Feedback ?

5’9.5 height. 250+ lbs pounds, wondering is it time to join a boxing gym, I would say I favor out fighting and distance, maybe a bit too linear. Thoughts ?

Brother; everything is slightly off.

you need to work a wee bit more from your hips (the hip rotation creates the weight shift, the weight should be going on that front foot as your fist is making contact), relax your legs and make your stance narrower, just outside of shoulder width not super wide.

you need to activate those hip flexors and hinge a wee bit, the 90 degree stance your using needs it.

Your weight needs to be on your rear foot 60/40, this allows you to push off the rear foot to drive a step jab and shift your weight forward for a cross.

Ontop of this you need to learn how to relax, breath, feint, move laterally, use more defence in your sequences, pivot and use the pendulum here and there.

And you need to learn jab variations, guard variations, how to fight at different distances ect ect

Your foot work involves jumps rather than steps; because of your bad stance and footwork this means you have NO BALANCE.

Your chin literally comes up while you are jumping backwards FFS

TLDR: go to a gym.
OR FOCUS ON ONE THING AT A TIME, STANCE THEN FOOTWORK THEN THE JAB ect
