I am a 65 yr old that started boxing for fitness 2 months ago; no sparring due to age and aversion to head injury. Plenty of shadow boxing, mitts and bag work. The 2 much younger men that I train with are pretty impressed with my progress. As a younger man I trained in traditional Japanese karate and there are a few similarities in hitting technique but the footwork and defence are completely different. Your videos have helped me immensely. You keep it simple and straight forward Fran. Thanks coach 👍🥊🇨🇦
This video is really gold. One thing I really took from you from myBoxingCoach montly was something along the lines of.. “master the basics like a pro so you can break them like an artist” that’s pretty much how I approach a lot of things now with the fundamentals. Even when I go back to these basics I’m always learning something new. Thank you coach Fran
Many thanks your videos are brilliantly done and very informative I'm 55 and training for my first uwc I'm 2 weeks in and find myself doing these combinations constantly as you say the kettle method my mobility and footwork is finally making sense and improving thanks again sir
My first sparing at 42 I went for a jab so did the other guy and both our heads rocked back. Never been hit before such a weird feeling. Whenever I go for a jab so does he. SLO mo was watching us both looking at the sky with a jab in each others faces.
Sir, one weird question that should we do shadow boxing with loose or tight fist and why since tight fists make my wrist exhausted 🙏 and this type of practice is helpful to fight against a boxer or street boy
@@lukerichardson2404 im not against the concept of resistance training. i do bodyweight workouts and sprint training. bodyweight workouts tend to teach you how to be more aware of how your body mechanics work as a whole while weight lifting don't really do that since its often done in isolated movements. i just dont see the many weight lifting exercises complimenting the snapping motion found in punching.

@@shushuyu I'm not saying don't do bodyweight workouts, they're good too. But lifting weights shouldn't be isolation exercises. Most should be compound

Coach it would be very interesting to see how you analyze a spar/bout from your corner, what do you look for both in your boxer & opponent .
Thx for the vídeo boss!
Love your work. Question...what are your thoughts on long guard?
This dude gots hands.
You wouldn't expect it either.

Yessir. That’s when the fun happens.
Sir, one weird question that should we do shadow boxing with loose or tight fist and why since tight fists make my wrist exhausted 🙏 and this type of practice is helpful to fight against a boxer or street boy
Thank you! "Just get on with it!"

do boxers weight lift or do they just hit the bag and do shadowboxing and running?
Depends on the boxer. I think most boxers should lift some weights if they're serious, to increase their strength and power
