Boxing coaching video - feedback wanted

Hi, the Heel is the Bio-mechanical Break, stops the TFL being engaged. Which makes the whole Posterior Chain becoming active, stops Do. Stance should be your walking Gait, thats your natural Balance mechanics, plus could cause knee Ligament damage.

 

Body works all or nothing, plus everything works better in Balance at anything.Most important thing that needs to be Stabilized is the Oral Cavity, the Head, if thats not Balanced nothing is, niether are the messages. Body is there to move and transport it, without Balance Thought clarity is lost, everything is starting wrong. Which wont correct itself in motion.

 

Most of the Greats do

 

Why was there not a larger response to a real boxing question?

 

Bad Left Hook (first vid)----

The contact of the hook should have the weight over the front leg for maximum leg to waist to shoulder power contact , this allows the punch to follow throw with power & good balance ,,,When throwing the left hook he stepped to the left ,he will then lose the follow throw power being of balance by stepping away from the target ( you can step to the left to slip a jab or straight right but would then hook to the body first to bring there guard down for the left hook)


Tutorial Test (second vid)----

Took right elbow into waist on point of contact
From the video angle looks like he's rotating ahead of the punch before impact or it maybe he as carried on rotation after hitting a solid object
I would have the weight over the front leg with no turn of the foot even with a stepin left hook the weight would have to be on the front foot for quick balance ready to rotate
Once the hook punch as followed through then the weight transfers 60/40 onto the back leg

respect for posting the 2 video's ---MR BB

 

Yes he has timing issues, like evryone does, if he didnt then he would be a much better, faster, stronger puncher.. you can say this about any fighter.

If you dont turn your front heel, your arm punching. you cant possibly support the punch with your base so power has gone with added mobility issues because of the stance your in, unless it's a very weak tapping arm punch your throwing of course then maybe you could support such a punch from a base like the one you described.

It sounds like the way you punch your base and hips are resisting against your shots rather than driving them home in sync with everything else, this is what we call arm punching in boxing, it usually means there is not much power behind the shot. it's interesting how you talk about timing of the guy's rotation, if your not rotating your hips at all then your timing is worse than the guy in the video, his timing is bad but at least he has his feet, knee's and hips in some sort of sync with his upper body.

 

I think they were good especially the second one, short and sweet yet nailed the important points. :good

Interms of doing a series of these I think it'd be good, but I'd suggest you get a more experienced fighter to throw the punches as good modelling of techinque, is important for beginners. I realise these were just an experiment to show the fella where he's going wrong.

Nice one.:thumbsup

 

This would be good I think. Plus getting an experienced guy or yourself to do the ideal shots and show a comparison to help people see the subtle differences. I think there are alot of holes in tutorial videos to learn any sport but they are definitely useful for novices (myself thoroughly included in that category).

Just a thought, I used to have alot of trouble with the left hook it was a really slappy shot or just straight up ******ed and if I did manage to get any power behind it my form would be so bad i'd hurt my wrist. That is until one of my mates said think of it like throwing an elbow and then add the fist onto the end. When you throw an elbow you have to get your whole body behind it and it gets you to think about rotating your hips/shoulders/front leg.

Scrap you mention the importance of the head and the oral cavity quite often I was wondering in layman's terms what you think of mouth guards that improve sporting performance by aligning the jaw perfectly.

 

Definitely like the use of the lines and circles, that seems like an ideal way to teach people the right angles used in correct form.

 

things i would add are the positioning of the arm, before, during and after.
not many trainers talk about this but thankfully i had a good one.

Dont telegraph the hook, no pulling back, just a solid rotation, shift of body weight etc. main point being, there is no need to pull arm back before you throw the left hook. Not saying that the guy in the video is doing this.

i was taught that when practising the hook, the elbow MUST be parallel to the ground (usually shoulder level) so there is no weak chain in the link thus more power and if this is done properly then your forearm should also protect you whilst the hook is in mid air.

2 ways to find out your doing this properly is. find a speed bag. throw a hook. if the ball doesnt bounce, you are throwing a proper hook. if it bounces then your elbow is not parallel to the ground.
also if you throw a proper hook in a fight with follow through, you will hit the opponent with an accidental elbow.

the LAST part of the hook which is not discussed by many trainers that i have been to or seen on vids- once the hook lands or has gone past a certain point past the target (when shadowboxing) bring your hook back like you are pulling meat of something rather than let it drop.
the only time you dont do this is when you intend to roll/slip with the hook.
