great speed...keep your eyes on the target though for starters..CHIN DOWN. EYES UP

looks pretty good!you seem to turn your hooks over far 2 much (not that i am an expert or anything)

[jberg]

i think a lot of it is wat i would call body shots. i mean it wouldnt hit the head of a guy the same height as you. also, between jab, put your left hand back near your face. you have a tendency to hover, which wont help you block shots.

i think with a little hard work and dedication, and a full membership at a boxing gym.. u can become a very successful amatuer boxer. your young enough , and based on this video, skilled enough.. u remind me of me a little when i started... i was good on a heavybag, hand fast hands and power.. just had to move to the next level and join a gym and train more serious and start sparring.. good luck u will be great man, just stay dedicated to the sport.

and my one piece of advice is: it looks like u dont know how to throw ur hook, either with ur palm down or palm faced in... towards your body..

try to throw hooks with ur palm facing in..

good luck

i can throw my hooks both ways but i prefer this way as i ghet more power and is quier and feels much more natrual for me,


anyway im gonna clean my garage out a bit and post anoter one

thanx for everyone who comented back it really helps me

[punchDrUnK MONK]

yea bro i didnt mean like u didnt know how to throw it. i shoulda said it differentlyy... u know how to throw it both ways, i was the same, like tryin to figure out which was was proper.. my trainer told me its palm in, and luckily thats the one i stuck with from training at home... but ya u look good man, get in good shape then run to a gym asap get started. u will be sparring in no time

i go to a gym and have been for 1 year im sparring

[potatoes]

I got in from school and thought i would test my new caera out, went into my garage and went on the bag for 1 min which i havent used in ages,

i wasnt tired or anything like that so i wont come up with excuses, but i was very limted for room and i had clutter all over the floor and all my shots are bent arm shots , im 6'2 and ive recently turned 16 , so i usally jab and move and keep distance which is what im good at, but on this i had no room so im throwing hooks ect which i need to improve,
i can alredy see i shud throw a lil higher, mabey push hands up a bit,
you see alot from a video of your self,, in this vid you may notice i do unnsecairy head movment or shots, i dunno.. but i was trying just pack in stuff in 1 min usally i would usally just and tire myself out, or practice techniqe

personally i wasnt happy with this video of me,

please post comments and help....thank you


o yeah i added the music to make it a bit more intresting

Me on the bag

In view of the situation I'd say you were doing alright. You made a number of mistakes, many of which have already been mentioned. However, these mistakes might have a lot to do with the situation, garage, camera etc. One thing anybody who knows boxing can see is that you obviously have potential. The question is, how will you develop your talent and will you make good use of it?

At your age, and with your natural ability, you can easily develop a set of boxing instincts if you put your mind to it. The older you get the more difficult it becomes. Put yourself on a program of discipled training, a clean lifestyle and keep your mind on what you need to do be successful. If you have the motivation you can go a long way in boxing.

Regarding the hooks ..... it should definately be palms in, other than that, and bringing your left back to guard after throwing the jab .... not bad at all for your 1st year. Someone mentioned measuring the jab and telegraphing the right hand ... that will change with experience, try a double or even triple jab, perhaps switching to downstairs, then overhand right, the more you mix it up the less you will telegraph ... keep up the good work mate
