Thats what were here for!

 

Notice that you lean in with your head first?Notice where your hands are-down.Not good but you'll learn.And stop arm punching so much.

 

Work more on technique then trying to throw fast and hard.Maybe work on just getting the jab down first and then work on basic combinations and go for there.

 

Its true that if you joined a gym you would learn quickest.

With that said if I was admin I would temp ban everyone that said it in this thread.
You guys, learn to add something or move on, your join a gym advice is played the **** out.

RDJ you might as well get it over with and change the forum name to the "Join-a-gym forum". Jesus H.




Now to advice:

- Start off by forgeting you have ever seen Muhammad Ali box. Your guard stinks. When your not throwing punches, keep your hands up in between your chin/cheek. ESPECIALLY your right hand. Your right hand should never be below your chin when your not using, that means even when your puncing, like this

-Keep your elbows tucked at your side, when your hitting the bag or shadowboxing you should try and feel them there. Your stance should look like this when your not puncing. This is what you need to learn first and when you go to them gym, other then doing excercises to get in shape this is how you will need to learn to stand:

And even his right hand is low in my opinion.




- You look like you have some pop and decent footwork and are getting leverage on your hooks. Your straight punches are just arm punches, learn to sit down on them. In boxing that means bend your knees and feel your power coming from your ass/thighs and starting from your feet. Your slapping your hooks like Malinaggi or Calslapp.. I mean Calzaghe. If your going to throw a hook do it properly by making your elbow/arm COMPLETELY parrellel to the ground and then turning into it, to get the full power. Remember keep your other hand up. Should look like this

If you don't have a trainer/gym, then record yourself then critique yourself on your fundamentals.
Don't try and be flashy. You can workout in other ways to lose weight but learn to throw punches properly with good boxing technique is the best way to go, THEN use it as a stress reliever.


When you think you've made some progress your welcome to post again here again for feedback.

 

This is not the lounge. Get lost.

 

As you know I share part of your criticism but I think you are overreacting. He should join a gym if he wants to box. Otherwise he should take criticism of the others. I personally did not know where to start because he basically does everything wrong so my new "join a gym" is pointing to the instructional video thread.

 

tnx for the kink in my neck, for starters.

Secondly, the bag is your friend. Don't hate the bag.

Thirdly, hands up...when throwing a punch make sure the other is by your chin. Start throwing straighter.

 

Fair play on firing up the vid. You need to relax first. Not sure if anyone said but keep the chin down and in, you will then not need to keep your hands as high to protect it as its gonna be lower. Fire up another video when you feel you have ironed some stuff out as someone said.

You may feel it's worse or your feeling slower but it will be better than you realise. Practise some simple patterns as RDJ's thread show's, no need for bag, slow formbuilding shadow boxing will be just as good.

Remember less is more sometimes :deal

All the best :good

 

Sensitive today huh?

 

Again no one is arguining the validity of telling a guy to join a gym; there is no better and faster way to learn obviously.

But am I crazy or does a bunch of guys just responding saying only that is just not seem useful or helpful? It does seem pretty stupid when the guy says he is NOT at the gym right now and asks for advice, and initially gets barraged by people saying go to the gym.

Its like someone starting a thread saying 'Please critique my drawing' with the poster uploading a drawing of gis and explaining that he doesn't have time/access to drawing classes and then everyone tells him to take drawing classes.

 

Sure.

 

I would recommend checking the stickies with videos (basic punches/stance) before anything else...

I would shadowbox just using a jab, and footwork, stepping with jab, etc. Starting slow till its in your head and you dont have to think about how to do it right.....Until you can do that, dont even throw a right hand or a hook.

 

Which makes it a very valid response.

He got different advice as well, and he wasn't scared off the board. Au contraire even, he took the advice rather well. I don't see the problem at all in this thread.
