Cadence is one of the most important elements in fighting. Cadence changes are what can, for example, make feints or fakes work well. Slow down just a little on the feint, or probe, then speed up your actual attack! If you get your opponent to (fall in to your cadence,) or mirror it, or move almost in time or at (the same speed) with you he will always be having to catch up to you. Then you can hit him when he is in (transition) or "motor set" as many say, before he is even able to complete his defensive movement. Also vary the cadence and essence of your footwork and upper body movement as well. One can also go from a fast cadence to a slower one, or really a brief pause or hesitation in your movement. He's reacting to your speed and faster cadence, and maybe a bit more aggressive essence? And then you suddenly pause or hesitate a bit during an attack/combination or movement. That can really throw someone off and give you an opening! Always work going from smooth medium type of flowing speed to fast cadence, staccato type change ups in to your movements, insert the pauses or hesitations as well occasionally! Great Video as always! Rhythm, Cadence, Tempo, Essence of movement.... Who knows all the differences? Also when training you can use cadence changes when responding to say a double end or (timing bag.) Or Cobra Reflex Bag? Instead of responding in time at it's cadence, see if you can move faster and get ahead of it. Put an extra slip or punch responding at a faster cadence than it's coming back at you.... Just something to play with.... ;-)
never realized how beautiful and scientific boxing really is I'm so glad my kung fu instructor INSISTED that u learn it. EXCELLENT TEACHING I've tried this and it does work once you put your ego aside. There's a tendency to always want to slam power punches into the bag every time you're in front of it.
What I’ve noticed when I watch many pros on the bag is that they’re not often going for Power, similar to what you’re advising here they go for sharpness, rhythm and cadence. It’s a joy to hear and to watch, in my opinion and I will be trying out your workout ASAP.
You explain boxing techniques to where it's easily understood and your demonstrations are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just healed from broken ribs. Starting to train again.....
Great video, JT. I'm 53 and have been trying to increase my hand speed. I think following this technique during some of my workouts will help achieve that.
Kind of the same principle behind floyd's mitt work, everybody hates and says its lazy but I could always tell he was working on muscle memory and cognition.
Just Lookin' I hear ya, bro. It’s easy getting caught up just working on power and neglecting other important elements like cadence and simply working to be slick.
been watching your vids for quite a while and I just want to say that your videos and advices helped me more than I'm even able to express. thank you, good sir, take care
This literally crossed my mind in the gym last night n I can already feel the benefits Especially after a warm up of 4 rounds skipping and 4 rounds shadow boxing Then I see this video! Always spot on J T Thank you for all your content - amazing stuff Definitely gonna be doing this much more regularly and up the tempo Many thanks 👊🏾🙏🏾💯
been doing this out of habit from old days im new to boxing but trained like this for mma by shooting lightly in with TD's and same thing happened i ended up beating my opponents cause i was too slick and its come over to boxing now thanx jt.
Thanks for the affirmation, coach! I've been trying to do this on the heavy bag and double end bag now and a few guys have given me crap in the gym because I'm not working hard enough. These are the same guys who only care about power and gas out pretty quick on the mitts and "sparring". If I can float, avoid and block their big punches for the first minute of a round, I start to find lots of openings!
thank you for this video. this is sort of what i been telling people that always tell me to hit the bag harder. power will come, you have to make sure you know how to punch first, so again, thank you.
Beautiful technique to watch. It's a long time since I injured and haven't watch your channel for at least half a year. You look stronger and your arm is much bigger now...
Coming from a traditional karate background I still do some "points fighting" rounds to try and keep my striking crisp.....and it harder than it looks!
Nice one! It reminds me of when I used to punch slow, I really did think slow! When I tried to imagine myself punching faster I immediately got my speed up! It really is if you are used to going fast then u will be fast
Love the content JT thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion. I've been really excelling in the gym putting in extra time outside of it and applying your lessons. I'm relatively new but ive been giving guys hell and theyve been at it for a while. Ima late starter but its a plus because the love for the sport was always there but learning the little details of the sweet science I'm addicted to those eureka moments lol. You're more than a coach you're a gifted teacher period. Blessings to you and yours boss
I actually do these quick shots and movement rounds without gloves, just bandages. I usually train with 16oz gloves but I'm a small guy and I feel they don't really allow me to train at anywhere close of my real speed, when I take them off and do a light quick round it's my brain that needs to catch up.
Very very interesting, gave me the new idea on how I look at the speed and fast punching and catching the right rhythm and cadence instead of just throwing the arms out fastest we can . Can you describe a bit more in detail of how you actually doing it ?
Could you do some training and workout lesson on a double end bag. Heavy bag not an option for me. Love your stuff by the way. Been looking for just boxing but always got kickboxing. Not into kicking so thanks I love your work.
Welcome coach. I want you to play a video and have a weekly boxing program. For example, running and boxing shadow and fitness humping and punching on the bag and so on thanks

So composed, so light on the feet, so fluent, just beautiful. Thanks for this channel and for all the advices
:))))))
I’m that confident I even like your videos before watching them. 🥊
Mad for lt boxing
I liked your comment before reading it
Floyd Mayweather used to do this A LOT
I didn't know why back then, but now I understand
Good stuff as always coach :)
I remember watching him throwing 8 straight punches on the heavybag. It took me a minute to understand, what exactly he's working on.
Floyd Mayweather style heavybag training. It's feels really good when you hit bag light and also it makes puches sharper.

I work this speed drill with a double end bag. GREAT way to work combinations and foot work, helpful for muscle memory. Thanks coach.
This is the drill I've been searching for. I just need more combos.
never realized how beautiful and scientific boxing really is I'm so glad my kung fu instructor INSISTED that u learn it.
EXCELLENT TEACHING I've tried this and it does work once you put your ego aside. There's a tendency to always want to slam power punches into the bag every time you're in front of it.
I've been watching you for a very long time but I'm still in awe of your technique and fluidity 😳
This is a great exercise to get someone out of the habit of loading up too much on shots or throwing too few. Great stuff 👍
Been doing your drills for over a year now, I wish you could see the difference in my boxing 🥊💥 Thanks!
That's awesome to hear!

The best on YT and overall. Thank you!
rhythm is important for speed and power. lot of people dont know this
Kind of the same principle behind floyd's mitt work, everybody hates and says its lazy but I could always tell he was working on muscle memory and cognition.
Boy did I need this! Always getting comments from my training on hand speed. This will be a staple of my workout going forward.
Just Lookin' I hear ya, bro. It’s easy getting caught up just working on power and neglecting other important elements like cadence and simply working to be slick.
been watching your vids for quite a while and I just want to say that your videos and advices helped me more than I'm even able to express. thank you, good sir, take care
more great advice - much appreciated - I'll be trying this when I'm training at the weekend - I'm old so I really need to practice speed over power
Added this to my last workout and I love it. Definitely going to become something I add to my training. Thanks for the great content as always
I’ve been teaching myself boxing and I’ve never not done that as part of my training routine. I love shadow boxing.
playapapapa23 lmao
This literally crossed my mind in the gym last night n I can already feel the benefits
Especially after a warm up of 4 rounds skipping and 4 rounds shadow boxing
Then I see this video! Always spot on J T
Thank you for all your content - amazing stuff
Definitely gonna be doing this much more regularly and up the tempo
Many thanks 👊🏾🙏🏾💯
this is a good start to train boxing and later sign up for a match in Street Beefs.
been doing this out of habit from old days im new to boxing but trained like this for mma by shooting lightly in with TD's and same thing happened i ended up beating my opponents cause i was too slick and its come over to boxing now thanx jt.
Very cool!
Love your vids! There are several boxing channels but you explain the "how" and "why" perfectly 👍
Man this guy is great!! Never a dull video and full of knowledge.

It’s a testament to the amazing condition you’re in that you can calmly instruct while hitting the bag and not appear winded at all. Impressive.
Great advice. I will try this routine on my heavy bag. Thanks for the advice JT!
thank you for this video. this is sort of what i been telling people that always tell me to hit the bag harder. power will come, you have to make sure you know how to punch first, so again, thank you.

You have taught me SO MUCH !! THANK YOU !!
Very helpful video. Thanks man.
Best "real" (I mean that in a good way) boxing channel on YT!... Clear and concise, every video! You're not in Philly are you?
speed + technique = power
Peace from Palestine.
Amazing channel
الف تحية لاهلنا في 🇵🇸
Great stuff. Thank you for the description and demo.
Andrew Huberman comment with one like lol. You weren't that known back then I guess.

That speed is awesome. I mean you move in complete rhythm, feet and hands together as one. Keep it up bro!!
thank you, sir. This is precious.
Appreciated very much
excellent demonstration JT
Another excellent video man. Your giving is hidden gems
Superb stuff. Really cerebral approach. Thanks
Good! I’m really struggling trying to get my mind faster I keep saying I should have countered then but my thought process is too slow
Agree with this 100%, great way to build speed up 🥊👍🏻
Another great video guy, thank u. I love working the bag like that
you're a beast coach... I would have loved to see you fight in your prime.
He has some clips of his early fights
Quality stuff as usual.
I love your vids 👍👍👍
