This one is a further progression of either of the first two tactics above. Except, instead of finishing with the body shot, you use that time to pivot, giving yourself a better angle and further confusing your opponent. So again; step outside on either the jab, or right hand. And instead of then throwing the body shot, you step your rear foot behind you, whilst pivoting on the ball of your front foot to rotate your stance even further to their off-side. You can then add any combination of punches to the end of this move.
If your opponent throws a shot before you have a chance to step out, then this option is perfect. So instead of stepping straight outside on the jab, you wait for your opponent to return with their own shot and you duck or roll under their punch, to their outside, and then pivot and throw your combination. This move will definitely work your reactions as well as your footwork. Another very effective tactic to use, once your opponent starts to get used to you using all of the variations of moving to their right, is to move to their left!
This is a common tactic against a southpaw. The best way to execute this is, throw a shot, shift to your right, and then throw again from there. Once they expect that, you then fool them by going the opposite way. To set this up, you take a small step to your left as you throw the cross.
Then skip step through, with your rear foot stepping to where the lead foot was on the cross. Finally, you add in the pivot to change angles. This will get you deep in behind your opponent as they turn to face you. These are all fairly fundamental boxing footwork movements. However, Lomachenko makes them look so good through his next-level timing, visual reaction, conditioning, and tactical patterns. In fact, some boxers can have a hard time getting it right. This will not only open up options in your counter but also your defence.
This elasticity comes from the calves and the upper body. Imagine pulling a baby tree backwards and then letting it go. This is the basic principle of pulling back momentarily to store the elastic energy and then releasing it forwards into a rapid counter.
Practice taking a small step back. Feel the calf absorbing your weight and coming under tension, building up the energy to spring forward. Practice your layback defence. Combine the two. Focus on feeling the tension build up in your calf and abs and then releasing the tension forwards. As you get used to this, remember to keep your chin tucked into your chest. The two main types of Pull Counter you should practice are the straight lean back and the square lean back.
With the straight lean back, you maintain your upper body stance, keeping your torso side-on to your opponent. Whilst the square lean back, you open your torso to your opponent. So your leading shoulder rotates away from them. The straight pull keeps you in position for the jab and cross, whilst the square pull sets up your body for the lead hook.
After a few weeks of practice, this should start to feel more natural. Start with the straight lean back and return with the jab, then try the cross and finally try adding the lead hook to the square pull.
Once you feel the bounce, your body will naturally develop some elasticity in this movement. This move combines an angle changing pivot, with the pull that we discussed above. It can be a very effective defensive move.
The pivot is a defensive move. Make sure you have more weight on your rear foot, with your knees bent, in a relaxed stance. To perform the move, you step your rear foot behind you, whilst pivoting rotating on the ball of your lead foot. You should end up with your whole stance rotated 90 degrees to where you started. This just adds an extra level of defence. Practice the pivot and add it into your sparring before trying to combine with the pull.
The pivot starts the movement. So first pivot and once the pivot has been initiated, start to simultaneously pull. If you get your timing right, even a big overhand right will struggle to connect. If you need to put even more distance between you and your opponent, in order to escape the ropes, then you can add in a step.
Keep the step small and fast, and it should be unnoticeable to your opponent, but it will add even more distance to your escape. Overall this is a very slick defensive manoeuvre that Canelo used to effectively get off the ropes and create space.
As it can be difficult to go from zero motion to moving straight forward, this boxing footwork drill gives you that initial movement, allowing you to launch forward. So you perform a pivot one way your rear-foot steps behind you, whilst rotating on the ball of your foot and then quickly shift to pivoting the opposite way and then move forward.
You can also pivot one way, then back to the centre, then back to the way you pivoted and then go forward with your attack. This is a good move if your opponent takes off and you want to chase them down.
This boxing footwork move is great for gaining ground and creating an angle whilst moving to the right. To perform this move you drop your weight and almost fall onto your lead foot. This loads the foot ready for the shot. From here with good balance you can throw a left hook or a right hand quite effectively.
This move works best moving to the right, but you can also throw in a feint to the left first and then switch it to the right. A variation on this is to throw the jab and then back skip into the drop step and drop your head if you want to come straight on to your opponent. This is one of my favourite moves for coming in and applying pressure. Another option is to switch angles off the right hand.
Perform the drop step as above, moving forwards, but then use the motion of the right hand to switch angles and move off to the right. There are a few good reasons why this is a great skill to develop:. Reason 1: As an outside fighter facing a pressure fighter, your opponent will have a hard time getting in on you if you can throw a long jab whilst moving to the right. Reason 2: It works well against southpaws on the alternate angle, in other words stepping inside.
Reason 3: It can be a little unorthodox. Your opponent may not be used to this approach. It can also be used to set up an angle against them. Reason 4: You can fade right while moving backwards, setting up an angle and creating distance simultaneously. Variation 1 — step the lead foot across in front of the rear foot, but slightly forward as you throw the jab. By moving slightly forward on each step your jab will have more power.
Pro tip: Throw the jab with a vertical fist thumb up , rather than pronating the hand as you normally would. But due to my family commitments I need to work. Bt still I want to learn boxing nd compete.
Despite of my age factor and time restrictions can I become victorious in boxing? Pls guide me. Hi I am completly new at boxing I am 14 years old. I wipl be working out 5 times a week usuallyfy average 50 minutes outsidee of boxing training.
I eat little junkfood. I Know the basics of boxing and I am looking for tips and work outs strategies. Weight 46 kgs last time I checked 1or two months ago. A few tips to counteract muscle cramps too…please. I fight even though it hurts, but it still is pretty annoying when you wanna make a good move but the ache just ruins it all. Throw some overhands over her jab.
Hard ones…that might be enough to keep her from launching so many jabs. I kinda have a weird tendency to forget things far too often. Thanks for the tip, dude! Sorry for bothering Mr. Johnny,but what weight i mean the weight of a person can learn boxing? I once wish to join a gym but instead they told me that im not fitted enough to learn it. The reason are that i have a overweight problem.
Its is to learn boxing,first thing required are fit body? Please help me as i love boxing but because im overweight so im unable to learn anything at all other than only jab. I am 41 and started just yesterday home boxing with a punching bag. My newly chosen way of exercise. This is a great tutorial for me as a beginner. Dude, you are the absolute dopest Johnny.
I have been looking for a website like this AND an article exactly like this. I stumbled upon gold on the internet here. I started hitting the bag to just deal with some personal stuff and fell in love with boxing instantly. I would love to try out amateur one day even have my coach picked out! Im still a bit confused about the jabbing. Like strike a jab or like throw a jab does it all mean punch with your left? Im doing a school project about how to box so can you reply ASAP? Hello im 20 years old 1.
I can only train during weekends. Hope you can help me. Im a 16 year old female. Ive been taking fitness boxing classes for about 6 months. Ive been thinking about trying to be trained for fights and sparring instead of doing fitness boxing.
I only make it to the boxing hym 2 times a week but run and condition on the days im not at the gym. Do you think 2 times a week at the gym is enough for a trainer to actually be interested in training me and eventually finding me fights? Can you please tell where to see while boxing into the opponents eyes or his gloves……and one more thing is there any trick to knw which of the punch your opponent is going to strike…or its all about practice.
Everything is all about practice. I used them for the first time today and my fingers are kind of sore especially my two pinkies. You could also buy training gloves made for women. Rival has several pairs. Also some glove brands are smaller than others. Improving your punching technique also helps as well. I think that in order for anything to become a conclusion you really have to use a bigger set of test subjects!
Yes even in sports like Badminton etc. So why would boxers be any different! Please answer me back. I am sure we could go a long way toward enlightening each other. I am like you I just want to see that people get Top Flight instruction. Thank You. Except only, my articles were not about being against weight-training or resistance training. And yes, I too, have spoken to pro athletes, and trainers. If you experienced something different, and you like it, please keep doing it.
This mentality goes with all my articles. The coach never thought i was all that great as he was focusing a great deal on his star pupil , so i eventually used what i had learned and it helped a great deal. The boxing left the schools program and never returned after that.
Every so often i practiced a bit of my boxing but not with a gym and because my brother was in high school by the time i was 12 i started learning wrestling from him that he had been learning in school.
So i practiced wrestling and still used my boxing instead whenever i faced a dilemma. I got into football the next year and started practicing wrestling less but shattered my wrist half way through the season. I also hurt the muscle a bit in my right shoulder playing football with college kids. When i was 14 everything was just fine and i felt great excelling beyond all others in every workout and was very healthy.
The following year i turned 15 and eventually got into a fight that i won by using wrestling which is what i had become a custom to. A boxing program started at that school soon after so i joined and began relearning boxing. Later on the same person i had fought before and not done so well against wanted to fight again so we did.
I used my relearned boxing and some wrestling and handled myself well. I soon found myself training in Wing Chun and found it very difficult as i was used to great power and constantly pushing my limits.
It was similar to a rigid standing meditation at first but i got a hang of it and began training intensely in it and also started practicing Muay thai and aikido. Soon afterwards i was learning pieces from other styles and began adding them to my repetwar. The following year i turned 16 and i decided to continue learning each of my styles individually and to take on weapon styles as well. I consistently played football with college guys and eventually broke my elbow but it didnt do much damage to my training for long.
The following year i turned 17 and a heavyweight wanted to fight me for fun so i thought it was a good opportunity to test my many skills. We fought and i soon realized that i was still using only my boxing and wrestling.
I went back to the drawing board and started going over the basics of everything i had trained in. I even began learning various forms of wushu to add to my daily forms practiced before working out and striking. I felt completely untouchable. The following year i changed schools ,yeah for my senior year , I no longer had any training partners whatsoever so i began training less and less. I only trained maybe once a month and did no form practice. I gained about 30 pounds and still walked around teaching a bit and being fine with not training because i was confident i could easily defend myself against any aggressor.
So i turn 18 and the routine continues to about the end of senior year but a pro ex world champion Taekwondo fighter that also happens to fight in mma matches is told about my love of fighting so we agree to fight sometime. Randomly i am told when i wake that it will happen after school that day. So the day of the fight i wake up and feel very sick , i then realize i have a text and am told i am expected to fight later in the day.
I get on the bus and the motion agitated me and i vomited. I did my best to feel better throughout the day and look tough. At the end of the day i realize i no longer have a mouth guard for if he chooses to use one and all i have are some mma gloves.
I still decide to head over and we start. He says the rules are no knees and no elbows which are a huge part of my offense and defense from muay thai and wing chun so to test if he understands that these strikes are attacking strikes that also defend i ask if i can use them in defense and he says yes so that solidifies that he doesnt understand those techniques Now we begin and the moment we started i jumped forward and put my foot on his knee. I immediately realized that i could have easily hurt him with this kick from Wing Chun and that i did not actually kick because i had become a custom to teaching it and always stopping before landing to not injure those i was teaching.
I then decided that wing chun is far to dangerous to use. So i take a stray punch to the jaw. I then begin to get up but am hit in the chin by a knee which he begins to say was an attempted kick later reviewed it and it was definitely a knee straight up to the jaw It left me very dazed and upset because i was told i could not use my knees and elbows. I end up on a liquid diet for a month and my doctors did a mediocre job leaving me with an overbite after i removed the metal screws.
Oh and i also have a titanium plate in my jaw. So after the liquid diet and losing about 45 pounds i decide its best to try and gain weight back and am having a great healthy routine at first. About two months go by and i lose my healthy routine and i move homes, but begin training at least a little every day.
I stop taining much and about three months go by and i move again i turn 19 and about 5 to 6 months go by of no training. I start training again and feel a bit off at first but get sick and get better to train about 3 weeks later.
I begin retraining in just about everything i know but on my own since there are no gyms near by. I train every other day for about 2 months and finally hear about a boxing gym that will open soon. The gym has finally opened so i visited today and it is a very small humbling gym with a fair cheap price.
The coaches seem great and i look forward to training Monday through Thursday to or 7. It was a good workout and had me gasping for air after just a few rounds. I would like to ask for any boxing tips to help me get started again and honestly for some good advice. I always wanted to box in tournament when i was younger but never got the chance. I more lately have considered to after some hard training have some amateur boxing matches mma fights or both.
I understand how different the two combat sports are and just wanna know what you think about me possibly doing one the other or both especially since i have a previous wrist break other arm elbow break and titanium plate in my jaw from that break. And also if i do well in either should i consider trying out a career in one or the other or just teaching. With all my experience i really do know skill wise i have a monstrous advantage over just about anyone and just need to get my body back in shape which is currently about 30 pounds off from being hugely fit.
Also how long is a good enough time to lose the weight in. Turns out im pounds above where I should be right now. Just another place to talk with skilled people is quite refreshing. Good luck and do your best. Hi my name is Israel I am 15 years old weigh and is 6 ft. Is it possible for me to teach myself then once I go to college out of state ill join a gym.

Basic Boxing Technique Basic Boxing Stance The basic boxing stance is supposed to be easy for beginners to attack and defend easily. Dominant hand in back if you are right-handed, put the right hand in back.
Weight evenly distributed across both legs, knees slightly bent. Feet diagonal, little wider than shoulder width apart, back heel raised. Elbows down, hands up. Head behind your gloves, chin slightly down, eyes see over the gloves.
Relax and breathe! Practice small pivots degrees as well as big pivots degrees. Maintain your stance and balance for better power and mobility. Make sure the non-punching hand is defending the other side of your body. Exhale sharply on every shot. All boxing punches are basically a variation of straight punches elbow straight , hook punches elbow sideways , or uppercut punches elbow down.

Thanks for all the work on here. Hey Johnny! Use its strength while making sure you also draw power from the legs and core. Bring the elbow of your front arm 90 degrees to your shoulder picture making a hook shape with the arm.
Simultaneously pivot on front toes, bringing hook forward in an arc and sending power through the core and the legs. Use the same movement as your front hook, except with the back arm. Keep elbow high, pivot on back toes, and power through the core and legs.
Lower your center of gravity, keeping elbows tight against the body. Shoot your arms from the hips and drive up underneath the bag as if you were trying to punch someone in the chin.
Pivot off the front foot and rotate your core through the punch. Come up and squeeze those buns! Try this back and shoulder blast from the popular bodybuilding and fitness pro.
