The most valuable thing about Marvin cook’s teachings, is that it’s outside of the box boxing philosophy. Takes the basics and flips em in a more practical way. Can’t beat modified textbooks 🔥
@@TrueBoxerStance can you suggest any fighters that demonstrate these concepts like the true boxer stance and others within the ring. Having a live example to watch would be helpful, thanks!
@@shimonbrathwaite651 Marvin Hagler and Julio Cesar Chavez. They're the masters of taking the right "spot". Especially Chavez is all about that footwork.
I would say often in most sports specifically combat sports that knowing the basics and the general rules regarding their reasoning is the key to exploiting said rules and said basics....very similar in Muay Thai...learning to move to your strong side, leaves open lead kicks to the head and traps for their lead leg, etc. Having a dynamic game is always a plus
This guy is a master of the often overlooked, basics. This style if perfected could be deadly, but this legend did it. I love you Marvin you teach so good.
@@maxanderson3733 Good question ! I tried to kinda stutter with a very small pivot, and It feels natural and creisp. I suggest you work on your calf stamina because repeating the footwork drills got my legs cramped up!
Wow! I always had problems moving to my right. This is so helpful. Moving to the right cuts off the right hand instantly. So we just have to defend the left.
I’m a coach and competitor- Coach Marvin’s stuff is some of the best content I’ve seen on RUclips in terms of boxing knowledge & application. So glad you are back uploading new videos, my students and I all love your videos!
I've decided that this makes too much sense for me to keep being hyper skeptical due to the novelty of this information. I've been training my jab and your footwork patterns in the true boxer's stance for about a month now and I keep getting better even in what felt like unrelated areas such as combination punching simply because I never took the time to really find my balance. Moving to the right was hard at first but now it is almost as natural. Moving from the hips too! I feel like I'm cutting away the excess crap from my movements. A lot of the techniques I had previously learned were for in-fighting because my sparring partner was taller so it's sad to see a lot of that hard work vanish from my shadowboxing but I think it will be worth it. Suggested this channel to a few friends, thanks for the content.
@Hung Manh Vu right! it was just so hard at first to go from fighting relatively square to a bladed stance but im glad that i am. if you’ve ever played ping pong this stance is a lot like cutting the ball, you’re forcing the opponent to play by your rules or else they pay dearly
I dont really get it. I always try to remind myself to stay in the true boxer stance but the thing is that i dont understand the concept of moving from your hips.
@@tarikelschiehaby4644 stabilize your trunk. if you have weak abdominal muscles this can be an issue, but try moving around with your jab and evenly distribute your weight. his video’s make it pretty clear imo, watch how coach moves
Exactly, that's how I was taught. I was taught move both ways and avoid the power hand until you want to face it in an exchange. However I have to know how to switch it up so I don't get cut off from just going one way.
I'm 53 and I'm the oldest guy in my gym that spars by about 20 years. Love this technique because it keeps my opponent off balance and allows me to control pace. When they try to "fix" their position, if they do it in the wrong part of the ring, it allows me to drive them into the corners
Such valuable knowledge. I actually learned this playing UFC3. The practice involved to incorporate irl is incredible difficult but really rewarding. This movement pattern confuses opponents because it's so unnatural. Mix it up though to stay illusive because like all movement patterns, it can become predictable if done too often.
Brilliant. I just wanna say that I applied your videos to my Muay Thai stance. During some elbow tag we did today(part of our warm-ups), I noticed it was throwing people off how I was moving and using my "rifle" to open them up. So many more targets were available to me by using your methods. For those of you who don't think it works, try it. Drill it, use it while shadowboxing. Then, try it during some light sparring. I am fully convinced that this man's methods work - and not just for traditional boxing. I'm gonna focus on moving right in my shadowboxing to prepare for Spar Day Wednesdays at my gym! Thank you for making these videos and the old ones from 8 or so years ago!
The beauty of time is the amount knowledge one can acquire. Its a blessing that more seasoned people can pass their findings on to the young. Thank you for the content sir
Thank you for answering my prayers bro! Ive been drilling this for the last week and already seeing a lot of improvement in my balance and coordination moving to the right.
I have never had anybody paint a picture so perfectly in my mind as you did here. This is just perfection. I’ve been boxing since I was 16. I let it go for some years, almost a decade I’d say. I recently picked it back up this year in January but now as a certified USA Boxing coach. And your videos have helped me in the most immense ways. Thank you Marvin.
The 90 degree fight angle was the best thing I learn from my self thanks to the first True Boxing stance video and somehow Marvin is talking about that in this video 😳, i do MMA and all my game is thanks to you and your True Boxing Stance. Thank you Coach, Oss 🙌🏾🔥
Man this is gold. Just finished the 3 hours boxing workout and finished the shower in my bed open up youtube and this is the first thing I see. Thanks again SUPER MARVIN!! 💪🏾💪🏾
Man oh man, his humility and attitude is over the top, beautiful spirited trainer... don't even know him, but he is definitely has my stamp of approval.
GREAT Video, up untill about the 7 minute mark. Don't bet on throwing your opponent off by stepping to the outside, and assuming he'll be momentarily confused by it. DO step to the outside (away from their power hand) because structurally it's the right thing to do. This is basic movement 101 in most martial arts, but i agree it's not taught enough in boxing. Good work!
Hello Coach. I want to Sincerely thank you, and that I appreciate the knowledge that you're sharing on your Platform. Am learning so much, all the way from Kenya.🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
All of your teaching methods make sense than any other styles and your IQ fight is on another level. I would love to see more content on hooks and body shots and how to change levels. So glad your back and uploading these pure gold content🔥
Marvin's teaching has been a blessing. The way he teachings genuinely feel as if I was apart of his boxing sessions. His teaching are pure boxing gold. And his skills makes us understand it's a craft with science behind it
Super underated video. As an experienced Elite amateur this movement is so basic yet so overlooked and nobody will circle to their right because the awkward step and foot crossing. On-top of that the angles you just created is what hurts people... Not how hard you can hit, which is why Lomachenko was/is so deadly! A+
This is awesome im thankful both of my first boxing coaches swore by moving to the right and they drilled it with us so now it is natural. Great to see others preaching this concept!
Been boxing for almost 10 years. I have incorporated allot of your stuff into my game and it's been a gamechanger. The way you communicate the break downs comparisons and demonstrate is really hard to come by and easy to understand. I hope you keep doing these.
Marvin is such a good coach! In the years I've spent boxing, not one coach has ever made it a point to fight moving to your right half as effectively as this video demostrates. And that dude he's training looks like he's having a blast doing it!
Very good ! ... " taking the lead to the RIGHT " ... just like 'leading' your lady on the dance floor. Makes sense, you're in position control, than look for the exact moment/ opportunity to strike ! 👍
I'm seeing this months later and man it makes so much more wisdom. And it was very awesome when I first saw this. Man your content is really great. Thank you
In your teachings pertaining to footwork, you emphasize chasing the rear foot. I saw that a bit clearer as the demonstrators went into gaining the outside position leading with the job AND I was almost gonna ask how can this work for the southpaw but then I looked at it again and thought about what we are taught to create that ' advantage ' and it works the same way. The ' swing ' around in my opinion is more pronounced or stepping to the outside of your opponent but this is great craftsmanship about angles and working the radius but going in the opposite direction or away from your strong side. Great stuff
Glad to see Marvin posting again!! Really one of the very best coaches on RUclips!! I love the emphasis on correct movement. He has made me much more mobile and quicker on my feet. This stuff also works just as well when kickboxing too! Thanks Marvin!!!!
@@TrueBoxerStance Just teaching me to pivot, circle, and cut angles using movement from my waist/core rather than moving by shifting the weight in my shoulders has made me much more agile. Cant wait until COVID is over so I can use this to (gently) punch-up my sparing partners. LOL! Thank you!
There is so much love for the technique and the details from this guy! I only wish he would show it more than talking about it. He reminds me of my first boxing teacher, who was also super passionate about it!
Thank You for posting this. I study Sanda and my instructor is constantly pushing me to move in ways that do not come naturally. It is great to see something like this to reinforce some of that.
Very simplicitly, very value information on body language and movement. Seeing the most effective way the conserve energy for the longevity of how ever long a fight must go on. Efficient way of increasing Fight IQ, having control on command to outmaneuver your opponent(s). Thank you.
The initial instruction is to push off the lead foot, and moving the rear foot to the right. However, when the two helpers are doing it. They’re stepping in with the lead foot and the rear follows. It’s the exact opposite. Which way are you recommending?
Well said! I’m a lefty and fight righty but I always taught to circle out opposite of the Jab. I didn’t know how to explain it. Well done sir! Thank you!
You are absolutely right with everything that you have said. Tried & tested your boxing methods and they work brilliantly. Highly recommended you to everyone. Thanks for sharing. Keep em' coming. Always thristy and eager to learn from your tutorials 👍👍👍
Marvin I love the fact that you take the time to teach us average joes the art and science of boxing in such a simple, in depth, and easy to understand way and always giving top quality content. I will use this jab with the step off next sparring session in my Muay Thai gym
@@TrueBoxerStance can I get your advice on a subject,I’m a kickboxer I personally like to fight with one arm down to protect the body and catch kicks,and gives you a way better jab as it’s coming from the hip no telegraphing it,I know boxing coaches hate this,but how comes all the best boxers are unorthodox!!!,would you advise this or is it a no no for you ?,
@@TrueBoxerStance yeah I didn’t think you would agree lol,boxing coaches very strict and old school,obviously different kind of fighting but I think has great advantages and mayweather does use it in boxing with the shoulder roll,roy Jones Ali Prince naseem etc,but yes I know what your saying they are very brave a highly skilled to do it at that close range,I just find when you have 2 hands up high people don’t use footwork and end up being punch bags and can’t see where punches coming from,where as lower guard have to use footwork more head movement
@@jamesmiles1328 Watch some of the other videos, there’s common ground between your thoughts. Floyd has different looks. He can walk you down in a high guard, or pull back with his hands down and play with this food. But he makes that decision based on who’s in front of him and what they’re capable of. You won’t see him do that for the entire 3 minutes of a round. He had decades of practice and experience before he could bend those rules.
Man I appreciate this Mr. Cook. Im a big fan and I was anticipating that new video b/c I’ve been trying to learn boxing and how to defend myself. There are so many styles out there but this makes sense definitely appreciated
I just joined my first boxing gym and taking the extra time I can to learn from you and your channel. Your content is outstanding and after just a few videos I have learned how important my stance and footwork are.
I’m a CSW mega fan. Strong MMA for some reason I avoided this but was highlighted and brought to my attention by a student . I’m glad they did. I’m now obsessed 🤩 with his knowledge. Thank you sir !
I'm new to boxing. Just getting Into it mostly for fitness. But I enjoy your videos. One of the first channels I've seen to focus on footwork and explain it as a means to deliver your offensive and defensive tactics. Lots of channels seem to talk about footwork being important and give drills to practice. But you do an excellent job at explaining WHY it's important and not just SAYING it's important
It seems like this is similar to how I was taught to move away from the power hand and to watch your positioning on the opponents lead foot....... sound advice though.
First time ever watching a Marvin Cook video. Dude has hella humble energy and is clearly very passionate and knowledgable! Subscribed, commented and liked- I'm glad I came across your channel 😊

Literally did the same. Value is thru the roof here!

For real tho I listen and pay attention
Truth
This guy is a master of the often overlooked, basics. This style if perfected could be deadly, but this legend did it. I love you Marvin you teach so good.
Much appreciated. The occupants of this sport have a habit of skipping passed the fundamentals.
I agree, this guy is the man. Him and Coach Anthony are the two guys I consider top of the line when it comes to boxing knowledge. Props and respect!
One thing I really didn’t understand about the video is this. When moving to the right are you doing a sort of stutter step or a pivot?

I'm new to boxing. Just getting Into it mostly for fitness. But I enjoy your videos. One of the first channels I've seen to focus on footwork and explain it as a means to deliver your offensive and defensive tactics. Lots of channels seem to talk about footwork being important and give drills to practice. But you do an excellent job at explaining WHY it's important and not just SAYING it's important
This is one gem I will implement in my next sparring match in December. Great tool. Love the channel.
It seems like this is similar to how I was taught to move away from the power hand and to watch your positioning on the opponents lead foot....... sound advice though.
First time ever watching a Marvin Cook video. Dude has hella humble energy and is clearly very passionate and knowledgable! Subscribed, commented and liked- I'm glad I came across your channel 😊
Thankful for the new content and new perspective! 💯
That was a brilliant little insight. You sir are quite methodical indeed. Great post and thank you.
