Only watched a minute or so of each, but not too bad.

By square, he means your upper body. Your feet may be back, but your rear shoulder is forward, squaring off your shoulders with the bag. This makes your jab have a bit more umf, but your "rear" hand loses power, and makes you a much bigger, easier to hit target.

Also, you almost seem to have a thai boxing stance, as opposed to a traditional western boxing stance. Your rear hand is high, palm outward (unless the glare is really messing with my vision, which is possible).

Not bad overall, and definately an improvement. Keep up the good work.

Utlilize some rhythm in your training.. bounce a bit.. duck and parry every so often. Use your hook as well as an uper cut. On the retraction of your jab your hand lowers, which is lunch for a counter puncher.. keep up the training..

Ok Ill Work On that My Jab hand Lowers Or My Left Does?
But Yeah Ill Work In Some Foot Work And More Body Movement

add some more variation. mix some uppercuts and hooks in there. a combo i like doing(in orthodox) is left upper, straight, hook, straight.

not a bad jab. Sometimes when you throw your combo your right hand is down.

Also, as someone said, it's almost spot on for muay thai. Bring your jab hand up and rear hand down. It's too high. Also tuch your left elbow WAAAAY in. You're completely exposing your ribs. That's also why being too square is bad. Turn your laft hand inwards and rest it on your cheek.

it's also tough to grade your footwork. Jab and stride, then drag your back foot.

How The Heck Do You Throw And Uppercut On A Punching Bag

Very carefully ;)

Basically you can throw an upper to the body, but you're gonna have trouble finding it's jaw.

Otherwise, they have uppercut bags, etc that you can buy (they actually have some weird looking bags, that are basically just a heavy bag, with a fat ring at just above headlevel, so you can throw uppercuts on a normal bag....not sure how effective that thing is, though)

Good advise about the rhythm, put some good funky music on and move to it. Get a groove going and all your punches come out smooth and you not such a target, I think one of the biggest mistake people make on the heavy bag is they see only a heavy bag,.. You got to see that bag as a ferocious opponent waiting to counter every time you thow a shot , and don’t just stand there flat footed , move that head circle that bag, feel that music. Watch some vintage Evander Holyfield you can see that rhythm he had. Its like he hear that music in his head and moves to it

One thing I noticed is YOU'RE NOT DANCING AROUND. You're standing still when you punch. It wouldn't hurt to practice moving around a little bit, and not just stay in the same spot. ;) But other than that, I can't say I have any problems. You're better than me, that's for sure. ;D

:coolclick: for being a southpaw like me.

I dont know if you can see this or not but look how much room i have to move around. lol like a 10 foot area

i was kinda impressed. good hand speed and being a southpaw is cool. you got quite a cool style

you have great hand speed. you dont throw enough body shits and its the same punches over and over again. mix it up. but still you are good

Could you post a video where we can see your feet? I can't really tell from this but it looks like your legs could do with bending a pit, you're too upright (I think ;))

I would only suggest 'dancing around' if you are practicing foot work, not brilliant for conditioning if you do it all the time... a lot of people do it to coast through a work out whilst looking like they a working...

Depends wether you focus on conditoining or technique in the session.

oh yeah, and theres quiet a bit of improvement between the videos... first one you mainly use your arms to punch... the other I can see you are using your body more... keep trying to develop a feel for it and once you get a 'foot hold' you can develop a lot of power by yourself....

Give it a few weeks then post another video...

I wish every one in this forum had a digi cam/youtube makes it a lot easy to help people out ;)

Agreed...as soon as my girlfriend gets back with our cam, I'm headin straight to the gym to get some vids.

Try to think of your bag as an opponent, instead of something that you are just hitting pointlessely. Pretend your bad is going to thorwo a shot at you which will get you moving on your toes and ducking/weaving etc.

Orite m8,

i looked at your first video and noticed that you were throwing your hands about when you had stop punching, get them straight back to the side of your face ready to defend.

on the second video you change that your hands are right back to your face after evrey shot, also your hands are looking prety nippy, just get on them toes and move around abit more, take it easy at first and when you feel more comfortable start to move as the bag swings in and out (follow it)

not bad though m8 keep it up,

im only 16 myself so i cant help you as much as the other people on here but i hope you take it in

cheers

I saw the video. it looks pretty good, You keep your elbows in, very good, and you bring you hands back for defense, very good. You got to work on head movement brother ! , bend at your knee's to slip punches, and generate more power, your a little stiff , get some music going in there. a little hip hop for rhythm or some Pantera which is also good bag music . When you throw that str8 left, pivot more on your foot and get that hip in there. follow through. Remember Don't punch to the bag, punch through the bag. Good luck Bro !

Thank You All For Your Help I Will Try All You People Suggestions Out And Remember I Don't Have Much Room To Work With I Would Love To Have My Bag In My Basement But My Mom Says It Shakes The House To Much :-\
But In The Shop is Just Fine I Guess But These Videos I'm Just Trying To Critique Myself With Everone Else's Help Because I Want To Get Better And Don't Want To End Up Just Being A Street Scrapper I Want To Be A Boxer And I Know The Only Way I Can Do This Is With A Trainer Which Isn't Easy In My Situation But If I Could Have A Trainer The Money Would Be No Problem Because I Would Get A Job But The Distance Having To Travel Would Be The Problem But I'm Not Lucky Enough I Keep Hoping That Someone In My Town Will Finally Realize That Boxing Is Popular And They Need To Get Off There Lazy A** And Get Something Done About It ;D
But Yeah Thank You Guys For Helping Me Out Keep the Comments Coming I Need As Much Help As I Can Get

Well, first off, you asked for advice....

If you want to criticize it, dont ask for it....

For one thing, you are to square with the bag,,,,,MEANING, your upper body is to square with the bag, lead with your right shoulder a bit more....

I would also work on putting a little more bend to your knees, you are throwing all your power with your arms and not utilizing the rest of your body. Bring your elbows down a little closer to the body, with that frame, you need all the defence you can get...It will also increase the speed of your punches...

Dont push your punches so much, put some more pop to them,,,you might say something against that, but your hitting with a pair of 2-3 oz gloves on, get some 12-14 oz. Bag Gloves, it will help with the work out...

Dont let your hands float around your face to much...it leaves you open for to many counters...

All in all, with some serious work and real guidance, you could possibly do something....Get into a gym somewhere and get with a trainer...You need some hands on stuff...

Good Luck,

Coach...

Just finished watching the second Vid...

Look at yourself in your videos and listen to what I am telling you...

First, look at your legs..
There is no flexibility there...If you would slightly widen your stance a bit and put a slight bend in your knees for when you snap that jab out there, you'll get more pop in your punch...

Second, Something I mentioned about your elbows....
Look how far out from your body you keep them....As much as you might think you feel comfortable doing it, you better get them down to your body....Also, watch your punches when you throw them,,,see how your elbow stays high in the air when you throw the punches?? you will want to start practicing keeping that elbow down also, this will allow for your whole body to become part of the punch itself...

When throwing the punches, dont let your feet move around so much when throwing, you are taking away from the punch....If you want to move, do it in between throwing....The only punches I train my fighters to throw on the move are Jabs and thats more for Defense than offense....

When moving, start practicing movement with your feet as if you're learning dance steps....

When moving forward, move front foot with back to follow(Never skip in or shuffle in, use some stride and relax when moving). With side to side movement, if moving right, move right foot first and vice versa with left movement...

Throwing hooks is simple, you want to work with you feet and hips in place, dont change up stance when throwing a hook, especially with your lead hand....It will get you into trouble....

For more advice on learning to properly box, I suggest making an investment into some videos...

The best I have found for simple instruction would be the videos put out by Title Boxing...

http://store.titleboxing.com/video-t...al-videos.html

I see potential, good potential...

But, without a trainer, I dont see you getting beyond your level you are now....

A trainer is extremely important for any fighter...

Good Luck,

Coach

Thanks For Your Help Your Ausome Emphasize More On What You Mean By My Elbow Is To High I Watch The Video Are You Talking About when I Throw The Punch Or When Im Blocking Because I Know I Need To Keep My Elbows At My Side And Im Trying To Retrain My Self Because B4 My Training Was Just Hitting The Bag As Close As To Perfection As I Thought It Was But Then I Got A Video "How Hit The Heavy Bag" By Title Boxing And I Say That This Video Has Made Me Better Already And Ive Only Had It For A Week or 2 But The First Video Is Just Me Poorly Hitting The Bag The Second One Is My Trying Not To Hit The Bag Poorly And Trying To Work On Some Things That The Video Tells Me
I Wasnt Jumping Your Case About Telling Me Im To Square I Was Wanting You To Explain Your Self Because To Me That Makes No Sence And Im Trying To Get As Much Help As Possible Im Still Looking For A Close Trainer To Me So If Any Of YOu Trainers Have Some Connections Check it OUt For Me I Live In Libby Montanat United States And Am Looking For the Closest Trainer To Me But Any Info Would Help And Yes Ive Used http://www.boxinghelp.com/montana.html

youve improved quiet abit but what poom said was right you do stand alittle too squared, what he means by that is your chest is almost facing your oponent to correct that point your right shoulder out to your oponent/bag so you dont stand to square, you also need alittle flexibility your too upright and stiff and your arms are too far out and high up, your not protecting your body. hope it helps

Yur handspeed isn't too shabby, it's actually pretty good for a starter, but one thing you need to remember is to keep those elbows down. If you notice, real close, your very vunerable for body shots, cause your elbows are a lil too high. Bring your hands down a bit, cause you can weave, slip & bob punches if you practice enough. another thing is to throw more body punches. Mix it up from head to Body....Body to Head..Practice Moving around throwing doubles jabs then Straight Rights then moving back to your right...If your Southpaw, that's good, cause so am I, but I'm Right-Handed...It's just more confortable for me to Box in Southpaw position. I still utilize the Orthodox position though. For Instance, When you throw a Hard Left Cross, you can bring your left foot forawrd at the same time, cautiously, and do a tricky switch to Orthodox and IMMEDIATELY throw a left jab and back-off, then a QUICK QUICK Immediate Right Cross...That's a killer combo, and it messes with thier mind. Your shoulders are a lil too square, I must agree with the other dude. Your a good boxer, I don't doubt that, I'm just giving you Constructive Critisism so take advantage of it, okay. Keep working hard, and remember to do 1 Minute Flurry Workouts too...Hit the bag fast as you can for 1 minute non-stop, then 30 seconds rest and so on...Work your way up...GOOD JOB....Train Like a Champion..

Definetely in improvement from the first video. At first, you didnt have your hands up at all, when you were doing the backyard stuff, but on the bag you keep them up great. And just like everyone one else said, mix it up, and throw some different punches like hooks and uppercuts and then get some combos. Because nobody likes one of those 1-2 fighters. You want to have variety. A combo I like which follows throw smoothly would be 1-2-3-4-2-4. But just basically what everyone already covered. Keep it up.

can you explain what punches 123424 are because i know 1 2 are the jab and right and 123 is jab right jab? but what is 4?

1-jab
2-right
3-hook
4-uppercut

My fault, its actually 1-2-4-3-2-3 because its easier to go from a uppercut to a hook, than going from a hook down to an uppercut. More fluent motion.
