[PoutinePete]

"....next video I'll cover the bunny hop defense, followed by the bobble head maneuver which tires your opponent out by letting him use your head as a speed bag..."

[MistMatch]

when i first started watching this, i thought this guy was from Men in Black

[Solowizard]

It looks like he has shit on the bottom of his right shoe.

[Zachrydaman]

This is bad advice. Picking up the feet and moving around is ESSENTIAL in boxing ur supposed to be on the balls of ur feet to so u can react faster. Watch Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao they both are either always on the balls of there feet or bouncing around side steppin, pivoting etc...WHAT IM SAYING IS NEVER USE THIS TECHNIQUE IT MAKES U A SITTING DUCK.

@Zachrydaman

stfu N00B :|

[Zachrydaman]

@pseudonominous Your the noob. U obviously don't know boxing. No great boxer defensive boxer did this. Ali,Mayweather,Roy Jones, Tyson nobody. Balls of your feet is essential even when your a peek a boo fighter like Tyson. This is a noob technique thats y it comes from EXPERTVILLIAGE... I mean they're so dumb they'll tell u that u don't need water or hydration throughout the day all u need is foods that have the word water in them like watermelon and u'll be okay....

[storiale]

first 40 seconds about shoes. Idiot. This guy couldn't whip anyone's ass.

[monsterboy1985]

lmfao

[kewltricks]

SICK OF FUCKIN ADS

[94danjones]

Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and...... Dodge.

[bxdbc]

i think rocky marciano boxed the same way just by seeing the way you dio it. watch ali v. rocky

[Elpmartfromwarums]

knowing how to slip drip and drag isn't going to win the fight for you. noobs

[JxNeeley]

Hopping around the ring is more effective, the way you do it burns up energy unless your doing it effectively. This slip, dip and drag shit will get you knocked out.

[GearsofAssasin]

traction my ass!!...another expertvillage failure...man what a waste of time..

[dannynikqua]

slip dip and drag and then what get unblanced knockeed out And lose wow im 14 been boxinq for about 3 months and i know these boxing lesson suqks

[hazza3]

@dannynikqua How the hell do you get unbalanced when you dip you dumbass.

If you think you know more then why are you watching this.

[dannynikqua]

@hazza3 bkuss i can fuqkin watch eht dum ass and if yuh dnt kno how yuh get unblanced yur just as dumm

[hazza3]

@dannynikqua What? Try that in english. You cant get unbalanced when both feet are on the ground with knees bent.

[dannynikqua]

@hazza3 he clearly moves his legss to far apart and uses his back thats how yuh get unbalanced kinda important that yuh know this when yuh move it all comes from the legss yuh dnt move your back because you need to be centered

[hazza3]

@dannynikqua Hmm its not that wide but i see what your trying to say.

For most boxers, we dip our heads down with our backs to get under a punch, the Drag is kind of important for getting a good distance.

Keep the guard the whole time and your eyes on the opponent.

I dont do it like this guy his feet are actually very far apart and off regular stance and its kind of irritating.

[dannynikqua]

@hazza3 yea thats why yuh use your legs and bend them take a step and get baqk in your stance cus you can mess up your baqk etc..

[Severosrighthook]

i ko this old fart in 1

[aninterestedpartyful]

@Severosrighthook

this old fart practices his skills on little 5ft2 115lb women. he beat up his girlfriend last week broke her tailbone, hand and bashed her face in.. charged with aggravated domestic assault, endangered her kids in the car, go to his gym guys and learn how to beat up a woman, ex wife bailed him outta jail on $100000 bail, she is ugly too, but this lil girl was cute lil blonde, his ex wifes face looks like he hit her way too many times scary, highlight of halloween man

[sz42781]

@aninterestedpartyful She had a broken tailbone! how do you break a womens tailbone? Uppercut to the ass?

[sivko23]

what is the purpose of 1 billion of 1 minute videos?

[miozinho85]

Whats with all this these trainers wearing jeans?

[Jaya365]

slip dip and drag, walk like a crab

[chrisvikingtattoo]

then why wear them trainers you punchy twat

[Blaze264]

Fuck expert vilage. Im stickin with Don Familton Vids, he's my hero.

[kucy1989]

ok slip and drag

[hazza3]

The 'experts' here lmfao.

Ok what you guys dont know is, boxers just dont stand there and throw punches at each other because they get more power by keeping their feet down, thats just dumb and amateur.

Boxers learn to keep moving, stay out of damage range because if your muscles take damage, you wont be able to use that power because your arm is to sore and weak.

Grow up, he actually knows what he's saying[guy in video].

Everyone who commented before me, are complete idiots.

[mookeychase0907]

@hazza3 Man you know how these cowards on YT do anybody who knows about boxing knows this cat knows what he's talking about.I dont know about other vids but their(expert village) boxing vids have bonified trainers/ fighters I know some of them personally and when I see a cat I know doint a tutorial, I post the name and address of his gym for the faggots that think they can see him.

[miko86]

fucking noob ass video.this man ain't know shit about boxing

[IncredibleBoyo]

Its all about keeping your feet planted so you dont get knocked off your balance. Baby steps.

[norimannn]

@IncredibleBoyo that depends on the boxer

not all boxers do that

[historiachibcha1]

GREAT VIDEO.. VERY CLEAR.. THANK YOU

[boxingcoach000]

You cannot punch with out any power if you are  dragging your feet like a fool.

[buffbode]

So you generate a lot of power airborne right? Jumping around like a ballerina, if you don't plant your foot when you punch, your gonna get wrecked on by a puncher.

[boxingcoach000]

This is to you Buffbode, and this is the last time iam gonna comment on this stupid technique.You generate power when you are pushing off the balls of your feet when your punching,if you drag them while you are punching the friction from the floor on your feet are slowing you down and hold back your power on the punch.I will put it in a easy way to you,boxers fight off of the balls of their feet not the soles of their feet.Iam a ex boxer and now a coach ,if you cant understand that pitty you.

[buffbode]

Maybe you did not understand me, but we were talking about movement. Sometimes you need to be on the balls of your feet but if your moving laterally or diagonally you drag. I box, kickbox, grapple and do judo. I have coached multiple fights a day tournaments and fought in them as well. Don't coach me about power. Different types of movement works better for different types of techniques. A stronger jab will require someone going forwards to get on the balls of their feet. But a set up jab doesnt

[boxingcoach000]

Like I said iam done with this nonsense.

[neocamat1980]

thats the electric slide technique!!!lol!

[paolo2012]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAH this guy is an idjit

[mansur12]

His Nasty ASS BOoT!!!! lol old ass reeboks!!

[xxxloziebxxx]

i think this crazy old fool needs to slip, dip and drag himself home coz that aint guna help nobody!!!!

[XxMALIxXICESTAR]

looool

[richvandam]

Seems a little slow technique for countering punches

[Danielnoctis]

this is way oldschool.

It may only be used when closing in, so that ur less open, and it's meant to be associated with a jab,hook or both.

But it'll send ur ass to the ground the moment u break ur foot-work and slide ur leading leg in k-box,savate, or any sport that accepts kicks.

[billyew]

yeah your right im an mma fighter not a boxer and i know for sure your feet should at least not be to the side. i would never slide anything but punches. my boxing coach says front foot forward and back foot at a 45 degree. but thats only to adapt my boxing to an mma environment. but yeah this guys strange. it might work for someone in the 1930's.

[boxingcoach000]

This man is a jack ass he made this up himself ,slip dip and drag what a fuckin joke.Even a street fighter got enough sense not to fight like that.You can sat down and watch a million fights and you will never see any such stupid thing like this in boxing.Come on folks common sense can tell you this is crazy you will killed doing this stupid shit and plus laughed at.

[buffbode]

You do slip dip and drag. He is just exaggerating it for a newbie. You know you don't want to be bouncing all over the place and using up a lot of energy anyway. Its a form of movement. Can't stand it when everyone wants to be the coach and dog people on youtube instead of taking what they can and if they don't like it just walking away.

[boxingcoach000]

There is nothing a boxer can take from this.Nowbody fights like that only chickens on iceskates.You must be dumb as he is

[Zeebo1uk]

good shout, im to big to bounce around like a light weight, so i have have to drag a bit like this

[buffbode]

Lol, sorry I don't think so. I have won multiple fights in one day tournaments 3 years in a row. 2007, 2008, 2009.

CruiserWt, LightHWt, and below 170lbs. All in that order.

Try to tell me to bounce around when I have 3 to 4 fights to finish a tournament. Don't tell me about energy, I know when to use it and how to use it.

[lB3STY]

@buffbode well mate why are you watching these vids if you are such a fucking pro?!

[buffbode]

hmm let me see, are you telling me instructors don't see you in practice to watch if you are doing things correctly because they are a pro?

I watch a lot of videos, I also watch comedy, I know its gonna having me laughing, but I still watch it.

Maybe you should rethink your question.

[buffbode]

I do a lot of judo too. Try to throw a guy that does judo by jumping at them without dragging your feet and see where you end up.

[MikePan1000]

UFC

[KiidDynamiteReturns]

Name me a fighter who used to slip dip and drag?

Incorrect way, SRL? SRR? TYSON? ALI?

[boxingcoach000]

Is this boxing or ice skating? get with the program.

[SearchForTomorrow]

I especially like it when the vids are numbered so I know what order to watch them in

[whiteface0]

speed kills

[colten234]

most people throw punches at your head so if you can time this right you can duck a head shot and be set up for a low jab XD

[millionstylesboksing]

It can be useful in certain situations like transitioning from mid to in range fighting.

[skyisfelling]

this is wayyy oldschool

[cf241pgcardiff]

u r not suppose 2 go dat low

[liquidmeat]

makes your head harder to hit... but i wouldnt do that, maybe he does and fits with it but im fine

[litomiami]

hahaha... everyone got their own style

[dommulcahy]

haha you'd look like a fucking donkey doing that all the time!

[dontaeVega]

Wrong

[TRiiiGER26]

I used this in the ring, and I got draged out on a stretcher. HA HA

[muaythai4ko]

in that case, ur technique must be horrible and probably can't fight. thats why u need to pay attention.

[ProvokedMedia]

@TRiiiGER26 Well if you were throwing & defending you wouldn't have that problem lol

[damesy26]

yeah not good at all,,, position causes you to end up standing flat foot, plus never seen any pro boxer use this method any one who can show me a video of a boxer walking around the ring like a chicken tell me and ill forgive. this video was shit waste of time!!! thanks old man doing sqauts ..... wat it should be called

[CriMSWoW]

look at you and all the attention you are getting :D your wasting my time and your time with these stupid ass comments. so stop.

[StylexSai]

Errr...the squat level is pretty low i wouldn't use it. It would basically mess up your legs in the long-run

[TheDonOfZagreb]

this is genius THANKS!!!

i have to try this in the ring dou cose thats what actualy counts...

THANKS AGAIN!!!

[jok3r6969]

helps upgrade my footwork alittle better thanks
