That makes me happy! Great work ✊🏽

It takes some practice to be able to get the gloves on, but yes it’s going to be a little difficult which it should be. If you absolutely need to, re-lace the gloves to make them a little looser.

Thank you brotha! Same to you and your family! 🙌🏽

I’d assume that it’d be pretty similar expect less bend backwards

@@coachpillowfists thanks

Thanks as always brotha! 🙌🏽👊🏽

Thank you bro! That’s my goal 👌🏽👌🏽

Thank you!! 🙏🏽😄

Thank you! 💪🏽

Yes sir! Still trying to get a private bag area set up so I don’t have to record in a public gym, but that will happen in the next couple weeks 👌🏽.

@@coachpillowfists Nice bro. Do you just have an empty room in your house lol? Seems like you do all your workouts in it.

@andyjiang744 Yes, an empty big room 😂

@@coachpillowfists Damn that's sick lol. It's like having a permanent ring to train in.

@andyjiang744 True, thank you bro! 👌🏽

🤟🏽😄

Will do more videos on the straight rear hand in the future, but this video might be helpful to you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7Nxqa5imcCyiX0.html

@@coachpillowfistsGot it, didn’t see it when I scrolled down the videos, but thank you for great videos. All the best!

@danca5719 👌🏽👌🏽

Thank you bro! God bless you too! 🙏🏽✊🏽

Thank you brotha! 🙏🏽

I'm sure they sell 16 oz training/sparring gloves, but you wouldn't find the pro fight gloves featured in this video in 16 oz.

Thank you bro! I hope it goes well at the gym! 💪🏽🔥

@@coachpillowfists appreciate it tryna work on my footwork heavy bivol style

Hey bro, that's awesome to hear how much of an impact I've made for your journey. Thank you for saying that, and I appreciate the support! 🙏🏽💪🏽

I believe they're called Asics Split Second IV's.

Of course bro! 👌🏽

I appreciate you saying that! 🙏🏽

Thank you for saying that bro! It's great to hear that 🙏🏽

If you watch that Floyd Mayweather jab video you're referring to, you can see that the power is initiated with his rear foot. It's very subtle so the regular eye won't recognize it, but the quick push off his rear foot allows him to whip his shoulder into that jab. You're right, you don't need to corkscrew your fist to get power into the jab. You just need to understand how to properly whip the shoulder into the jab using the push off the rear foot. You can refer back to this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/os1zq6aZya_IZ58.html And not a problem bro 😆, I appreciate the support! You know, it's weird with different coaches because each coach teaches things that conflict with things that another coach says or allows. There are things Jeff taught me that conflicted with how I've been taught by another coach and vice versa. That doesn't make them a bad coach or any less competent. Everybody has their way of teaching, and their beliefs based on their experience with the sport. With all of the different styles in boxing today, there's really no right or wrong answer. So my teachings are based on my experience having been with the 3 different coaches so it's pretty much a 3 in 1 package 😆.

As a matter of fact, this is a great video idea. I think I’ll do a video dissecting the way Floyd Mayweather is able to generate that extra power on that jab. Thanks for inspiring the video idea 😄.

@coachpillowfists thanks coach! I agree 100% with everything you said. I really like how you explained that wrist snap. I'm trying to start the transition from club fighter to coach. I'm trying to teach some various age groups how and when to use the power jab and how to start from the feet and end at the fist with a flicking jab (over their pushes). But several in my group are always using strong jabs and completely gassing out their jab (and getting timed bad). I think I'm just going to refer them to your videos on the topic and tell them what you said to me. You have a talent for explaining and demonstrating. I'm still grappling with doing both at the same time. It's a lot of demonstration with poor explanation or vice versa from me lol. It's a hard transition! When I was about 12, I had a new coach who was trying to teach us the hook without moving our front foot. Just about all off us had a really hard time. So, I got it in my head that I was going to show the non pivot first. Sometimes, it works, but I have to teach the lead foot pivot to help them move their torso correctly.

Thank you for all the encouraging words bro! I support what you want to do, and I hope to continue helping you make that happen. It’s interesting to hear your experiences, and you’ll be able to apply that personally as a coach for your fighters 👌🏽.

I'll try to get to that one of these days.

Still usable to me!

Thank you for your input. Mike Tyson had superior athleticism and that's a huge reason this style worked so well for him in his prime.

@@coachpillowfists I agree. I just wish I could see someone else could master this style as much or better than Mike Tyson had. No one else did it like Mike in his prime to be honest.

I would say never count out any specific punch. Anybody is susceptible to any punch including body jabs unless they're a superhuman. It's about how well the practitioner is at defending it regardless of what stance/style they employ. That's what makes boxing a chess match.

Thank you bro! 🙏🏽

You want to have your knuckles hit the target square on. You don’t want your bottom knuckles to be the ones “slapping” into the target.

Yes, they do. They are holding up well. I don’t hit the bag that often anymore but I know they are durable.

👌🏽👌🏽

Thank you for the support! I don’t recommend the rounded back because it exposes the sides of the body. Also, it’s difficult to tighten the core to sustain body shots when you’re hunched over like that. Also, your breathing ability is also hindered when you’re hunched over/rounded back. And you become more susceptible to uppercuts as it brings your chin more forward than the rest of your body and lower.

These words mean more to me than you'll ever know brotha, thank you! I'll do my best to keep making it a smooth and simple journey to improve your technique 💪🏽. I'll be back on it soon!

Thank you bro! 🥊

Thanks for the input. Better yet, I'd say just do the push step out with the jab or a stiff arm 👍🏽.

Yep, a lead hook flows perfectly following the rear uppercut 👌🏽

I think it's definitely up to preference. Sometimes I pivot the front foot and sometimes I don't. But when teaching it to someone new, it's good to tell them to pivot the front foot because it helps them with the hip turn and weight transfer. But yes, the hip turn is the key thing here.

I appreciate it bro! ✊🏽

100% bro! You can never get enough practice and improvement of any technique. 👌🏽

@@coachpillowfists Coach, how much sparring is too much? I’m 28 and been sparring probably 8 months and have been knocked down (saw black), had a black eye and sensitivity to light after sparring, and I’m a defensive fighter, obviously still working on it. But I spar bigger dudes sometimes and usually do light sparring with guys I trust.

@thomasliu1309 Hey man, it appears to me like these guys that you’re sparring with are not good sparring partners. At most, 3 days a week of sparring is fine but I don’t suggest any more than that. And you definitely shouldn’t be suffering from knockdowns and seeing black. Idk your situation but if those were recent, I would take a break from sparring and work on your craft.

@@coachpillowfists ok thanks Coach. It was a few months ago and they don’t go to the gym anymore. The main guy I spar now, we go very light, but I’m sparring usually 1-2 times a week light and maybe once every two weeks going harder. Sometimes no sparring in a week, but just doing partner driklls

@thomasliu1309 I’m glad they don’t go there anymore. The light sparring and partner drills are going to be the best at sharpening your game.

Thank you bro! 🙏🏽

Much appreciated! 👊🏽
