New bagwork video.

Yeah, pretty reasonable. A lot of positives there. But the main problem, and it's a fairly important one, is that they are all arm punches. You need to bend your knees, push off the ground and whip your hip into the punches. Punching is a full body activity, most of the power comes from below the waist. You have solid footwork and ok combos but you're just shooting the punches out from the shoulder, there is no purchase on them. You need to rectify this or people will walk through your offense.

 

your thrwoing your shots and stepping back and relaxing but you would still be in range of your oppenent, you need to step right back out of range.

 

He's not practicing on that, he's working on punching technique... you're just being an ass.

 

looks good but looking good on the bags and pads doesnt neccesarily mean good things in the ring, u got any sparring vids or fight vids??.. looks good tho

 

Actually Greg the random ducks are a good thing. Changing levels after you punch is one of the first things you do when your adapting from the ams to the pro's. If you can do it already then thats good. The vids ok but your hitting a bag not a person so its pretty worthless in judging you capability as a boxer but you hit the bag fairly well.:good

 

fast hands

 

oops my bad.

i do it constantly but my trainers shouting at me not to do it, so thanks for that.

 

No probs Greg, I make sure all my fighters are constantly thinking about every attack in three stages closing-punching-after punch... too many fighters esp in the ams get tagged by silly shots that they could have avoided with a bit of head movement and awareness.

If you get used to making a defensive movement after a punch or combination even on the bag your much more likely to be ready for a counter when it comes in a boxing match.

Your trainer seems to have a lot of issues Greg make sure your with the right man who will allow you to get the most out of your ability. Your improving but on the videos i've seen of you you still look like someone trying to fight like guys on a video if you get me. You use techniques that you have taught yourself rather then been shown by your trainer. There's good and bad things about that approach...

All the best Greg

 

I'm constantly on at my fighters to do this. There's nothing that I can't stand more than seeing someone wailing away on the bag, displaying a total disregard for everything except punching!

I like to see either head movement, a different angle, or a change in range after every combination. Let's face it, of all of the training tools, be it the heavy bag, sparring or mitt work, the majority of the fighters time is spent on the heavy bag. Personally, I don't advocate this, but with a limited amount of sparring partners, good pad men or boxing rings, the heavy bag is the most used item in pretty much every gym. With this in mind, you should carry everything you use in the ring, and apply it to your heavy bag workouts (unless you are focusing on a specific area such as punch output etc). If you don't practice head movement and such like on the heavy bag, you are severely limiting your time practicing this skill.

As a coach, I simply don't have the time to spend looking over every fighter, for every minute at the gym. With this in mind, I need to be sure that my fighters are working every area, whether I am overseeing their work or not.

 

thanks, my trainer just dosent like that little slips i do moving back he prefers me to change angle so now i do both.

Hes definitly a good trainer and has taught me heaps let me advance by myself but guide me which i like.

i dont use the heavybag alot if i do bag work its mainly the floor to ceiling ball or a 3 in 1 bag.

 

Same goes for all bags, you should still be thinking about defense as well as offense.

 

yeh i always think about defence and offence.
