Need DEB workout advice

Ya it's too high. You get used to throwing those sort of uppercuts and hooks you are setting yourself up to get countered. badly.

Nice workout with decent intensity though. If you want to practice getting off the flat of your feet, try moving around it without throwing punches first, and work on your movement. Then maybe shadow box a bit. It'll be easier to focus on it without throwing. Then approach it again.

Yeah Chris also mentioned it's too high, thanks for catching that Youngblood! I'm gonna lower it for today's workout and try it out.

I really liked the idea of focusing on my movement WITHOUT throwing like you said so I can concentrate a bit more on what my feet are doing.

Thanks!

Grey has a good post on coordinating your footwork with punches: http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ands-feet.html
It helps to practice it in shadow boxing, and then bring it into your bag sessions. It feels as awkward as learning how to walk all over again at first, but it feels more natural the more you practice it.

By the way, Scrap has some cool posts which use elastic cords to help with footwork, and punches too. Definitely worth checking out.

All the best

Thanks for the tips! I realized my footwork's off because I'm not leading with the correct foot. I noticed I'm stepping to the right with my left first sometimes and vice versa.

I need an audio recording in the background shouting out "WATCH THE FEET!".

Good to know even pros like Mike had to be constantly reminded of the basics as well, like in this video where his coach has to tell him to bend the knees or get more square;
