@Danny overhands ARE a variety of a hook. Not really trained when running the basics to a rookie- it's jabs, crosses, uppercuts, & hooks. 4 punches. Whatever variation you're thinking of, its of those 4 legal punches in Boxing. A power jab is still a jab.
This is my jab. There are many like it, but this one is mine.My jab is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.Without me, my jab is useless. Without my jab, I am useless. I must fire my jab true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to beat me.
@@SteCoughlan he is a legendary trainer and boxing historian. He knows all todays fighters like the back of his hand he lives boxing and I trust his every word.
The all around wisdom this man has is unparalleled. Not just in boxing, but in normal life to. Doesn't matter if your a boxing fan or not teddy has great stories and lessons to be learnt
I was born in '80. I've been watching boxing since then. Then '93 rolls around and this little thing called the ufc started, so we got into that....been a fight fan my ENTIRE life....no one and I mean no one has the info like Teddy does. I absolutely love the guy
Teddy the best in explicating not only the practicality of pugilism but also on how it's relative or applicable to everyday life! Keep bringing it Teddy Atlas!
Some nostalgic people talk about the 80´s and the 90´s being better times in everything, and I agree, I´m a 90´s guy and I can relate to that, but I also thanks the 2000´s for the existence of RUclips and having the opportunity to learn from a legendary trainer like Teddy Atlas is.
I love when teddy atlas said tyson needed to make him throw the jab... I've been boxer over 20 years and in my teens when I was competing heavy my favorite thing to do was spsr round after rounds sometimes up too 30 rounds of scarring with different sparring partners and I learned on my own even without my trainer learning that too me who is my favorite trainer ice ever had including Joe Cortez, doc brodus, Bob foster and Michael carbajol, and it was to set traps by luring and making other boxers throw certain punches so I could counter or catch them if I noticed there hands dropping after throwing certain punches
One of my old coaches would have someone hold a pinky ball or tennis ball against their face with the left hand. Often when you "just" practice holding the left hand at your ear you don't realize the left hand has dropped. This way if you were practicing alone at home or your coach was watching someone else, the ball would drop on the ground and you knew you were making the error.
The man who taught me to box had a wicked left hook, battle tested in the GG. I quickly learned not to drop my right when jabbing. And how to reset a broken nose…😎 I have had to have a go a few times in the street and one of the first things I check is my cover.
Great story and simple but AWESOME technique! I just did it now a couple of times (I'm on a snack break at work and just checked this out) and I'm certainly going to implement this technique on my training sessions! Thank you very much, Coach! Best regards from Brazil!
He's always 100% right and shows phenomenal workouts for boxers, this specific workout is good for fighters that use the conventional up n down or peek a boo type defense on the other hand it wouldn't be as good of a workout for any fighter that uses the shoulder roll or "Philly shell" because on defense that right hand will move on both sides of your head.. It still is a great workout for all boxing styles even the shoulder roll just not as effective for that specific defense
One of my first trainers started me out with my right hand blocking all the way up to the top of my head because he knew natural digression would lower it down to wear it should be.
Thanks for the story about that bad habit. I notice I would do the same at times. I’ve actually been working on that on the past year or so to fix those mistakes.
Watch how Lennox Lewis used to jab in his later career. Thats how tall fighters should fight in hw boxing. He almost leaned on them with the jab holding the jab on their faces and bam! Big right haymakers overhands uppercuts from a long distance. Also his double jab, the way he came with a slow half jab then followed up with a heavy long jab was pure masterclass. He didnt even need to put speed on it just perfect timing and positioning.
Lennox Lewis had the best jab ever in boxing !!!,hes 1-2 was immense,klitschko copied him,Larry Holmes had good jab and Bob foster to,but in any combat fighting everything is set up by the jab most important weapon to have in your tool box !!,
My trainer used to put a leaf in between my right glove and my head and another one between my left shoulder and my chin. Then he’d have me move around the ring. For the first 2 months that’s all I did. Never threw a punch for 2 whole months
I like listening to. Teddy Atlas about Boxing everything come from the Jab. What Teddy said about, Carl Williams when he use to. Throw his Jab he use to drop. His right hand Mike Tyson knocked him out. In a round, Teddy Atlas know his boxing he has trained a Number of. World Champions. 🥊🌍
I didn't know you had a yt channel teddy! ...just subbed! ..this is as close as im gna get to training with you!! I often hear u commenting...i really like how u explain things and techniques...your stories are gems...you can apply them not only in boxing but also in life. I appreciate you teddy. Thanks!
The jab is probably what you should try and work on the most more than all other punches...because you work almost everything off the jab..including finding range, keeping your opponent at bay so he doesn't charge in and put pressure on you...and so many more...makes sense why people still call boxing the sweet science.
Teddy's knowledge of the physical, technical part of boxing is next level but his deep understanding of the mental side, the spiritual aspect is what sets him apart.
My name was Carl Williams in about 2014 I use to do the same thing until I ate the hardest left hook I’ve ever been hit with for breakfast that was the last time I ever drop my hands in striking range. I’ll never forget that shit I went home with a headache that didn’t go away for like a week and a half. The whole room stopped like I got into a car accident, I could barely see for a few seconds, all I heard was whomp whomp whomp in my ears that shit was bad. Never again lol. I’m definitely gonna start using this ear grabbing technique when I practice from now on I might even dedicate rounds with an s on the end just to grabbing my ear and throwing jabs from now on. Thank you teddy atlas.
Teddy could probably have a ted talk for every punch in boxing.😁
aladious H ...indeed., a TED' Talk!
@@rareearthelement8698 well, there are about only 4 allowed punches in Boxin to be fair... its the combos that are mesmerizing
@Danny overhands ARE a variety of a hook. Not really trained when running the basics to a rookie- it's jabs, crosses, uppercuts, & hooks. 4 punches. Whatever variation you're thinking of, its of those 4 legal punches in Boxing. A power jab is still a jab.
That I a fact!
Except he still didn't explain how to improve yoir jab.
I could listen to this man talk all day there’s a story that’s associated with every technique and why you do it thank you Mr. Atlas
Coach Anthony is another gem of a trainer on youtube too
Ask him a simple question and you can.
My thoughts exactly.
... "you might get a longer ear but it will come back'.. Teddy is the best :)
If you're a Boxer, this is one guy you should listen to with 100% attention. 🎯💯
Absolutely AGREE WITH YOU. I've turned so many young kids on to Teddy's Channel 👊
This is my jab. There are many like it, but this one is mine.My jab is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.Without me, my jab is useless. Without my jab, I am useless. I must fire my jab true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to beat me.
yessir i mainly work on combinations
This is my jab , this is my gun , this is for shooting , this is for fun!
Full Metal Jacket!!!!!!
Semper Fi.
i was dying when he said you might get a longer ear but it will come back legendary indeed
Teddy 'The Godfather of Boxing' Atlas
You must be joking. He never boxed.
@@SteCoughlan he is a legendary trainer and boxing historian. He knows all todays fighters like the back of his hand he lives boxing and I trust his every word.
He is definitely NOT a boxing historian.
That title belongs to cus
This guy is a master educator. He teaches the what and the why in a way that you won't forget.
“Hopefully you enjoyed the story. Carl Williams didn’t.” 😂

Also it's great how he gives you the back story.. Really shows you, that you need to be a thinking fighter and not a robot.
I love how Teddy’s gym is just a regular room lol
A regular room has boxing bags and weights in it? Ehh wtf u on about
Haha yeah it's small in there
Hold on if you take the boxing equipment out of anyplace wouldn't it leave a regular room ?
Teddy is a Classic!! he's a walking encyclopedia of boxing and life lessons Thank You Teddy for sharing your wisdom and Knowledge...
Anytime someone gets on an Olympic team they end up with perfect form & the basics are nailed down solid.
"Hope you enjoyed the story, Carl Williams didn't" - 🤣🤣🤣🤣Great story and hope you post more!
We need more stories Mr. Atlas!) and more boxing education pls!) Great respect from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

Thanks Teddy for everything you do. A true inspiration
This Man is full of Passion and my favorite guy in boxing who actually knows Boxing !
Woahhhhhhhh!!!! Did not expect such a tip.. the jab lives⚡️
Man.. These nuggets of truth..
Seems like a easy thing to come up with.. But you never will without experience.
It's the simple tips from a pro can make help young fighters under stand the art of the sport 👍

Teddy is honestly one of best trainers ngl, I really needed to develop my Jab
“Fallen Champ” is a great documentary about Tyson and you see the kind of guy Teddy Atlas is aside from a HOF trainer.
Teddy what you do on this channel is awesome. Truth 💣 💣💣💣all the way!
I think this man if he is your trainer, and do what he tolds you. You are gonna be champion
The man who taught me to box had a wicked left hook, battle tested in the GG. I quickly learned not to drop my right when jabbing. And how to reset a broken nose…😎

I’m literally training twice a week and this simple drill is gonna help me so much
Definitely gonna apply this to class next week !
Teddy, thank you for all of the exemplary videos as well as for all you have given and contributed to boxing. Your knowledge of boxing is outstanding.
He's always 100% right and shows phenomenal workouts for boxers, this specific workout is good for fighters that use the conventional up n down or peek a boo type defense on the other hand it wouldn't be as good of a workout for any fighter that uses the shoulder roll or "Philly shell" because on defense that right hand will move on both sides of your head..

Thank you, I was trained old school by Joe Toro in Seattle, he was the best and knew all pro moves.
your knowledge is pretty solid.... salute to you sir.🤜🏽🤛🏻
God Bless you Teddy. Happy 2021!!!!
One of the best books i have ever red. I laughed .i cried . So good. .
so did williams
Thank you teddy. This advice helped a lot. Its similar to what another coach told me... "Answer the phone"
One of my first trainers started me out with my right hand blocking all the way up to the top of my head because he knew natural digression would lower it down to wear it should be.
Teddy, you’re the man, thank you for the video sir!
Love it! Wisdoms & humor *chef’s kiss* 👌🏾
Love it. Good health to you Teddy!! All the best from the UK.
Great advice I will be showing my son. Thanks teddy.
Hey how you doing Kid Gruesome?
Pure Gold Nugget. THANK YOU TEDDY!
Thanks for the story about that bad habit. I notice I would do the same at times. I’ve actually been working on that on the past year or so to fix those mistakes.
I remember that fight so well. You could see that Tyson was not the same Peek a Boo Tyson of old....but the slip and hook was perfection.

Great advice Dude. I'm going to try that exercise in my workout tomorrow.
One of the greatest coaches in sports history!

I can listen 👂 to Teddy talk boxing all day
The only comment that matters.

Teddy really is the man if I was a boxer I’d definitely want him in my corner
I hope to meet Mr. Atlas one day!!

His analogies are the best
Excellent tip, Teddy. Next step to improve your jab... push off your rear foot.
one does not have to be a boxer to love this stuff!
What does he NOT know? His tips are gold.
