Me and my brother sparring (video)

That was pretty good, your bro looked a bit better though, what weight do you guys fight at?

Also I know its already been said but Im suprised that room is still intact

 

As somebody else said, most definitely one of the better home sparring videos.

I have to say, i was pretty impressed with both of yous, your brother was pretty fast and i thought you put together some good combinations also.

As for critique, there's nothing else i can really point out besides what's already been said. Mainly side stepping or pivoting aswell as moving backwards, something i always forget to do aswell..I suppose it's pretty hard when you're in a room that's really small though..

good luck with the future :good

 

No problem. I think you would give some folks nightmares if you incorporate some more angles because you would stay on top of them instead of moving back and having to constantly reset. But you 2 look good out there. Keep punching! :bbb

 

Small room

 

Good stuff. You guys know what you are doing. You are both quite skilled. There is ALOT you could both work on but its best for a coach to do it with you because you guys have the experience to start putting it into practice quite quickly on the pads and in the ring. You compliment each other well and I think you can learn from these sparring sessions. Considering this was in a room where you guys pretty much had to keep it in the centre, it was really good.

 

OP where are you from? Juts curious

 

Get to a gym bud- simple.

 

I think you'd both benefit from a few things:

1. Take it outside. The room is too small for you to use angles properly, which is one of the most important things to work on.

2. Turn it into drills and go all out. This way you don't develop bad habits. When you aren't using power, you can just cover up, back up in a straight line, etc.--all things you wouldn't want to do in a fight.

With drills, you get the benefit of knowing what's coming at you for the most part. You won't get hit much, but you'll get used to seeing full-speed punches coming at you and you'll develop muscle memory and good habits.

You can do a jab-counter where your brother can throw head or body jabs, as many as he wants in combos, and your job is to counter him, and he defends the counter. You can work on slipping and jabbing downstairs, you can go over the top, you can parry and come down the middle, you can hook, etc.

You can do rounds where he throws a 1-2 and you defend and counter. You can do rounds where he can throw whatever he wants and you have to evade the punches and smother him without punching. You can have him throw any 4 punches and then counter him.

And obviously there's a million other things you can do. Whatever you guys think you should be working on, turn it into a drill and then take turns being the guy who leads and the guy who counters. Both of you have good reflexes and speed, but both of you also have a lot of holes in your defense that would tighten up quickly if you did drills with each other.

And obviously, you're brothers so you can do a round or two of actual sparring at the end because hey...it's fun =D

 

Just wanted to say that your brothers quick lead right hand followed by pivoting to the side is sick.

 

epic small room :silly

1:00 seconds of the 3rd video was awesome. Great counter right hand
