Joey has a lot more amazing breakdowns on his channel here: kzfaq.info/love/Ng4DbEiJ8kwNshRQRg3eIQ

HAHAHHAH Hadley still got it. I wasnt expecting him to blast the dudes guard with a right hand. Good stuff.

I kinda prefer the peekaboo style, because I'm an infighter. I don't enjoy outboxing like Muhammad Ali , I tried hopping and circling around the ring , it was really taxing on the body. The peekaboo style feels more grounded , but you also feel "springy" at the same time. The next thing I love about this style is the head movements, it's just what a fighter needs to master, how to avoid and slip punches.

Yo this was my first boxing coach 11 years ago and bc of him I’m still boxing and competing. Coach Hadley is the GOAT!!!!!

A great video I was sparring with someone that fights similarly to this style. They are tough to go toe to toe! Thanks for the video Joey Hadley and The Modern Martial Artist!

2:55 that death stare though

Man, I just wanted to say what an amazing channel you have. Thank you

I'll be sure to check out Joey's other breakdowns. Thanks for posting this dude. As someone else below mentioned, a video on the crossed arms guard would really help me right now. I think with my body type and mentality I can make it work for me but other than studying tape on guys like Foreman, I'm having trouble making progress with it's mechanics. Cheers!

This man is the only legit peek-a-boo teacher on KZfaq. The rest just sway (using the wrong technique) side to side and think they are peekaboo-ing.

Amazing video, I hope he herd all the credit and praise deserved of any man keeping Cus’ style alive

This is the guy who defeated that Karate champ. Go Joey Hadley!!!!

This teachers obviously was such a skilled teacher and thx you so much for sharing this :)

This was phenomenal. Like looking in a time capsule. Thank u.

Nice video, I am seeing joe hadleys videos too, and hopping to see him doing new ones!

Thank you sir,its an honor to watch your videos,

Great video!! More Peekabo style videos please.

And then you do the Dempsey Roll

Awesome work!

Than you for the content!!!

Thank you coach. I've been practicing the peek a boo style throughout last year together with my outfighting style like mma or Muhammad ali's sting like a bee. And this month, it was the first time I've thoroughly used it, and I can really tell that it intimidated my opponent and surely blew him off due to how aggressive the punches a peek a boo style needed it to be. Every time punches comes right at me, a straight or hook always took turn with a slip throughout his face and body. Though I cannot tell that I mastered peek a boo style since jabs still touches my face usually when I slip, I'd like to thank you for this video and is an honor to me. Im excited to relearn and go back to the basics of this technique.

Very dope video, Wish they were still posting more content

The peekaboo is a very challenging style to learn. Harder then the traditional boxing style. Definitely a young man's style in my opinion. Watch out for a light heavyweight called Alvin Vermall jnr. Fights the peekaboo and trains out of catskill. He's move very much like Tyson and is undefeated.

Good shit bud

Helpful tips. Thank you

Much love and respect.

1$t Too bad he died at the peak of iron Mike's career. He was not only a father figure to mike but his emotional stabilizer as well. Mike should have achieved more if d'amato livef longer.

Thank you for this video

Im small fast and explosive. I tried peek aboo boxing last wednesday at the gym against two taller opponents i drilled it alittle at home over 2 weeks. It worked very well they did not like it lol. I got right in there space fast and easy.

Damn, Joey! You really nailed that guy with that first punch. Knocked the smirk off his face.

That was awessome!

Good video man

Well done!!!

2:50 That staredown though... Very very interesting. Loved this.

Thanks for this.

Great stuff

I love your videos. I called you about footwork of the peekaboo stance weather it was 45 or 90 degree on the backfoot. Thanks for answering my question. Also when Tyson would bob down he come back up with a U staped weave! I think that would be a great video!! To explain that aspect of Cus D'Amato head movement! Thanks again for answering my last question! It was a importent question to me and helped my Boxing!

Great vid 😁

I find it was easier on your back to have a bladed stance. I'm southpaw and slip punches all day. Bobbing straight up and down and the hop to the outside are my favourite parts of peek a boo and they work so well

i am ready to keep doing the repitition !!

Just superb David. Please can you do a breakdown of Joe Calzaghe? . Thanks again. Nick

2:54 Dat face tho! 😂😂😂

You look like the older brother of hide the pain harold who boxes, peek a boo pete! Thanks for the info!

Pretty awesome ✊

Good to see Micheal Keaton getting more work. 4srs tho great vid TMMA.

That is frickin cool !

Tyson was a MASTER of the Peek-a-boo style! Perfect for shorter fighters who have to close the distance.

awesome cheers

Nice 💪💪🤝

Great !

Cus d amato style of fighting mayne👑👑👑

Liked for the little G getting blasted by the OG thru guard 😄 lol

Going to try this when I've moved past kicking range

Do the cross arm block next

invaluable esto

I have watched many vids on PEEK-A-BOO and read SAM NESS/JACK DEMPSEY books on FALLING STEP-SLIPPING but this video is excellent and helps me so much in my shadow boxing... I learned many things about PEEK-A-BOO but this excellent video GIVES ME MISSING STEPS FOR MY FOUNDATION AND WELL EXPLAINED -thank you -I will read the rest of your library

Pee a boo is a very hard style. U have to do everything perfect.

I like how he broke it down I give him a like

That's a real thinking mans' guard comparison. 🤣😂

He seems like such a sweet guy.

Love it

Bro why in the world you punch that man that hard on that guard demonstration lmao!

Does this style work best for a particular body type? Would it work better for someone short and fast like Tyson vs someone tall and rangy like Hearns?

" which one do you like better!?" 😂😂

Please someone Ok in this style the right hand the #2 punch The shoulder is square when this punch is thrown? Conventional style ur hips are turned, the #2 is delivered with both shouler movment as its ur BACK hand, and a pivot, i imagine yes still the pivot How do we make the #2 right hand NOT an "arm punch"? Someone help a brother out here

Im curious, what is the solution if the opponents track the head (like liston vs patterson or lewis v tyson)?

Mr..Hadley, do you have one of ur sweAtshirts for sale? Id like to buy one or 2

Just wanna say that's an epic clean beard

nice

1:31 - 1:32... subtitles better be playing games...😂😂

I wish you filmed a sparring session

lol I wasn't ready for 1:38 lol... No warning or nothing hahaha

Hadley didn't give a fuck he seems pretty cool

It is nice style

Peek a boo works well for some people but it isn't a 1 size fits all. It was perfect for tyson and Patterson,I couldn't imagine them having as much success with another style but especially Tyson. Patterson I think could be successful with a more technically conventional style though so either I think Floyd could make work but peek A boo served him well. A crouching style such as Frazier and marciano is effective as well, especially Rockys sideways crouch instead of a straight down forward crouch like Fraziers. It allowed him to come from that side with the right hand from an unorthodox angle but I couldn't imagine rocky or Frazier having the same success fighting any other was as well. Speaking of Tyson, Patterson and the rest in his stable though Cus had an eye for how to train specific fighters.

how come no more videos? Thanks

Can I change from right hander to south paw with peaksboo style?

This style is even better for street boxing (fighting).

How do I tell my coach I want to adapt to this style? I’ve already been on it for months(2)

Holy crap he actually punched him in the first demonstration 🤣

KNOWLEDGE

This is good tips. Next time I be ready when I fight my wife

LOL turn on captions at 1:30 if you wanna start a race war.

the spanish style of neopliant fencing

Seems The Character Balrog from Street Fighter II uses the "Peek-A-Boo" as his fighting stance/Block animation.

It looks like your uke doesn't bend his knees when he slips left or right, putting his upper torso off-balance. Is their a strategic reason for this?

A big thank you to Joey and Nick for making this helpful video. Joey is legit, you can check out some of his fights here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/arCVl9Ko0MC8kX0.html

How would u Dodge or slip a jab to the body in between ur arms to the solarplexs?

That PEEKABOO Hitting of the Angles Cus Style lol... slip outside of the opponent's shoulders, because that is where all the punches come from, you need to weave under the elbows as again, that is where the punches come from.. KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT and BEND YOUR KNEES as you WEAVE side to side, don't lean forwards as you weave, because the opponent will put his weight on the back of your head and back to push and hold you down. Don't focus on your opponents head, as that is not the thing attacking you. Focus on the chest, when the chest Flexis, you Bob, duck... Cus would say. If you Lay in the middle, your head is a target, so Bob, duck... but don't just stay there, your supposed to be hitting, so straight away get to the sides, move left or right and get into that position where you can hit them and they can't hit you, from the side's they can't hit you, so hit them with everything you got, because they can't hurt you. From the side's you have a chance to put in three perfect punches, uppercut hook hook. After you hit, you don't want to just stand there, you need to immediately switch to the next position around the opponent or weave across to the opponents opposite side and hit again, keep the flow going, keep switching, Flanking the opponents sides where he has no defence or offence... you got to be smart, you got to be clever and not get hit, then your a fighter,,,, not getting hit is what the science of boxing is all about, confusing the enemy, taking him out his own comfort zone, making him slow... You got to learn to weather the storm with good head movement, your head is never where the opponent last seen it... Action is faster than reaction, so keep your head in constant motion, control the unpredictable storm coming at you... Footwork, it's all about the hip's lol, plus work off an upside down triangle chalked out on the floor would help you learn to flank the opponents sides, turning southpaw when moving in right side. Understanding how to easily and effortlessly close the distance down to getting to the sides, Stalking the opponent, pressure and smothering your opponents, making them cover up so you can take them unaware, moving very cleverly and effortless to the sides where you can hit them and they can't hit you... avoid, move in and bam bam bam... You need to keep a low centre of gravity, keep low to the ground so you can fire, hit upwards with great power and leverage.. plus from down there, you can see the punches coming. The lower you are, the less of a target you are. In this style, we don't travel straight down the middle of the pipe or in other words, Never Lay in the Middle... but instead instead only travel to the left or right outside angles where they can't hit us back. As they turn to face you, twist or spring.. keep outside of there shoulder, because that is where the power comes from. And when they prepare themselves to reset themselves to face you, hit them half way through there PREPARATION OF ATTACK.. halfway before completion to catch them by surprise. DON'T PULL STRAIGHT BACK, because the punches are still coming at you... if you lean backwards, you will get steamrolled, railroaded over... so instead move side to side, slipping, dipping, weaving punches and using TWIST's, SPRINGS's footwork to angle off/around to the sides of the opponents weak area's where you can hit him and he cannot hit you back. P.s,, Dip or Slip the straight punches coming at you, and weave under the hooks whilst trying to shoot forwards into that left or right outside angle,, flanking the opponents sides... DONT BE AFRAID TO GET TO THE SIDES !!!... There is only one destination you are to be heading in and that destination is OUTSIDE OF THE OPPONENTS SHOULDER and to make sure you STAY OUTSIDE of the opponents shoulder.. because as I may have stated above, the opponents shoulder is where his power comes from to hit you with... but if you are outside of his shoulder, then you are outside of his punching power, thus he has to reset his position to attack you. But as he is resetting his position to get you inside his power, inside his shoulder... you move again your own self, move again outside his shoulder and hit !!!. As stated above, Never Lay in the Middle.. because if you are on the centreline, then you are in the opponents firepower and will get your head taken off.. so the centre, the middle is a NO GO AREA, you never entre inside the centreline... thus again the only destination is Outside The Shoulder by going in a left or right direction after knocking on the front door with your Jab, flanking the opponents weak areas where you can hit them and they cannot hit you, that means GETTING TO THE SIDES !!!, after knocking on the front door with a Jab or a Jab and a follow up rear punch, doing something called MAKE THEM MISS, MAKE THEM PAY !!... what does that mean ? When you Jab, you want to move in behind that Jab... because your moving forwards to your destination... THE SIDES,,,, There is no pecking with the jab back and forth like normal boxers do, no retreating... No, instead when we leave for our destination, that point of getting to the sides where we can hit them and they cannot hit us... we have to press forwards, pressure forwards behind that jab as we knock on the front door,,, but when we follow that up with the right rear hook or straight punch to the head,,, we simultaneously slip left while moving diagonally forwards to the left side of the opponent and at the very same exact time GO THROUGH the opponent with your rear punch... Thus, should the opponent throw a punch at you as you throw that rear hand whilst moving in and getting to the left side,,,, as you left slip simultaneously as you hit... the opponent will miss you with his punch and get hit with your punch at the same time instead !.... Remember, Knock on the Front Door with your Jab, BUT ENTRE THROUGH THE SIDE DOORS !!!... there is nothing for you in the centre, so KEEP OUT !!!... Never Lay In The Middle !!!. This is the Enigma behind the science of Cus D'Amato... these are the fundamental principles behind the style of MIKE TYSON !!!. Kyle Sands :)

CUSS DAMATO WAS THE BEST FOR MIKE TYSON

Josh Kelly breakdown???

Would it reduce the power of your punches when you're squared up?

Shoot the jab from the hip also triple the jab stay on the go use fants different looks and hand jesters force the peek a boo fighter to lounge out to be counted thats how you deal with the peek a boo

I heard Cus' fighters always had short careers because of the strain on their back. I wonder if that's something Hadley had to contend with.

Squared stance.... does that mean no difference between a jab and a cross? It's kind of what I see from the way he punched the bag. Just want to know for sure. Thanks

Me personally i like to move side to side like Mike Tyson, but move up and down like Joe Frazer

The difference between Mike Tyson n GGG peekaboo is Mike will slip to left or right or dodge n throw body shot or uppercut or hook, but GGG will not slip punches, he kept coming forward n let his opponents hit him then throw over hook.

did cus have any champion fighters except tyson and patterson?

That's not exactly how mike do it he hold his hands sideways by the jaw not in front of his face

You do know there's another guy that Cus trained beside Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson. I mean he's not worth mentioning cause' he's kind of a nobody in the heavyweight division, but just for the sake of it, I think his name is Dyke Myson, or Mike Byson or something like that I believe. I'm sure you never heard of him. He was a sweetheart in the ring, never wanted to hit you, that was his problem.

I never cared for that style. I faced it once in the 70's and it was easy. He slips to his right from my jab the i throw a right hook where i missed the jab and he rocked back right into it it. Same when i threw a right except a left hook and he rocked right into it.
