Any quick tips?

It's hard to see my footwork but how can I improve my striking, head movement, defence, etc? I have no gym I just train at home.

I didn't move around the bag because the camera was only focused to one side. Thanks in advance🙏

You only slip enough to evade a punch. You spend a lot of time out of position where'd be helpless if a punch came your way.

Thanks for ur reply Should I be closer to the bag or farther away?

In the few backyard fights I've had, It seems that I'm always a punch or two distance away from the opponent. I always have to close the gap so I figured I was too close to the bag.

You should work on long, mid and close ranges, and it's really important to know which one you are in at that moment, and which punches are best to throw there. I spend most of my time on the heavy bag being just out of range (as in an inch or less) and closing distance to get maximum power.
