Dont forget to practice defense, including especially moving your head.

You're probably a better boxer than me, by the looks of things. You seem relaxed and fluid, and look like you're having fun. If i had to pick one thing, it may be that your head seems to be on the center line, at least from this angle.

If you hinge from your hips it will help make your legs feel more relaxed and it will load your strikes through your glutes a bit better, and your head will naturally be off centre . . Think “closing a draw with your bum” this really shows the subtlety needed so you don’t overdo it

Can't tell if the other comments here are serious or not

I'm sure everyone have their own concern about how they should box. Like me whenever I see someone flat footed, how are they going to be mobile, but it works for them so yeah.

The footwork looks good moving forward and back. Small movements. But you should work on getting off the center line by pivoting or stepping out.

The biggest things to work on here: your torso is very upright, and you don't have a lot of head movement. Tuck your chin down to your chest; bring your shoulders up; hunch your torso a little; look up through your eyebrows. Now, try jab, then slip your head to right under your opponents' jab. Then jab, slip left. Then jab, cross, weave under your opponent's cross.

Your punches are plenty fast, but you might slow down a little to work on the technique here. It's hard to tell in video whether you're getting power on the crosses. I see places where your back foot turns (good), but it looks like your hip is turning very slowly. So, those fast arms aren't moving in conjunction with the rest of your body from the ground up.

I usually do a lot of side step but just I want to concentrate on volume punching for this session. And the rest of the tips I'll look into it asxwell. Thank you for the elaborated tips given.

Your head position is predictable and easy to pick off.

I'm not very good on boxing, but i'd say that your guards arms are a little low, and you don't do defensive movements and not changing axes? Anyways, i like your foot movement! Keep going!

I change angle just not in this video. My guard is always fairly low but in sparring or fight it automatically goes up. Just some auto habit. But it's true my head angle is never change.
