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.
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.
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 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.
If you guys are not going to be mature and take me serious and help me, then I am just going to leave this forum, seeing as how not one person on here can answer a few simple questions about the basics, instead they act like jack asses.
I took some pics. click on them and tell me if they are right or wrong please. Thank you!

That first video is absolutely hilarious! The bit at the end where you try to knock the punching bag on its side but miss hahaha classic stuff..
By the way, I'm pretty sure that the guy in the video is not the guy posting on here. Just some troll trying to get a laugh, and actually succeeding lol
No that is me and I"m not a troll,
okay so,
Chin= down
fists= sideways covering face
footwork= left foot forward turned to the right at 45* angle
footwork = right foot completely turned out 90* degree angle
body: sideways
Never drop your fists, especially below the waist, always keep fist up to block.
What about knees? Do I need to lean into punches? What do I do with my shoulders? I remember someone saying I drop one of my shoulders.
I only know what I Know from youtube and rocky movies.
what is the Ali shuffle and I guess I am just going to cancel my account and go to a differnet forum because obviously this one is full of immature ego's who wont give simple instructions on the basics. You are very rude when I am being as patient as possible.
I do not appreciate it and I hope you don't treat everyone this way. :bye:
You know there are instructional vids on youtube for boxing technique....yeah everyone on this forum is also correct about going to a gym and getting professional instruction....and when your ready start sparring, especially with more experienced fighters. You learn alot by getting batted around by someone more skilled than you.
I looked but they only tell you about foot work.
Can you do the Ali shuffle
you are not being helpful and I do not think you are mature.
I'd spark you out.
ditto for you, you don't be long on a forum
