@coachcraiguk been training 2 years and never realised you had more range on the cross 🫣 will be putting that measuring trick into practice for sure!
@coachcraiguk14 сағат бұрын
@themusicalsandwich3063 it’s a little known fact really my friend but yes if you rotate properly you will hit with the cross , obviously if your to far away it will make you lean forward and over extend but yes if my jab is just missing il find a home for my cross 👍🥊

How to avoid getting an overhand or similar over the top while measuring?
@coachcraigukКүн бұрын
That does happen yes but knowing that can happen be ready for it, pop back on your feet and back in for the counter , make sure that chin is tucked behind your shoulder while measuring as well, just in case you don’t see it coming 👍🥊

Is the “under the heart” punch a solar plexus blow? Also, is striking the sternum the best way to land a blow to the heart? Thanks!
@coachcraigukКүн бұрын
The famous heart punch , no they are to separate punches my friend for a solar plexus shot I aim centre line just under the rib cage and the “ under the heart “ shot is what’s referred to when that punch is slightly off centre 👍🥊

Bloody damn good video coach. Loving the emphasis on hit and I move and taming the ego i.e. blindly just hitting the bag like Rocky. Secondly the cone idea for range is something I'm going to implement. Thank you again for some great content and effective teaching methods. 🤛

Coach when should i do 1-2 with recovery step as opposed to pendulum style explode in, 1-2, explode out. Would it be dependent on opponent getting out of range as soon as you initiate any offense?
@coachcraiguk6 күн бұрын
Hey brother so the pendulum step I tend to use if some one is trying to counter my jab , ie I throw a jab they try to counter so I use the pendulum to exit to make them miss and immediately follow up with a 1-2, it’s actually used a lot by the GB Olympic team , if that makes sense 👍🥊

Actually a great idea on doing something that's realistic, sometimes we have to agree there are footwork traps I'll call it that way, that are not realistic, and you don't have the time for them, for example people are doing side step through another step that destroys the idea of side step at all, and they try to idealise it like they're robots, and it's not really realistic, this video is literally for everyone out there who wants to learn something

Greeks and Romans had Boxing in the ancient Olympics, along with Wrestling. But it was closer to MMA, I believe, though not certain regarding the latter point.... Other than that, I believe that Boxing and Wrestling became much more refined as, along with Catch Wrestling, they constitute the English, Irish and Scottish unarmed martial systems, or "What you do when you drop your Shillelagh..." As far as I know, or believe, anyway.

Hey brother really appreciate your comment I completely agree , I’m always on at my guys at the gym , particularly the young guns and particularly in sparring , in fact last night I had them drilling basic, tight defence over and over instead of anything flashy , when it came to free sparring one lad went back to his default “flashy” style but couldn’t understand why he was getting lit up , boxing is already complicated enough without making it more complicated, basics just work, appreciate you being here and an active member of the sweet science community my friend 👍🥊

Did you say “Go step”? Is you Go Step the same as Barry Robinson’s?
@coachcraiguk24 күн бұрын
If I did then it was by accident my friend but my go step would be the first step of the combination if that makes sense ….. wait I know what you mean… ghost step , that’s what I said, and that’s when as an orthodox trying punch same hand same foot moving to the right , so the right foot has to move first and no punch happens the first punch comes on the second step so as the left foot moves the left hand strikes, so the ghost step is beginning footwork in a combination before the combination actually starts if that makes sense 👍🥊

Hi Shane I’ve heard several different versions , here in the uk I’ve heard a story where a guy from the Philippines accidentally brought boxing to what we do now, the story goes that originally we had the very long style that you’ve seen people like Jack Broughton have, well this guy from the Philippines came over who studied a lot of Philippine knife fighting so he was used to keeping his arms close to his body so his arms didn’t get cut, he took a prize fight and just fought like he was used to but without knives and the closed guard was born.. legend has it anyway 👍🥊
