The biggest thing I learned when sparring was you can be in great cardio shape but if you don’t do a lot of boxing specific workouts your shoulder endurance will fail you before your cardio haha

- Able to run 3 miles - Work on Abs everyday - Jumping rope every other day

My tip is just book your first session, don’t think about it. I booked mine. Didn’t think about it until I walked through doors at boxing gym on the day. That was around 5 years ago. Time goes so quickly before you know it you say u been boxing a year. Like look how quickly the last year went. So just pick up your phone and book it now. No excuses. If you wanna do something u find a way. If you don’t, u find an excuse

Here’s some advice before starting - jog 2-3 miles - skip 3 mins 30 second rest x 4 - do some press-ups - relax and don’t take advice as critisim, you ain’t gunna get everything down in the first 2 mins, don’t stress if you haven’t got it mastered by the first session (no one expects you to be rocky)

Did 30 minutes of "boxing" training with my dad. Felt like I was gonna pass out afterwards. I was just hitting pads not even getting hit lol and I'm lighter than I have been but still it's so hard. That's why I love watching boxers because you have no idea how much stamina it takes to go 3 minutes let alone 12 rounds. Great advice bro

Tip for beginners, just step in the Gym nothing will happen, you will learn everything with time and discipline 🖤🙏🏼

Deserves more views my guy. I like how he doesn't come off as arrogant but teach this as everyone has a chance 💯

Is it me, or does coach have bigger forearms than biceps?!

Literally the worst thing I did before my first day of boxing training was that I wasn't at all active due to quarantine for 5 months and work. I put in a lot of pounds, and I just stopped on my vices just a day before my first training day. I thought I was gonna die from exhaustion just from my first round of shadow boxing. I've had intense training sessions when I was a basketball varsity, but nothing as taxing as a regular day in boxing training. Bottom line my boys, you thought you are fit until you try boxing.

I went to my first boxing gym about 3 months ago and on my first day I passed out completely only from doing jump rope for 15~ minutes. When I came back around they got me on some bikes and I was able to get through an entire 2 and a half out beginner session. I’ve improved so massively in these past 3 months and I feel a lot better about my body and my physical strength than I did before. Highly recommend boxing gyms of all kinds would pass out again 10/10

Thank you for this, this brings confidence to me to approach this sport and get into a good shape because I’ve always loved the sport of boxing so thank you!

As a coach for something completely unrelated I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Because you talked about 1) Uncommon Sense 2) Not doing what everyone else is doing 3) Basic Principles and you kept it very simple. Excellent video

I’m never punching the heavy bag again only jump rope and abs and running that’s crazy thanks you for educating me man 🙏🏽💯

Great video! I wanted to get into boxing and these beginner tips are exactly what I’ve been looking for

This gentlemen seems legit he’s not trying to bullshit and seems genuine wish everyone could be like him

Man what can i say just simply i am so pleased that i found someone who is trying to share this wonderfull sport in whole world man keep doing what you are doing i will support you also. Reason why this has so much worth to me cause i lost my job and the God Jesus, help with one think that i was not aspecting it so i want to share my lifejourney to all! Pls i wish you all good mood, healty and happynes

I’ve been learning through KZfaq vids and turns out I’m a quick learner and kind of a natural at it. I studied the techniques and even film myself to see if I have good form and if not I always change things and adjust. Haven’t joined a gym and took boxing lessons yet but when I do join I feel confident in myself and think I’ll progress a lot since it’s a huge passion of mines :)

I think it’s important to do sprints and calisthenics as well before entering the gym just so you can have an anaerobic and aerobic base as well as a base in strength. And good video ✊🏽

I'm an average athlete. I do around 8-12 hours of BJJ each week, and I start boxing tomorrow. I'm excited, especially since I don't have any striking training at all. I know it'll be a whole new world, so I'm glad that you've uploaded these tips. Can you do more, like what to expect in the gym or boxing etiquette?

This is the most solid strait to the point advice I seen.

Dude seems really smart and just cool overall. Curious to see where his fight IQ is sitting at

This is such underrated advice. You can tell he been through it

I truly believe that this is the best advice someone gave on this topic

I am in great physical condition, my job is very active, I workout 5-6 times a week, and my heart rate recovery is above average. However, my first 30 minute boxing workout consisting of 10 rounds of 2 minutes each with a 1 minute rest in between, I was destroyed. Boxing is a whole other level of cardio and takes a lot of muscle endurance too (mainly shoulders) I recommend newbies alternate between the orthodox stance and use the philly shell when they get tired to give their shoulders a chance to rest. Other than that good luck to ya!

Thank you for this vid. I'm 39 and have been recently been thinking about getting in a boxing gym. There's one next to my reg gym and the trainer is a pro. This has been a big help bro. Thanks and God bless.

Conditioning is everything

for the past week ive been watching this video every morning and im becoming a lion man love you 💪🏼

I'm looking to start up boxing for excercise after a year in quarantine and have been getting my base fitness up first and this was unbelievably helpful

Just clicked here and have just listened less than a minute. ABSOLUTE, the single best advice...and that goes for martial arts as well. I will go one step further: It takes 4 times the task, and it is tedious as can be, to unlearn a bad habit, than it does to struggle a bit with learning properly. Im going to listen to the rest of the video now. Subscribed... Great first point!

Another thing that is overlooked is just simple calisthenics. Days you arent running push ups and pull ups can be a great way to build some baseline form of strength and muscle to those guys who havent really been that active before.

Ay keep this straight to the point style in your vids man very refreshing

I’m adding a comment hoping KZfaq algorithm works since this video deserves wayyy more views

did this before getting into the gym for the first time (8 months ago) now im winning my first amateur fight, thank you coach

I’ve been thinking of joining a kickboxing gym for years and just discovered s local one, this video is exactly what I needed, thank you for advice about getting loose and getting cardio up.

Thanks for the info seeing as I’m green in boxing at the moment. Glad I found this channel timing is everything !

You deserve 1M+ views and I know you will get there in time, because your advice is too real and too accurate. Appreciate it brother

Permanently injured my wrist by boxing before instruction. Very important!!!

bro is hella good at these videos super understandable and relatable

Thanks coach! This helped a lot. Been looking for advice on the matter for a while now.

I needed this.

Great advice, I've tried mma gyms and never had anyone judge me for not being as good as them or struggling. Everyone's there to learn so like everyone says just give it a shot.

You're absolutely right, it makes perfect sense but it wasn't the case with me, i used to watch tutorials and train at home (shadow boxing and heavybag) i used to video record myself and than compare what im doing to the tutorials and lessons i watch on KZfaq than try to adjust and fix the mistakes i do and it actually helped me learn almost all the basics the right way, it didn't take too long for me to start with the advanced stuff when i joined the boxing club, ofc there were some adjustments here and there but nothing too big. And btw thanks for the vuds dude keep em coming.

This is great advice. Started maybe 9 months ago, was in decent shape, but got gassed after a round of light sparring. Gotta run..adding sprints/hills will help you progress faster. Abs so you can take body shots and move quickly with slips/rolls Jumprope has become a hobby of mine since I started as well (took a couple months to get good) and i can hang w the best of them. Its also helped me to be a lot lighter on my feet when I spar💯🥊 Also..just do it💪🏼

I appreciate this. Barely started lifting weights and doing 100 crunches a day. I’m currently trying to work on my jogging. Struggling to squeeze out 2 miles straight. I’ll get to 5 miles Monday Wednesday Friday routine like how I used to when I was 21. I’m joining a boxing gym January. I been lifting Weghts for the last 3 months and I must say I’ve lost 15 pounds. And feel better than I have in 10 years. Im trying to brush up on self defense. And have fun getting in shape at the same time.

Your wise words have motivated me to go jogging by the riverside👊🏾

Thanks for the advice, my friend recommended me a gym that’s opening back up at the start of summer glad I’ve got some time to prepare

Used to do that exact routine in high school, except the jump rope I was ass with that lmao

This is if Lonzo ball and Austin Rivers have a baby

Thank you appreciate this. Planning on starting boxing in collage definitely going to be implementing this into my training

AWESOME advice Coach V. Thank you.

I am nearly 32 years old, horribly out of shape, and never been in a fight before. I am considering joining a boxing gym to help me lose weight and help me gain more confidence in myself. I think the most important thing that you said in this whole video was to not practice any punches. I am definitely going to start working more on my cardio at Crunch Fitness and see if I can run 3 miles within a month or two. Thank you for the advice.

This was an extremely informative video and very helpful 👍

I’m so glad I saw this video. I’m going start implementing everything

Thank you, sir. Your input is specific to the do’s and don’t’s, as well as how often and how long. Much appreciated!

Thank you for this so much, I’m definitely interested in the sport of boxing 🥊 I actually Just started practicing on my Technic but I don’t trained with anyone but my self. But now that I saw this I think I’m going to do Just that stop working on it and focus on the basics like cardio and rope and abs. 👍🏾👍🏾

I started teaching myself like a year and a half ago and I've gotten pretty ok, I have something of everything I worked on footwork, defense, and offensive drills I'm also 5'5 and 120 pounds and I've sparred amateur fighters and did well but what I have noticed is you can only go so far without a boxing coach I eventually want to go pro and I'll need a boxing coach for that

Priceless info, much appreciation.

He is right im unlearning a lot of wrong technique from trying to so it on my own

Thanks for the vid I been doing and every day since the gyms closed. I’m going to add the 3 mile run into my weekly routine. I had only been one month of me going to the gym when corona happened. 🤦‍♂️👍

This was very helpful you are very knowledgeable I've been wanting to get into boxing for a while but I wanted to make sure that I was prepared in the best way that I could be prepared for the gym and your advice on not doing any boxing but just working on your endurance and Cardio is actually really really helpful this helps me get to the point where I need to be cuz I know what I need to do thank you very much

Simple. To the point. I like it 👌🏾

Just started this week and I agree with this. I definitely should've jogged more before starting. I was doggin after an hour. Thanks for the info!

Makes me wanna hit a gym 💯

Wow thank you for the advice truly appreciate you🙏

I just started boxing for the first time last week. After one class here’s what i noticed. First off, I used to run and have insane cardio and stamina. It’s been a couple years since then but the cardio has stuck with me quite a bit as I work in the trades and am constantly pushing myself. Dude is most certainly totally correct about not even trying to start throwing until you get to the gym. Seems like it was a good way to develop bad habits and strain on your wrists. After my first class i gotta say, my arms were BEAT. The short head of my biceps are still sore as hell and last time i trainer was 4 days ago. My chest (abs/serratus) are also still a little achy but better than my arms. This guy is definitely right about making sure you’re at least capable of lasting the whole session in terms of your overall stamina and i could see how doing abs/running 3mi ever other day would be beneficial, but there are also BIG fellas in the gym that ik would be dead after a mile. I guess it depends on your own weight/physique but don’t let all that discourage you from starting. Even if you can’t run 3 miles boxing will definitely help you get some cardio back, but if you wanna be the best you’re gonna have to put in that work on your own time without a trainer. I don’t know a damn thing about boxing besides my few classes but as a beginner it’s tough, but not impossible. I put it off for so long thinking i wouldn’t be ready and then i just did it. Best decision i’ve made in ages.

Thanks man so simple and straight forward. Earned a new sub🔥

Earned yourself a new subscriber

Needed this, I’ve always told everyone ima be a boxer when I’m older, and I keep by my word, since 14 I taught myself how to jump rope, build my endurance and cardio, technique and footwork(which of course I understand I will needa coach for it) and I needa jump on it with my weight and such. I keep telling everyone I’ll be the best boxer in the next 10 years, I’ll stand by my word.

Great advice! Today was my first day and I went through hell just conditioning. Time to build up.

Thank you for this video ❤️ I just started boxing and I feel lost I’m gonna take your advise

While i dont box, this is so relevant to weightlifting. That muscle memory and incorrect motor pattern is hard to fix

preciate this one boss🙏

Great advice! Thank you sir

Thanks coach for this video! I'm not able to get to a boxing gym right now because of work, but I was worried about reinforcing bad habits training at home. I'll just be focusing on my stamina for now!

Just subscribed, you're a great teacher, thanks dude 👍

As a person who has been into boxing for awhile many beginners think they Alr know everything when they haven’t done any type of boxing. I used to be the same way when I first started there’s so much that goes into boxing that many don’t know about I have massive respect for this sport. Just be humble

EXCELLENT point about practicing the wrong techniques. It sounds counter intuitive but so true

Great advice my man. Well said

"Don't throw punches without a boxing gym" Me who has been hitting a heavy bag since I was 12 and now 17 without a coach: Oh, shit.

i'm 18 , i have 9 years of experience in karate and i'm getting into muay thai , bought a heavybag but i'm confident in my form

So true about the fitness Coach! If I may, and certainly not to step on your toes Sir…..BURPEES too. They’re hateful, but man they do give you wind. The ring is a very lonely place when you’re out of gas and have another 2 rounds to go. Yes, speaking from experience. Yet another great post Sir. All the best. Stay safe. Peace

Very good insight as real as it gets in a way very inspiring be safe sir 🙏

I didnt know we could or even should work on our abs everyday. I always thought every other day at most. Im guna try every day out. Thanks

I’m starting April 1st and I’m hella excited, thanks this was extremely helpful

I joined a boxing gym before watching this video. Definitely wish I got my cardio up before hand but thankfully I'm building it up quickly by boxing. Hopefully I'll be able to get my technique right afterwards.

Thanks for the video Im looking into getting into boxing not only to lose weight, But I bottle my anger up and I think hitting some shit would really help me relieve some stress

I only do half a mile everyday when I can , and I can still do boxing yes I'm tired but I still keep going .

As someone who did not do all those things before I started, I can not express how true this video is. I really wished I had seen it before I started lol

Bro that’s the perfect video for me. I made a bet with my friend, we’re going to start at around 2 weeks time start of October (get a membership at boxing gym), and then train for some months and have a sparring to see who is better for fun, I wanted to start with some KZfaq videos of how to box, but seeing that, I now want to work on cardio and abs Thank you brother💪🏼

Legit and to the point. Thanks man

Great video. I’m still unlearning a lifetime of skills from movies and thoughts. Been to a gym for awhile before covid, also I compete in Streetbeefs

Very informative video. I lift weights 4 days a week and started running again. I used to run a mile in 8 minutes but now it takes me 16 minutes. Didn't know abs should be done everyday. I was thinking about joining mayweathers boxing club in my area but I think $150 dollars a month is steep. I always wondered how boxers move up in weight class and don't gain weight in their abdominal area. When sugar ray fought hagler he gained 15 pounds but his waistline had no fat around it. As for me, I'll be 60 yrs old in november but I still like exercising.

Solid advice tbf, subscribed 👍

The point about the muscle memory and throwing 10000 wrong punches is so valid, and can imagine so many do exactly what he's just said, you don't wanna have to be untraining bad habits before you can learn even the basics

signed up for a class tmr, i’m nervous as shit. i’m 18, overweight and barely have any motivation but here we are. wish me luck.

Wanna be honest befor I clicked on this video I thought it was going to be Some BS, but it's actually good advice👍 shout out from nottingham England

Thanks Coach. 28. Finally truly understand this sweet science. Time to get in shape. And find a real club to learn from a proper coach like you.

Great video boss, straight to the point yet extremely valuable

as a physical therapist, i couldn't agree more to the "memory" principle. great advice. thank you! 🏆🏆

This was great advice. I have been self learning for 2 years while training hard. I improved significantly and I seem to have the mechanic of the majority movements down but also am afraid of habits I may of made. My learning was purely visual and by critiquing my shadow boxing through comparison. Would you have your fighter train from scratch at this point?
