…us, hitting our guard, or pushing us off balance. To delay your opponent’s recovery, time him out, create openings for your counters. Great defensive tactic that saves energy, creates openings, and can be used with your hands in any position (even far out nearby your opponent instead of retracted to your body). How punches are usually parried: Use the mirror hand on the side he’s attacking with…if he throws with his left, you use your right, and vice versa. Make contact with his glove or forearm. Push his punch either down (down-parry) or across…

How to Throw a Straight Punch
…bicep/chest muscles and reaching forward with the big knuckles. Stretching the OUTSIDE of the arm means stretching with the tricep/back muscles and reaching forward with the small knuckles. Now let’s step back and see how these seemingly tiny differences can affect the way you fight. CORRECT Straight Punch (stretching the INSIDE of the arm) Straight punch coming out… Notice how when I stretch out the INSIDE of my arm, the arm goes straight and almost flicks out of the way… …making way for an easy RIGHT HAND! The left hand flicks back…
Why Jumping Rope is the #1 FOOTWORK DRILL for beginner boxers
Skipping rope is absolutely the BEST boxing footwork drill for beginner fighters! There’s no way to get around it. I get beginners trying to argue and reason with me all the damn time, asking if there are other good boxing footwork drills for beginners. NOPE! Sorry. There are no other alternatives. Nothing else comes close. Not running. Not swimming. Not cone drills. And here’s why… “Do I really HAVE to do it?” [jumping rope] Yes, you do. I’m sorry [not really] that it makes you feel weak and pathetic. Or that you feel emasculated doing…
Why don't boxers train equally in both stances?
Q: Why shouldn’t boxers train equally in both stances? Being able to fight in both stances equally well would seem to be a major advantage. – Schalk A: Boxers shouldn’t train in both stances because it means you will have spent half your training time taking away from your most effective, most efficient stance to work on your weaker, less effective, less efficient stance. Think of it like using a computer mouse. Why would you bother learning how to use the mouse with your left hand when your right hand is so much more efficient?…
7 Basic Punching Tips
…punch. Never look at the body when you throw down (this also telegraphs), keep your eyes on your opponent’s head and shoulders. Looking at your opponent gives you better offense (punch accuracy and damage inflicted) as well as better defense (increase awareness of incoming attacks). 3. Exhale on every punch Always breathe out on every punch. Make a small breath; don’t exhale all of the air in one punch. As you throw combinations, you will let out spurts of air with each punch. The shorter and more explosive the exhalation, the better. Compact explosive…
Deciding Between Orthodox or Southpaw
…the back hand has more room and distance to throw a harder punch whereas the front hand is for throw fast jabs to setup your bigger punches. From a technical standpoint, having your weak hand in front would make it more likely for it to connect with punches than to have the weak hand all the way in the back. I’ve seen many streetfighters or people who come from martial arts that love to stand with their strong hand in front. I don’t recommend this because they usually put the strong hand in front because…
Add Western Boxing To Muay Thai Boxing?
…you throw and they will become more powerful. On the inside, you can try lesser used boxing combinations such as 1-2-5-2 (jab-right cross-left uppercut-right cross) and also spend more time stepping to the side and throwing punches at an angle when you see that your opponent is covering up and not able to see you through the guard. One of the best punchers and Muay Thai fighters I’ve seen is Ramon Dekkers. He’s definitely been able to combine effective boxing punches with his Muay Thai fighting. If you want an example, just watch him. Let…
Everlast Mantis Punch Mitts Review
A quick review about why nobody should ever buy these punch mitts for any reason whatsoever. To make things short. These mitts are easily the worst boxing products I have ever bought. They only further the myth in the boxing community that Everlast only makes crappy products. These mitts fail in two areas: 1) they suck at absorbing punches and, 2) they fall apart VERY QUICKLY. I’ve only logged about a few hours on these mitts before the leather inside started tearing apart. In terms of durability, this is completely unacceptable. I can’t believe they…
Perfect Boxing Stance Width
Find the perfect distance between your feet to give your boxing stance the best balance, power, mobility, and efficiency. Here’s a question I hear everyday, “How far apart should my feet be?” Every trainer knows the answer to this one… “About shoulder width!” and so the boxer adjusts his stance as the trainers give him feedback. “Errr…too far!” “…now it’s too close!” “…it’s still a little far” “…ALMOST…but not perfect.” “…you know what…whatever, just use what feels comfortable.” The answer is so simple yet many boxers never get it right. Everyone knows how far apart…
Beating The Swarmers
…smart pressure fighter and an amateur that’s just rushing in like an idiot. This is like comparing Miguel Cotto and Ricardo Mayorga. If he’s a sloppy puncher, you can counter him all night long. If he’s a stalker type fighter that’s putting smart pressure and walking you down, then you’ll have to utilize quick movement and numerous jabs to stick and move out of danger. Counters to the swarmer Pivot Jab, Right-Cross When he runs in, circle out to your left (if your orthodox stance), and jab him. Think of yourself as a matador…
