Teaching someone the fundamentals of boxing. Is there a right order?

[PerfectJab]

I always teach the younger ones in my family things in this order.

Moving around (without crossing feet) while pumping out a jab (variations) with the occasional straight being thrown. I will follow them around with the mitts or just work with them without gloves in a light sparring mimic.

I also chase them down and force them to engage in close. Start exchanging with them on the inside. Of course all light punches being thrown. I want them to get comfortable and know how to read the shots. Eventually I show them how to start throwing back.

Patience is most important though when teaching someone.

Thanks! This is really helpful.

This is something I always struggle with, no matter what I am teaching someone...
I have the tendency to get somewhat fanatical when it comes to proper technique, whether it is teaching boxing or how to drill hole in the wall. So I can be somewhat of a 'killjoy'. I am trying to learn just to bite my tongue now when asked to teach something.

And I'd be willing to bet if you took 100 people all trained to do something you know well.. they could pick out the ones who you taught. I'm apart of the percentage where I want to be trained in anything very detailed.

Steward was your trainer?

Did you spar with McCallum?

No. Jackie Kallen was my manager and I sparred with James Tony. Many times as an amateur but only once as a pro. When this occurred, Johnny and I had been working on rolling the right hand and then instantly firing one back. So the bell rings and I end up rolling one of James right hands and planting one back solid to his face. He then jumped on bike and man could he move. This was when James was Middle/Super middle. I couldn't believe how fast he was on his feet. I couldn't catch him.

All of us were down at the same gym back in the amateurs. Jackie was there with her first professional fighter. Can anybody name that fighter?

James Tony? Who is that? Must be some unknown lackluster bum.

Now, if you are talking about the legendary James Toney - one of my favourite boxers, spell his name right, man!
