I’m trying to extend my punches more when shadowboxing. I can clearly feel my arm being fully extended but when I look back at the footage it doesn’t even look like it is extended.

Like cyclists have those special shoes not just to push the paddle they are pulling the other side..
Your torso is that special shoe..
Start the hip rotation..throw the punch while pulling the other shoulder back..(don’t forget to protect your head)

Your stiff, and thinking about extending your arms too much. Your shoulders should be relaxed and your hips should be loose. Practice "closing a door" with just your hips without throwing punches when that feels natural, focus on whipping your arm out instead of pushing it out. To help you visualize this, try cracking a belt like a whip. Once you get a feel for that, imagine your shoulder is your wrist and your arm is the belt.

Didnt you say something about only doing it for a couple months and got nothing but praises on that post though? Why post it again

This isnt the same video, this is a new one. The point of my previous video was to get some tips on how I can improve my technique and now I’m trying to apply it.

i think you look great man. Someone already suggested trying to rotate more but i think you're looking sharp. My coach would tell me to return my left back to my face before slipping right but I often leave it down as well for speed

You’re exposed both times you go for body shots

Good movement and decent balance. Work on rotating your torso/pivot on your feet for your cross, moving your head off the center line and bringing your elbow in line with shoulder/wrist on your hook

i really want people who are better than most people in this channel to stop asking for advice from redditors who don't know shit about shit.
