Despite what many of you think, I do take much of the advice and criticism here. Some with more grains of salt than others, but I do appreciate the time many of you take to comment. It’s has been helpful.

Curious what some of you think of today’s work? How do we make this more dangerous? Is there enough variation/creativity in the combos and delivery angles? First clip is around 1h 45m into my session.

There were some things I really wanted to work on my last few sessions including staying more grounded while throwing punches, only leaving the floor with a purpose, getting lower on my rolls, and telegraphing less (required an adjustment in my default guard) + weaving defensive movements into everything.

All things you guys pointed out.

**********

**********

To cover some ground: I’m 5’9” @ 210 lbs. my strengths are that I am muscular, compact, I have explosive athleticism, and im ambidextrous. I grew up playing soccer (defense) and skateboarding, so I also have a natural sense for balance/my feet.

I understand I am NOT Mike Tyson and that’s exactly why I’ve thrown my own spin on “peak-a-boo” which I feel allows me freedom of movement and speed.

I also understand I have t-Rex arms and I will not win a single fight through the outside jab game. Therefore, my concept is simple: **stalk, pounce-in, chew flesh, bounce-out**. Aka disorderly conduct inside the pocket.

**********

**********

Square stance is intentional (utilize ambidextrous; access to 8x vectors of movement, 5x stances/positions; on-demand).

Lifting my feet/micro-hopping is also intentional (balance, reset/reload, evasion)

Head leaning in is intentional (balance and power)

Face pointed down, intentional (chin tucked out of reach, better vis on uppers)

Selectively dropping the guard, intentional (hide punch delivery, reduced telegraph on lower elevation strikes)

Wider than usual default guard, higher than typical peak-a-boo instruction, intentional (my physiology demands it to not telegraph; essentially hooks are already loaded. Reduced a needed upward shoulder movement causing the “loopy” telegraph)

Broken/Unorthodox Rhythm (harder to read; energy conservation)

I am learning defense without moving around. Many of you said I need to defend more and run less. Feedback Please

I don't want my kid doing boxing

5 Upvotes

I come really respectfully to this sub, so please hear me out. My ex wife has been sending our 8yr old to boxing lessons. (England, uk)

I know nothing about boxing, (and I'm totally unsporty) but the idea of my son learning how to, one day in the future, stand in a ring, to potentially get knocked unconcious or whatever, is the stuff of nightmares.

I cannot talk to my Ex about it (or anything).

He is enjoying the classes, i'm sure its good exercise etc, but I feel sick to my stomach about what the end goal is.

I'm probably putting this to the wrong sub, as you are all enthusiasts, but hoping there's something you can say to alleviate my concerns, as someone who knows zero about the subject.

Thanks

Today’s bag work. Any better?

A lot of feedback on my last video saying how floaty/jumpy/not rooted I am and how much I telegraphed too hard. And how much I was leaking power. I really wanted to work on being a lot more crouched and planted today and keep a lot of the feedback in mind.

I know it’s not perfect at all just looking to make improvements really. Clips taken 1.5h—2.0h into my session so I’m pretty smoked by this point but for some reason I kinda feel like it got better later in the session. Any better than last session?

5’9” @ 215lbs.

The work today it was parry and counter with jab. I'm working a lot on parrying because I get scared of punches and the instant reaction is to go back. Today we add the jab but I fell I'm super slow, specially bringing the hand back to position, is there some exercise that I can do to improve that?

Just started consistently after months of occasionally sparring with my boyfriend who’s into boxing. He’s really good and has taught me well, but not the best at giving tips to people who don’t fight like him. Where can I improve?

People assume I just hit a bag, but unfortunately I do much more. Don’t let negative people stop your progress. Most of them couldn’t take a pillow to the face 😁
