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

You've goa full thread of people telling you how to improve....but as I predicted, you come back with stupid answers as to why you're boxing like a Flid. Instead of saying "cheers lads I'll try and work on that" or maybe "oh yeah I see what you mean, I do make that mistake"

Stop asking for help and critique, then trying to justify **** technique.

what is so funny?

 

First, don't lean your weight up onto your right foot when you jab. There a couple reasons for that. One, you cant' move and jab with your weight there, so it is easier to counter you, and counter you hard as you lean in. Two, it makes it very hard to throw a proper 1-2, because your weight is already up there. You aren't transfering it on the "2". Watch the video and you'll see.
Second, when you throw the right foot the weight has to end up on your left foot, so you can follow up with a left hand.
Third, the guy in the video you posted way back, about how throwing the jab, or whatever he was on about, is incorrect. Holding your glove that way will not stop stop the elbow from flaring out when you jab. It will keep you from turning your shoulder into your jab, and from extending that all the way out. If you want to break the habit of flaring your elbow when you jab, try this...Stand next to a wall, real close on your right side. Move forward and back, jabbing everytime when your right foot moves (going forward), when your left foot moves going back. If you flare your elbow, it will hit the wall. This will break that habit.

 

i noticed you haven't been turning your whole body into your straight left. You should step in more and turn your body to generate power for that punch; it should be your most powerful punch. And don't drop the right hand after the hook, pull it straight back to your face after you throw it.

 

Yea, your left cross needs a lot of work based on the above posts.

Just to summarize:
- leaning too much on lead leg.
- no weight transfer.
- Minimal hip/shoulder rotation.

 

Jabs are awesome...there was this guy who always gave me problems in sparring. He'd overwhelm me with combinations and he'd constantly be sidestepping or moving in and out.

I was clearly getting frustrated. During the break my old trainer advised me that whenever I'm in trouble to just throw the jab. I tried it and lo and behold, that ****er can't even string punches together anymore to save his life.

Now, whenever I'm in trouble I throw the old left jab out there.
police troubles...left-jab.
girlfriend troubles...left-jab.
******* at the grocery store parking lot...left-jab.

Jabs, they're a lifesaver! :good

 

As a southpaw your jab is probably your least important punch. Unless you're fighting a southpaw.
