^I Made This Short Video When I Was Messing Around In My Shop

I watched 20seconds worth. All I needed.

do you train in a gym?

here's why I ask:

A decent boxer would floor you in the first round. I'd draw you in, catch your jab and throw a left hook that would send you nighty night. you jab and let your hand come back very low. Also, your left hand should be closer to you jaw, but it's not as bad as your bad jab habit. Your elbows are also out too far.

my trainer would literally frighten you on the mits he'd hit you so hard. But it would end your bad habits.


But, you do seem to have pretty good pop on your jab, but you need to use more leverage when throwing your cross.

do yourself a favor and go to a gym. it's the only way to learn.

you also badly telegraph your jab.

but good foundation. plenty of potential. now go join a gym!!

why is this in the MMA forum? 85 degrees? quit being such a candy ass it was 104 today and all this week. Good snap on the jab...need a tighter guard and I've always felt that if you are going to double the jab you should follow with a straight right otherwise like von said you get ko'd with a hook.

Thank You Guys And Von If I COuld Get A Trainer Or Even Get Into A Gym I Would But That Isnt Possible For Me Cuz There Are No Gyms Close To My Liveing Area.

Everyones Always Told Me That The Jab Is Used To Set Up Punches And Also Keep Your Oppenet Away So If Your Using The Jab To Keep The Opponent Away Then I Wouldnt Through A LEFT Cross Cuz It Is Merely Just To Keep Them Away

But I Do Understand That I Keep My Hands Low And Elbows To Far Out Im Trying To Work On That But Old Habbits Die Hard I Use To Go Out To The Bag And Just Hit It But Now Ive Decided To Actually Get Your Peoples Advice So That I Can Actually Get Better And Train Harder And More Corectly

Van I Was Hitting The Bag For 7 minutes St8 In 85 Degree Weather thats what was being said by 85 degress cuz my punching bag is outside in my shop and it get pretty hot in there.

How the hell do you manage to type with a capital letter at the start of every single word you type. Either there is some setting you switch on when you type or you take twice as long to type since you are searching for the shift key every time.

Sorry i know thats not relevent but its bugging me

lol. I never noticed that. That sht's WHACK!!!!


Hey Boxer, we also need to see more footwork. I want to see you loosen up and float a bit more. Circle the bag. Jab and move right, etc. Throw some hooks and upercuts.. mix it up.

Yeah The Capitals At The Begginning Is My Style Of Typing I Started Doing It Cuz I Hate How Uncaptilized Words Look Crappy So Ive Learned How To Type Like This And Can Type Faster Then Most People Who Type Normaly. I Love It It Looks Better Then Uncapitalized Words

Good pop in ur job. Ur left hand u want it closer to your chin also. I see ur tryna bob and weave but its all good for a beginner, but aye u lean ur head to much to ur right when jabbing, and as mentioned earlier by another poster, a left hook would have u staring at the cieling
You need to mix ur punches up also. All your doing their is throwing loads of jabs and then maybe a cross. U need to throw some "body" shots, work on both the head and body. Try coming close to the bag as though u fighting on the inside and throw some combos.

If you never went to a gym it's quite good, I think indeed there's something to do...but you didn't menton you age. (quite important).

Im my humble opinion, there's no way out => find a gym buddy, otherwise you won't progress anymore.

Good point SEB. Improving without proper guidance would be very difficult. I think it's possible to get a better on the bag, but the subtleties of the science will be lost--and there's a wealth of knowledge to be learned. It's also literally impossible to learn defence without proper training. It's the kind of thing you need to learn through training and having someone throw punches at you, otherwise the basics will never fully sink in. For example, your jab hand will NEVER come back to where it should be until a trainer pops you in the kisser with his mit.

keep it up though. maybe you could open your own gym. If you build it, trainers will come.

I Turned 17 July 2nd and Maybe When I get Some Mitts Ill Have My Lil Bro Do that For Me, Tell Him To Hit Me Every Time He Sees An Opening And Not To Hold Back Im Sure That Will Teach Me I Know It Would Be Better If I had A Trainer But As I Have Said In My Many Other Post I Dont Have A Trainer And No Gym Close To My Area I Would Love For My Parents To Like Win The Lottery Or Something So I Could Open A Gym And Pays Some trainers To Help Out Or Something

Cuz As you Can Probably Tell Im Not A Little Spoiled Rich Kid Who Gets Whatever He Wants,, Evrything I Have, Ive Paid For All My Boxing Gear And Everything And Thats Why Its So Hard For Me To Get To Go To A Gym Cuz My Parents Dont have The Money To Be Able To Drive Me there And Pay For The Gym Fees So I Have To Get A Good Job Then Probably Get On My Mom And Dads Insurance For The Truck So I Can Drive It Down There To The Gym. Which The Closest One Ive Found Is Like 115 Miles Away But Im Not Sure If Its An Actually Gym Yet.

It Looks Better Then Uncapitalized Words

That's where you're wrong. There's a reason for capitalized and lower case letters. Reading your posts gives me a headache

now i'm curious about the area you're living buddy... is it at the country side or what ?

c'mon, there must be something for teh young somewhere ?? otherwise, if you ever plan to do the university, they often have a good basic boxing gym over there...
