*VIDEO* Smuggled Cuban Boxing Secrets!

Its very good. Having them know exactly why some footwork will work in certain combos and why some wont work and also keeping them in balance and never over committed is the next task: Otherwise they'll get caught in the shift of being erratic for no reason.

Is this serious? This guy is acting like he is bringing secrets from God and doing seminars on stuff that anybody that teaches boxing knows, or should know. Does this guy think that they only know this in Cuba? How does one get this type of gig?

He says a ton of things that are very true, very true, I just didn't know that those things were Cuban secrets.

lol I almost axed the first post from him as it was indeed very spammy and sensationalized, but figured, not a lot going on in here and the stuff isn't necessarily wrong or terrible. Just, how would you say...packaged for quick sale.

I'm very impressed to say the least! I trained for four years under three time kickboxing world champion Eric "El Tigre" Castanos, who was a boxing coach to Jermain Taylor (when he was world champ) back in 2003-ish and since then have continued to train with many other boxers and kickboxers down in Miami. I've worked out in a few boxing gyms and I've never seen anyone break down training sessions in this exact manner. I've also never been to the boxing gym where I walk in and see the entire room shadow boxing in such a manner either... I've seen world champs shadow box and they DO look like this... but the average Joe at a boxing gym... no! At Coach Miranda's gym, EVERYBODY was shadow boxing like this.

Do people know about pivoting and striking, side stepping and striking, bringing the rear shoulder forward then jabbing, etc.? Of course. And coaches will show it, boxers will rep it, and then put the technique away in their back pocket and only pull it out occasionally. They usually have a shadow boxing routine of repeated combos and movements, occasionally tossing in a new movement or angle.

If I were to grab the majority of boxers and do the same demo where I say, "Jab... jab... jab..." everyone would throw the same forward step jab to the nose... and if I were to say, "1, 2... 1,2... 1,2..." everybody would throw the same forward boring 1,2... well... everyone except you guys

I'm not exaggerating the least bit when I tell you that at Coach Miranda's camp, EVERYBODY, by default, will always change it up. So if you were to try to do that same demonstration over there... you would never get the same result...

So yes, I consider that a "secret" of their success. It is about the philosophy... and the best part, like most of you mentioned, it is SIMPLE and easy to embrace. Furthermore, it fits for any style of fighter.

Somebody mentioned a "quick buck"... I'm just sharing information with you guys. Yes, I hope that you guys like the info, join my email list, and down the road, if I end up creating a DVD series or something, maybe you would be interested - but right now I'm simply giving you guys free info that I picked up from a trip that cost me some money and took up a considerable amount of my time. It was info gathered while training amongst some real talent, including an Olympic bronze medalist, and with Coach Miranda, whose reputation is stellar in Cuba.

I'm new on this forum but I've been posting videos, articles, etc. for the past nine months since the creation of my website on October 2011. If you guys like the stuff I'm putting out, I'll continue to do so regardless if anybody attends my seminar or buys any future DVDs (I have nothing created at the moment). I'm just building my list and having fun sharing info that I've picked up over the past 17 years I've been training.

I come in peace

Welcome aboard.
I like your stuff and all input is great.
If anything this forum will test your sense of humor the further you go the larger it gets.
It could also test your own flexibility of mindset concerning some of the others training methods too, you can read about on past pages here you will see utube vids on what they speak about as well.
Scraps work is cutting edge.

.<-Oh and this means people are just taking the piss.
