Thread: Ideas

As some of you know im doing a video,a lot of it is on Boxing. Id be interested to see what people think the format would or should be as regards technique learning. Let me explain, Ive got Hundreds of Biomechanical goodies, for Muscle correcting, and Posture while doing movement for each Punch or movement before the Punch or Punches plus Defence mechanics. At 1st I was going to do the technique, then do all the bits after. Now talking to a few of my aids who are helping me, Im not sure. Whats your take be interested to here.

Hey Scrap,

I'm not a hundred percent sure what you're planning to include in the video but from what I see you take a very scientific approach to boxing. Personally I think it might be a good idea to give a quick overview of theories before getting into the techniques and applications of the theory in practice.

There's this one video on youtube that kind of does what I'm saying with the boxing stance. He basically uses a whiteboard and explains and illustrates the theory in almost a lecture format then goes into the ring and displays the practical application... now, i dont really know how correct his theory is, as I am just a beginner and learning myself, but I really enjoyed his method of teaching.

The weird thing is I can only find part 1 and 2 and then 6 and 7.. but I'll post it up just to give you an idea of his format.









.. anyways, that's just one way of approaching, I'm sure everyone has their own preferences.. I just think that it's best to have format that uses various approaches so you can really get through to people with varying styles of learning.

Good luck with the production of ur video... I cant wait to see the final product, i just hope I havent developed too many bad habits at the gym by then.

Show both sides of the coin so to speak:

maybe some real live footage of correct ring craft using each move or showing a few moves linked up in a flowing system; showing it all in action pointing out the benefits of how and where it takes them to in balance and added power, pointing it all out verbally (with a voice overdub) the upper hand they can expect to gain from it etc.

Maybe a small section at the end of each section of common mistakes and habits not to fall into with footage pointing out how it traps you into the wrong positioning as well.

Your a busy beaver aren't you . Good luck with this project too mate.

Thanks, my problem is writing things down, there are techniques and movement, Stretching manouvers that replicate the actions biomechanicaly of punching and imitate and correct movement. I was wondering whether to include that with Technique or keep it seperate in another section.

I would either group them together right away.


Or have them separate, but then link them somehow.


You do know you can produce the dvd with separate chapters, its quite easy to do.


You definatley could have the chapters running in sync with each other and have them separate but running in order.

I dont know if you can link chapters but its worth an ask, I cant see why not.You would just have linked buttons in the main menu.

Chapters makes learning easier because they can study and remember where they were up to and then can go back to one section very easily instead of the fast forward thing.

The more chapters the easier the dvd is to use over time.
My mate makes surf dvds this way and they are real stand outs from the normal ones.

Good idea, a lot of the stuff is explaining the antagonist muscles and why over time they stimulate bad form. Its a sort of bit part hole idea on mechanics and how to sort it.

Completly agree with Andre's last post, that's a great way of organizing the dvd.

Whichever way you decide on the format u have a customer here .

Biomechanics, Correxct form, neurons, posture, oral stability, feel over visual - they'll b the stuff that sets u apart from most (all even?) other instructional stuff available.

When learning technique maybe it would be beneficial to have some of this stuff drilled into them already and in the back of their minds while they're goin through the specifics of technique. Could be tricky as goin too scientific too early may lose some viewers, but would definitely try to have this stuff as an ongoing theme throughout the video, with frequent reminders about the chapters on muscle correcting exercises.

Bomp Im aware of that as regards science . I can explain it better than writing it down. Thats what Ive been doing the last 40 years, get befuddled typing yet can talk all day on the subject . Having said that Im getting a few people fronting it I hate cameras they want to get involved, so let them do it I say. That idea of Andres I like talked to the camera men and they like the idea, plus there are a few well known people want to be involved. Most of the stuff is new with a different slant on doing things, plus we know it works, every one who has worked the method for 3 years became a champ in the pros,38 of them.

Don't be too hard on your written pieces of wisdom, they can be deciphered with practise . Can genuinely say, of all the info available on the net, that the source I've gained the most useful knowledge on boxing, and athletic mechanics in general, is a stranger on a random forum which is quite remarkable. Cheers for sharing so much, and I'm looking forward for the end product.

Thats nice of you Ive pm you

Have you got a digital voice recorder mate?

Be good to just chat into one each time you have an idea.They are so easy ,just press the button and talk,even while driving along,or in the gym or at home working one on one, record everything.

Could use it all for the explanations instead of writing stuff down ;then they can just listen to it all and set out the ground plan from that instead of off paper.
