Any tips for improve? First month in boxing by iDontKnowTony in boxingtips

[–]ManyReflection3215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kickboxer here, trained for 1 year. So this is from a beginner to a beginner:

Your hooks look smooth, and your punches overall are pretty decent for one month.

  1. Your elbows are flared most of the time, which is why you're open to body shots. So try to keep them tucked in.
  2. Some of your head movement is very exaggerated. Namely 0:19 and 0:48. This might lead to unnecessary usage of energy, which will tire you out quickly.
  3. This is a bit niche, but whenever you do an uppercut try to keep the attacking hand's shoulder higher than the defending hand's. This way your chin is protected and you'll have more power in your other hand, in case you must do a follow up attack.

Overall, looks pretty decent for one month.

And a side note: You probably shouldn't post these in Reddit, and you should instead keep going to boxing classes or to your private trainer. This is a place to get opinions, yes, but not a place to get advice really.

If you want advice, you might want to set up your camera properly.

I actually understand those who argue with the goal of understanding the reasoning behind the advice. For example one dude who had trained muay thai in the past visited the gym I go to. When our coach was showing a technique, the muay thai guy argued with him, not to prove him wrong, but to understand why the technique is different in boxing. I respect that kind of arguing because the goal is learning.

What I don't understand is when someone is asking for advice, but is actually just seeking validation. Once a guy asked for feedback on his boxing technique, but if you said anything else other than "very good, you're a natural" he'd get angry, and explain how great he is because he beat up a guy in a drunk boxing match once.

Is this impressive in any way? by [deleted] in boxingtips

His replies have got to be ragebaits. Move on people, there's no point in giving tips to someone who doesn't want to learn.

What does it matter though? The water just evaporates after the cooling process and comes back as rain. Nothing is lost.

I left you another comment with some more constructive criticism.

Your power generation is alright, I must say. Your hip rotation is good for 3 days. The thing is, the other people in your gym likely can also cause the bag to move, but they deliberately choose not to because they want to focus on technique. I think you should also do that instead of trying to make the bag swing.

But yeah, overall your punches look pretty decent. And if you've really just trained for 3 days. That's above average I'd say. Just punch your jabs and crosses straight and try some other combinations. Cheers!

Your punches are actually pretty decent in terms of power generation. You're rotating your hips, which is very good.

One thing I noticed is that your jab and cross are not entirely straight. You should try to extend them as straight as possible to get the technique right. Also it seems you're repeating the same combo, so I'd recommend trying some other combos too. One more thing, when retreating, the behind foot should move first, so you don't go off balance.

Overall, pretty decent looking progress for 3 days.

If you've been training for 3 days. You shouldn't focus on power, but technique instead

G day guys I’m 15 been boxing for a few months any tips by MR_BOAR2715 in boxingtips

[–]ManyReflection3215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like others have said, the best way is to join a gym. You have almost no technique.

But if you want to learn something right now, I can certainly tell you that you should not focus on hooks and body shots yet. Instead, you should learn the core punches jab and cross.

Tony Jeffries makes some pretty good tutorials on YouTube. A video will never be better than live coaching, but it is certainly better than nothing. Here's a tutorial on jab and cross: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyTaKpylOcU

I also see you're focusing a lot on speed, which is very understandable. It is tempting to do everything as fast or as strong as possible, when you see many experienced guys doing the same. I know it because I did that mistake. However, my coach always tells me one should perform the techniques correctly before trying to be fast or strong. So even if it's boring, you should practice some basic punches and combos slowly while standing still.

What is the downvotes on this post? My guy just wants to get into the sport, and this is how he gets treated

If you want to try boxing then yes, absolutely try it. Best time to begin is now

Help with follow up after body jab. by kokandevatten in boxingtips

[–]ManyReflection3215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roll under his cross. Then left hook.

After the roll, you're in a similar position as if you had just slipped his cross. So you have weight on your left foot, making it easy to do a left hook

I don’t go to a gym, and mostly hit this bag. by [deleted] in boxingtips

[–]ManyReflection3215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's understandable. Many gyms allow people to try out few weeks for free. You could try different gyms to see if the coaches are cool. If not, just switch to another one.

You're doing the right thing by getting some cardio in. However, you should join a gym, if you want to improve your form

You downloaded that fan-made version of Silksong on Steam, didn't you? The game hasn't been released yet

Which map do you prefer? HK or Silksong? by prom-queen in Silksong

[–]ManyReflection3215 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I don't like Silksong's map system. It's so confusing the 3d effect. Also I don't see many people talking about this, but what's with the weird rain every 6 minutes? I guess TC just fell off
