring to watch to casual fans but to me, he was pure brilliance. Floyd dictated most of the fight by setting traps as his rhythm. Manny had no answer because he wanted to brawl. Hate me for this comment but just so you know I’m a filipino so i dont care what anybody say. The fight was a chess game.

could you do a video on jesse bam rodriguez ?

Emanuel augustus is the king of rhytm

Hatton danced right along to manny’s rhythm

Bivol is Soviet pendulum boxer?

Sometimes a very awkward boxer .can beat a very good boxer because he dosent a rhythm that he can time and counter .he,s unorthodox

Absolutely gorgeous and perfect

Glad broken rhythm was covered. The Mayweather was called a broken rhythm boxer.

A great example of breaking someone’s rhythm is mayweather vs pacquiao. Floyds footwork,clinching,lead right hands to the body and check hookss did such a great job of not letting pacquiao get “comfortable” it brought his punch output so far down his usual workrate

Everyone has a rhythm, everyone starts with a rhythm step and these can be exploited. Don’t be a slave to the rhythm.

Its a dance and a song full of high and low notes
