It’s now 2020. I did not originally post these videos, nor did I ever manage the account. I’ve never viewed the reception I’ve been given, only been told by word of mouth. I’ve finally been convinced by those close to me in the boxing game to give this a shot. New, as well as unseen, content will be posted in the coming weeks. Thanks for all your support.

Rigo? that dude "runs" and make effective use of his legs every fight... wtf? yet youre not bitching about him? LOL HE HAS THE SAME STYLE AS MAYWEATHER, YOU IDIOT. + cmon... if youre gonna bitch about Floyd's hit and run tactics (which is called OUT-BOXING) you have to also bitch about Ali for fighting that way. remember "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." also... go ahead bitch about Ray Leonard too for fighting the way Mayweather did when he fought Duran the 2nd time. cmon man... stop being a biased PACTARD. im Filipino too, but damn man. leave the hatred for Mayweather out the door when talking about boxing. have a good day PACTARD, and never forget. #YDKSAB :D

I used this once in kickboxing. I could never connect with my spinning back kick because my oppenents always saw them coming. Then I did a half step and waited for their reaction. In that time when oppoenent turned towards me I could easily connect with my kick. That shit opened my eyes and I finally understood how important footwork was.

That's why you don't box you use everything. Because, in reality anything can happen. So, why only train hands? If your going to try to become a professional boxer. Then train just hands. If your looking for self defense against even a soldier's training. You will need your feet to stay away. Until you know you have a at least a quarter second to hit the jaw or kidney. Otherwise, your hands are just distractions. Those are the only 2 spots that cannot be toughened up. So, if your facing someone with a decent daily ab work out. Striking the body will do nothing unless your twice his size. So, training just hands. Limits your survival abilities in any situation.

I was working on something like this based on evading and countering from an angle to answer a linear attack. Not being there is half of the defense. The other is paying attention to your line of attack. If you're evading but lose the line, you are vulnerable when you reset. Good video👍

@piercenichol9505 7 жыл бұрын

to be quite honest, if you havent even done partner drills or at the level of sparring yet.. youre not fight ready. Dont get mad but like running is great you should jog 3 times a week for least 30 mins as well as sprints as it gets closer to your fight. Sparring still key to be doing obviously later like youre doing now taking it slow, but if youre fighting pretty soon and you want to have that flight time and quite good amount of it working with different people, styles, height, power, speed how to deal with it. even developing your own style and working around it to perfect it.

@TelowVaughnMusic 5 жыл бұрын

Shit once I started sparring, which was pretty soon relative to most novice (I had no experience in any martial art at all) I realized i need a lot longer before i fight. I want to at least put a solid year into it, and develop my own style, and really improve on my footwork before my first fight.

I've used that big step left in a weird way sometimes. I'll slide hard left to the outside at the same time throwing a big right hook. The opponent stepping in eats it damn near every time. It changes my angle slightly and puts me in a south paw stance. As I slide to the outside after I throw the right my left leg and body position is set up for a nice power straight left.

You're right, and that's the Sweet Science outsiders don't see...the movement of real Boxers. MMA call it "striking" and that's what most do when they throw hands; strike out!

Basically don't get caught mid step. With smaller steps, your in guard more often. Meaning you can punch, maneuver and change position, AS you Life, where ever you are, you're more dynamic. By takings bigger steps, you move faster, but you sacrifice your movabiliry while you are changing positions on the board. And you can be intercepted. It's like you're sacrificing too much to take such a large step. So gain less distance, but get there in a safer way, with control and options. Interesting.
