I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on what I'm currently doing ok and what I'm doing wrong. I'm a beginner, just started my fifth month boxing. Thanks!

Thanks a lot!
Post more and I think it will let you do it.
I can't get into your link. I am a IT genius as well.
That makes two IT geniuses then lol. How about now?Quote:

Firstly, welcome to the forum and well done on posting the video.
Anyone training in boxing needs to be commended as it is not an easy sport to learn. You look as if you had worked out hard before you started filming to hit the bag.
I would say you are a good hooker but need to work more on your straight punches. The jab needs to be thrown with more intent. You need to snap your punches and ended up slapping quite a lot.
You need to work on your foot work and balance to be more effective hitting the bag.
Keep it up and enjoy it.
Thanks a lot mate, appreciate the feedback. To answer your comments:Quote:

- I always do some rope and footwork drills before starting, but clearly need to do more of it! What do you think was lacking the most in my footwork? I think that when I'm not engaging the bag I tend to cross my feet a bit too much, will keep an eye out for it.
I intend to take at least some private lessons in the near future/keep going to normal classes.
Thanks a million my friend.
Cheers.
Normally when someone slaps there punches they are tired or rushing.
I would set my feet and throw the punches slowly and without power. Get the technique right first, twist the body and snap the punches on impact. Then put power into it later when you have the confidence that you are throwing the punches right.
Practice the punches no need for resistance bands. Throwing combination drills are good. My favourite is jab, jab, right hand and left hook.
Balance in your foot work is important and rope work helps. You did cross your feet a lot.
No need for private lessons join a gym and learn in a group.
I pretend I am a particular boxer I like and try and be them. :)
Keep posting your development.

With regards to combinations, I think I'm quite predictable as I'm usually throwing 1,2,3's or 1,1,2,3's, gotta mix it up a bit more I reckon.
Will post another video in a few months time to compare!
Cheers mate.
You are punching with your arms- there is no weight transference going on.Quote:

I'm gonna make drilling that my main priority. It's annoying because on the first rounds I try to focus on it, but once I get tired it goes completely through the window. Thanks for the feedback.Quote:
