My dad was a boxer in the 20s in NYC, and he taught me how to punch. As it happened I never had to use the skill seriously but he taught how to punch very much like you do, getting the body behind it and turning the the hand at the end with a snap. I passed it on to both my sons and could feel when the got it- they started to hurt my hand! They both went to rough schools and quickly developed a reputation for being able to punch effectively. A skill well worth developing.
I am 54. I am 9.5 stone and started going to the gym with a personal trainer to get myself fit. I was doing it for about four months and it gave me lots of confidence. I was walking home feeling pumped as you do, when I passed a group of lads who for some reason took a disliking to me. I got nervous and continued to walk. Yeah, I was punched in the back of the head, no reason. Anyway, I heard someone shouting and this guy must be say 60-65 came running over and Jesus, he was throwing punches from everywhere. I am not going to say I did anything heroic haha I didn't get the chance. The point is you are never too old. Life is also sadly more dangerous as people don't need a reason anymore. It did shake me for a while, yet it also pushed me to train harder. Thanks.
@Oscarspoem, no you're never too old but it should be absolutely the last resort - when you're cornered. These days, with so many thugs carrying knives, it's way better to stay passive, avoid eye contact, ignore any insults etc. It's not worth risking your life.
Ya 8 months old I know. There was a trainer from Philadelphia who trained some pros, and was attempted to be carjacked by a couple of young guys. The victim was in his late 70's or early 80's. Anyway he beat the living hell out of them both until one shot him dead..they were caught bc one had to go to hospital from injuries from that old boxer. They actually were so afraid they had to shoot him. That tells you the power of the sweet science You can Google it was in the news. Even though he died that day, he died a man on his feet handling his business. Those who shot him have to live with the reflections of cowards who let an old man best them. Chin down hands up for life

I have never watched a boxing video in my life but this was so fun to try. The video was so thorough and explained a good form so well that I couldn’t help but try it out myself. Had to watch the video a few times to do so
Had an old pro boxer from the 70's in jail when I was in there and he taught us a few tricks and the guy in the video explains EXACTLY like my dude did... u definitely want to practice with your non dominant arm, pretend your carrying books under both your elbows and talking on the phone with your dominant hand, then picture a target on the and jab at it... I first started doing that and looked sloppy as hell! My left arm was all over the place! Like barney fife trying to shoot the side of a barn lol and I had the entire dorm laughing at me, dude told me "don't worry about them, you don't see them getting up here and doing any of this... laugh at them because they're scared to do what your doing", but the more I practiced my jabs they got better, and other inmates started coming up like "man! Those jabs are looking good!" And every night for weeks it was just jabbing and stepping with my left arm, few weeks later I was throwing at his hands and he says "give me a power punch with your dominant arm" and of course that arm was always natural, so when I swung it he says "DAMN! That's a straight knockout or at least a hell of a bell ringer!" Old dude died a few ago and I still miss that old dude, even though it was just a few months in jail, he made an impact! And it hurt when I heard he passed! So I subscribed to this guy because I know for a 100 percent fact he knows what he's talking about!

Great tips Keeping your nose between your knees for balance and touching your temples in order to get in the habit of not dropping your hands helped me a great deal.
Brilliant channel this Tony. I've bought a heavy bag and some gloves and my young son and I are following your videos and getting so into the training. Absolutely marvelous stuff, for conditioning, fitness, confidence and great fun too. Appreciate you doing these videos and congratulations on a superb channel mate. Really engaging.
You are the best instructor, Tony. Bloody awesome content and true passion for this sweet science that rubs off on us watchers. Endless thanks, dude. Big respect.
Omg Tony thank you! This has personally been so helpful to me as I've been struggling with a bad situation lately. Honestly I can't thank you enough for helping me out of a tough spot in my life, I've got a feeling I'll be getting A's in math from now on. 📝👊
Thank You For This, I was recently involved in a school fight with a person two years older than me who was massive and thanks to this I managed to overwhelm him and win the fight.
Thx for the advice, I’ve been getting real heat at school and while there hasn’t been much confrontation I wanna have this in my back pocket, just in case I need to defend myself
Hi Tony, I really like the channel. I injured my left hand sparring when I threw a left hook and it connected more towards the index finger joint than the knuckle. Whilst I appreciate that is my fault maybe you could do a video on drills to avoid amateurs like myself making silly mistakes that lead to these probablt avoidable injuries. Also thanks for making fellow brits proud
I am 15. and this, rlly helped me out in the 13s. at 14s. started training everyday at the school gym. 1 hour every day with extra physical education Classes. which is also 1 hour. and 25 minutes. so bassically. it was alot. after 1 year. i was able to lift the heaviest weight in the schoo gym. and i was proud since only little was being able.then they added a new machine. and also i was able to lift 30 if you want to know. and huh. yeah. they added a new machine. which you could now lift up to 200. hahaha. um. 30 + 30 = 60. which is like. 130 lbs. which is ALOT. Im now 15. and i can now do 150 lbs!
The other essential tip that a lot of people take months or years to learn is to keep your punching arm relaxed and only tense it on impact. If you tense it on the way out it slows, loses power and tires you out.
i had 13 seconds to prepare for a fight thanks for showing the proper technique real fast brother i hope i don't break my fingers after throwing the first punch
Broke my hand once punching down on a shorter squat opponent, learnt the hard by realizing I had to use more upper cut type punches on these types of opponents.
Just started training without gloves, so still experimenting, but it changed my punches from horizontal to vertical. Either straight (jab and cross), or fully rotated (cross and overhand). Seems much easier to have a consistent two knuckle impact. Open hand might be even better. Also trying to switch towards a Muay Thai style use of elbows and knees in the shortest range, being consistent with two knuckles in tight hooks takes too much wrist twisting.
Im from a Traditional martial art background now doing wrestling and boxing. It depends on body structure and Repetition. I started with a vertical fist but after having a certain punching power you have to have a horizontal punch to prevent elbow for overextending. Also if you rotate wrong you will block your shoulder and be stiff. The trick is to rotate from the back muscles by pushing them out
@@dayman161172 Maybe, I am by no means an expert, also just recreational and not a fighter. But then again at HW probably don't lack power in most situations, specially considering this video is focused on street fights with no weight classes, so a lot of difference is outside what training can provide. Anyway, the problem I find with no gloves is mostly with hands. If a punching style can alleviate pressure on hands and create a limited issue somewhere else it might still be a reasonable bargain. I can't really punch full force with bare hands (no bandage either) anyway even on the bag, let alone a hard surface. Actually, in a real fight I would strongly consider open hands even, as well as elbows. Even with the best close-fist technique getting a dynamic moving target wrong is still very possible. In any case I have started horisontal, moved to vertical, damaged fists a lot bare handed, even without a single missed punch and everything on the two knuckles, elbows though are still OK :duno: Though you might have better conditioned hands if from a traditional background, so that too is a possible factor.
@@Tony_Jeffries Good video. I was though the "tighten late" approach, but this makes sense. But again, it is in a boxing scenario - not sure how much of it transfers directly in a no-glove no-rules one? Not having gloves possibly also changes defense a lot and you might engage hands for pairing more, I guess? Don't know. Also, hitting with open hands is in itself an option to consider with unprotected hands. All speculative however, not in habit of punching anything outside the gym :D
@@goranmekota7540 yes you are right. I mentioned traditional martial art to emphasis that i know the difference between a ring and streets. I would also never use fists for the head. I use the fists for the torso. Open hands are better for the head part right. I worked a long time to get punching power with my box training. If you can do that then palm punches are almost the same. In my opinion the best punch is simplest and the most powerful with the least telegraphing. Thats what my training is or was the past years
Cheers Tony. Been following your videos a few weeks now. I seem to be improving a little. I kept knackering my right wrist by getting over confident but that seems of of stopped now. Great videos fella.

hi my man, thank you for making such videos, I'm a young armwrestler and in my country we have a festival called Vatra, it's actually about the fact that it's the longest day, but everyone goes there to get drunk and usually there are fights, so I'd like to prevent that, but you know sometimes it's not possible
You're a great guy...according to what my father showed me when I was a kid...you can't on ..my father had over 30 amateur fights thanks for your advice .😄
Dear and Respected Tony, I have a a sincere request for you, as you have in depth full video on body punches, in similar way kindly make a video in depth full video on head punches and defence too. Waiting......
Practice on the regular and mess around with it. It helps because not everyone is the same. At least at one point in your life you’ll have to defend yourself whether it be now or 20+ years from today
One of my friend use to be Shane Mosleys sparring partner during the 90s. He told me some of the best boxers like Tyson, Floyd, pacquiao, cotto, oscar, Leonard, Ali are ambidextrous? What is your take on this? By the way, the wife and I are huge fans of your channel. Keep the content coming one love.
1:00 this isnt entirely true if youre fighting someone that will be kicking you in the leg, the boxing side stance does make you a smaller target, but if they kick you in the legs theyre gonna knock you off balance very easily.
This why forearm and elbows are safer less likely to brake. your hands have alot of bones but is good information for boxing and punching in general as there commonly a faster strike in the cases of average people
What do you think about fighters like Lomachenko who fights southpaw but is right handed? This was also Bruce Lee's method, he was right handed and used a southpaw stance. I see the logic behind having your dominant hand for your cross if you want pure knock out power, I also see the logic to having your dominant hand as your lead hand because it's faster and stronger for throwing lead hooks uppercuts, and jabs. If you can throw really good lead shots that are 80-90% as strong as cross shots, then it makes your opponent worry about that lead side. Often times, in sparring, when I know my opponent doesn't have a strong jab I'll eat one on purpose so I can return with a hook. Because I know it's slow and weak I can just roll with it easily and won't do anything, or I can slip to the right and counter with a left cross.
Dang Tony! Great job distilling down all the key points in under 4 minutes. I totally appreciate your sense of humor. It helps remind me to pay better attention. That bit at the beginning (putting your thumb inside your fingers) had me mindlessly following along for a few seconds, until the screeching big "X". Always keeping us on our toes! Thanks.
I'd like to add that if it is a singular punch with the dominant hand, as in you don't intend to throw another, then it helps to sort of lunge with it by tucking your non dominant leg in and extending the dominant one
If your in a actual fight your not thinking about all that I'm flying on someone with my all Just when he hits the floor it's over because I'm not giving any slack
Cuz you aren’t a boxer, if you are a boxer and then get in a fight then you would fight like you are fighting someone in a boxing match because you’re used to fighting that way

You're a great guy...according to what my father showed me when I was a kid...you can't on ..my father had over 30 amateur fights thanks for your advice .😄
Dear and Respected Tony, I have a a sincere request for you, as you have in depth full video on body punches, in similar way kindly make a video in depth full video on head punches and defence too. Waiting......
Great suggestion Vikas. I’ll do a video on this, turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it.
These videos are awesome, Tony! Keep up the good work!!
Great advice Tony.
You can never over train the basics.
My little brother got beat up today this will help for him and me if he cant do it the elder and more terrible brother will help
i never had a fight in my living hope this helps me to defend myself if it happens
Practice on the regular and mess around with it. It helps because not everyone is the same. At least at one point in your life you’ll have to defend yourself whether it be now or 20+ years from today
same
Thanks for talking about the small knuckles. I learned the hard way.
Love from India sir
Thanks for the support Anant 👊🏻 How are you there mate?
I pick my nose with my left...
throw ball with my right
brush with my right
write with my right
eat with my right
jab with my right
Yes, indeed. Body balance and projection plus hand/arm position are fundamental for a great punch in a fight
Thank you Tony regards from Kenya
Welcome! How are you there mate?
@@Tony_Jeffries Good I just started learning boxing a few weeks ago and I find your channel quite helpful. Cheers mate
One of my friend use to be Shane Mosleys sparring partner during the 90s. He told me some of the best boxers like Tyson, Floyd, pacquiao, cotto, oscar, Leonard, Ali are ambidextrous? What is your take on this? By the way, the wife and I are huge fans of your channel. Keep the content coming one love.
30 and starting boxing for the first time ever next month. Pretty intimidated by it, but can't wait.
Great to hear mate, keep it up!
@@Tony_Jeffries cheers mate. Guaranteed I'll be back here for some tips in the future!
how you doing
The main man 🤜
Great work master Jeffries, massive thanks 🙏🙏
1:00 this isnt entirely true if youre fighting someone that will be kicking you in the leg, the boxing side stance does make you a smaller target, but if they kick you in the legs theyre gonna knock you off balance very easily.
This is true, but in a street fight there are less kicks.
You can name off a million things an opponent could do in a situation
@@adnanadil4498 Yeah, its just important to consider your opponent and the context of the fight
@@Ciphertf2 , absolutely, many grapplers get beaten on the street, because they start throwing punches at strikers.
Using leg kicks is pretty rare thing in street fights, but if you are concerned about that happend...better train Muay than, I guess
I've been doing it wrong from all the fights I've been in. I leaded with the dominant fist instead of the correct way. Thanks Tony.👍
its funny how I know this stuff but still come back to it to make sure I never make a simple mistake
thats a great video , he gave every minute detail needed
Now that Daniel Craig is done, you should be cast as the next Bond👌🏻💪🏻😃
Thankyou so much because of you i learn how to throw a proper punch. Thanks
moment of silence for those who only watched the first 10 secs and left the video😭
Thank you! I'm not a boxer/fighter, but wanna be prepared if I need to defend myself.
pov a girl said she was gonna fight me tmrw
What happened its now 2 years? Still fighting?
@@lanorp-ef9qeHe died 😱
Did you win
This why forearm and elbows are safer less likely to brake. your hands have alot of bones but is good information for boxing and punching in general as there commonly a faster strike in the cases of average people
Would love to see this guy take on Ronnie Pickering... if he dares.
Thx for information
My grandma been really testing my limits lately
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Super helpful! trying to learn some self defense and wanted to start with some basics, thank you!!
What do you think about fighters like Lomachenko who fights southpaw but is right handed? This was also Bruce Lee's method, he was right handed and used a southpaw stance. I see the logic behind having your dominant hand for your cross if you want pure knock out power, I also see the logic to having your dominant hand as your lead hand because it's faster and stronger for throwing lead hooks uppercuts, and jabs. If you can throw really good lead shots that are 80-90% as strong as cross shots, then it makes your opponent worry about that lead side. Often times, in sparring, when I know my opponent doesn't have a strong jab I'll eat one on purpose so I can return with a hook. Because I know it's slow and weak I can just roll with it easily and won't do anything, or I can slip to the right and counter with a left cross.
I agree on that mate, thanks for sharing and big help for the viewers as well.

Thanks for this, I needed this to defend myself if something happens to me. A lot of stuff happens at my area you're a really cool guy.
Fortunately, I was able to stay alive after my last fight. Dude had like 50 pounds on me😳
That's tough Liam, anyways good work mate 👊🏻
This is exactly how I was taught to do basic boxing by my gym instructor 👍
help my brother is not waking up
Dang Tony! Great job distilling down all the key points in under 4 minutes. I totally appreciate your sense of humor. It helps remind me to pay better attention. That bit at the beginning (putting your thumb inside your fingers) had me mindlessly following along for a few seconds, until the screeching big "X". Always keeping us on our toes! Thanks.
I was about to stop watching the video at the beginning.
I'd like to add that if it is a singular punch with the dominant hand, as in you don't intend to throw another, then it helps to sort of lunge with it by tucking your non dominant leg in and extending the dominant one
If your in a actual fight your not thinking about all that
I'm flying on someone with my all
Just when he hits the floor it's over because I'm not giving any slack
Cuz you aren’t a boxer, if you are a boxer and then get in a fight then you would fight like you are fighting someone in a boxing match because you’re used to fighting that way
Aren't you the most adorable internet tough guy. Keep telling former Olympic boxing medalists how it's done.
Hahaha someone has to comment
Thank you this will help
Yall be sayn good video when use ain’t even watched the whole thing lol
True, but it's Tony, u knw its gonna be quality
Ily Spacey the internet video watch officer
It’s really sad
@@TY-km8hj definitely mate I agree his videos are good but u get them little desperate attention seekers who will comment “great video “ when they ain’t watched it that’s all I was sayyn
@@ilyspacey6770 yhh ur right man it is unnecessary and stupid, but then comments also help the yt algorithm so it kinda helps Tony as well
Still my favorite channel for boxing! Best regards!
poonch
