Learn how to throw the perfect Jab and Right Cross with Dennythetrainer

[mingfai24]

what's the difference between jab and right cross?

[Tetsuoha]

what a rubbish gay music?!

[sucracristo]

you lean in with your face before you throw, then you drop your left and don't move after the punch. your username is "dennythetrainer" and the title talks about "learning...perfect jab". if you were just a guy hitting a bag i wouldn't comment but since you're a trainer advertising a perfect jab i was wondering if you've even had one novice amateur fight?

[dirtyclinchmaster]

yea why are you dropping your left hand when you throw the cross

[Legomindstrom2]

Thanks for your video I learn alot. Since I know nothing abput boxing.

[laurence445]

Looking at your vids its clear to say that you know how to box, whats the best way to increase punching power?

[aznboionfya]

ur right leg is pointed to the right, not the front. my coach tells me to always point it forward just like the left one is pointed forward to prepare for the cross ? why do u do it differently?

[JimmyCrazedTv]

RUN FOREST RUN!

[CaKe4L1fe]

nice jabs :) but the music, i dunno doesnt really flow with the video loool :)

[MaikSSS]

if you ask me, he is standing a way to close to the bag..

[muzermuzer]

@MaikSSS how far away are you going to stand if thats a person your fighting? I think hes standing in the right spot

[cavix100]

The guy obviously knows what he's doing, has good weight transfer through the shoulder this is his style and it works for him.

Every boxer learns the skills then puts their own spin on it.

For demonstration purposes more rotation needed from the feet up and the vertical line through the body shouldnt lean forward when throwing the punch ( this leaves you open to a counter move and upper cut through the middle).

Nevertheless a good vid, and before any insults I am a trainer.

[knownpornographer]

one of my favorite subscriptions.

[Alexsuper15]

He is a boxing champion... So he knows what he is doing.

Respect This True Man

[gomezpiro]

Very good ! protect your self when you throw the right...

[DrJBN]

Nice jab I'd say (for what my opinion is worth) Looks a lot like Dempsey's straight jolt- transfers the bodyweight into the target very well.

[BrandonTboxer10]

Work on your jabs a bit more. I respect you s a boxer, and I'm sure you do well with your jabs. But to me it seems like you just lunge in with your jab giving the bag a little push. You must put your hip into it with amazing torque for more power, and bring your shoulders into it a bit more. As for your cross you need to train harder. Your back foot looks unbalanced and you must pivot your foot better. These are just words of wisdom not hate-bt10

[peasinacan]

keep that left up wen ur throwin ur right bro

[goonta2]

im 1.84cm 76kg and got twice as much speed as this faggot got a weak left jab

[gmtaskateboards]

@goonta2 1.84 cm and 76 kg, lose some weight shorty

[apestaartje321]

@goonta2 Hahaha... youre obviously a noob who hit the bag a few times and thinks he's good.. in reality this guy would KO you in 5 seconds so shut up.

[liamwinn10859]

stfu!

"you dont rotate shoulders, your right elbow is going up (hand should go straight)" i bet half of you are 10 and just watched this video cause you needed a brake from runescape.

[Mr261194]

you r really good man.u must practice alot i can tell

[AK47powpow]

man i love this song what is it??????

[punjetaros]

jab is ok, but the cross is very bad.

you dont rotate shoulders, your right elbow is going up (hand should go straight), but the worst of all is that your left hand is down while throwing cross.

[ColdButterfly]

Good sound.

[Dshnizal15]

Your doing something corner men stress on noobs all the time. Don't drop your fists. You do it every punch.

[wakko380]

why do you use your boxing shoes outside?

[petterzon92]

u dropping yr guard after the cross

[maggot1234]

you stand too close to the bag imo

[McVeighBeats]

wer u a pro boxer? cus u have gr8 technique, stance

[M055B0RG]

good power on that jab

[M055B0RG]

nice jab , i knocked down my buddy wid a jab b4

[messier991102]

best sport in the world

[cripbuddz]

i would kick dis fuckas ass

[ThatUsernameIsTaken4]

Your not supposed to keep your elbow bent when you puch like this < your supposed to straighten it out fully for an effective jab

[mpm320]

Turn your shoulders when you throw that cross!

[feeble180]

jesus, sir you have an amazing balance between speed and power with your jabs

[fireairplane]

Ive only started boxing and when i jab with the heavy bag my left gets tired pretty quick and i cant get much power in it so i just keep on using it as much as i can to build it up also i do an extra curl on my left when im doing bicep curls can you please help is this normal? and is there any other tips? thanks

[Xohnny1337]

amateur?!

[sandow1000]

So if iám just watching this guy videos,learn and study Boxning.Will I become an elite without going to a real boxning gym and learn there?

[425narutofan]

@sandow1000 i personally dont think so.you still have to go to a actual boxing gym.but this should give you a head start.

[RealChill127]

How heavy is that bag? Looks like a 70 to me.

[Dennythetrainer]

@RealChill127 Nah brother, its about 50kg

[bpsombekke]

@Dennythetrainer, really...damn I can't make my bag swing like that with a left. But that might be because its hooked at 2.3-2.4m height. Love these movies, thanks!

[M055B0RG]

@Dennythetrainer

theres a lot of slack to ur bag , hang it shorter

[housetrance11]

@Dennythetrainer NO way is your bag 50k, im a expert in selling and buying heavy bags.

your bag weighs no more than 20kg i bought many and sold lonsdale bags.

[housetrance11]

@Dennythetrainer sorry i mean no way is your bag 50kg,

i use to buy many heavy bags, your bag weighs no more than 20kg.

willing to bet my money on it.

[TaigaOtaku]

@Dennythetrainer looks like 20

[DougOFresh]

All I can think is thank god for weight classes

[Pinkink120able]

Loving your work. Good speed and power. Let's hope we never get too old eh.

[Badabummbadabing]

Nice Video.

But dont drop the left hand while you bring the Cross. you should keep the left hand up to protect your face.

[Dennythetrainer]

@Badabummbadabing we are only as old as we feel and I still spar with my amateur and pro boxers.

[kareemabdullah]

@Badabummbadabing yep, plus he's not turning his right foot or his hips enough into the cross

[wayne717]

@kareemabdullah - His right knee also should come down and towards his middle.

[AutomaterMastermind]

How heavy is your bag?

[Azereiah]

Sir, your videos are awesome. Seven years ago, I was a student at a Taekwondo school. They didn't teach how to defend your face or jab. All of our punches and blocks were thrown from the hips, so I've had to improvise a bit during spars with an MMA student ever since I left the school. He nearly consistently beat me before I learned to stay relaxed and keep my hands up. Thanks a lot, man.

[Dennythetrainer]

@Azereiah the key word there mate is to stay relaxed. The more tense you are, the more energy you spend and the slower you become due to your tight muscles. Be relaxed and try not to let fear lock you up. Keep the hands up and chin down.

[endinghunger]

@Azereiah what are you talking about I was a Taekwondo student too and they taught me how to defend myself.

[Lukash636]

This guys the man :D

[4MSniping]

hey denny :)

been going kickboxing and boxing for a month now. Im 14, with maltas best sensei (malta = where i leave) i can keep perfect stance with a 8 - 12 hit combo including kicks like jab cross hook hook uppercut roundhouse and heel kick. I know sounds weird but im putting my heart into it. Do you think it sounds good from your point of view?

[asdashopperrr]

Now compare to this guy's straight right:

watch?v=VBMLhkQ4Ih8

[xxtylerxx1]

just from your vids you seem like a cool person and you must train like a beast :D thanks for vids

[darktim99]

the jab ios a MASSIVE punch. too many ignore it. it was one of two moves that bruce used to get in. thats what the "intercepting" fist is about.

[MrSilver222]

This is SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAA?

But seriously he reminded me king Leonid from 300 =)

[Tarkvinius]

god damn that is a stiff jab

[xiaoxiaotuber]

Great vid, Denny! Thanks for all the instruction. I am a beginning boxer.

[oldpiq]

Is it helpful to switch from right hand jab and right foot forward to the left? I would think it would confuse the opponent but I'm an amateur beginner.

[mp34courtney]

no thats not the perfect straight cross whatever the fuck dude the right he throw was good but he drops is hand so all its gunna take is for the other guy to see oh he drops his hand wen the straigt comes then te next time u throw that straigt your eatin a right hook and takin a nap

[AhShaun]

@mp34courtney You're still gonna get your ass handed to you either way by him. Go and make your own instructional vid and stop posting your oh so "constructive" comments for an actual boxer that can knock your teeth out in a split second with a cross even though his defence is down.

[jacob123JS]

@mp34courtney hahhaha. I just have to laugh at u. You have not boxed vefore have you? Do u know how difficult it is to time land right hook when someone's throwing straight cross at u? Timing is difficult and getting the distance down is difficult and when u throw right cross, ur head moves to ur left which makes it even more difficult. u have seen mayweather throwing right without having that hand up right? I mean.. he might not have the best right cross in the world. but u dont know shit?

[ImAKwlDudeLloolL]

did twist ur fist :O:O

[Dennythetrainer]

@ImAKwlDudeLloolL you should but you also have to relax and realise you can't always have the perfect defense all of the time...focus on your own doing what you know the best you can.

[Zairus7]

when you throw a punch you should hold your other hand high near the face

[Dennythetrainer]

@Zairus7 you should but you also have to relax and realise you can't always have the perfect defense all of the time...focus on your own doing what you know the best you can.

[Zairus7]

@Dennythetrainer yes you're right I understand what you were doing now

[bushbug1]

@Dennythetrainer Hey Denny mush long time no see ..... hope oz is treating you well bro.

tell em about the finger punch you used in the Albion lol

[DarkGuitarKid]

@Dennythetrainer Idk why you remind me of my dad , you don't even look like him. maybe cuz he taught me how to fight the way you did

[79207050202]

олень.



[4inchwound]

Your hitting it with your two last knuckles on the right cross your gunna break your hand in a fight, the back should never turn

[ladylover350]

U got a really bad Punching Bag, If u hit the boxing bag shouldn't move.

[Dennythetrainer]

@ladylover350 Is that just like when you hit an opponent - he just stands there and lets you hit him again? What you training for?

[gavinjoaquinolivas]

best advice i have heard about throwing crosses is to make sure you plant your front foot, if only for a second.

[Dennythetrainer]

@gavinjoaquinolivas The most important thing is the have your weight on the rear foot. You are driving forward from the the rear to the front.

[pacnite]

your the tits at this yo, keep coming with different videos and shit and ahl be keeping up to date with you. iv started boxing and im really into it. thanks man

[A5HKOFYN]

good set up but seriously ur jabs aint da good u need more speed n power n dnt be so tense keep ur arms more losend n wen you get abit away from there face dats wen you tense ur arms an twist ur hips wen you go to throw ur hips more and you'll then have some perfect punches

[dir3straits]

(sorry 4 bad inglish) one question, when using the boxeo gloves, should I use the handwraps too? or it's not necesary??

[hokieslover77]

Thank you so much mate. I always wanted to learn boxing and this is so helpful. I truly appreciate your videos.

[MrFreeman420]

what gloves are those?

[Shovels19]

tip: don't film these vids during hunting season

[azfryguy]

quick question is the jab supposed to to be quick or powerful cause tommy morrison ko'ed someone with a jab but i think he is one of the only people to do it

and is there a difference between the right straight and right cross? It seem when you threw your cross you moved your abdominals as well

[lilmonkeymagic666]

i got the same punching bag!!!!! ahahaha

[infamousunknown1]

becoz u dont full extend ur cross it seems like u turning ur elbow over to early..i was shown a 'short' cross (which u need to turn ur elbow over early for) aswell as a normal cross

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

nothing better than exercising outdoors

[MultiGreat1]

You should really learn to step in with the jab properly, when I say this it is because you concentrate in putting to much power into it, when the best way to do it is to work on the speed and form and you are tensing up, jus relax your arms and shoulders and the power will come, because if you tense up you will lose power and you will get tired easily.And you are telegraphing your right cross, try and snap it without falling into it and like I said before about the jab focas on the speed.

[miguelgodinez82]

quick question do yu recomend lifting weights i box but i jus wana make my legs stronger by doin squats an also jus wana become a little stronger will that make me slower or no?

[impeter1]

I happen to think for those key board experts that want to try and knock this guy,,,maybe you should grow some balls and make a series of vid's like this guy,,,honestly if you have nothing good to say,,,,,why waste your time.....go look at something else.....keep up the good work Denny,,,i think your doing the right thing,,,cheers...

[IMABEAST920]

Lol for the critics... This guy could more then likely kick your ass.

[abrakobama]

When u throw straight cross the foot your not leading with (one in back) youshould kinda drag it just a little after you've already taken a small step with your lead foot to throw the jab

[Dennythetrainer]

@abrakobama You are right mate - but not really. If you drag the foot, you will be using more energy rather than if you step in with the right foot. You shouldn't be dragging your feet in any direction. That was the teachings of the old school, not so much any more. I am actually not performing the punch to maximum effect in this video. I lean to much on the front foot. I have more video's coming in the next few weeks...become a subscriber and you won't miss out when they are uploaded. :)

[3iMi5]

omg its gerrard butler !!!!!!!!!!

[JaymezF]

Wow, i'd love to have a TREE to hang a bag on.. lOOl

[SoupyParkour]

im sure if you extended your arm more and twisted your hips more you could get alot more out of those punches, especially the right cross.

nice video though, love the set up you have

[SoupyParkour]

@SoupyParkour sorry, im sure you know alot more than me on this. its just my jeet kune do instructor was telling us to help us perfect our punches. but obviously boxing and jeet kune do are 2 different things. im in no position to say how a boxing cross or jab should be thrown.

btw, how do you feel about mma? do you think it will over take boxing in the years to come?

[Dennythetrainer]

@SoupyParkour You are spot on man, I lean to much onto my front foot, leave my rear foot to far back and have stiff hips. Thanks for your positive feedback man.

[rocwiler0]

champion of middle earth!!!!

[lee1990lee]

nice ur jab lands perfect and the right hits jus as nice

[clannadenya]

All this critisism about dropping his left hand when throwing a right cross. How many boxers have you ever seen that convey a perfect punch 100% of the time. I think you can take alot from how he moves and his punches flow. He looks relaxed all the time and fights with a consumate ease. Good training videos by any standard. Well done Denny!!

[SHUTCHOFACEful]

you drop your left hand every time you throw a right.... far from perfect.

[nikuk1987]

this guys done the lot he was close protection in iraq he knows his stuff!!!! really good videos mate

[aschindler22]

question i turn my back right foot when i throw a right hand..is that right or wrong...he seems to push of his toes instead of rotating..hes prolly doen it right..i was just wonderen

[drummerkam]

@aschindler22 I box and ive been told to rotate it alittle bit..just enough to reach your power to the opponent

[aschindler22]

question?...i turn my back right foot when i throw a right hand..is that right wrong?

[doomlemush]

the left is going down on each right.... you got the two feet on the same line....so you dont have a good balance... and finally.....heavybag is too small for you....

[hungluongwang]

Great stuff! U r a great teacher! Good camera and ligting set-up.  Simple. Easy to visualize.

[Anjitsu27]

stupid noob

[alexisishappy2]

if anyone is watching this....don't do what he says cuz he sucks!

[twistedbydsign99]

he sucks? wtf are you talking about hes training.

[grandhsac]

Why does his left hand drop each time he throws a right cross? Are you supose to do this?

[wasasa666]

@grandhsac You NEVER drop your hand at all in boxing. He's doing this because the bags not hitting back and hit helps him not tire out.

[intoccabile]

You're supposed to keep your right hand behind your jab, to make it "perfect" as the video implies. You expose your chin on each jab.

[dergesegnetejimmy]

why is he dropping the left when he throws a cross?

[uhgolfer07]

song is by silverchair and i think the name of the song is straight lines.

[HereticNix]

this dude is leaning on his jab too much, that's what i'm workin on fixing too.

[twistedbydsign99]

Hes leaning to get power, but yea you can walk into something bad doing that.

[drako7878]

ps, that dude is lifting his guard for a nice body shot, lol i know we arnt all perfect, but i thought id say it for a laugh..

[drako7878]

lol yea, where's the twist in the hips? feet are supposed to swivel as well, far i am a amateur and even i know the basics lol, all my power is off my feet not my shoulder or arms..utilize the inertia twist and all u do is pop out the jab with fuck all effort.. let the feet to the walking... hence why you should be running!!

[officialdeapz09]

you dont turn your hips wich makes the punches moor slow

[rocwiler0]

whats the song?

[shadmut]

not very good mate

[01Dominator10]

@shadmut it is good .

[jhazemusic]

looked like he was lifting his front foot too much, that could be a balance issue if he gets hit. and he wasnt rushing back to reset, but i dont know if its because there was no opponent or it is a habit. overall great technique tho

[KAIZER1987uf]

You must move when you hit the bag .

[Haassan1]

should twist hip more (right cross)

[psolarhidi]

you always threw one punch at a time. you didn't throw jab,right cross one after the other(the famous one two).

[furmountain21]

I think the guy is practicing getting power behind his shots. He doesn't move his head or his feet when working the bag, so my guess is he's working on power. He does have a nice guard and his hands are always back covering his face, but I'd like to see him move around.

[Flexpl]

yeah but he wasn't training on that video, he was just showing those punches;)

[furmountain21]

Agreed...

[Ben0000000000000013]

how the F U C K are you gonna give instructions on somebody elses instructional video, Mate make your own video if you want but dont try teach someone teaching,

Kudos Denny !!!!!!!!! Keep the videos coming mate

[TheLostDrifterVan]

@Ben0000000000000013 i completely agree i hate these people on here giving instruction's to an actual boxer

[cjleger337]

I was under the impression that you threw this in a combo? Throw your jab to range your opponent then throw the cross?

[trukkaman]

yo to fuking slo yo white kunt

[aquaphone]

You can't even spell cunt correctly, you illiterate piece of trash.

[trukkaman]

i ges yo wud no kunt

[ProbertFan21]

haha fuck just a real big fag

[woodrat123]

@trukkaman Dis 'n baie interessante idee wat jy het, in die nuwe jaar sal daar baie winkels kan word in die buurt, Theres sommige om die hoek van die woonstel waar ek woon en as jy wil red wat geld Theres' n spaaachtig om die hoek van waar ons woon and Me en my vrou kry hoender en skyfies van daar soms op Vrydag, maar deur op die koöperasie hulle nie 'n sjinees hoender en rys, twee vir 4 quid sodat ons probeer het wat verlede week en ek vertel jou wat - dit bloedige was wonderlik

[MaZoBoxinG]

dude tht is awsome how u got a heavy bag in the middle of the forest

so coool :D

is it ur garden?

[connymat]

Another thing dont stand on one foot when throwing the right hand, you will be of balance when a left hook is countering your right hand!

[connymat]

Dont forget the hips when you throw the right hand! Over use it, and it will come natrully later. Balance is evrything, as you sure know.

[MathiasStrickner]

Scheiß Deckung ansonsten OK

[McBoxer6791]

Good work but you will start to develop your vag listening to this shit.

[Dennythetrainer]

Ha ha ha!

Paul you are obviously no 1 as your name states.

I have to say that you are right, in this video my left hand is falling low andh as I throw the punch I put all my weight onto the front foot which is not the way it should be done.

However, for those people who are learning boxing, which this video is for, its not a bad place to start.

There are new videos ready for 2010 which are better prepared. Until then rocky...

Thanks for your constructive criticism. x

[puffadderbite]

@Dennythetrainer

who cares if your left hand is low,.i drop my left hand low all the time,..i use my feet to make up for my mistakes just like roy jones and buddy mcgirt did in their prime...im not a damn robot and all you textbook boxers out there who think you need to look like a damn robot in the ring and wanna criticise every move that is made,..your waisting your breath cause ill tape my left hand to my hip and bust your ass's,..theres nothing wrong with this video ,haters

[xXCORNNXx]

@Dennythetrainer hey man i have a question. My coach keeps telling me that im throwing my 4 incorrectly. Is the 4 just a 2 but rotating your hips making it a 4?!?!? I'm throwing my 4 like a 3, turning my fist in a vertical position, is that correct?!?!? I'm 3-0 as an amateur and still need to learn the basics, please help!!!!!!

[Dennythetrainer]

@xXCORNNXx email me from my channel...

[guitarist6494]

u an aussie? silverchair's aussie band

.::NICE BTW::.

[boritomc]

seems like he always drops his left hand from his face when he does the right cross.

anyway those videos rock!

[pumati]

El pie trasero no lo gira, el cuerpo lo pone hacia delante, creo que le falta prolijidad

[mrkos1879]

granny wheels mayb you got your front and back feet mixed up how the hell r u gunna throw a decent right with your back foot planted havnt you heard of putting out the cigerate this guys showed a strong display of technique not the best vid but still very good i think he would knock you out in a fight i think i would too flat footed fighters are shit

[mshroyer240]

old granny wheels if you keep your back foot planted you have no power and when ur fiighting you should NEVER have your heel touch...you are always on the balls of your feet thats where your ballance is

[perlamaria30]

If you guys know everything why are u watching this video?

[perlamaria30]

Thank you for the video

[oldgrannywheels]

ahah, your back foot come up every time you punch. the heel should be planted virtually at all time as not to loose balance.

[angrychickin]

@oldgrannywheels you are very stupid for saying that

[haydnr01]

@oldgrannywheels but then your cant follow through as far making it a weaker punch

[SirPwnsalotz]

The back foot needs to move with the hips and come up to add power to the punch, otherwise you're just throwing a punch with only arm strength.

[doubleg35]

after watching your videos I notice everybody got there deadly punch.....You got a badass left hook..but your right straight is not that strong. Im the other way around. my left hook is sorta weak...but my right straight and right hook are very hard...thats my knocout power. I hate being weak On my left hook.

[darksamus456]

Just keep on doing the One Two left hook Combination. I'm sure this will make it stronger.
