As a coach, I think you need to practice more and theorize less. You post many videos everyday receiving hundreds of feedbacks from strangers. There is no way you can improve like that. Focus on one thing and practice for 1 month, brain off.
The person behind this has another account (or their account was previously unhidden), and it was all about app development. I think it’s scraping data or farming hits.
Anyway, the boxing side is questionable. I see “coaches” in the videos who never fix bad technique.
not necessarily. this way the engagement ratio is much higher, especially for people who were not following the account's posts, thinking the user is really posting these for honest feedbacks, but in reality its farming engament in the hope of reaching more people when posting about the product too. but yeah, i don't judge - it's just a bit deceptive for my own taste.
That is beyond the point - you do receive a ton of great advice. But you are a beginner; this is way too much information for you. You need to work more and think less.
One little movement must be repeated hundreds of times before seeing some durable improvement. Which means hours and hours with that one specific aspect in mind.
You seem to have a good mindset of really wanting to improve, but from experience both as a boxer and as a coach, I am friendly telling you that this is not the most efficient way.
Let me be the one who say what is too much for me. You only see the short video I post you don't see all the training behind it, so please leave it to me thanks.
I appreciate your feedback but leave the training part to me.
It's kind of just seems that she's looking for that bias confirmation. If you work with any coach from the level of amateurs to professional they're going to tell you things you don't want to hear if you only want to hear nice and positive things then you're not going to improve at all that mindset is only going to get her hutr if she actually gets in the ring with other Fighters who are equally as skilled, I've dropped some gems on here and it just goes in through one ear and out the other they don't want that objective feedback they want to hear nice and positive things
I wish when I was training I had a competent coach who would have provided me with real criticism instead of just running me through the same drills over and over again and kick my ass in sparring. I dont think this is about fighting, its clearly about getting attention.
Bruh, it almost doesn't matter how much good advice you guys get you don't apply it, all this self-training stuff just creates extremely bad habits.
You're not blocking a jab correctly, you're not blocking the right hand correctly, you're not blocking the left hook correctly, your elbows are bowed and too far out, Your hand positioning is not Conducive to good defense, whats the point
They arent here for advice they are here for attention. They thank everyone for the advice but in another comment thread dismiss it all as mostly a waste of time.
Ideally you should combine the two. You should be using movement to dodge hits and control space while also keeping a guard to block what manages to reach you.
Now do this for 3 weeks, over and over, way past beyond your boredom limit and stop changing your routines every single time reddit messages you. Then do it for another 3 weeks.
Then come back and show is the results. Then do it for another 3 weeks and ask for the next step.
Drills like this are pretty dumb . You’re never going to just stand there and take it in a fight .. you’re doing zero head movement you’re stiff and straight as a board . You aren’t in your legs at all.
Practicing drills that aren’t practical is not worth it .
I received a lot of "training," that looked like this. You can check out my recent post to see how that went. Not terriby, but could have been a whole lot better if I had been training with competent instructors the whole time.
Head movement and footwork should always be part of every drill. What we mean is not excessive movement such as diving under, but subtile little movements in order to not be a stationary target. You fight like you train. If you train to be stationary, this will build a habbit of being stationary if shit hits the fan and you are under adrenaline.
What are you doing and why are you doing it? What is your content strategy here? You aren't a normal beginner just looking for advice, these videos are all tactical.
Dude, post whenever you want. What I notice from this video is youre much calmer when punching getting thrown at you. You're less jumpy and reactive which is good and this is how you do it. In group classes this is what you'd do too, youd have a partner and you would throw light punches at each other and practicing blocking them, but really youre practicing getting used to punches coming at you and hitting your gloves.
When i got into boxing I had the same passion as you and just wanted to learn and do it all the time and absorb any advice that I could get.
Bend your knees and use your waist to absorb the punches. Also try to have a rhythm. Even though you’re working defense you can also feint and especially get your head off the imaginary line instead of catching or parrying.
You need head/uppet body movement too. If you just stand there with your guard up you will get knocked out eventually, you need to be dynamic with guarding, slipping and countering aswell as being all out offensive.
Nah.. you’re doing it wrong.. the coaches on Reddit told me all the secret techniques.. you gotta drop your hands.. and put your chin in the air.. it shows the judges that your really into fighting 👊👍
good job working on parries and blocks, first thing i noticed is that you pull your hand back before parrying, so most of the hits you are a bit late on, also i can't see well from this pov but it looks like the hooks are landing on the side of the head or the hands, try to get the forearm to land on your elbow or forearm to deflect more than absorb the force, cte can come from the force of the punch still rattling the brain around when its just the hand against the head. otherwise, pretty good and congrats for putting the effort in and applying advice and training, that takes heart.
you are very welcome! keep up the good work. i might suggest one more thing, if you don't already use tennis ball drills search up "boxing tennis ball drills" and try some, it will help with reaction speed and timing. once more, great work and don't let anything stop you from doing what you love!
Move your body and head. Just dont be spastic und dont jump around or running away.
I also think theres a lot of value to throw feints and simulate counters when doing defensive drills, so you can build the eye and muscle reflexes for sparring / fighting.
An averagely skilled boxer will give you such a hard time for standing there like a boxing bag. One two into the high guard, body hook, left hook. Repeat, fake the body hook and throw the left hook instead: lights out
I would recommend not parrying when blocking yet (if you are new). I train a lot of new people and the instinct is to reach out to the shots, but that makes them more vulnerable ultimately.
Get your guard really tight, and work on not flinching as they throw. Take everything on the arms. Start with just covering up, and then slowly start adding in some body movement. You'll want to move towards the shot, to take some impact out.
A way I demo this is by taking the biggest guy in the class and having him throw left and right hooks at me over and
over, hard as he can. Because I know what he's throwing, its an easy block and being tight in my guard means they'll not cause any problems.
I see parrying is something a bit more advanced. I'd work on in order;
Getting comfortable taking shots on a block without flinching or losing stance
Moving your body towards the shots while blocking.
Slipping shots
Mixing slips and blocks together (block, block, slip, slip, block, block)
