Boxing Techniques - Bobbing and Weaving

[90issac]

This info really helps thank you.

[myboxingcoach]

@90issac You're welcome.

[619SDazteca]

I've been told that when you roll you're supposed to take a small step with your front foot for rolling to the outside and a small step with the back foot when rolling to the inside, is this good or bad technique?

[myboxingcoach]

@619SDazteca The roll can absolutely be combined with foot movements. Think more about pushing in and pushing out rather than stepping as such, much faster. Thanks

[SugaManJr11]

I FAKE THE JAB N PULL THE HOOK HIT U WITH A RIGHT HAND,,!!!CATCH U WHEN U COME!!

[86MarcusP]

That's the proper way of executing this manoeuvre, brilliantly done, thanks coach.

[myboxingcoach]

@86MarcusP You're welcome, and thank you very much

[jovaniie]

if you wanna teach atleast proved yourself that your a good fighter

[busy2crazy]

Good technique but your back foot seems a little too right angled for balance in my opinion.

Good video though.

[myboxingcoach]

@busy2crazy I think there's lots of variation with back foot placement, it's something that can be down to personal choice.

[TheNotouriousThug]

@myboxingcoach Your really helpful couldn't thank you enough! By the way. Do you have any videos on uppercuts? I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know man. We can't thank you enough!

[myboxingcoach]

@TheNotouriousThug Thanks very much. Very kind comment. Yeah, there are 6 videos on uppercuts, well 8 if you include the body shots. They're all categorised on the site under the 'Boxing Skills' tab. Thanks again.

[MrDlorencesful]

Really good your video. I just want to ask you please, if there is any kind of risk of damage on the knells when you do the rotation? Thanks a lot for your videos, I will use one each week to try to learn the basics movements!

[myboxingcoach]

@MrDlorencesful Thanks for the question. Unless there is a pre-existing condition with your knees, I don't believe that this skill would cause any problems.

[GoliathAngel]

Thought you'd enjoy my little clip. Awesome techniques here while you are teaching - sometimes they are harder to implement during a fight with nerves and punches going and coming - but your video is right on target - tight formation - small movements / less energy used. Good job!

[myboxingcoach]

@GoliathAngel Thank you, very kind. No time to think during the fight, which is why in gym time repetition, repetition, repetition is vital. Cheers

[MrEdlgar]

HA!

[naptuk]

where is your gym located? do you have private training sessions>?

[kellybob94]

I've just turned 17 and I'm 6'1 - 6'2 13st 2lbs, Would I be able to box at Heavyweight or would I be too small? I was wondering because it maybe easier to go up a weight as I am getting older and more bulked up. My coach and a lot of the more experienced boxers at my club say I hit hard, And I've done some sparring with heavyweights I'm just unsure because usually the smaller heavyweights have to bob and weave more and I not really good at that. Thanks for video as well mate, it was helpful

[xXiRaZzoRXx]

@kellybob94 im 15 and weigh 12 st and fight in the 75 kg and those guys are huge so if your confident in your power the go for it

[sagitarius987654321]

Excellent! great job! thnx!

[Gooroo1972]

thnx, it's been a pleasure to see this vid

[gtjohnnycake]

dude at first i was like "his full speed sucks".. but then i realize youre a teacher and you express these basic principles that are so obvious but most overlook. Like a bad habit of using the waste...you dont notice youre doing it, like a smoker doesnt notice the they smell.

[myboxingcoach]

@fkthep pmsl!!!! Comment of the week.

[wrey12]

VERY GOOD!

[rozsdasusz]

very good, just love it. Please make more, can help us a lot :)

[futsalfred2]

Thanks for speaking so clearly, so often other videos have too much background noise and its some black guy saying things in an accent I cant comprehend

[0175311618]

it would be great if a can get you to train me personally as your coaching is very good. concise and clear, COOL ^^

[signedasanonymous]

very concise instructions, easy to follow. good application of punches after ducking... 3/3

[myboxingcoach]

@signedasanonymous Excellent, TY.

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Nice! I have a bad habit of using my waist. I'll keep this in mind for the next match.

[RastaBahn34]

Good vid coach. Thanx

[prac2]

good vid, thanks for that

[Lost4life100]

Great explanation, thanks, good vid.

[yeasayer]

[130kali]

Not bad. I wasn't expecting something so accurate.

[MrAnandrocker]

I really like you vids they are very helpful.

[robbodoggy1]

this video, and all of your others have been really helpful for me. because i have got friends that come over fairly often that i have a spar with gloves and headgear, and these videos have helped me become the better boxer between us:) thanks

[myboxingcoach]

@robbodoggy1 Great stuff. Your very welcome my friend, and you guys play nice now, ya hear!

[FeelBetterFool]

Thank you for the video. This was very helpful.

[ett40146]

Awesome!



[myboxingcoach]

@ett40146 TY!

[TheQatalyst]

This is very helpful and well explained, will watch your other vids also!

[myboxingcoach]

@TheQatalyst Thank you and I hope that you enjoy the other stuff.

[YummietheMummy]

Been going to boxing classes now for over a year and this is really helpful for me to see how essential it is to shift and distribute the weight over your legs properly! I will practice this during my next boxing lessons! thx for the clear and helpful videos!

[myboxingcoach]

@YummietheMummy Thank you for the comment, and I'm happy that you find the vids helpful!

[eriklikestoskate95]

why exactly dont you roll from the waist?

[myboxingcoach]

@eriklikestoskate95 Sorry for the delay in response. 2 reasons not to roll from the waist 1) your head will look down (losing sight of opponent and leaving you open to uppercuts and 2) you can't throw effective shots back towards the guy who is trying to nail you to the floor!

[gongfubl]

Dempsey was so right about boxing, and how it declined. Now they throw Jabs, which are weak point scores. In his day the lead was thrown with the thumbs up, threw the powerline, fallen step, shoulder whirl, but that was bare knuckle as well. the jab is the worst punch ever. it should be thrown with the thumbs up, hitting with the bottom three knuckles. good video dude. notice the bruce lee type stance. many boxer stand square on which sucks big time.

[mrharoldb]

@gongfubl Dempsey never fought bare knuckle.

[gongfubl]

@mrharoldb I bet he did.

[1saxonwolf]

@mrharoldb He fought hundreds of bare knuckle fights. It's how he got started. Read a book.

[dreday3stacks1]

i liek this vid.it help me out personally cuz i was doing tit wrong.thanks for the tip

[myboxingcoach]

@dreday3stacks1 You're welcome

[bubblo600]

[myboxingcoach]

@bubblo600 Thank you

[Shuukyou]

just wondering if you've ever fought a kicker and if theres any boxing defense for low kicks and such and if you can make a video for that?

[Shuukyou]

just wondering if you've ever fought a kicker and if theres any boxing defense for low kicks and such?

[ClassicFilipino69]

@Shuukyou just learn how to check one. its really easy and most of the time you ending up hurting them

[K4960816]

hey when i weave a hook and my head goes down i cant see my opponet and therefore if he was to throw another punch i wouldnt see it. Do i just stare up when rolling under a hook?

[myboxingcoach]

@K4960816 Sounds like you are bending at the waist. Make sure that you keep your back straight, so that when you roll your eye level drops from about the opponent's head level to the level of the middle of their torso. This means that you maintain visibility of the opponent at all times.

[PaintTheSilence94]

Your videos are very detailed unlike many others vids, thanks man

[Borealiz88]

Great vid! This actually taught me a lot, in contrast to most boxing videos I've come across on youtube. Thanks! Cheers from Norway.

[myboxingcoach]

@Borealiz88 Thanks you, and glad that you found it helpful our friend from the North!

[JuanMiguel204]

hey do you have an instructonal dvd?

[myboxingcoach]

@JuanMiguel204 -Hey. It's funny that you mention it, I'm just putting one together now. It's a foundation course (video and ebook), so it's the basics that someone who is looking to get involved in boxing might find very useful. Keep an eye on the site JuanMiguel. Thanks for the comment mate.

[Homeruler99]

Hi fran, i want to ask you a question, when i bob and weave i got hit at the sides alot any way to prevent that?

[myboxingcoach]

@Homeruler99 Hey there. When you say 'hit at the sides', is it at the sides of your body, or on your arms (which would be covering your head)? I'm going to assume your arms, which is not a bad thing (the arms are meant to block, so it's all good!) The roll works very well against long range shots, so, combine your roll with a move forward (keeping the hands high) and get your shots off! The one way to stop the incoming shots is to fire your own. So combine the roll with punches...often!

[Homeruler99]

@myboxingcoach

Hi Fran thanks. I get hit at the sides of the head and thanks for reminding me to keep my hands up at the sides. Thanks Fran, you help me a lot.

[Homeruler99]

de

[Homeruler99]

Hi Fran, got a question for you, when i bob and weave i realise i got hit at the sides alot. Any suggestions on not getting at the sides.

[baraa712]

Great video very informative, thank you.

[Magnum49r]

good video man

[myboxingcoach]

@Magnum49r Thanks Magnum!

[myboxingcoach]

@makybediva1234 Hey maky. You know, the best tip I could give is to keep your back straight. By keeping your back straight you will really have no option but to work out how those legs make the roll. It's all in the legs!!!

Hope this helps, and thanks for the comment!

[el541]

nice, could do with maybe two people doing the video and you talking about what theyre doing right/wrong

thanks

[myboxingcoach]

@el541 Thanks for the tip El, I'll give that some thought and see what we can come up with.

Cheers

[oudzuidNL]

just perfect
