i like that you concentrate your effort toward explaining boxing techniques etc, instead of distracting to fight predictions. If you started doing that stuff, itd be good to do it on another channel imo. Keep up the awesome videos, i really notice improvement in my boxing, especially when sparring. thanks johnny
nothing wrong with walking obviously a trainer doesnt need to teach you how to walk, but in a boxing match if you do it in fighting distance youre insane
Best boxing channel on RUclips. Got the most benefit from here since my coaches are useless. Side note: No, I’m not one of these self taught “boxers” who suck after years. I took private lessons and now I go to a gym. Private lessons helped until after a certain point then I stopped. The gym I go to, the coaches are literally useless age only work with their favorites, even though I’m decent they ignore me.
Thanks a ton coach. Mind doing a video explaining more about walking? I find nothing like this on RUclips. I started using walking yesterday in sparring for the first time and I found some good results crowding someone when he tried to escape.@@expertboxing
That's a good topic. Walking is easy. It's having the coordination to quickly shift back to boxing stance if your opponent attacks while you walk. That's the hard part. :)
@@expertboxing Started practicing it today on the bag. I walk towards my open side and backwards towards my closed side and then jump into my stance quickly. Thanks coach. Best one out there definitely. * I don’t know why they delete my comments
Exactly! Do it in the early rounds to bait your opponent. And then in the later rounds when you're legitimately tired, he might not notice when you walk around.
I was thinking - if one is proficient fighting in both orthodox and southpaw, then one could possibly be able to strike effectively regardless of where their feet end up as they walk, and also place themselves in advantageous positions unpredictably
my sparring partner does this alot, try faking a jab, moving to the side of your opponent ( quite close ) and throw a hard hook to the body. This should open him up a little bit. But just dont waste energy throwing punches to his gloves/guard, that is what he is trying to make you do. :) hope this helps.
Im going to add walking more to my boxing. Thanks Johnny, oh and can do some more workout videos for legs and back. Oh and a while back you talked about building your inner core. Can you do a video on how to do that. Thanks again
hey Johnny, interesting advice. I never would have thought of it because like many I've been taught to not do that. But I'm having trouble finding examples of pros using this. Do you know of any good examples I could look up?
Definitley, the best boxer, besides the skills of boxing, walking on the ring I have ever seen is Julio Cesar Chavez Sr...in fact, that´s the best way to walk in a ring.
that's what amir khan just recently started doing ever since he started training with virgil hunter he'll just walk after he throws a combination or a punch
Sometimes when I spar im against someone who just throws constant punches, they just keep swinging in my general direction, they soon get tired, but I just want advice on how to spar a person who just throws their punches like that.
i never boxed b4 and am gonna do it soon for charity and i notcie that walking style suits me but my trainer don't like it. i was good dancer in school and good hand speed with other things and always thought i would make good boxer ... it seems though from walking it is easier to get out of the way too and the speed thing seems to get people caught more easily ...
Hey Johnny my trainer and I were just going over walking the other day, I was just wondering when you step with your left foot do you bob a bit to the left or do you just stay near the centre line. My trainer said that when you move with your left your head should move to the left as well, same for the right foot as well. Just wanted to get your opinion or thoughts on that style of walking I guess. Thanks
But you cannot create leverage whilst you're walking, this is why you have to adjust your feet first to gain balance and then throw the shot and it's the same for defending against a shot. You cannot be off balance or in a position where you cannot create leverage whilst being anywhere near within range of your opponent. This re-adjustment of the feet also telegraphs to your opponent that an attack is coming so unless you have the speed of Naz or Jones Jr it will just give your opponent longer to defend.
This reply isn't even for you but for those reading this comment. A few points: 1) No matter what, you have to adjust your feet to move. You can hobble around a couple inches at a time, or you can jump. Or you can walk, or you can shuffle. Some methods cover ground quicker, some take less energy. 2) There really isn't any method that allows you to punch powerfully WHILE moving. You can still be powerful, but you won't have full power. 3) In theory, moving your feet makes you vulnerable to punches...but this isn't true. Because YOUR opponent will have to move his feet as well to get to you. The only way you're paying a price for moving around is if your opponent is totally static (in punching position) and you're idiotically running into his punches. 4) Now that we've established these ideas. The concept I'm sharing here isn't so much about to never to take your feet off the ground, it's to be relaxed. And ultimately when I say walk...I'm basically saying to do the basic STEP-DRAG but in the attitude of a walk. You're still going front foot first, and back foot second. But you do it with a slickness instead of holding your body like a block....(because this isn't going to help your balance either).
Thanks for the uploads, I appreciate you taking the time. I'm a fan of Dan Henderson's style of weight/balance placement and movement when it comes to his stand up game. Your video reminded me a couple of videos of him training..2nd one with Muay Thai trainer Daniel Woirin.. There was an article w/ him talking about weight and balance.. I don't have the link off the cuff, but his name should suffice for a look up. /watch?v=uhzaP52Fo3M /watch?v=3tF8bHLLMfE
@@expertboxing You completely ducked the question. Can you answer him please, and maybe back it up with some video of one of your fights? (not sparing)
I didn't get the chance to watch the Machida vs Henderson match (UFC 157), but here's a pretty good breakdown of the two styles and techniques. I haven't observed Machida's style but I suppose his elusiveness is somewhat related to this video. bloodyelbow com/2013/2/21/4012608/ufc-157-dan-henderson-lyoto-machida-jack-slack
Gen 3:8 "And they heard the sound of Yahweh God walking up and down in the garden at the breeze of the day. And the man and his wife hid themselves from the face of Yahweh God in the middle of the trees of the garden." Walking is the best exercise.
Exactly, I figured as much. Never mind the tons of videos of pros and amateurs walking around the ring. Not only just the speedy slicksters, but also the aggressive brawlers and power-punchers. Haven't seen any balance problems from them.
expertboxing the basic rule of footwork is to never cross your feet or bring them together because it makes you of balance I have no doubt I've had more experience than you and I know that this 'walking' does not work
Yes, please take notice of your sentence.... "the basic rule of footwork". There are many "basic rules" in everything. At some point, if you want to grow, you'll have to think beyond that. You'd be silly to ignore something that gets you better results because it "goes against the rules". Would I be walking around during a heavy exchange? HELL NO. Would I be walking around during a ticky-tack battle of jabs and footwork...yes. Would I be walking around against an aggressive fighter looking to take my head off? Maybe. Would I do it against a defensive fighter who's only looking to get away? Yes. There's applications to everything. Would you duck under a lot against someone with a heavy uppercut? Probably not. Would you keep hands in tight defense against a guy who likes to clinch and push you around? Do you ALWAYS lead with the jab?Pay attention to the context instead of blindly following blanket rules. If "walking" didn't work, there wouldn't be so many damn boxers using it. End of story.
This is just terrible advice. There is a reason good coaches do not teach this nonsense. Do not try this against an experienced opponent unless you enjoy drooling on the canvass.
And yet this is exactly what experienced opponents do, walk around all slick. But by all means...stick do your basis step-drag if that's all you aspire to. This video is for those wanting more.

Really happy you got something out of this.
Fran Sands sent me here
Kyle B I know fran sands would not approve of this!
Same lol
Yep, this should be called sleep walking, coz that's what is gonna happen.
@@AlwaysBonpoint Are there any examples of pro boxers using this effectively? I have not been able to find any videos relating to this.
I consider myself definitely more of a defensive fighter. But I can definitely be offensive when I need, and I enjoy it, too.

Keep up the awesome videos, i really notice improvement in my boxing, especially when sparring. thanks johnny
I agree. This is an instructional channel first and foremost.
Jersey Joe Walcott would approve of this. Slickest heavyweight champion, and could still move like he did in his 40s.
I tend to keep my head near the center but I will let it drift an extra bit to the left if I sense an incoming punch. Just be natural and flow.
I try not to get into fight predictions as I feel it distracts from the focus of my channel. I'll consider it if enough people like this comment.
nothing wrong with walking obviously a trainer doesnt need to teach you how to walk, but in a boxing match if you do it in fighting distance youre insane
So this is why we're talking about it, right? When and how to use it so that you can reap the benefits without any of the drawbacks.

Thanks Jonny! Seems like it's less stress on your legs too... Especially the Achilles. Agree?
Less stress overall for sure!
I like that. Real natural, like a part of your nautral reflexes
Walking can disguise your gameplan,it makes you LOOK tired but really your not. 4-6 round technique
Exactly! Do it in the early rounds to bait your opponent. And then in the later rounds when you're legitimately tired, he might not notice when you walk around.
Golovkin comes to mind here.. :)
thanks jonny for the awsm tecniques thanks sir
Nice footwork, very light on your feet.
I was thinking - if one is proficient fighting in both orthodox and southpaw, then one could possibly be able to strike effectively regardless of where their feet end up as they walk, and also place themselves in advantageous positions unpredictably

Good stuff. Makes me want to "walk" everywhere I go without the need of a vehicle.
Would love to hear what you think about future fights. Aka Mayweather vs Canelo /Bradley vs Marquez/Pacquiao rios
that's what amir khan just recently started doing ever since he started training with virgil hunter he'll just walk after he throws a combination or a punch
That walking style reminds me of Jersey Joe Walcott.
You heard correctly!
What about from a street fight perspective. When I need to throw a kick?
hey Johnny do you have any fights of you i can see or something like that i ofc don´t know if you do that but would be cool.
Hey, do you have any good fighters to reference for walking?
Watch pros in sparring.
Sometimes when I spar im against someone who just throws constant punches, they just keep swinging in my general direction, they soon get tired, but I just want advice on how to spar a person who just throws their punches like that.
Hey, Johnny are you more of a offensive or defensive fighter?
nice one
Walking when out of range. OK coach. I will walk to save energy.

Let me guess...you think I'm saying to walk around the ring like you do in the street, right? Crossing legs and what not?
