I just posted but I guess it didn't go through.

All I see are his broken thumbs. Is this his mistake or does your gym really train this way. In all the styles I have trained in this has always been a huge no-no, especcialy if he throws the hook, the guy moves his head back, he will brake his thumbs.

Just my humble opinion :)

I don't punch like that but yah, I thought it was weird for Adam to do that. I think it's because he's used to wearing big boxing gloves and if you've ever worn 12-16oz boxing gloves, you'll know that you don't actually make a completely closed fist when you punch because of the big padding around the thumb, so it kinda sticks out. That's my theory anyway, lol

He's doing the hooks wrong. When he says 3,4,5 hooks, you alternate each arm, not 3,4,5 left hooks and twist your body and move around.

yah we know, this is the first time he's done the tape, and he's never seen the instructional video for it...since he was a trained boxer I just told him to do whatever he knows. But I corrected him after watching these vids and now he's alernating his hands on the hooks and twisting more.

TUCK YOUR FUCKING THUMB and throw your hips into a few at least a little bit I know the pace is fast but comon

[Adrianabublles]

Good job. Try not to keep your thumb up while you punch though.
