Now am I boxing properly?

speed it up, you look like a video game player on fight night again i'll repeat myself. I was tired, sore from exercise everyday after a 2 year sedentary lifestyle and I"m on hardcore tranqulizers that usually knock people out, if i were to give you one, you'd be uncouncious. it's amazing i could do that and i wasn't trying to be fast anyway, i was just trying to display my form

I'll start with the negatives and end with the positives 1) If your interested in learning how to box, really the best way to learn is from a boxing gym. Now you may say that it is for fun, excercise, etc but I say you never know when you may actually wanna fight. Also when you have poor technique this leads to many a training injuries. That being said, I know the economy is rough, so maybe try a YMCA or something like that. You really don't want to teach yourself because you can pick up bad habits and your not very objective when you critique yourself (But who is?). 2) I disagree with many here wishing to see you speed up. work slow until you master the techniques and then GRADUALLY increase the speed... Also master a basic tech and then go to more advanced. example, Get comfortable with the jab and the cross, and then move on to the hook and uppercut.. Don't be too quick to rush yourself or have others rush you 3) Don't forget your breathing 4) Watch switching back and forth between southpaw and orthodox is a really bad idea. You are too suseptible (we are obviously talking about in a competition) to get caught when you are switching stances.. You also are spending alot of time on learning how to do each tech. on both sides when it's really unneccesary. Learn how to do your tech. from the orthodox stance and u'll be just fine Now on to the positives and you have plenty of them... 1) I like how when you are doing your punchs you are throwing at a slow pace trying to get the right form... Excellent 2) I like that already that you are using head movement when you are working on the bag... Learn to get into good habits.... Excellent 3) Something else that I noticed and i thought was very impressive for a beginner is while you are working you are looking for mistakes.. When you started out in southpaw you had your hand directly in front of your mouth (Just asking for someone to punch your glove into your face) the second time you switched into southpaw you corrected your hand to the side of your face... The first time you bobbed and weaved you bent at the waist but the second time you B&W you bent at knees like you were suppose to. again, excellent I don't think that with a week under your belt and no formal training, that anyone ca determine what kind of talent that you have.. I know that with a humble attitude, willingness to learn, and hard work you will do fine in whatever avenue you pursue in boxing. Good luck and I hope to see more videos of your progress!!!!:boxing:

i just realised the size of your boxing gloves, jesus christ The gloves the bag came with and the 9oz gloves I have make my hands blleed like crazy and mess up my knuckles bad even with lots of handwraps. The gloves I have in the video are 14oz. They are awesome as hell, they hit hard. I think I punch pretty hard, I have the machine and bag tied down with 9 chains that, 2 of which are bolted to the wall. and I have a cement block holding it there because I keep knocking it over with no matter what size glove i wear. By the way, the reason why I am hitting so slow, is because I am currently sore from exercising everyday and plus I'm on a very strong sedative that would probably make you uncouncious if I gave you one pill. I have to take it for anxiety.

Put some speed on it, work on your head movement, up your adrenaline, and most definetely work on your foot movement and rhythm, bend those legs more, remember every time you swing you can be countered so alittle movement after those combos. Keep it up champ.

I am right handed but I want to be good at both orthodox (right handed) and southpaw(left). I find I can fight both ways and seem to find advantages when switching styles.

:lol1: :lol1: :lol1: Was that funny to you? I thought it was a bit of a scumbag-ish comment, to be honest. Horus ra, keep it up man. The new videos are a big improvement on the first ones.

Not bad, you are a lot better than when you started... you keep your guard up well and remember never to drop it, when throwing a punch don't telegraph it... snap your punch and once you have hit it bring it straight back to the neutral guard. As larryx said, when going down to the body dip down a bit so your guard is more whole and secure... that way you are still fully protecting yourself when throwing powerful punches downstairs! That is a little bit of advice... I am not saying you did these things wrong, I am just saying if you remember them then you will learn it faster... keep practicing you'll get there in no time! Could I ask you, what hand are you? A lefty or righty?

A book that I found really good especially for punching power was "Championship Fighting" by the one and only Jack Dempsey. I got mine years and years ago and don't know if it's still available, but if you can find a copy I'm sure it will help you. Just had a quick search and look what turned up :cool2: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106129

thanks guys. I've only been training for one week by myself, I am teaching myself at home by videos on youtube and articles I read and advice from forums. The other forums said I had bad footwork and my hands weren't high enough.I thought for sure my footwork was correct and my hands were right too. I am trying to stop droping my hand to the side when i do combos because it leaves myself unprotected I believe. Also, I am white with 13 races in me and I used to have long hair down to my waist and I just shaved it all off.

naw this is a new guy holly shit!! then.. welcome horus white version :fing02: ! about the vids... keep walking.. like johnny walker... long way to go.

how long have you been boxing ? do you box at a club aswel as at home, you were ok, a little slow but decent power, keep up the good work but try to be a little less rigid i think slightly robotic,

Improving already keep it up horus

Whats this all about then ?? I take it you're looking for feedback on the vids... Same comment on the body shot,, and a couple more quick ones To be frank the uppercut on vid 2 @ 1:31 wouldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding (to quote my grandad, god rest him), The uppercut is a short close in punch not an arm swing, dip your body down and to the side slightly and kinda bring the punch from your chin, if you get me. Get your bodyweight into it.. one fast motion You might find it easier wearing lighter gloves 10oz - 12oz, they look like 16oz or more sparring gloves.. are they ? Hope that helps you out a bit

but r u the real horus???? i mean floyds cheerleader?? i always though horus was black

Bwhahaha... Good on you, try and add more head movement when intiating punches and more angles.

See if you can speed it up a bit. Keep working hard its paying off, you are getting better.
