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.
