Hey guys, i joined the forum and thought it would be good place to get some information/advice.
I'll start off by saying i'm from South Africa (but living in the UK now). Growing up there it is a really rough place so i've been in my fair share of street fights. I never actually stayed at a boxing club for long because of moving all the time. Out of the boxing clubs i went to all the coaches said i punch hard. Now i know boxing is not all about a hard punch...if you don't have good defense, speed, agility, technique, strength, stamina it doesn't mean much.
I just need some input on whether other people notice/think the same as what the coaches did. Here is a video of me punching the bag:
youtube.com /watch?v=SUhKIoo8Y7U
It's not a video of me showing defense or anything like that, merely just messing around on the punch bag. Don't know if these factors matter but yeah: I'm 21, 5'11-6', and weigh around 155lbs (70-71kgs)
Thanks
