Boxing Punch Trackers Review 2023

, 38 Comments

My detailed comparison (and personal bias) of the best boxing punch trackers/sensors…by PunchLab, FightCamp/Hykso, Everlast PIQ, Punchlab, StrikeTec, and more.

They’re all promising to be revolutionary technology in boxing training, designed to increase your performance and training improvements (giving you helpful feedback about your training)…all at the cost of a couple hundred bucks…hmmm.

So the question is…are they worth it? And if so, which one is the best for you! It’s time you get an opinion from a real boxer who’s had them for 2+ years.

SECRETS to Boxing Defense

OVER 100 DEFENSIVE TECHNIQUES!

Develop a slick boxing defense for fighting. Understand your opponents, see their punches, and frustrate them with efficient movement. Then set up counters and put THEM on the defensive!

Learn OVER 100+ defensive techniques, styles, drills, and tactics…to make yourself at home against any opponent!

I share all the defensive tactics I’ve learned (from 16+ years of boxing experience) in this 30-DAY intensive training program. 25+ HOURS of video instruction, and a 20-PAGE workbook to keep track and make notes of different concepts. Honestly…I think it’ll take you a year to really digest it all…but hey you ask for advanced, right?

  • different defensive stances – to negate or bait attacks
  • proper technique – for blocking, parrying, rolling, slipping
  • slick footwork – in and out, lateral movement, pivots, and stance-shifting
  • head movement – styles and rhythms to slip outside, inside, or under
  • reflex training – to help you see punches (not memorize them)
  • rhythm & timing – synchronize with incoming attacks naturally
  • realistic drills – that make you flexible, NOT predictable
  • counter-punching – using angles to set up different opponents
  • fighting strategy – countering brawlers, frustrating punchers, out-hustling slicksters.
  • defense mindset – feeling calm, confident, and comfortable against any opponent

FOREWORD: If you guys know me and how all my EB courses go, then you already know this is the most detailed thing you’ve ever seen on the topic. It’s taken years of outlining, months of shooting & editing, and a Corona downtime to have an available gym and demo partner. All my defensive knowledge given straight from my heart. I’m confident you’ll fall in love with the many gems I’ve dropped in there. There are so many nuances that you wouldn’t find anywhere else.

The Art of Slipping INSIDE Punches

, 14 Comments

I cover some boxing history and technical details of slipping to the inside of punches.

Maybe you’ve never thought about it that way but INSIDE SLIPPING is definitely making a comeback in the sport of boxing. It’s a trendy move I see in Instagram highlights like every other week. A good chunk of them are Lomachenko and other Cuban/Soviet style boxers. But there’s club-grade amateurs doing it, too. It looks slick as hell and very fun to do.

But what makes slipping inside special? And why is it so rare now to the point of being “special”? If you ask me…slipping inside isn’t even special at all…it’s just a forgotten art.

TopBoxer Gloves Review

, 16 Comments

My honest and detailed review after messing with (2) pairs of TopBoxer gloves for 1 year.

  • I ordered a 16oz custom pair with super cushion foam for maximum protection and sparring softness.
  • And also a 14oz stock pair just for reviewing purposes. I told him to throw in any stock pair; I didn’t care what it was.

I’ll go over everything I saw, and the details I noticed.

The FALLACY of “Fighting on the OUTSIDE”

, 3 Comments

The truth is…there’s no such thing as “fighting on the outside”.

And the reason why is because most people think it means to “fight from long-range”. Even worse is when they try to do it by staying far away or going backwards.

YIKES!

The only thing that happens when you try to stay far is you run out of space and get beat up along the ropes.

Here’s why…

Best Boxing Shoes Review – UPDATED 2023

Best boxing shoes review

Comparing 16+ boxing shoe brands used by amateurs, professionals, and champions!

Boxing shoes are one of the most important and most personal pieces of boxing equipment. Probably the second most critical piece of gear after your boxing gloves. Boxing shoes help you move with absolute control, giving you explosive footwork as well as anchored stops.

The best boxing shoes feel light, comfortable (like custom-made gloves for your feet), and help you become one with the canvas. The worst boxing shoes feel like a foreign material underneath, with weird lumps and curves that don’t mold to your feet. And then there’s also the matter of quality and features. Some last longer than others. Some are more comfortable, more secure, and easier to use than others.

Here’s my experience of the most popular boxing shoe brands!

how to start a boxing club

Can’t find a nearby gym, coach, or anybody to train with?

  • Just start your own boxing club!

It’s fun, cheap, and also one of the most rewarding things in life. I started my own over 10 years ago and grew it to 300+ members eventually. It’s the best thing in the world. You’re having tons of fun and freedom that you wouldn’t have in somebody else’s boxing gym or in a commercial gym. And you become lifelong buddies for life. Some of our members even married each other!

Here are the steps I took to build my own little boxing community:

What to do on your REST Days

, 4 Comments

Asking fighters to take an “easy day” can be the hardest thing in the world.

It certainly feels like the best fighters NEVER take an easy day. But I can assure you that they do. In between all the crazy highlight reels of fighters going from one impossible exercise to the next, they are indeed taking breaks. It’s the only way to really get stronger AND stay injury-free in the longterm.

But how do we do it?

The average “champion” is wired to squeeze in one more set, one more rep. It’s a tough addiction to break once you’re already in the gym. This all-or-nothing mentality is will lead you to burnout, injury or over-training faster than it will to success. There’s also the other issue that some athletes can’t do an easy day because it’s just too boring. They need stimulation. I know…I know.

Here are some tips to keep the rest days easy, BUT STILL FUN (and yes, still productive)…

boxing gloves review

The ultimate boxing glove review – from 10+ years experience!

I review over 60 brands, and hundreds of different gloves…explaining everything from materials, padding, and stitching to shape, comfort, and protection. I also cover the history of different brands and how they evolved or even copied one another over the years. 

Of the hundreds of “boxing glove reviews” out there, most are either a vomit of self-serving Amazon links or sponsored reviews advertisements hyping up gimmicky features. Even the honest reviews are written by guys who’ve tried only a few brands and never worn out a single glove in their entire life. I’ll say this…

The best glove reviews should compare the best gloves!
