Thanks for the tips y'all. Especially the left hook one.
As for "Rockin' ". Maybe you could give tips instead of needlessly saying things? I do just fine against things that hit back.Comment

There is no leverage on your punches because you don't pivot properly and don't have an idea of how to use your legs, hips and torso to generate power. You arm punch too much when you need much more body involvement. There is nothing on your jab and it invites someone to come over the top with a right hand. If you are going to take the risk of getting close enough to hit someone where you can be hit you want to deliver a payload that makes the risk worthwhile. If I was fighting you your punching would not concern me at all I would only be wary of your legs.
The best advice I can give you is to take a 15 KG weight and hold it accross your chest and turn your torso and hips while observing yourself in a mirrow to increase the range of motion and become more dynamic.The weight will make you recruit your body and give you an insight in the kind of body involvement that is needed that is presently missing. When you get the feel of it your punching will improve.Comment

I used to use gloves now I use full power punching with wraps only. It's a great filing and also great way to teach snapping punches!Comment

A few things that I noticed;Originally posted by Gfreak045 View PostHey y'all, just wondering if y'all could give me some feed back on my boxing in this video. You can ignore the kicks and such (Unless you happen to be a kickboxer). I train at an MMA gym, and don't have any pure boxing instruction. So if I could get a little bit of feedback here that'd be amazing.
Thanks in advance! (If it's in the wrong forum I apologize)
edit: Apparently I can't post the video until after 15 posts...
Just put "/watch?V=BILCGYnONE0" after the Youtube url if you want to watch it.
Thanks!
1) You are quite heavy footed, both heels flat most of the time - makes it really hard to pivot and put together combinations. You need to be much lighter on the balls of the feet to release the hips which is how punches are thrown correctly.
2) The left hook - You have a habit of stepping around with the hook and throwing it when your feet are not set correctly. Basically you are stepping and swinging at the same time which could be a recipe for disaster. I have seen a lot of MMA guys do exactly the same thing, so it may be coached this way. I don't know anything at all about MMA so forgive me if this is the case.
3) Hand position - without being hyper critical your hands are far to low, even when you are not throwing. Tighten up the guard and make sure you return your hands to the chosen guard after every punch, not just at the end of the combo.
4) Stance - For me I think this is where a lot of your issues start. You cannot throw kicks from a narrow 'Boxing stance' correctly - you will lose balance really quickly. Leaves the kicks out and focus on leading with the left hip and rotating the pelvis for punching range / power. Thai boxers use a much squarer stance (hips facing) for balance and the ability to block kicks with the outer shin (lead leg) and maintain good balance. Boxers do not need to kick (obviously) so a more narrow stance helps minimize themselves as a target and makes nimble, tighter footwork much more easier and effective.
Shadow box, shadow box and shadow box (in front of a larger full length mirror) and have a boxing coach watch you and correct where needed.
When you get bored with that, then shadow box some more.
When that gets boring...do some more shadow boxing.
I have just given some very simple observations, I hope they help.
Good luck and keep shadow boxing
