Did you know…? 8 out of every 10 boxers don’t know how to come in with the jab. It’s a random statistic I just made up but my point is: hardly anybody moves their head when they come forward with the jab. Anytime you bring yourself closer to your opponent, you’re potentially walking into a dangerous counter punch. For this reason head movement is crucial for all forward movements—ESPECIALLY THE JAB. It’s time you learned how to SAFELY come in behind the jab. Move Your Head When You Come Inside Example of…

Nerds vs Brawlers
…crazy sparring videos to show my friends. Then there were months when I drilled heavily but avoided sparring. The new skills never developed into body memory because I wasn’t sparring enough. My point is you need to do both. By fighting, you realize the point of having better technique. When learning techniques, you realize the need to test their effectiveness in combat. I am always bombarded with questions like, “Hey Johnny, what skills should I learn next?” And my most logical answer is…”Go fight, and you’ll find out what you need to learn next.” I…
Boxing Defense Techniques
…technique. It requires complete evasion of the punch by displacing the head or body to one side, USUALLY by going to the outside of the oncoming punch. It is incredibly effective in that the opponent misses entirely and your hands (and body) are completely free to counter or escape. The drawbacks to slipping is that it requires very high skill and awareness to pull off successfully. It’s not enough to avoid the punch, you have to be in position to counter immediately since it isn’t realistic (energy-wise) to slip entire combinations. Should you make any…
Balance Secrets from a Dancer
…his body stayed glued to the ground. “If you are tense and try to hold a frame, you limit your freedom. Maybe you hold a certain frame or position for more balance or for more power.

You cannot move freely if…

Punches and blocks use only the arms, slipping movements use only the head, and their lower body (if they ever think of it) is used only for footwork. Dividing their body into separate parts and functions like this makes it easier to learn boxing in pieces but keeps you from…

Drowning Style - Constant Pressure Without Blocking
…should come immediately after you open guard or after you back up. Typically, your counter-punches will come over the top. It can be an overhand right or high left hook but over the top is best. (Quick tip: It’s also easier to counter if you bend your knees beforehand to give your opponent a lower target. The moment he attacks, you slightly unbend your knees, lifting yourself out of the way slightly, and counter over the top.) You don’t have to land a devastating counter. Anything accurate and stops his momentum will do. If you…
How to Improve Your Fighting Reflexes
…feel them coming. After you know how to detect and see incoming punches, the next thing you’ll want to do is develop your ability to feel them coming in. I’ll break it down for you. When I first started boxing, I got hit with everything because I couldn’t see the punches coming in. After a few months, I started to notice when jabs were being thrown, when right hands were coming, when a left hook was about to launch, etc. I knew exactly what every punch looked like and where it was coming from and…
