Yes while using footwork for like doing a basic punch iam not sure that iam actually using my leg or my body to help with the punch, how to know if iam doing it correctly or not.Sorry if i wasted your time while reading this and thanks if you will reply

[@mihajlomarinovski1973]

I wonder do you still do sparrings or fights, and if you do could you maybe film them and post them. I also think it would be really nice for you to make like an analysis type video in wich you re-watch some of the best boxing fights and explain what were the fighters mistakes and what should've they done different to turn the outcome of the match. I also love to see you ratting your fans boxing clips and i wish you made more of those videos...Keep up the good content lad!

How to deal with jabs (single, double+) as an inside fighter or just generally - is it about finding angles, footwork, head movement, etc.

[@louiee_b]

I really wanted to start boxing but I realized that it causes a lot of mental injuries and stuff like brain damage, what could I do without getting into medical injuries?

[@chrisseymour1987]

Breathing is the most important thing in any sport, what are some breathing exercises u do beside the most common breath out to punch in to defend

[@Mrpicklestick]

I agree with what u did at the Olympic qualifiers. The whole sport is about hitting and not getting hit. You should do what u need to, to win, it doesn’t matter what other people think

[@happzy]

I agree this is sport not a combat for survival.

[@ghostdancer444]

I agree. It's nothing more than tactics, you did what you needed to do to win. This happens in every sport, you see it all the time in football (shutting up shop), especially in 2 leg away goals double situations. Mind you, coming from Sunderland you might not have seen a defence capable of doing that very often 🤣👍

[@pabloacuna88]

In my opinion, run if you are only interested in winning but don't run too much if you are also interested in being an entertaining fighter to watch. People don't enjoy it that much, and boxing is supposed to also be entertaining since people pay to watch.

[@jaymosupreme]

Yet you criticize Mayweather........🤔🤔🤔

[@carlbruhn1772]

If your ahead on points and decide to dance through the remaining rounds, that is a strategy, it is up to your opponent to counter that and get back in the fight or lose the decision.

Mr Jeffries Plz don’t stop educating us about this sport. For me it feels amazing haven’t actually fought but I will in time. With ur videos I’ll learn little by little but I appreciate you’re videos

[@PopeyeBerlin]

I started boxing on a heavy bag a few years ago just for myself and for fitness. My footwork nearly didn't exist. I was just hitting the bag but didn't move like a boxer. But I want to improve my footwork and so I tried this tutorial. I can tell you, it works, as well as the other footwork drills of Tony here on KZbin. Everyone who wants to improve footwork, try it! You will succeed after a few days already. Thank you, Tony! 😃👍

Totally agree with what you did at the Olympics, it’s the equivalent to game management in football… (3-0 up, game is won and the winning team play keep-ball 🤷‍♂️) Another awesome video Tony, thank you!! 🙌👏

[@kylefields3951]

16:16 There it is! I'm practicing mixed martial arts but I've been doing my own little training camp to get better boxing because my hands were always the worst aspect of my martial arts, I do good at both attacking and defending against kicks but it's because I'm using a traditional karate stance. Karate stance is that exact position Tony Jeffries is talking about. It's not bad by itself but it doesn't lend to good rotations and balance for one-two's and other traditional hand striking. I need to stay conscious about my footwork and how even seemingly insignificant changes in my feet positioning leads to drastically different outcomes. Thanks so much for all this free knowledge, Tony. We really do appreciate it. 👏

[@CityWhispers600]

Thanks for videos like this, a lot of things can be learned from this, thanks a lot. Greetings from Serbia

[@athanasiosbeslikas6074]

I consider your tactics fair. Boxing is a sport. In a sport we must use tactics and our brain first and foremost. So not engaging in order to get the best result for you is tactics. If your oponent has slow feet then using your feet as defense is a great tactic to tire him and make him frustrated. Whoever says that your defense and your strategy is cowardish needs to think again. For example, if I have an oponent who has great body shots and is taller than me , I need to play with my chin very low and using my body moves left and right to avoid the body shots and attack from the low with uppercuts and hooks, without using my cross and jab so much because I risk my game against a good body shot boxer. So this is a tactic. Also what you did is a tactic, fair, and you exploited your strength (fast feet) and your opponents weakness. Thanks for your impressive and detailed videos. I train myself using your videos, mainly for fitness purposes, and from every boxing youtuber you stand out for your athletic spirit, your kindness and knowledge and also for your badass British accent! Love you Tony! Keep it up!

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Thank you for sharing ma friend, mean a lot 🙏🏻

[@zyxxzyxx3837]

Wonderful video bro. Can you make one with the same approach but a follow along version? It'll be easier to just watch and perform instead of pausing and pressing forward and backward every few seconds. You can make beginner and advanced versions. Just make em follow along. Also please add more moves to create angles.

[@randylawrence504]

This is great channel. I think that pushing the pace and a fighters pressure should be taken into account when scoring a fight. That would stop fighters from refusing to engage. It works in MMA.

[@gks554]

I'm using this when i begin my training on Monday. I've made my own training routine... book essentially. I've merged my boxing routine with my basketball vertical jump training, found a way. Nothing is impossible as they say. It has EVERYTHING I need to enhance my training to a high degree. I'm new to boxing so, this should be interesting. I can punch, I have punched before lol. What I mean is I have not taken boxing that serious until now. Things change, what can I say. I'm a 20 year old hoping to be a great boxer someday, which I'm certain will be due to my hard work and dedicated mindset, always been that way. Just the way I am. I don't want anybody to wish me luck. I dont believe in "luck" anyway. I just want to show that it's never too late, and that anybody can be whom ever they ought to be IF they just stick to it. Simple as pie. Don't stop, EVEN when you had enough, because if you really loved the sport... you would NEVER have enough. Strive to win. I know I am. See you at the gym. 👊🏻

[@atdestreik702]

I do not think it is cowardly at all! You know, some fighters will be all about the engagement, others are tactical machines both intellectually and physically. Whatever the case, boxing engages the best of those worlds and more, and that is what is so exciting. Seeing people excel, and do well with the right tools at the right time. Thank you for the video!

[@Retired_Fighter]

I totally agree with you, Coach Tony. In the ring, we need any method(s) to win (stay undefeated) as long the rules aren't broken. This is all about Tactics.

[@seadawg93]

Thank you SO much for (all of this but especially) the discussion of on the toes and flat footed. I use Bas Rutten’s boxing and kickboxing workout CDs and he really emphasizes the flat footed approach and I’ve always been confused when I hear people emphasize toes because I’m like “well, they know what they’re talking about, but so does Bas Rutten, so what the hell do I do!? Lol Both! Beautiful! 🙏

[@strixt]

I believe Mike Tyson was mostly a flat-footer as well. He danced on toes (as anyone would) but a lot of videos I've seen he is flat when he's going for it.

[@jd1ify]

He’s flat because he’s a power house! If ur lighter it’s better to use a mix between flat and quick feet

[@ИмяФамилия-т8б8б]

Could be because he is kickboxer. I heard you need to be more flat footed to throw legs and defend lowkicks.

[@lulubella6423]

Thankyou for this as my first fight is coming up in five weeks I just need to get used to the shock afterwards not crying but mostly importantly I need to close the distance more so maybe I need to step a bit wider to get in so thankyou for the drills I'll definitely practice this

[@PimpSpeed]

Thanks Tony!!! Will definitely follow along and integrate some of these teachings on my routine. Can’t believe we’re getting this for free🤩

[@Sl33pySage]

I agree with what you did at the Qualifiers! That's what the sweet science is all about. I must admit though that there is something about the other side of the coin in the mindset of being aggressive, having that warrior spirit and going back in. Different styles and different fighter personalities is what makes this sport so interesting.

[@maxliggett5195]

I screenshotted the advanced ladder drills one by one. Had trouble on #21 for ages...then I watched the video back and noticed it was a typo😂 feels way more natural with the 2 before stepping back!

[@zippo_muk9254]

*I 100% agree that fighters should use footwork to move away in the LAST round.* If a fighter is up 6 rounds to 0, and then runs for 6 rounds, I think that’s not okay. But if it’s the last 1-2 rounds then that’s fine.

[@hitbyligtning9661]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME TEACHING ... CLINICAL & TO THE POINT ! Thanks heaps Tony !

[@avopeac6300]

I agree with spacing when you have a psychological advantage in that your opponent will grow impatient. When you can it's always good to make them come to you, learned this from lots of 1v1s in various video games lol.

[@Thomas-wk5ll]

Great ethical question, from a spectators point of view it's a bit boring and a little frustrating to watch but, if it was me and I can comment on what I would do and what I'd do is exactly the same as you, why risk it when you're ahead. I absolutely love your coaching videos and I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

[@andrewlopez638]

i agree. if you are ahead in the fight, then its good to run. basically limit the amount of mistakes you can make by not engaging. thats great strategy. even the art of war says to win you must put yourself beyond the possibility of defeat.

[@awesome10k64]

The explanation is top notch. Love the presentation, the background is really clean, camera angles are really good, editing is great. However, i really wouldn't call this advanced. Intense for sure, but not really advanced imo. And yes i actually did all of this before commenting. Maybe it's just because I'm used to more complex moves, or maybe I'm wrong.

[@TheOneAndOnlyLewis]

With regards to your question, I think there is a balance. If you know you're up going into the final round, then I think its a valid tactic to switch to a more defensive style, however I dont mean running away, I think you should still be showing your skill, cause the fighter to miss shots, set up counter punches of your own, but avoid taking any big risks.

[@germanshepherdlover2613]

Not getting hit is smart, not cowardly at all. What you did at the Olympics was a great strategy in my humble opinion.

[@bystander1489]

I agree with what you did once you realise movement and running away from opponents is part of boxing skill and the fight game

[@dope.dialectics]

Footwork definitely is the most important thing in any striking all around! Love it. 😁

[@drewaksparky1013]

U used ur feet to win in the last round. Who has championships, yeah u do. So u did smart boxing in my opinion. Started boxing in my mid 50s and have help me enjoy the sweet science and stay fit, and learn great basics, want to say thank you TJ!!

[@niadavies1539]

I don't think it's cowardly, it is a strategic skill, sadly its not always judged as so and doesn't always work to your advantage when it comes to scoring, I'm reminded of Dela Hoya vs Trinidad he out boxed him and danced for the last 3 rounds, thought he had the fight but lost, think if he'd engaged more in those rounds he'd of won. First defence in most MA is don't be there! Just discovered your vids, brilliant... Thank you

[@sherwinrasmusenmusicchannel]

As a boxing coach on FMW team i agree with with what you did in the olympics. What young heads do not get is it is not about “being a man and get your brans bashed in. Footwork is crucial it is about hitting and not getting hit. Remember you got to be on your toes. You taught us a good drill. phase is a good technique. I think you should use the heavy bag i never thought about the cons of on your toes. Actually you want to mix it up, I noticed the good fighters do this well. sometimes be on your toes, other times flat footed is good. The con is you lose power but on your toes also gives you a speed advantage. If you are on your toes, you can phase in, phase our and do quicker. I agree on your toes takes energy. Your outside punches are good and you don’t have to worry about using head movement all the time and getting hit Would you say mix it up? Sometimes it is good to fight flat footed to conserve energy and get morn-power but other times it is about speed and footwork. I prefer footwork defense and on your toes but in the later rounds. I might utilize flat footed to conserve the energy. I saw your how ro punch faster. I admit you look good on yourself toes. , you did the same phase technique on that as well.

[@seadawg93]

This video is just to fucking cool! When I used to do traditional martial arts I always heard footwork was the most important, but never knew how to train footwork specifically. Even if I got a book on boxing it would just show how to do the basic movements, but not the actual drills.

[@brokencontrollers3858]

So your question hit home for me. I actually used this exact tactic in my first boxing match. I was positive I had the guy so I just stayed away from him in the final round and just tired him out. It worked like a charm. Of course I was wiped too from keeping the distance between us too long to engage. In the end the guy actually beat me. My recommendation, stay engaged. It's easy when your in there to be like yeah I'm doing it and I'm beating this guy while I'm doing it. But the judges may not see it your way. So do EVERYTHING possible to dictate the outcome. That the old proverb, never leave it in the judges hands? That's a real philosophy I fully believe in.

[@scottburns7798]

[@cloudminder5899]

I've just started training my son and I intend teaching him about being able to switch and also to easily box clockwise/counter-clockwise. I think this is an area overlooked in boxing.
