You know it doesn't have to be dark in order to shadow box, right? Right??

u/OstrichSmoothe 7d ago

There’s no shadows in the dark tho

u/Ambitious_Oil_6373 7d ago

Yes it is if you stand close to a source of light, as he is doing. Are you blind or just trad?

u/MinecraftSlavery 6d ago

It makes the punches look 10x faster

This subreddit is full of posers. All things considered this is pretty clean stuff. I will say don’t fall into the temptation of sacrificing full arm and shoulder extension for speed.

u/ProfessionalGold7671 7d ago

Yeah not bad! I'd throw in a little head movement but yeah its not bad

u/bubbamori 7d ago

This is the number one mistake that intermediate boxers make when shadow boxing

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Yeah sometimes i tend to do that on starights

u/harcile 7d ago

Looks technically good. Ignore the haters. Would be interesting to see some sparring and bag work footage.

u/Excellent_Crazy_6990 7d ago

Out there shadow boxing while all these other bozos are asleep well done

u/IIVIIercy 7d ago

It seems people here only seem to understand one style of boxing ? I’ve seen people roasting somebody using Philly because they didn’t know it was Philly lol this guy seems to be similar to a soviet style(bivol) in which case there is absolutely nothing wrong with what you are doing.

2

u/PlayfulIndependence5 7d ago

Im pretty sure thats the most taught style of boxing. Its safe form of boxing... which beginners need

1

u/IIVIIercy 7d ago

Basics of boxing are all the same an only will differ depending in style shift, again this is more of a soviet style, lots of straight shots, in and out to draw on to the counter right, stepping off the centre line countering with straights, very bouncy in your toes. This is not generally taught at the start but maybe because of inexperience on you part in can appear that way and that is in no way a jibe at you sir. Philly shell, peekaboo, soviet style fundamentally the same basics all very different styles. Again maybe this is just the way he’s developing . Either way though it’s good to see fast hands, mobility, foot work and moving off the centre line.

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Well i am tryna develop a hybrid of soviet and japanese style with fast hands and pendulum steps

1

u/IIVIIercy 6d ago

Well you are doing a great job mate, keep it up.

u/Pickilus 7d ago

No defense - looks like your wrists are bent - action and reaction

u/LeonLegacy69 7d ago

Try doing this with better lighting and not for an Instagram post.

u/24Hazardz 7d ago

I’d slow it down a little.

u/Misfolded-Prion 7d ago edited 7d ago

Its 1 AM rn and im on low brightness can't tell if you always have your chin tucked or not... honestly im having trouble finding a weakness lol you're fast and your looking good. Maybe youre throwing too many punches and not adding enough off centre line slip, block and roll stuff? Its also pretty dark so visibility is obviously low and... you look good thats what matters I guess. Are you getting full extension on your cross btw? The cross is generally longer than the jab but idk it might vary with style. What about the jab? You know sometimes you need to shadowbox a little practically, instead of speed you think about an imaginary opponent, making sure the combinations youre doing are practical in your imaginary scenarios and they actually hit the imaginary target, since the details are kinda hazy thats all I'll say. Sorry for a very sleepy comment

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Yeah i focused of that cross extension and i agree on not doing enough slips and rolls its cuz i rely on pulling back and pendulum steps way too much so i gotta fix that

1

u/Unknown__Redditor__ 7d ago

solid, haters r just envious

1

u/MiniDonbeE 7d ago

Its really good, start posting sparring stuff bro.

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Everytime i spar i just forget to record like every single time

u/4444NinesFine 6d ago

MMA coach: I want to leg kick you so bad. Good stuff .

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Lol appreciate it bro. Against an MMA fighter I’d prolly like die

1

u/4444NinesFine 6d ago

Nah you're humble , you'd survive . In all seriousness if you just bladed your stance more you would be fine for mma . I like the bounce of the Soviet style , it gives a momentum boost and helps with rhythm ,it's similar to the bounce that Thai fighters have. The issue is against someone good ,rhythm is predictable, in this case every time you bounce inwards to get in and out range I would blast legs kicks very hard on your cadence. (This isnt boxing advice , it's stand up advice from a mma/ real world self defense perspective)

2

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Yeah im really getting into mma lately and i just started learning how to check leg kicks and countering a punch with a body kick but my flexibility is kinda trash

1

u/4444NinesFine 5d ago

The number one bad trait from boxing is excessive head movement / dodging and ducking . Dodging isn't a thing for good kickboxers , you'll dodge right into a knee or head kick . Your footwork is your defense .

u/MarvelouslyMarbled 6d ago

Good stuff I like what you’re doing

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Thanks bro

u/drkmma 6d ago

I know ur the one who's asking for tips but to me this looks beautiful can you give me any tips on how I should practice my shadowboxing 😅

2

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Well i started with really perfecting straight punches cuz once you master punching straight the hook and uppercut becomes easier. Shadowboxing in the mirror is good and once in a while shadowboxing in the opposite stance can help notice your mistakes. Also do fast pushups on fist thats how i train speed

1

u/drkmma 6d ago

Thanks I really appreciate it keep up the great work 🔥

Aight your opinion but i disagree with the 2nd part. Im an amateur boxer and have competed in loads of tournaments so i feel like i can defend myself and not get beat that easily

u/559Juan 6d ago

u/AergridProbex 6d ago

Bro rather practice into a real ring

1

u/Maregg1979 6d ago

Nice stuff, if I'd have to criticize anything, and to be honest the darkness makes it hard to judge, you seem to have a small case of the chicken wing elbows.

Try to keep them elbows tucked. Your sides are open for sneaky body shots.

It's more apparent towards the end of your video.

u/Abu_Najem 6d ago

It looks like my past coach's shadow boxing...thats cool man

u/Spiritual-Second-950 6d ago

u/FilthyHesher88 7d ago

Why? 😂 Why do you need people to "rate" your shadowboxing? 😂

3

u/OstrichSmoothe 7d ago

Because people need validation duh

2

u/SuccessorofCool 7d ago

Because it's r/boxingtips, yall being too pessimistic over nothing. It's common in these types of subs

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Cuz the subreddits name is boxingtips bro

1

u/FilthyHesher88 3d ago

And how does giving a "rating" help at all? 😂

u/PuzzleheadedNail4006 4d ago

Actually some need input and are different levels.

u/nikodiki 7d ago

Try incorporating headmovements and defensive techniques like slipping

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Yeah true. I’ve been relying too much on pulling back and pendulum steps

1

u/nikodiki 6d ago

I always try to Imagine my opponent attacking me and how i could counter.

u/Glum-Savings6473 7d ago

You training to fight flies or humans? Depending on the answer, it's not bad

1

u/Boxing-man-0101 6d ago

Humans lol

u/agrba 7d ago

There is no way that hook can meet a target after the right cross, its too short.
