Should i start going to a gym?(bag video)

[Spartacus Sully]

i didnt read his post coz its too long, but relax . u can tell footwork just based on positioning/balance etc.
however, he is probably referring to the original video. although u can further improve that aspect of ur game for sure. keep it up!

Not really. its a bag video and most people cant even tell when some one is trying to move the bag, when some one is trying to punch the bag, and when some one is trying to counter as its coming in.

I feel like this guy could watch a video of ali on the bag and hed critique it. It seems like he just dosnt understand how to hit the bag outside of holding it still, then jab, right, left hook, hold it still, jab, right, left hook, hold it still jab, right, left hook.




Just look at how much he leans forward, why does he keep throwing punches when they arnt fully extended? why does he keep punching the bag when its way too close and headed right for him? Horrible bag video, dude really needs to get to a gym, learn some foot work, and learn how to guage proper distance.

IMO you cannot adequately access some ones foot work based on a bag video unless it is absolutely awful. furthermore, there isn't a single point in the video that you quoted, that you see below my knees, so how you can tell what im doing with my feet is quite the mystery.

IMO I used my feet quite a lot, quite correctly, I was going to a gym, and the coach was quite impressed.

You need to find a new gym.

Oh wow, i'll be honest I could only sit through about 40 seconds of that. That's how bad it was. The good news is this was posted in 09 so hopefully you've found a gym and have worked on whatever it is you called yourself doing in that video.

TS got any up-to-date footage? Would like to see what 5 years of practice, or not, has done

You need to learn how to not say ****** stuff that you cant back up.

critiquing foot work when you cant even see past a persons knees? get punched one too many times in the head? Get good and that wont happen as much.

Not really, been dealing with some health issues, starting to get back into things a little.

heres another video from around the same time as the one you linked (late 2010).

When you throw a punch and don't move, it means you aren't using your feet. Apart from, if I can see your knees, I can tell what you're doing with your feet. That being nothing. You didn't step with a punch once. Threw wildly, then went for a little walk.

Doing the ol' faux footwork routine of throwing some punches, then moving about randomly for a bit is not good footwork. It means nothing and has no use.

I was actually trying to be helpful. It's the foundation for good boxing. Without good footwork, you lack a good base to work off. It's a classic mistake of beginners, and I don't mean that offensively. In that video you were a beginner, according to your own post. I'd still suggest going back to the beginning and starting back over with your footwork, then building your offense from that strong base.

Anyway, I was civil in my initial post, but since you're a ****, **** off.

Your jabs are lazy and you continue to admire your work every time you throw a combination.

You're the only dude on here who can't take critisism. To answer the initial question yeah you should start going to the gym.
