cheers for the advice and to the other guy who said about doing it with a trainer of course that is the best but i was just thinking more about when im training at home i go to the gym 4 days a week twice in london with my dads friends who will train me one to one for free witch is defenitly great for technique and a privilege to be able to get more experience faster than others..... but i just recently joined my first boxing club and i find that sometimes when i think im punching sloppy they wont mention anything witch sorta confuses me but i geuss there just focusing on my fitness seeing how im new to the game

Speed--thanks for the props. I see you up there in Philly--hometown of one of my fave fighters MATTHEW SAID (from the 80s). That fight he had with tuff JERRY MARTIN was a good one back in the day.
Yeah, I do coach fighters here in St. Louis. Both amateurs (and pros now too). I also coach track/distance runners: long distance and middle distance (400-mile). I boxed for about 13 years myself going back to the mid
60's including amateurs and being a professional sparring partner.....So I learned a lot from watching, studying and fighting the old school heads
While we're still on speed, another lil thing boxers can do is CLAP ya hands as fast as possible for as long as possible. It's just a real simple exercise to build those wrists and FINGERS (which go underrated in their importance to punching)
May you continue to do well and accomplish your goals in boxing.
