tell me what you think. what do I need to improve? what am I doing wrong?

Not bad. You don't have much room there but since you concentrate mostly upstairs with your jab, use more faints.

boxing is'nt the sport for you

boxing is'nt the sport for you

how so? I am not very good yet but I'm a beginner, Im still learning. And I will continue boxing, and I wont listen to idiots like you.

Megadude, what a nasty thing to say!!!! and wrong you are aswell.
I have a cus who was a crap boxer when he started but after a year training he had 4 bouts in first season and won 2 of em lost other 2 on points one off which he was robbed.Won his last 2.So i think well done to my cuz for sticking at it as now hes on bit of a winning streak when would of been easy for him to quit boxing after first 2 defeats.

boxing is'nt the sport for you

You're bein too hard on the kid.

It's aiite, nothin special. At least he's working the jab with technique ya know?

Step in with your jab by pushing off your back foot; then work the right hand in there once in a while. Turn that mutha fcuka over and lay it in there.

You're too up right.

If i ever put a video together, you'll see what i'm about. Wouldn't you think that'd be a good way to promote yourself in the business? Almost like an audition tape ya know? But then you'd be exposed ya dig.

yeah work on your punching combos with speed...not power.....speed beats power anyday....also keep ur hands up..but decent for just starting! goodluck!

he is not a beginner he been post boxing vids like a year ago.. lol

he is not a beginner he been post boxing vids like a year ago.. lol

yeah I have boxed since february last year, but I would say that is being fairly new to boxing. And I haven't really had much acces to a real boxing gym either.

It looks okay for now. You need to make sure you are focusing on your technique. Try to snap those punches more, step in with that jab and TURN THAT CROSS OVER. Lean into that shit. Gotta put your ass into it. work some combos in there as well, double and triple jabs/ 1-2-3's, 2-3-2's, Etc. Gotta get use to tossing them out.

ALSO get some head movement in there. If you are gonna be an outboxer, work that long rhythm(in and out). on the inside work the short rhythm (left and right).

If you don't have access to a gym you need to start training smarter. That means, read more books, watch more fight tape and write stuff down so that you remember it, and practice, practice, practice. You have to remember that for those of us who go to a gym, we are throwing hundreds and is some rare cases thousands of more punches than you in a month. You have to make up for that with more quality, focused training. really think out your exercises for the day and focus on improving your technique. Training yourself is REALLY,REALLY hard, you have to put in a whole lot of effort to get the same results you would get at a gym,a nd even then, it wont be nearly as good.

Keep it up and train both smarter and harder.

Are you wearing glasses?

boxing is'nt the sport for you

Video of you boxing...

Video of you boxing...
honestly, showing myself boxing to complete strangers which most of are 30-40 odd years of age potential child molestors is fun and all but it really is'nt my thing, just seems to geeky
i have thought about recording me sparring though, but you'd have to be a real jackass to come into your boxing gym with a camera

Okay... :rolleyes: if you say so.

he is not a beginner he been post boxing vids like a year ago.. lol

HA....maybe i should start posting my training videos on the net. Would that make me cool?

HA....maybe i should start posting my training videos on the net. Would that make me cool?

Im not posting these videos to be cool if thats what you think... I'm not even good at boxing so that wouldnt make sense. As I said earlier I don't have acces to a real boxing gym very often so I'm thinkin maybe I'll learn better if I film it and post it up to get advice. and so I can see what I'm doing wrong. I have only boxed a year and I'm still learning.

I would suggest improve speed and more footwork exercises.

It's not bad. Obviously you need to work more, but at least you're trying to work on your technique. You need to loosen up more.

its bullshit for guys to rag on you, even with 1 year you're still a beginner. some of us here have been in the gyms for 10-15 years, so no matter how good you think you are, there's always someone better :)


that being said, keep at it...hard to critique since you have no room in there & a heavy bag you want to be able to move around with, when it swings you move, etc....ever considered putting up a double-end bag ??

not bad for a begginer...

* You are trying to do good footwork, which is good
* Hands coming back, but awkwardly, at least you're trying
* Doing jabs, instead of trying to hammer the bag is good

- You need to loosen up, you look very tense
- you need to do more combinations


Other than that ignore the flamers..

boxing is'nt the sport for you

I'm sorry, what exactly have you accomplished in boxing? Did you ever stop and think that there are people much more talented than you who would think the same way about you?

Riiight.... excuses, excuses. First off, people in a boxing forum are unlikely to be child predators who roam sites/places where there are young kids. And unless you yourself is a vulnerable child why would you even care (if you are a kid then you shouldn't have said the first comment to begin with) that there are perverts who aren't even interested in you? Secondly, whats wrong with bringing a video camera to the gym? Its a highly effective tool to watch yourself and your mistakes through your own eyes, nothing else quite like it. I take it that you've never done this before since you think its embarassing in which you probably suck since you have never seen your own mistakes.

Looking good if you're a beginner. Make sure you don't become on of those "garage boxers" who "train" but really only have a bag and some gloves, always go to a boxing gym.

Loosen up your shoulders, had the same problem when I first started. If you don't loosen up your muscles are tensed, if they're tensed you actually actual muscles working against the muscles to throw a punch, slowing it down.

Speed up with your shots. By this I don't mean throw 10000 punches at once. If you're new to it, I mean continue at the pace you're doing it but snap those punches, send each punch with more speed. When you've got each individual punch fast, that's when you start building combinations.

Punch the bag, don't pad it. You hit through your target, not at it.

Good hooks on the bag, make sure your elbow isn't so close to the target though, technically you've done nothing wrong but you're at risk at elbowing them.

If i'm doing some bag work and working on my hooks, I always take it that if the bag spins around fast, then i've done the hook wrong. If the bag spins then it's because you've scuffed it and not properly hit it with your knuckle, if you hook it properly, text book, it'll just move to the side.

I'm being heavily critical here, so don't take it that you're doing badly, you're actually looking pretty good.

Some people on this forum like to make our they're god's gift, they hit like Mike Tyson, they move like Ali, they're as tough as Jack Johnson and blah blah blah. Don't listen to any critics, listen to yourself.

yeah I have boxed since february last year, but I would say that is being fairly new to boxing. And I haven't really had much acces to a real boxing gym either.

1year of u boxing in your basemant is a waste of time you get nothing on that except just exercise... without trainors and partners you would end with getting bad habbits that will mess up. 1month boxing in boxing gym i say is worth more than 12months boxing in your basement by yourself.

im on a government computer and i cant watch the video but having the courage to put your video up and ask people for advice shows that you are willing to learn.thats something all boxers should be able to do, learn from others and take advice thats why there are trainers...... good luck stay focused

I can't go to a boxing gym every day/week, I live to far away. But I have been able to go to a gym a few times, and sparred a little.

I don't beleive what I'm doing is a waste of time. I mean watch the video. I know I'm not that good, But atleast I know some basics.

How far do you live? There are people who drive 1 or even 2 hour one way because they are that committed to training. And no, what you are doing is pretty much a waste of time if all you done in 1 whole year is get to the level you shown in your video. Sorry, just being realistic. You trainer much harder at a real boxing/fight gym. Sorry, but what your doing in your video doesn't even constitute warm up at my gym. Not even close.

What the hell do you have in the bag? Feathers.
Your throwing a weak jab at it and the bag is flying all over.
First you might want to stuff the bag to make it a little heavier, hence "heavy bag".
I would suggest a bit more aggression, head movement and combination punching. Basically hit the bag the way you would fight. Good luck.

boxing is'nt the sport for you

You mean...

Boxing isn't the sport for you.

i watched your bag and double end vid, the joint one. you need to keep your guard up your shoulders look like cottos when he fights but he keeps his guard high

I thought the same thing, it's out of control.

The reason it's swinging around so much is prob' because the chain is too long. The bag looks like it's prob' a reasonable weight so I doubt it's that.

lol, u don't train at a "real" boxing gym neither, do you?

I think you should get a heavier, more secure bag and slow down and focus on throwing with good form. find the distance where you get the best leverage to throw your hardest hooks to the midsection of bag

relax your shoulders and sit down on your punches more in order to drive them through. you will be able to throw better punches if you loosen up more, in the video you look tense like you are trying to pose for the camera when you should appear to be calm, fluid and enjoying yourself

stop jumping around so much and just step in and out/side-to-side fluidly while maintaining balance

id beat the fuk out of u.......

I live about 1 and half hour or so to the closest boxing gym, but I'm only 15 years old it's not like I can leave in the middle of school just so I can get on time to training, but I can sometimes when its holidays and I have time.

And thanks for all the advice and help I have gotten, I will work on what you have been telling me. I know it won't be as good when I don't have a real trainer but I will do the best I can.

id beat the fuk out of u.......

yeah so, beating up a 110 pound 15 year old who have boxed for a year mostly without a trainer should get you respect or what?

lol, u don't train at a "real" boxing gym neither, do you?

Train at 3. One in my home city, one in the city where I go to University and also the University one (that one isn't exactly a real boxing club to be fair, but it's cheap, social and good fitness so I can spare an evening a week for it.) Obviously I would prefer to train at the home town one, it's by far the best of the three but just can't.

I think it helps teach me quicker though because I go through different stages, at the gym near my Uni' the sessions are more technique based, at the Uni club its really just fitness but that's ok too, while at home it's just haaaard haha. I learn a lot of different coaching techniques because of it but sometimes it's quite annoying, when I was first learning I got taught properly by my home town gym. A coach showed me a good stance for what he saw my fighting style as developing into, it was slightly wider than normal and he was showing me ways to move etc. I went up to the gym near my Uni' and this guy wanted everyone to do the basic shoulder width apart stance. I made the stupid mistake of saying but that's not how my coach told me, he didn't like that haha. When you're first starting out it's kind of annoying getting different styles from different coaches, but when you get to know what you're doing and it's more about getting better at it rather than learning masses of new stuff it's not that bad.

So, yeah, I do. Kid.

I said "real" boxing gym. You said that bag in the OP looks like "reasonable weight," and that its probably because of the length of the chain that it's swinging around so much. Well, I don't care how many fuking gyms you attend, if you think a bag that flies all over from a jab from a 110 lb 15 yr old is "reasonable weight," you probably haven't seen a real heavy bag yourself. No matter what you do or say you haven proven yourself to be a joke.

God you're annoying, so stupid as well. Shortening the chain would prevent it swinging so much, you're so god damn stupid. He's certainly wrong in saying it's a heavy bag, for certain, but the bag looks a reasonable weight and its size doesn't depict that it should fly around like that from the shots it's hit with.

STOP following me around biting my ankles.

so if i dont post a video of me boxing im lieing or suck? hmm, how about i really dont care what an internet warrior thinks and i have a trainer to point out my mistakes, why would i waste my time posting a video so people like you who probabley know **** all about boxing have to say?

I thought all those kinds of bags where call heavy bags. but yes its not that heavy its 18kg, i don't know what thats in pounds. I'm going to fill it out so it'll be heavier soon.

No, heavy bags are specifically designed to help increase strength as they offer more resistance. I wouldn't fill out your bag, i'd just buy a new one, they aren't that expensive unless you're going for the full on gym quality ones. You can save money by getting 'canvas bags', these are just punch bags that are made of material rather than synthetic leather or leather, however, don't use good gloves on these as they do have more friction.

If you want to practice boxing in your garage (honestly though, you can't learn to box in your garage, you have to go to a gym), get a reasonably heavy bag, I like the angle bags myself because it represents a body shape more. They're a bit more expensive but they're good, not so great for practising the hook though. Also, get a "floor to ceiling ball", you can get these for cheap, about £10 ($20?). These are obviously the lower end ones but the range between lower end and higher end floor to ceiling balls isn't quite the same as between punch bags, gloves etc. So you can get away with a cheaper one. These are good for hand, eye co-ordination and stamina which can help teach to keep your hands up.

alright thanks and for now training in my garage is basicly the only thing I can do, and yeah I actually have a floor to ceiling bag and vid of it but I didn't want to upload it because I though I made to many mistakes on it.

Pfft.. There are "heavy bags" at my gym and others that are hanging from much higher ceilings and therefore longer chains than the one he is using. No shortening the chain in this case will NOT prevent it from swinging so much. As you can see the bag is freakin 18 KG, thats 40 freakin pounds you dumbass. NOT A "REASONABLE WEIGHT" and the proof that you are wrong because it IS the lightness of the bag that's making it swing around so much. And YOU have the nerve to call ME stupid. Like I said, youre a fuking joke.

You're 17, don't act like you got the world figured out buddy. You ain't shit. There are probably 20+ 17 or younger kids at my gym who can beat the living shit out of you. So don't act like you're the hardest thing on the planet bitch.

That's because, like you said, the ones in your gym are heavy bags.

I wouldn't box if I were you, wouldn't want that IQ getting any lower...

when did i say i was the shit?
talkin out your ass thumbin hard trying to start shit, possibly only because you are over the internet, you should just leave it, for such a 'mature' and wisdom filled adult you sure are some dumbass
take a chill pill boy, and you dont know me, your 20+ is a guess and a bad one at that when you've never seen me ever....:lol1:

Nice try, but no. Since your so stupid you can't even comprehend what happened in this thread, let me explain it to you.

You said that bag that the thread starter was hitting looked like a "reasonably heavy bag" to someone who said the bag looks way too light. Yes you said reasonable "weight" but in this context you were referring to as reasonably heavy for a heavy bag.

Then I said you must not train at a real gym to think that such a bag is reasonably heavy.

Then you said that I'm stupid and that the bag was swinging around like it did from weak jabs from a 110 lber not because of the weight of the bag, but because of the length of the chain.

Then I said you're wrong because the thread starter just confirmed that is indeed a very light bag (40 lbs) and the reason why it was swinging so much.

Then your dumbass proceeded to act like you didn't say anything stupid and told the OP that he needs a heavier bag, after you've stated that the bag looks like its reasonably heavy.

I'm seriously fuking done with your pea brained fuktarded shit. It's pretty clear your level of intelligence is barely over the retard limit. I'm wasting my time arguing with you.

i watched your vid but didnt read all 5 pages, thou. if you just want to box, be more relaxed - 1st, 2nd - move your upper body, your hands and shoudlers should be more relaxed. and shoot more body and head punches. keep training

Like I said, youre a fuking joke.

I have a 60 lb bag and it swings around quite a bit but I mainly use it for combos and speed not power punching. Shortening the chain will dcrease the length of the swing and not the potential to swing. It would swing just as much but half as far with a shorter chain.

You don't need to spend a lot of time in the gym in the beginning, but you must find a trainer that can show you how to throw with proper form. From the video you haven't been shown proper form yet. And you need a much heavier bag at least 70lbs, preferably 100lbs. Also you'll need good bag gloves, Rringside sells some good ones cheap under the Contender label, although their brand is real good, and you'll need to learn how to wrap properly, because once you're taught to throw with proper form you'll be hitting 3 times harder than you are right now. If you're serious about this find someone who can teach you to throw. But it must be someone who actually knows. Most think they know how to throw, few do.

and your point is?


btw 60 lb bag is still WAAAY too light. Even 100 lb bags move too much when you hit them hard.

"reasonably heavy bag"

does not mean;

"reasonable heavy bag"

****, you're stupid.

One means a bag is suitably heavy so that it should be ok to use, the other means a mediocre heavy bag. The first does not remotely imply the bag was a heavy bag.

at first i though here we go....another crappy video,

but strangley enough your quite good and miles better than alot of the people who post video on here, your techniques really good and controlled,
dont lisen to the idiots who say shit like 'boxings not the sport for you'
any way i was suprised you look nice and composed and show good boxing basics well,

i think you shud up it abit, start putting toghter hard a fast combos, speed enverything up and turn it into more of a workout

I'm not tryin to hate or be an asshole or anything, but i'm not impressed. The concept of boxing is apparent, just not your technique. It's aiite, but obviously needs help and guidance. But keep sending videos, i like watching this type of shiit.

You're better than that other guy who posted his video up.

You stupid fuk. You said that the bag is "reasonably heavy" against someone who said the bag looks too light and therefore swings too much. You also argued to me (before you knew it was just 40 lbs) that the bag is swinging around mostly because of the length of the chain and the lightness of the bag. Therefore you meant that the bag is "reasonably heavy" for a "heavy bag." GTFO and shut the fuk up already.

like 10 times better then me atleast skill wise i would say you have some skills though i think i might have more uncontrolled power though im also like 100 pounds heavier then you and almost using the same size bag too

Oh yeah I forgot that you were able to denote what it was I was thinking, enabling you to interpret what I wrote, with certainty.

If you speak how you type you should really stop kissing your mother with those lips....I even found a little animation for you; :loser:

Haha, you don't half take shit seriously.
