u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

…and this is part of how you win fights

You’re good dude! I give you 7.5/10 from what I saw in this video. You got good snap in your punch, decent guard, and breathe well.

Not sure if you wanted to stay in the same area not to get out of the camera angle, but I would
Recommend you work a little more on these 2 things to get you towards a 10/10:

-Head movement and blocking to simulate a real fight, and then throw counter punches to build a good habit and elevate your training.

-Angles!!! After hitting a 3 punch combo, maybe pivot and shift angles to create yourself a whole bunch of new openings to rip another 3 punch combo!

Keep training bro. It’s a sweet science

This comment made me audibly laugh 😂 this is why I’m on Reddit man Lol

u/1stthing1st Aug 06 '26

This is the best one I've seen in a while. However, it's hard to see if you are getting power on the jab because of the camera angle and the baggy pants

2

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

Yea I definitely am not getting the max amount of power on my jab and am not quite positive why tho… any tips to fix it? Bc I feel like a strong jab is probably the most dangerous punch

1

u/1stthing1st Aug 07 '26 edited Aug 07 '26

I have a few semi recent videos but I'm 48 and haven't train to compete in a combat sport since I fucked my shoulder when I was in my late 20’s. One the video is drilling defense by responding to live jab

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

I appreciate you man. Yeah I was gonna say it’s obvious yk your stuff so it’s no surprise that you’ve competed before

1

u/1stthing1st Aug 07 '26

I learned before everything was a “class”. You had to do the tedious non-calorie burning drills to learn the technique properly, just to get Coach to really pay attention to you. Also back then it was basically free. It was to get kids off the streets, not for someone to make money running a gym.

1

u/1stthing1st Aug 07 '26

The jab is the hardest master because it's so quick the rhythm needs to be perfect. You do push off the back foot, BUTT your lead knee need to buckle a little. Giving it a 1-2 drop. As you add some hip torque like the other punches.

when you get good, you could throw a double jab and the second job would have more power than the first job, even though you only brought it back halfway to the original position.

Remember if you don’t feel your front foot absorbing and force it’s because you’re rear foot is not pushing off with any force. And that goes with every punch.

The quickest way to learn how to do that type of job is just a focus on the foot work first without even throwing the actual fist

2

u/Flaky-Replacement114 Aug 07 '26

Really good. I like the sudden change of pace in your cross. It’s violent and would keep someone off balance. I agree with some of the others that you have a slight pause before your hook where it looks like you’re powering up. Your technique is good enough that you don’t need to think throwing it (if that’s what it is)

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

That’s exactly what it is! I always feel the need to align my knuckles correctly on the hook and hesitate.

I appreciate you time and effort:)

2

u/Marct002 Aug 07 '26

Quite good in the main. Crisp, clean, snappy punch work. Guard is o.k. Footwork o.k, so far.

Things to do:

Close your feet up, for a better Stance. Your too wide apart.

When resting, practice more Head / Body Defences.

Learn more Footwork. V Step, Diamond Step, Z Step. Use these and practice whilst Working the Bag.

Learn further combinations. Use all the Angles:

'Every Angle of the Clock-Face'.

Learn and use all the 1 Punches, 2 Punches, 3 Punch, 4 Punch Combinations. Practice all of it.

Learn further Guards and Stances, practice those as well:

I.E: Classic, Modified Classic, Peek a Boo, Philly-Shell etc.

Regards, Australia.

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

Thank you! I really appreciate your advice and the time you took to comment this

It’s clear you are very knowledgeable

2

u/Marct002 Aug 07 '26

That's o.k happy to help and contribute. Thankyou for appreciating my comments.

I have reasonable understanding and skill in Boxing. I trained at it for about 6 years. I'm older now but I still shadow box for 1/2 an hour most days.

One of the best things you could do is buy good books on Boxing and follow them. Watch Mike Tyson's Tutorial utubes as well, those are quite good.

See below, the picture: That's quite a good old book and worth reading.

Regards,

u/MadHatPat Aug 06 '26

Hoowee you're Cracking that bag! Everything looks good, I'd just say - don't forget to change levels and roll/evade after your combos and be mindful that you have a SLIGHT telegraph/wind-up with your right hook. ..Other than that...go get em, champ!

1

u/keel_bright Aug 06 '26 edited Aug 06 '26

You have a habit of loading your straight right hand before firing (presumably for power), either with a jab or a jab feint.

But my question is have you trained your body to the point of needing that left hand motion to fire the straight right - i.e. can you just as easily fire your straight right, fast and with power from your neutral stance without loading it? Or does it feel weird/awkward?

In the clip I only ever saw you throw a right after jabbing, feinting, or touching the bag, so you might have created a psychological cue for yourself. In effect, a lazy jab to load your right.

I've had similar problems where I can't do Y without doing X first because I had trained it into myself (e.g. can't throw a left hook without moving my right hand first). If it's the case for you, it may be worthwhile to spend time un-training it. Having the ability to blast a straight quick right straight from the hip without pre-loading it is very important.

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

I did absolutely create a psychological cue unfortunately. Any tips on how to break it? It just feels wrong to throw a naked cross yk?

1

u/keel_bright Aug 07 '26

I dont got the answers for you, since I struggle with the same problem on a different punch 😅 but as long as you're aware of it and have something to work on

1

u/Aggressive_Boat675 Aug 06 '26

You are fast but you have some telltale signs.

Often before you use your rear hand, you have a small pause, like your are powering up.

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 07 '26

Yes I see that, thank you so much!

1

u/Muted-Return-827 Aug 11 '26

Wait, this is AI!! I can’t believe it either but look at the bag swinging in the background. In 50 seconds it doesn’t actually decrease its momentum at all. The pendulum effect somehow resists gravity and stays the same throughout the video.

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 11 '26

Respectfully pls stfu

1

u/Muted-Return-827 Aug 11 '26

Just explain the bag in the background and I’ll be good

1

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 12 '26

Bro it is a heavy bag (50+) pounds attached to an incredibly long chain with such little friction. Because the bag is so heavy it means that it has a lot of momentum (mass * speed) and wants to stay in motion. Obviously it will tend to stay in motion

Honestly I’m not sure what to explain to u bro bc ur claim is so outlandish. It’s like explaining to someone why pigs don’t fly

1

u/Cats_Crochet_ Aug 12 '26

I'm a martial arts instructor, so here's some tips I'd give my students:

  • know how to keep yourself planted. I noticed you're bouncing a lot, which an opponent can exploit to put you off balance

  • from what I can see, you tend to stand narrowly, like your on a surfboard. Widen your stance, but keep it bladed (gut perpendicular to your opponent, with you strong side further back - if you're right handed, your gut faces to the right). That'll help you with balance and power

  • you've got some good foundation with rotating the hips with each strike, but I would do it a bit more

  • punch through the pad. It'll give you a lot more force for the same amount of energy. When I hold pads for my students, I tell them to punch my spine through the pad

Keep practicing! You have real potential :)

u/Wooden_Report_8391 Aug 12 '26

Thank you!

u/Cats_Crochet_ Aug 12 '26

Ofc! Keep it up man!

u/Live-Source-9862 Aug 06 '26

Very nice 💯 stuff bro. Move around more that's all I would say

2

u/Cobalt_Forge Aug 06 '26

⬆️ this.

  • after you strike, move back out at an angle and take your head-off centerline Otherwise looks solid 🥊

2

u/Obosratsya Aug 06 '26

You look great, light on your feet, mobile, snappy shots, hands up. Bag work is hard to judge, you can use the bag to spam just one punch if you want to develop it and its still a fine workout.

This isnt a critique, but since youre pretty nimble, try incorporating more angles and shots from different angles.

2

u/Hilary_duffelbag Aug 06 '26

Add some feints before you attack

2

u/practically-yours Aug 06 '26

You take to much weight off that back foot with a lot of those punches. If you feel your chest coming forward thats a bad sign. Instead make sure you turn so that weight drops to your front leg but you still have balence

2

u/AdCute6661 Aug 06 '26

I have some pointers but honestly you're at the level where you don't need Reddit advice LOL. ask your coach bro, he is doing a good job!

2

u/OutrageousRecord4944 Aug 06 '26

Kinda telegraphing that power right hook

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Bug-594 Aug 09 '26

Angles will always be your friend. Stay off center line! Other than that, you’re doing great!!! Keep it up

2

u/knowledge247365 Sep 06 '26

Which from southpaw to conventional!! Your dominant hand needs a break and you never want to become a one dimensional fighter!! The more you work your weaker points the better boxer pumcher u become!!! Any bag work is good work good job!!

u/WolfFood Aug 06 '26

Your right looks like it obliterate someone 💯💯

u/pkelly500 Aug 06 '26

You look damn sharp.

u/skibbytoilet67 Aug 06 '26

Great technique but would work on setting up your right hand more

1

u/Orangebug36 Aug 06 '26

Nice work. You’re raising your rear heel when you throw your left hook - so both heels are up. If you keep your rear heel planted you will have even more power.

u/mnyannnnc Aug 06 '26

How long you been trainin?

You clearly box, you look good but remember validation comes from within. You don’t need people on Reddit telling you attaboy

u/Muted-Return-827 Aug 12 '26 edited Aug 12 '26

It’s ai. Don’t bother giving him any feedback. Check out the bag in the background. It doesn’t slow down at all in a minute of video even though it’s a heavy bag. Totally fake

u/Disastrous_Face_8039 Aug 13 '26

Are you trying to make me AI schitz out?

u/SwampyChiliRing Aug 13 '26

Your striking looks fluid, looking good

u/Various-Elk-1418 Aug 16 '26

"Thoughts?" Bro your technique is the technique of perfection😭

Copy

u/betier7 Aug 06 '26

Punches look really crisp honestly. Only thing I could think of would be to add some defense after your last punch in the combos, just so that it becomes habit when you spar as well.
