I'm a beginner. Help me add missing elements to my plan and clarify priorities.

[Vadim Karimov]

Hello everybody!
Sorry for my English.

Recently I started boxing. 2-3 trainings per week.
1 training - about 1.5-2.5 hours:
- warming-up - 20-25 minutes;
- skipping rope - 3 rounds, 3 min. per round;
- shadow boxing - 3 rounds, 3 min. per round;
- punching bag workout - 4-8 rounds, 3 min. per round;
[-] indoor soccer - about 30-45 minutes, once per week (on Saturdays, before punching bag workout);
- crunches - 1-2 sets, 3-3.5 minutes per set;
[-] stretching (seldom)
- some other stuff

But after 2 months I have almost no progress.

I'm 21 y.o. Before that I had never participated in sports.
I have very poor coordination.
I am physically weak.
My height - 160 cm.
My weight - 50 kg.
I have narrow shoulders.
And I'm pretty slow for such a small body.

I do not need pumped and beautiful body, or wide shoulders. For me no matter how I look from the side.

I want to be fast boxer and to have good technique.

As far as I know myself, in order to learn something, I need to work on it by myself for a long time.
Of course, the workouts benefit me. But very little benefit - if I don't work by myself.

I see there is 2 areas in which I need to develop:
- boxing basics, technique;
- P.T. - physical training

So I made a plan, according to which I'm going to learn \ to work.
And I need your help add the missing elements and clarify priorities (in the lists below higher element has higher priority).

My plan for about 100-200 days (may be it would be better 300-400 days???).


Basics:
- Stance
- Basic footwork (1-2 steps forward-back-left-right)
- Jab
- Right Cross (Straight?)
- Combinations
- Rolling
- Combinations
- Slipping
- Combinations
- Blocking & Parrying
- Combinations
- Footwork - other techniques
- Hooks: Left & Right
- Combinations
- Uppercuts: Left & Right
- Combinations


Physical Training:
- Skipping Rope + Sit-Ups: 5 rounds (4 minutes + 30 sit-ups per round)
- Shadow Boxing: 2 x 6-7 rounds (3 minutes per round)
- Core: 2 x 4 minutes
- Crunches: 2 x 3 minutes
- Coordination (what exercises?)
- Wrist, Knuckles, Fist (what exercises?)
- Shadow Boxing with dumbbells: 2-3 rounds (3 minutes per round)
- Running with Acceleration: 3-5 x 100-200 meters
- Push-Ups: 2-3 x 35-45

And of course (primarily for my health):
- Jogging (in the morning, 6-7 days per week): 15 km (at the moment - 6 km)
- Swimming: 1 hour in the days when there is no training in boxing (at the moment I can not swim)

Hi, do you train with a coach in a boxing gym or only training alone?

If you can't get access to a coach, look at the other guys at the gym, watch fights, search YouTube.

I train with a coach - 2 times a week. He is a good coach. But I think that he pays little attention to the correctness of how I'm doing. So I want to spent a lot of time working by myself (in addition to the training with coach). And I want your help correct & improve my plan (expressed in the lists I wrote in my first post - Basics, Physical Training).

In my opinion that is a bad idea. Especially when you are a beginner and you are having a hard time learning it correctly, there is a very good chance you might be learning yourself stuff the wrong way. Your coach will have to spend time 'unlearning' those things again which only slows your progress.

Try to have some patience would be my advice. If you insist on working on your own I would recomment that you don't make it too technical and you don't make the list too long. Your current list is pretty big. I would focus on a few simple things that you can easily improve on. Remember, if you try to work on everything, there's a good chance you'll get nothing as a result as none of the elements get the attention they deserve...

But I'm going to learn\work gradually.
For example. At first - Stance. Then - Basic footwork. Then - Jab. Etc.
And the same according to the P.T.
At first - only Skipping Rope (3 rounds, 2-3 minutes per round), Shadow Boxing (1-2 x 6 rounds), Core and Crunches. Then + other exercises one by one..

I'm going to learn carefully. Currently I learn technique watching video on YouTube (high-rated, with minimum dislikes) (at the moment - I only learned Stance, simple movement, Jab).

And I'm not going to stop to training with coach

Alright, do as you see fit i suppose.

A general note would be that you might be getting suboptimal results because you literally don't take any rest. Excessive cardio puts a lot of stress on your body and almost everything you do can be characterized as cardio. Put in some restdays here and there so your body gets time to recover.

Also note that you will not put on much if any extra muscle with this routine. I don't know if that is one of your goals though but i'll mention it anyway.
