 Hey everyone, it's Coach Haley here again on your second video on Introductory to boxing techniques or striking techniques last video We spent a lot of time focused on the fundamentals of your stance your basic movements as well as your ones and twos Today what we're gonna focus on is reviewing some of those basic things like your stance making sure always throwing from proper starting point Then we're gonna add the threes and fours work on some combinations and give you a little bit more challenging rounds to work Out to at the end of the video. All right, so let's get back to it Everybody knows that stance from last video where we start with the hip with the part stance Send the right foot back that equal distance so that way if you were to draw an imaginary line Going straight out of your left foot and straight across your body from the right foot They would meet at the 90 degree angle just makes a little easier so you can visualize Having your feet kind of in two corners of a different box Our weight rather is going to be focused on a 50-50 stance So now leaning on one leg or the other not leaning back We're not leaning forward. We're just gonna be nice and solid in that stance We can move in any direction at any time our hands remember protecting the one and make her up top Always coming back to this stance in between strikes. We're never dropping our hands We're never coming up here Throw them from here. We're always keeping it nice and tight to be efficient when we speak in the movement Let's do a little review. Remember whatever Direction you're moving that foot should be moving first. So if that left foot we're trying to go forward. I step step Step step I'm moving laterally. I think you know the drill by now So let's just get right into that mirror game. Just follow along with me You can always grab somebody from the house run them through the stance and then practice it with them as well It's kind of a fun dancing technique. If you maybe the kids or even the roommates need to get out and get active a little bit This is a really easy way to do that. So let's follow along So notice that we're staying nice and light on our feet You don't see me leaning in any direction Right. I'm staying nice and easy nice and controlled. We're trying to maximize that efficiency movement Feel free if you're working with a partner to try to make it a little more challenging Move it a little bit quicker Change directions, whatever you need to do. So that's our second mirror technique I encourage you to take a break grab a drink of water and then come back to this video We're going to teach you a little bit more of a complicated strike So let's get into it The hooks. I know I mentioned last week that the two for that cross was the power strike But the hooks are the ones that a lot of people see damage to that rib cage or right underneath the chin So these are the ones that also happen to knock you out Well, in all honesty, you know If you're throwing your strikes properly You're kind of knocked somebody out with any of them. So just pick your choice throw them correctly and just see what happens Okay, so let's get into the hook The hooks are a lot more rotational in nature So it really focuses in on that pivot that we talked about Last week we briefly touched on the idea of squishing the buzz with that ball of the foot But this week when I want us to practice before we get into the actual mechanics of the hook is really focusing on that Pivot and feeling comfortable doing so. So what have you do is give me your stance just like I am Hands are gonna be up If you've ever seen the dance the twist for people are going back and forth what I like to do is practice that specifically with pivoting So I'm pivoting both feet back and forth Right feeling a little bit more comfortable. Notice how the hips are driving the movement Getting that rotation and feeling a little more comfortable on the balls of your feet So I encourage you to practice that kind of motion just that it feels a little bit more natural as you're throwing the punch So let's start with the threes and fours. These are the hooks Okay, so in that stance hands are up The hook again is coming from that powerful pivot that we just worked on So we pivot with the foot as that hand comes out and this time we're coming out to the side and Bringing it back. So it's like stirring a pot of soup to come out and back out and back And back notice my feet and my hand move at the same time But I'm not moving or twisting my upper body. It's just the lower body This comes here Ideally when we throw a hook or keeping that wrist aligned with that fist as well as the Muscles and bones within the forearm that will prevent us from breaking the wrist. I've done it before I've seen it before Not a great situation if you break your wrist while trying to throw punches kind of damage your street cred a little bit Okay, so we want to focus on that pivot and then alignment Ideally we would see the first batch of knuckles if you were to throw that hook properly Some of you might be wearing gloves. So it's a little harder to see when we come out We see those knuckles and come straight back. So again, stirring that pot of soup getting that power Just like so show you from the side as well in That stand so you can kind of see that shoulder movement a little bit better We come out and come back out and back out and back Okay, so practice at three a little bit remember to focus on breathing so that Or whatever the world may be that you're choosing to use when you exhale now we're gonna go to the four The four is coming from that reader leg So we're kind of same principle See how I took it off that back foot Stack that wrist Stack the arm nice and control stirring that pot of soup Notice where that left hand is I'm always protecting the face never dropping never doing like this Right. We always want to stay nice and controlled. So if we put them together three four three four three four Okay, now we got the threes and fours. So now we're gonna work on is putting some combinations together for this week's rounds So last week we worked on the ones and twos number one Two thing goes first two knuckles Now we have three four one two three four So if you had any questions about what this week's combination is Might just have your answer here So that first round that we're doing remember three minute rounds one minute of rest you repeat the rounds Honestly as many times as you wish. I usually shoot for five three minute rounds comes out to about 15 minute workout You add rest in takes a little bit longer, but trust me you're gonna want the rest So we're starting again. So that 30 seconds on 30 seconds on format First 30 seconds is striking Second 30 seconds of that minute is gonna be some sort of straight exercise some sort of cardio exercise I'll show you just a basic breakdown about that round would look like Repeated a couple times and you're good to go. So let's start ding ding ding you hear that round go off We're throwing one two three four one two three four One two three four Ding ding ding 30 seconds goes up. We're going back to those body weight squats again You have an option here. If you want to pick up some weights go crazy with your bad self Whatever your kind of workout is feeling like today. That's what I encourage you to do So that's the first minute down of the three minute round the second minute your combination is a one two three two one two three two One two Three two you hear the 30 seconds go off. We're gonna drop to the floor and do push-ups Whatever push-ups you feel comfortable doing you feel comfortable doing the push-ups you're welcome to if you want to go to the floor With your toes whatever your push-ups look like you do you Ding ding ding thank the Lord push-ups are done going back to that combination for the round this time we're gonna go one four one four one four one Four, so we're all turning straight punch hook straight hook straight hook Last 30 seconds of the round. We are holding that spot this time So we're just gonna grind out that 30 seconds might have to shift the weight a little bit Stand up if you need to then get right back into it That's your three minute round rest for one minute Then those many times as you want to let us know how it feels for you. You now know the ones and twos threes and fours Tune in for the next video. We're gonna throw our alpha cuts. We'll see you soon
