I think that you look pretty good for someone with 4 weeks experience.

I'm not that experienced myself so can't offer much detailed advice but what I would say is that you might want to be a bit further away from the bag at first and that way you can step in with your jab at the start of a movement. If your opponent is within your punching range, then you're probably in theirs. This is perhaps a personal preference of mine rather than something that everyone should follow, I'm not sure...

u prettymuch got it..in and out...i'm lucky actually..i'm 5'10" and i fight at 140lb so i'm taller than all my opponents usually....however..most people at my gym are light heavyweights and tall ones..so i get good work in there...

Okay. If you've been at it for a month, there's nothing in that video worth razzing you about.

That said, you're leaning into your punches and also pushing them. At your stage of development, you should be working on snapping your punches, not driving them hard. Power comes later -- much later -- after you get the form right.

Please read this post, as I don't want to copy and paste.

And then watch this guy. He looks like a Fraggle but his form is possibly the best I've seen anywhere. This is his jab tutorial, but check out all his boxing vids.



Keep at it. Nothing wrong with being new, and you've got chrome-plated balls for posting a beginning vid on this forum. Cheers.

Best form you've seen anywhere? You need to get out more, his form is adequate at best.

Let me rephrase that -- best form I've seen in an instructional video anywhere.

Good stuff, mix the cross in after the left hook though. Remember at our lvl (Ama) it's a bad idea to get in the habit of throwing a triple left hook, even a double left hook really unless you havea guy on his way out.

a combination I like is jab, cross, left hook to body or left uppercut, then another cross at full power to finish off the combo. very satisfying combination, but remember to focus on technique not speed or power or it will be ugly.


Keep the hands up a little more if you wanna use that kind of guard...I'm **** at doing that too, so don't feel bad. I want a teardrop bag at my house.
