Could I have some critique of a round of heavybag work?

Dont try and master any stance. Get your hands up. The way your lead hand was in front of your face all the time just left you open to a looping right or a right hook. It only protected your face when jabbing.

Although I have a feeling you'll disregard what people say, post a long ass post about why the "Philly shell just feels right" and then get your ****ing head punched in, in your first fight.

Learn to box in the traditional sense, hands up chin down. As you develop, so will your style. As you get more comfortable/confident in the ring, you might feel that your lead hand a bit lower, gives you a bit more fluid head movement etc. everybody is different.

Doing this from the get go though is a sure way to get punched from one side of the ring to another.

 

You move into range although your in no position to throw anything, infact you would eat a cross everytime. Your movement is way off so try improve that first of all

 

Weirdest heavy bag video I've ever seen... You don't punch from your feet, the punches you did throw were pokes. You're a big guy but that movement was very plodding and slow, everything in the same tempo. That left hand is held in a bad position and the poking thing you do when you jab is very strange. Have you ever sparred? I'm guessing no?
You'll pick up what you're doing wrong very quickly when you spar with someone.
If you want to work on movement then shadowbox and stop trying to run before you can crawl. You're trying to be tricky in that video but you don't have a grasp yet on a basic boxing stance or any of the punches. Work on small things and build up. Are you left handed? Your movement to me suggests righty trying to fight lefty.
I don't want to be mean but that was very strange. Rigid and stiff while trying to be perfect, you won't get far with that. Do some sparring and you'll learn what works and what doesn't. Don't try and emulate any style you see on a video, you need to work with what you have. For someone with your build you would never be able to fight in the style you're seemingly trying to use. You're never going to be a stylist unless you lose a LOT of weight. You're going to have to learn to bang and get on the inside once you learn things like balance and jabbing.

 

Wait, you have torn your ACL 3 years in a row???? Even though you're young, that is a hell of an injury to recover from even if one knee tore once and the other twice. If the same knee has torn 3 times, you should forget about boxing. The roadwork, skipping, sparring, shadow boxing, etc. to get in good enough shape would likely tear it/them up again.

 

That's not true, he'll need some muscle reeducation but you can recover from those injuries.
Probably explains the movement.

 

You absolutely HAVE TO spar to improve. It'll give you a mental picture of what happens in the ring, and you can act accordingly when you hit the bag. Right now you're having to construct an idea of what fighting is like.

Just make a trip to a gym and spar. There's a guy I know of who trains in his garage and drives 2 hours to spar, twice a week. He's a state golden gloves open champ and doesn't even have 10 fights. A guy who posted on here trained at home and would take a bus 5hr to spar once a week. This guy is international level. You gotta work with what you got, but you gotta spar.

Also the jab from an orthodox fighter is the last thing to worry about. The natural counter for everything a southpaw does is a right hand, and you will NOT have time to react.

 

Makes it a bit difficult. You'll develop bad habits on the heavy bag, try to shadowbox as if you're sparring an opponent. Without ever doing it though it's going to be hard to visualise accurately.
How's your quad strength and walking gait since the ACL injuries? With an injury like that you compensate by flexing your hips and using your hammys more than your quads, there are joint receptors in your ACL as well so your balance and feel is going to be compromised after something like that.
Get out your wobble board and and focus on balancing exercises above everything else.
If I were you I'd forget about trying to learn sporting skills until you've learned balance and movement skills to support you and provide a stable foundation to build off.

 

Well that is stupid, and you won't progress. You'll get reinjured.
It's funny because you think that mindset is demonstrating mental strength when in fact it's demonstrating your mental weakness.
Mental strength is about being patient, being focused and realistic while using little steps to achieve big things.
Your mentality is lazy and impatient.

 

Everyone can deadlift more than they can squat, your hamstrings still aren't going to be as strong as your quads. To be honest I really can't be bothered, you don't understand basic functions of muscles and you refuse to treat yourself. You're not healed, don't you get that? Hence your uncoordinated movement?
