Here's a new video of me shadowboxing

You have actually improved. A lot more composed, and most important less nervous. It still needs massive work, so for now I will leave it at: keep both hands completely up. Try to make short and correct combinations, like a simple 1-2. Remain calm.

 

left hands abit low. and you throw it and drop it a fraction then pull it back. You just dont look fluent you look awkward and jerky.

you cant tell much from shadow boxing we need a sparring one really

 

forgot to say you have improved alot keep it up

 

You don't really need new advice either, there's plenty of work left on the old ones. But you did improve mate.

 

Why are you wearing gloves to shadow box? And where is the mirror so you can watch your form? Get a trainer dude.

 

Both good points

He can't.

 

Why not? How can you learn to box in your back garden by videoing it and getting some randoms to post their "opinion" from the Internet? Sounds like a waste of time to me. Id admire his determination but he's quite misguided.

 

I agree mate but that is the path he has chosen. He can't join a gym and wants to do it this way. He'll never be able to compete with someone who trained the right way, but he'll get in better shape at the very least.

 

You wont be anywhere close to an amatuer fight. But if you REALLY want to be an Am join a gym when you can get a trainer and take your trade seriously. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time and getting badly hurt in the process.

 

work on your footwork.dont keep bringing your feet together cause your not very balanced and bring your jab straight back to your chin your dropping it a bit before you do.but you are getting better

 

Much better.

One area of major concern that has already been touched on is your tendency to bring your left hand back low, and in general you are hanging it way too low.

You also need to look at the timing and the amount of rotation you get with your 1-2. If you watch when you throw multiple shots, they are all arm punches, you need to make sure that your body drives your arm - if your body isn't turning, you aren't punching correctly. When you are throwing your jab, really turn into it as if you are reaching to get something off a shelf, then when you fire off your right hand, your body should be twisted to give you more 'turn' into the right hand. For the perfect example of how to throw a 1-2, albeit from a southpaw, watch Chad Dawson - the rythymn and timing of his 1-2 is impeccable. A little drill which should help you is to pretend you are throwing a 1-2, but don't let your arms move - the way that you are throwing it currently is such that you are getting very little rotation into either punch, which results in less range and power. when you carry out this drill what you are looking to achive is a simple ninety degree turn, so if you start off in your boxing stance and turn so your shoulders are in a direct line with your feet - this is your body position for the jab. if you extend your left arm from this position, you will notice that from your left hand, right across your left arm and your shoulders will be an almost straight line, it is this position that will allow you to gain maximum extension on your jab. From here, you want to start twisting so you are now facing straight on to your target, and you will start to pull your left shoulder back. You should now be in a position where your right shoulder is a couple of inches further forward than your left and your right foot is 'turned over'. If you extend your right hand from this position, you will find yourself in the finishing position for the straight right. When you carry out this drill, stand in a corner of a room, you want one wall in front of you, and one to your right hand side. When you turn to jab, your upper body should be facing the wall to your right, and when you fire off your right hand, your shoulders should be parallel to the wall in front of you. Once you have done this once, try to build a rythmn, as if you are throwing a continous 1-2-1-2-1-2 etc. Your focus should be on smooth movement and rotation of your shoulders. Once you have that rythmn, use it to 'time' your punches.

Couple of other pointers:

Do not cross your feet, when you move to the left, move your left foot first, and move your right foot first when moving to the right.

Secondly, you are off balance when you throw your right hand. As you start to throw it, take a small step (2-3 inches) to the left with your left foot and pivot away as you 'land' the right hand. You will notice the benefits of this when you start throwing the left hook off the right hand.

 

Start from step 1 learn how to throw a proper jab and stand infront of a mirror slowly jabbing just to get the right form no wonder your elbows hurt

 

Basically what everyone else is saying, you look improved still a lot to work on though. I don't know why but you look really jerky or choppy with your movement.
