I was waiting for the jet engine sounds on the Dempsey roll demonstration 😂

You know you're doing the Dempsey roll correctly if you hear jet engine noises while you do it.

Wow, I never realized this before, but I already have the muscle memory for bobbing and weaving while moving off the center line in our Choy Li Fut forms. The more I watch your strategy inside the ring videos, the more I see that the material is already in our forms. Seriously, I learn a lot from being subbed to you.

This is probably one of the best break downs of head movement

Some great tips here coach. The best person I ever sparred against bobbed all the time and when I asked him what he was doing he couldn't articulate it. It took me so long to discover the bob which is very different to how most boxing gyms teach it which is bending the knees and weaving as if you're drawing a circle with your nose. To bob is more of a bow than a duck - a world of difference. It's really good to bob and move in at the same time if you are an inside fighter - block the jab, bob when the right hand comes and move in. The two techniques between the bob and the duck have been confused over time.

Have you read Jack Dempsey’s book “Championship fighting: Explosive Punching and Aggressive Defense”? (If not, go read it- it’s public domain!) And if so, do you think Dempsey’s techniques are outdated by the standards of modern combat sports?

I really like the Dempsey Roll, you can really feel alot of bodyweight going into the hook when you roll; lots of power high and low

It's good to see you teaching rather than putting others down. You have many skills that you can share and it's better than just saying other people are wrong. Thank you for your time.

This video is awesome and definitely fortuitous, I am not kidding I just literally have been figuring this pattern out as being the hip hinging you talk about vs just ducking, which has had an enormous transfer to my footwork and hip position for throwing strikes. Thank you for your knowledge!!

This is the best video on head movement I’ve ever seen! Great way of not only explaining it, but showing as well, and in the context of boxing, AND MMA. Also, it’s nice to see the Dempsey roll explained simply. So many people over explain and make it so much more complex than it is. Great video, Coach, I appreciate this information.

Thanks for sharing this knowledge. I never had any boxing training, mainly just picking things up from sparring partners. Never learned about solid boxing defense. Generally I just jumped in and out because I'm a TKD guy that can grapple (for the most part). I'll be sure to play with bobbing and weaving though. Especially if I can't jump out of the way. I appreciate you, sir!

Great video! Love the addition of the Dempsey roll. The duck only works well in boxing, especially with a height difference. If you time it right, pausing just as your rise from the duck, your opponent will usually strike, by that time you’re already slipping. Mike Tyson used this really well.

Wow! I had no idea the Dempsey roll was specifically like that. I've really tried to figure out exactly what was going on there but you just described it perfectly and now it finally makes sense! Jack Dempsey is easily my favourite. I owe him my love for boxing after I read his book so many times and studied everything he ever did.

Thanks for the tutorial, coach. Awesome as always. A lot of coaches make you drill with the rope, but a lot of them can't articulate how to properly do it. I remember how this movement felt very odd to me until I started adding the feet movement to the sides. Then it was like an epiphany. I wish I would have known about it way before.

Yey, I was waiting for this video :D really glad you made it!

Thank you for clearing up some misconceptions, your videos are amazingly informative and I’m always learning something new from you :))

Ramsey youre a legend! I literally never had anyone explain this to me this well.

Hello Sir ,this is the best Interpretation about Jack Dempsey!!!!! Great,Thank you

Great piece. Thanks for covering this!

great drill! I'm new to boxing/mma so learning these drills is super valuable. Thanks!

Great stuff once again brother. Keep it up. Thx for the tips Coach.

his is the most informative vid ive ever watched. I never knew anything about how to create angles like that, I used to be so focused on head movements and not step into that advantage angles. Thanks a lot for the insight

I've heard a lot of silly arguments against bobbing and weaving, being snapped down is probably one of the silliest.

One thing that dawned on me when you started explaining the concept of advantageous angles and the reasons for moving off the centre line, is that this is great information for fighting video games with lateral movement as well. So thanks coach, I'll put this into practice in Tekken.

Thank you SENSEI , your lessons are gold! Jack Dempsey has inspired many martial artists and boxers. Thank you for cleary explaining the concepts of Dempsey roll and Bobbing and Weaving. Best regards from Italy

Solid teaching! Would love to see more videos like this! Bravo!

THANK YOU SO MUCH COACH THIS IS SOMETHING I REALLY NEEDED

New gym looks sick!

Excellent breakdown sir!

Thanks for the video Ramsey! I'll try the Dempsey roll. I've been training with 2 ropes and it's really fun.

I liked seeing someone learn how to do the exercise for the first time. This makes me feel like this is for me.

Great video Ramsey! I just started deliberately practicing the D'Mato Shift recently thinking of Tyson and this compliments every aspect of that.

Thanks Coach. great breakdown!

Thanks for this. It was super helpful, very clear concept to grasp. Thanks a lot

Awesome Video Ramsey Dewey!

Loved the speed skating analogy!

Very good tips

I really like that u put in the get off line part cus alot of places teach it as to stand there and roll under the punch which seems like itd leave you vulnerable to any number of things like a knee thrust or 12 to 6 elbow

“Dempsey Roll” huh? I used to practice that move till my hands were too sore to keep going. Never knew it had a name. Just my favorite combo for striking while avoiding being struck. Great channel

Ay, I can't believe you really made the video! Good to see it, coach 🥊

Another priceless tutorial video and did I mention what a beautiful Gym!!❤❤👏👏

Ramsey I hope this spells great success for your team as you are easily understood upon seeing that you possess no guile. Very happy for you and sending more hopes for continued success.

It's nice to see someone talking about the Dempsey Roll

Good one, show that 'Hard2Hurt' channel guy [Icy Mike]; who criticized me when I told him that he was wasting energy in squatting ! Tho personally when I do the 'weave' it's more of a bob at pronounced 45° angle, also punching to the stomach - and practicing this I think could help your hooks a lot (but here doing them with only a half torso bend). Also using small knuckle for hooks & horizontal punches, as well as with the vertical punch - because I notice that those who advocate using the two big innermost knuckles when punching horizontal fist, always do their hooks suddenly off to the side when the target is still directly in front of them ! Hence punching with more diagonal torso leverage [or as described earlier, half bob at 45°]; as well as power emanating from the small knuckle, could remedy this.

Great video, and the little spectator darting over to watch the action was funny, too.

Another great video with lots of important little tips - I haven't done that Bobbing and Weaving rope drill in over 10 years, need to put it back into my practice - that and drills with a tennis ball on a piece of elastic tied to the forehead. :)

Awesome video, very informative!

great video as usual, thank you

Nice Bro! Love the rope thing!

Thank you for a great explanation

Thank you for this. While I just learnt this in Hema fencing the other day, I didn't apply this to boxing. Once again thank you.

Excellent display!

Great video and nice Gym!

i really liked the way she listens and takes it seriously.

I gotta make myself a improvised rope so I can practice this. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Finally a good video about this topic

Great new place Ramsey. Great you are doing fine with your martial arts school.

Ramsey your videos improved my WTF Taekwondo SPARRING 100% with your punching boxing videos. My boxing can MATCH my KICKING. Thank u brother. Now i must study some of your ground stuff..grrrrrrrr

Awesome, really good 👍

Awesome video!

Thanks for this video. I tried setting up a rope in my back garden but I really didn't know what I was doing. I have a much better idea now.

Oh gosh, I was looking foward for you to talk about bobing and weaving, but then the kid stole the scene, lol. Great video anyway!

Thanks, I’ve been trying to work on this

I know you say your technique vids don't get as many views, but I am grateful for them. Have you thought about making some "entrance music" for when Captain Krav Maga enters the ring?

You should write a book about training and your personal philosophies. You're quite skilled and very interesting to listen to.

Great video

I need this lesson , thnx Coach

"Hip hinge", thanks for the new word coach!

Just really good content here.

I was initially going to click off because I already knew how to bob and weave. But then I saw the other parts of the video and stayed to learn. :)

Thank you for the good tips ! Could you tell us more about cutting angles ? Have a nice day (And very nice outro groovy music by the way !)

Needs mentioning, but if you break that posture and expose the back of your head, you're getting tossed for dangerous boxing! Thanks, this is a great break-down; like a lot of folks, I got completely mis-trained on how this is supposed to work.

Ah, Jack Dempsey Junior. We meet again.

Thanks, I never really understood the meaning of the term before.

I honestly love doing bobbing and weaving mostly because I've noticed it's helped my cardio. And it can be a little fun if you mix up moving back wards and forwards.

Greatly quality!

Bobbing and dodging is a great thing to drill.. Nice work

great video

Another gem of a video from Ramsey Dewey. I think part of the reason bobbing is being forgotten is the rule of keeping the back up in amateur boxing. Different refs have different strictness on it, and I've noticed some amateur boxers and coaches erring towards rule-safety in training.

A common mistake I see beginners make as soon as they figure out the bob and weave motion is they dont realign themselves when the counter after the bob and weave and try to punch leaning forward. I like that you demonstrate coming back up to good alignment to throw that next hook or body shot.

hey Ramsey! i've been following your channel for a while now. i don't mean to make this long but i'm a 21-year-old aspiring MMA fighter. i've done Japanese Goshinjutsu JiuJitsu (you should probably explain the difference between that and BJJ for the ppl who don't know cause most ppl do have a misconception that BJJ is the only Jiu Jitsu lol) since i was 6 or 7 up until i was 13 and i rekindled my passion to be an MMA fighter later in my teens; by the time I was mentally and financially prepared to step into a gym,, Corona had taken over and the country was on a lockdown. i've spent almost all my time that i was out of a dojo researching the biomechanics and technical movements and microadjustments of properly throwing strikes,, footwork,, head movement,, hand-fighting,, and grappling along with the help of your channel and applying them and practicing,, to the point I can even pick out some of my own flaws in striking and correcting them in real time. i'm planning on finally going to this "MMA" gym to work on Kickboxing and BJJ (not so much wrestling yet as I am more comfortable with the base principles of Boxing && Jiu Jitsu as of right now,, and I'm looking to improve on my developed skills before acquiring new skills). Ik once I get to the gym if I can get a trainer they are going to work on fine- tuning the skills I already have developed over the years and introducing me to new techniques for MMA-based combat. However,, I would still like to use your channel on my journey. Do you have any tips in terms of a solid gameplan for a short (5ft/152cm) slim- athletic build MMA fighter? I know every guy I will get into the ring or cage with will have at least significant height,, weight and/or reach advantages over me but I am a very solid defensive fighter and I am just looking for all the edge I can get. I'm already very aware when it comes to positioning and shot selection from different angles,, but I guess what I'm asking is for some additional tips I can use for attempting TDs being at a severe disadvantage and closing what will be a major distance gap for striking? I'm not a big fan of the "Swarmer" archetype and I much prefer using patience,, footwork and head movement to counterstrike but it seems as if swarming is the most effective for shorter fighters. Me being as short as I am,, I was just wondering if you had any techniques you might have used to help me out in my journey to be the very best fighter I can be. Big fan thank you in advance

great content, I'll apply to my string in the back yard.

very good video

That rope drill is excellent.

Goat content

It's a hinge!! Awesome video coach!

"Angles are important." My geometry teacher always said that.

Excellent explanation and practical demonstration of Bobbing and Weaving!!!! I noticed that when the instructor and fighter were executing their hook punches in conjunction with their Bobbing and Weaving motions the hook punches had the vertical fist positioning or oblique fist positional configuration. Is the vertical fist mechanically a stronger position than the horizontal fist target landing?

I would really love to see a video of you about side crouching. Is like when you crouch like Dempsey but to the sideways like how rocky Marciano use to do

Thsnk you so much

Damn that’s a nice gym!

Hey ramsey Do you have any tips on adjust training with college/school? Im in college and I've a pretty tight schedule and find it difficult to adjust time for trainings.

Jack Dempseys book is an indispensable manual for any brawler or martial artist

That little girl sitting and watching is just cute....Good info on bobbing and weaving and dempsey roll coach.....keep it up ✌

I appreciate you Ramsey Dewey and I've learned a lot from your tutorials and instruction. But here I'm going to respectfully suggest that you review Rolling, specifically rolling under a hook vs Bobbing and Weaving. If you step to the side and end up at your opponent's 45 degrees or to his side... you've Rolled (possibly under a straight punch, but more likely under his hook to your head).

Bobbing and weaving is extremely potent if used effectively. however, I mainly use pulls and sways could you by any chance do a video on that Ramsey?

Thank you so much for this vid. I always thought by watching pros that it didn't matter if you didn't cut an angle when bobbing as long as you came back with a fast counter but when I actually try this it doesn't work against combos, I hit and get hit and it's really random who gets hit the hardest. So should I always cut an angle? Also, can I break a combo in the middle with slip and counter, like a cross-hook can I slip the cross outside and not get hit with the hook, I find that sort of situations hard to deal with and prefer to counter as I slip (example: slip and hit with my cross at the same time they throw the cross) but I see pros doing slip and counter all the time, it just doesn't seem to make sense for me but I know it would give me more options to deal with pressure better and not be predictable in my counters. Could you make a video about countering someone in the middle of their combination?

Freaking finally! It never made sense to squat - it was just too slow and energy consuming. Somehow, I find that all gyms in my area teach the vertical level change without the horizontal one (even though I'm Filipino and boxing is so prevalent here).

@Ramsey Dewey - I have a question. I've seen you do videos with Jesse Encamp about parts of karate that are misinterpreted or lost. I practice tai chi chuan, (as a form of physio, I'm not climbing into an MMA ring or anything), and in my form there is a part which looks a lot like the rope drill. The transfer of weight from one foot to the other is almost the same, and you are leaning in with a straight back with your head directly above your foot. (Obviously, it isn't anything like as slick when I do it.) Anyhow, is this one of those situations where the skill exists, it's just been forgotten? I mean, there are a lot of wrist and arm locks in my style that are basically Ju Jitsu. (No, I'm not getting into that ring either). Do you think we Tai Chi practitioners can learn from our utter destruction in the ring, or should we bite the bullet and learn something else as well? Feels a bit like we're past the point of no return when it comes to combat sports...

How helpful would deadlifts be for improving postural strength? I'm a former wrestler so I've got a fairly strong posture, but my maximum deadlift is not very good (≤2x BW). Would improving my deadlift to something like 2.75 or 3x BW cause a drastic difference in my postural strength? Or would other exercises, like pull-ups or squats, be more beneficial?
