You're one of the best coaches I watch on RUclips, you're the reason I've won against a cocky guy who was getting coached even if I'm self-taught. Your explanations are so simple to understand yet alter my perspective so much.
A technique I recently learned was keeping your back straight while propelling forward into your jab, and then getting low while twisting into your cross. Keeping straight posture during your jab seems to feed more power to the followup cross.
Yes, keeping good posture/structure encourages good balance. Balance gives you awareness of transferring weight and allows you to safely do so. Keeping the spine in an athletic position allows you to sequence your punches together with fluidity and allows you at will to direct as much power as the you need into whatever punch you’re throwing. Think of it like an archer and a longbow, except you tuck your chin into the shoulder, looking down the arm to the middle knuckle that’s inline with the nose covering your centre line. Completely stretch your upper body whilst remaining balanced and keeping good defence. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just started 3 months ago with boxing. Your videos helped me MASSIVE in increasing power and technique. Even my coach was surprised im quickly getting better ( since im Studying and practicing all of your advices) Thanks soo much for that! You really producing gold here. Excellent videos , easy to follow and understand!
I know you probably won't see this but I binged a bunch of your content a few years ago before my first Muay Thai class and actually had pretty decent striking because of it. Thanks!
Tony saying that you can have your jab hand hovering was game changing for me. I always had both my hands touching my face like mike tyson. Now I feel soo much more in control.
My comment is about the value of the psychological aspect that you seem to highlight in almost every video. It is clear you place a lot of emphasis on this, indeed the fight you mentioned, you probably stayed out of getting in a lot worse trouble by having awareness of that Croat’s jab, but a winning mindset is very important and I think it’s great that you coach on that as well. Great video!!
16:10 I was told when you hit the bag you want the bag to jump up rather than swing. If you are using proper weight transfer and quick punches that you pull your punches back quickly the bag should pop and bounce slightly upward.
I don't want to name drop but a guy i know whos good friends with my brother was a former British and European champion. He thinks too many fighters neglect the jab to the body these days I think of Mayweather who used to throw a beautiful jab to the body and was great for bringing a fighters guard down I was only an amateur boxer/kickboxer, but always tried to improve my jab I love watching old fights of Larry Holmes. Few fighters could throw a jab like him. He made it look simple, nothing flashy, but completely effective
The end of the video is great, really showing what a pro athlete can do! With that kind of movement, the opponent can't know what's coming next, even something like a lead right is preloaded on some of the movements.
Just found your videos, and I absolutely love them. I like the way that you explain why you’re doing the exercise/punch/movement, and the extra tips that you include. Off to watch another one right now 👍
8:00 When you have tight fist when you jab (already before the jab), it could brake your momentum and speed as I see it (contarcted muscles, will slow down that swing). But you are the boss 😇. Both option seems to have also some flaws. Slowed down vs broken hand.
A while ago Tony made a video, with an excersise where you throw the jab once, then 2 times, then 3 all the way up to 10. At 10 you throw 9, then 8 all the way back to 1. I love that excersise, it has improved my (admittedly still not very impressive) jab so much. Its also very tiring but you really notice improvement, if you do it consistantly. I´m to old to be fighting anyone, it just keeps me in shape, but seing improvement is still very motivating.
Thank you brother for all your wisdom, had to show my appreciation for all you do. Not much but the least I can do for what you give. God bless to you and yours brother 👍🏼🙏🏼👊🏼❤️
@@Tony_Jeffries One short clip dragged me to your channel 😂 Now, I am trying to learn the basics of boxing as a 43 year old father 😂 My six year old son regularly asks, why I am punching the air🤪
Power is easy, efficiency is hard. You jab needs your guard hand involved. Because when you turn your thumb it turns your waist, which turns your shoulder, which engages your legs. Turning your guard hand's thumb towards your punching hand rotates your waist and shoulder into the punch, and drives your rear leg into the ground in one motion. If you turn your punching hand, it also turns your waist. If you turn your right thumb palm up, it turns your waist to the left, if you turn your right thumb palm down it turns your waist to the right. When you turn your right hand palm up, and turn your waist to the left, it drives the right leg into the ground. When you turn it the opposite way, or palm up with the left hand, the left leg get's driven into the ground.
Great video. I'm a Karate guy but I got a quick boxing lesson from Joe Frazier when he played "himself" on "A Whole New Ballgame." Super nice guy convinced my that instead of throw a right overhand off my back heel I should rotate off the ball of my foot. Anyway, you are teaching something similar with the jab. Kudos. I love your videos.
Loose fist before impact is a relaxed arm. Tight fist is a tensed arm. Relax fist for a quicker punch. Accelerate your speed and accelerate your tightening of the fist simultaneously making pressure to the floor with the lead foot to make power equal to the opponent running into a brick wall.
Love the videos. - only popped in to watch boxing for beginners and three videos in. I’ll be doing a video a week at the gym to get my technique spot on! Cheers Tony.
I would agree with srl at 9:00 - the act of squeezing your fist stiffens the arm (briefly) and you would exert more energy keeping it tight all the time But Tony's insight is very good too - if you mistime it, or the opponent moves to force a mistake, you can more easily be injured!
18:00 I was taught if the bag is swinging too much then you punch it when I comes back to you. Similar to when trying to catch an opponent while they are moving forward to attack you.
To help with stepping into the punch, try to aim through your target. This helps with not just the jab but any other punch or strike, whether it be kicks, knees, or elbows.
Ive always done the loose fist version and yea I have hurt my hands. I like the logic of this way so I'll see if I can learn it. Arms lose, fists tight. Thank you 🙏 11/2024
Hey Tony you may have already make a video on this. But I'd like to see a video on how to block punches without allowing your opponent to punch your own fist into your face. And how to perry punches and shoulder roll. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you . I did three months of boxing by myself at anytime fitness for cardio At 50 years old, I really kill the heavy bag Watched all your videos and the outcome is incredible. Now I punch, kick, elbow and hammer fist the crap out the bag
Great video! I started to incorporate some of the jab while stepping away drills in my punching bag workout. Also, the making a fist makes a lot of sense.
I like to experiment with punches and mma. I know there are many ways to jab. But have you tried this power jab ( of course moving forward with back foot), but instead of just moving the back foot forward, you turn the back heel inward while stepping forward. I always made my own moves from traditional things. Honestly it was my strength when I came into mma. The wins were from unique powers stikes I altered to some degree. Another thing, when punching they say stay (your head) away from the center, but (I think european boxers are doing this more), when punching, instead of staying in that place and putting your head off that line, how about punching but moving your body at an angle where it will be harder for them to counter. A direction where it is hard to counter. Sugar Ray thing of punching is what I do lol. It makes my punches more fluent. But this is why this is an art mate.
Another reason to twist your hand into horizontal position as the punch lands is that this little but of movement, even though it is not forward movement, adds to the force of the jab. Similarly, snapping your hand back quick decreases the time of impact and adds to the force of the jab. I learned that from my high school physics teacher.
Another comment I remember Floyd saying to throw the jab away from the face. Yes you are more open, but less distance to travel and can be much sharper I wish i had these expert tips when i used to fight. Still good to learn when working heavy bag Awesome video from a true student of the game. Kids that box should be all over these. Of course listen to your coach, but the tips on these videos are Gold and you can never have too much knowledge

Hi Tonny Can You Make a Video for lead hook like this video?
If the jab is the most important punch in boxing, why are we doing it with our weaker hand?
But mumammbol thungs😂
Sorry

That’s the reason for the jab is to get into your cross

Pleas always stick to your boxing style, doesn't matter who disagrees with you. Your boxing style makes so much sense to me.

Thanks for clearing that up. Yah I was taught similar that you don’t want the bag to swing around too much.

This guy is real!
No big talk,just shows.
Thx
This video genuinely helped my jab thank you tony for your free video to help me better myself you the goat man
The end of the video is great, really showing what a pro athlete can do!
With that kind of movement, the opponent can't know what's coming next, even something like a lead right is preloaded on some of the movements.
spoke to steve allen bout that step back out of range,seem so simple when he showed,one of the greatest bits of advice.

Great stuff. I'm old but I'm learning. I might need this because I take public transportation. Ha.
Everyone can learn boxing at any age mate 🥊
The same for me - 84 & I have to use public transport, it's scary. Great vid & the best accent in England. 👍👍👍.

Although the exhale on the jab does add power because you’re tensing your core, the main benefit is that counter body shots hurt way less
Awesome instructor !

Snap the shoulder back to. This is referred to as “the snap” in boxing
