Boxing Defense Workout Drill: Rolling with Body Shots.

[kLaOyYlOeLeA]

Sound could be a bit better, can't really hear/understand you guys. Good clip otherwise:)

[Trickster7916]

To make sure I am doing this move correctly, is there a specific point where you should aim to deflect the blow? Are you just rolling with wherever it lands to minimize damage or are you aiming to deflect it with your hip bone/ribs/etc. ? Thanks and sorry if this isn't the smartest question asked haha

[BluesBurner]

Your videos are great man, theres no boxing gym in my town and me and my friend are learning a lot from you.

[ferrozio]

like your focus on "alive-ness" drills. Get some more drills up if possibel. Rob,you Rock !

[guromarv]

i'm a boxing, muay thai and mma trainer too. i like how you explain your drills and your actual training method. i say and do a lot of the same exact things. keep up the good work!

[YorkshireGripper]

Good videos, all the best.

This stuff happened to me during a kickboxing match. I was winning on reach advantage, it was fairly easy really.

But the toes that were meant to go right into his liver into a diagonal frontkick, got his hip instead because he did this technique.

I went from right to the medals, to right to the hospital; two broken metatarsal bones. I couldn't kick anymore and not move around either, so he won.

So: good advice he's selling in this video I'd say.

Man u should make more of these vids and in higher quallity u seem to know what ur doing

[Solowizard]

THIS IS A TERRIBLE DEMONSTRATION! You're not suppose to go through the motions, but box just as you would in an actual fight.

[Blahb27]

@Solowizard No you don't, because then people won't be able to see the punch (or kick if you're not boxing) coming as well, and they won't learn to properly estimate where it will land, and what movements they have to make to block.

Getting the basic form right either makes or breaks a fighter. Learn it wrong because you're always going all out during training, and you'll get stuck at some point because the opponents exploit your mistakes.

[killratoss]

i think i would rather take the punches to the arm instead of rolling them into my ribs and kidneys lol this is retarded.

[moanapahau]

@killratoss I agree, they hit your elbows there hand will hurt. they hit your kidneys/body/ribs you will hurt

[Blahb27]

@moanapahau He's putting his hipbone in front of the punch, that's a pretty big and hard bone, you won't feel much. And: you have the arm on the blocking side free for a counter.

[JADYONE]

edit those beeps out and you got yourself a nice video

[damesy26]

Tryed this but my sparing partner gets in under my arms every time and punishes my ribs, any suggestions? found it only works when u have space between u and the other boxer but once he slips and gets in under turning like that just hurt!!

[sabakimsg]

Excellent drill! Excellent advice!

[JesusIsLord82]

I like using the shell and getting closer...you can easily get hit with an uppercut from this distance.

[KeabRetsoor]

When you say don't block with your arms or else they might break... are you saying it's better to have broken ribs?

[Shaolin214]

this is excellent for boxing, but for other things it doesnt hurt to actually try blocking the shot if your fast enough with your hands.

[STFRxKRyPToNiiTE]

good luck bro

[sinchampion]

i got hit with a sickening body shot today, re-arragned my internal organs lol

[chipsmcgee]

great video m8, just a little muffled struggled to hear you a lot of the time lol.

[Manontheearth]

nice tip

[robboxer]

Glad you like the clip fellas. Thanks for all the support!

[Greeneyez2475]

This is so true. I'm a HW amatuer and I roll with body and head shots and have a good chin so my opponents tire out often. Im having trouble finding a trainer that specializes with HW's. I train with middleweights and I tell them "hey i'm tired man!". Any advice?

[marzblkman]

This is a great tip and I appreciate you sharing this.

[PFFightTraining]

Great tip. I like to teach "rolling" and "cutting" punches (Kenny Weldon's reaction punching). It's always great to see coaches like you drilling technique and not just throwing fighters into the ring to spar. Fighting takes practice and drills like this teach them to handle themselves when they do step into the ring and start sparring. Bravo!

[bxnyfordham]

I wish I had you as my trainer. i was thrown into the ring and told to fight. So i ended up having to ask other guys hints or watch videos. good stuff rob
