Boxing - Better Body Shots

[@mutinybmx1000]

Best online boxing channel be far. Breaks things down really well!

[@TaMeGoHiontach]

he gives an answer to the why questions which makes you remember and apply the technique

[@oraenor]

From experience another reason to keep your elbows close to the body for body shots is it prevents shoulder injuries

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Max Turner yes good point!

[@brentmitchell6219]

JT Van V keanu

[@Faceman005]

For all the rookies out there thinking about power. This techniques probably isn't more powerful then the poorer way BUT,it's faster and and helps protects you in a fight.

[@THESKITKRU]

Joham Cherisme when you get power from this punch it comes from driving with your back leg. It's very close to a wing Chun upper cut.

[@skip741x3]

@@THESKITKRU Yea, the punch is "driven " off the hip as opposed to swinging wide and slapping it ,which sadly is what alot of people do with a shovel hook

[@immortaliserwow]

Great tips! Never considered the 1st one and nobody really told me. But I used to spar a guy who would look down and strike up and the other way around. This is a great way to fool smbdy and I adobted this trick from him. Expecially when sparring a less experienced guy -just a quick look at the guts and bam -headshot. It's like faking it, but better :P

[@chasewhite363]

I learn something new from this master mind everyDAY!!

[@DJK-cq2uy]

You are an awesome teacher...Technical...effective ..practical

[@Tennmannen]

I must say that I very much enjoy your videos. Working as a striking coach myself, I've sometimes found myself out of inspiration or felt a lack of a good way to teach certain techniques. You provide a lot of good tips, principes and pointers which have helped me find that love for striking again. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, keep up the good work bro! :)

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+David Evans that means a lot, thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@drysdale1979]

Thanks for making these videos! I really appreciate you sharing your experience! I'm a novice but I've been using your tips in sparring and have really felt improvement and have gained a lot of confidence. I've been catching out guys who are more experienced and have been giving them plenty to think about!

[@konkyolife]

Great coach. Thank you for taking time to help.

[@muleto85]

That is a masterpiece even for a tall guy like me. Thank you

[@RHTNY]

Always get good tips from your vids bro. Thank you so much for your time in making them and sharing them. Continued success.

[@olatunjiogunsanya3133]

I keep learning on each video..Thanks man

[@sayazdir]

Brilliant advice. Great video. Cant thank you enough for these videos

[@martialartsscience560]

Excellent tip! I see a big difference of improvement

[@Sevolod1488]

One more thing, although it is related to kick boxing, if you are doing the wrong shot in the body, as the man said, and showed, in combination for example left jab, right body shot, opponent often tries to hit you with right leg kick after your jab (or simultaneously with your jab), and if you leave that opening between the elbow and the body, he will slip his shin in your ribs. Yet again JT Van V did phenomenal tutorial video. Often I look at a martial arts training videos, and this guy is doing the best ones. I salute you from Serbia!

[@PrecisionBoxing]

I appreciate your insight, thanks.

[@allapparel3973]

Hi JT Van , Thank you for the advice and effort making the videos , I enjoy the way you teach and perform , I wish could join your lesson in real life , but I am living in Hong Kong . Best regards Michael

[@jamesdotson599]

Once again, thanks for a great video which breaks down the left shovel hook to the body. Excellent coaching and explanation.

[@phabio29]

Thanks from Italy for your great videos Man!!

[@gracielapena3951]

Hey J! I just started looking at your videos there are really helpful. Anyway I'm been training for almost a year. I enjoy boxing so much that now it's been getting more serious. Like I want to start boxing. I always like the sport but never thought I was going to like it much more. Thanks for all you help keep it up. YOu inspire me.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

thx Graciela, its comments like yours that inspire me!

[@Crimson__King]

I don't actually have a Boxing training coach yet, but thanks to you, your video's and your app(SUPREME VERSION) I'm learning so much without one... THANK YOU!

[@tyvonable]

3Kings617 umh you should actually go to a gym and train there, you should at least know your basics like: your stance, how to move forwards, backwards and sideways, your basic jab and straight. without your basics your punches would be floppy, weak and easy to dodge. this video is actually more for those who are on boxing or did boxing and trying to improve at home, i not trying to say you should stop watching it but i just try to inform you it is better to go to a actual boxing gym.

[@jakefuenty7266]

Throughout my experience I've noticed that the most effective body shots are made by deception to break there defence,power,and accuracy liver shots,solar plexus, the ribs under the armpit and jab to chest are some good ones I use nice video man

[@dirtpoorchris]

Really solid advice. Fun to watch and see how knowledge is passed and how efficiently.

[@a7xSkateboarding]

Hey, good tips. A lot of this are things you take for granted, better being reminded here than in sparring! Can you make a video of blocking/deflecting body shots in a Philly shell type of style? When to use/not use it, etc

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Oscar Eliasson thx Oscar, I cover what you mention in this video here - www.precisionstriking.com/shop/new-video-defense-and-counter-punching-instructional-video/

[@MikeS24-v4s]

Thanks this put a new spin on my shovel hooks and uppercuts.

[@Ricocase]

Which is more helpful for a sparring match: double-end bag training or speed bag exercises? How do beginner boxers know when they're ready to spar?

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Az PharmD look up my video on how to prepare for a first fight. DE bag is better than the speed bag for real boxing

[@rageunlimited]

[@flightandguile1]

great attention to detail again, thanks. a quick question if you've got time to answer it?? my gym has just got a new 30kg maize bag, I`ve been using it for 10 rounds of drills etc.instead of just the heavy bag and mitts. so far (in my opinion) it definately gets your slipping and footwork going. what`s your opinion of them? any routines you would recommend for training on them? cheers fella.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Yea, I have two vids on the slip bag. I say you gotta do what you're motivated to do, as long as you are putting in the rounds and keeping up your work rate. Here are the vids - Boxing - Slip Bag Peekaboo Style - Part 1 - Бокс - Boxeo - 복싱 - Boxen Boxing - Slip Bag Peekaboo Style - Part 2

[@flightandguile1]

thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated.

[@williewidener7170]

This minor technical adjustment means the world to me.

[@KMAAcademy2020]

The detail you show is amazing! Quick question,over the last 2 months I've had my right eardrum bust twice during sparring when I'm reaching for the left bodyshot ,I got countered with a right hand,any tips on getting past that???

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Tee Jay drop your levels or slip left first. it will telegraph you a bit but its safer. You often balance safety vs speed in offense

[@KMAAcademy2020]

+JT Van V awesome man,thanks for the response ! Keep up the good work!

[@bacnneggs]

Awesome video as always. I didn't realize I did these things. Good things to work on and keep in mind when training.

[@hovford5444]

Cold . Always great to see your art!

[@PrecisionBoxing]

thank you boss!

[@WeesGegroetOnderdaan]

I had no idea that it is better to keep the elbow in front of you. Can't wait to try this.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

its' faster, but not necessarily more power

[@minkowski4d]

me neither. I am doing this mistake and it´s true, I already got the feeling that I am loosing time and get hit

[@tomsled]

Great video mate, looking forward to giving these details a try in my next sparing sesh. Boom!

[@Mdougherty8054]

Soon as you got to the bit about elbow position I realized I've been doing exactly what you warned against. I think part of the cause for this bad habit is the desire to throw punches as hard as possible. Better to throw with 75% power with good technique than load up for a haymaker that won't land anyway. Thanks for the tips, keep em coming.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Mdougherty8054 yes land the shot first, if you know the guy is slow and open then you can wind up a bit more.

[@jbravo41]

Great video !!! Excellent instruction on details !

[@ajtm9521]

Great videos bro. Im learing a lot. ty for sharing ! Champ ! :)

[@MikeTheTruthJackson]

So much money in this video. Good stuff.

[@MartyMoose1611]

friendly sparing (no gloves or head shots) it worked over and over with both hands. like "money in the bank."

[@Uzi-nh5sr]

Hey JT Van V, quick question. I can bang to the body with decent power but I find it difficult to find my range when it comes to body shots. Sometimes I just jab, then get them used to seeing a jab, then feint it and go to the body and it does work but then I end up smothering my own work by stepping in too close. Any ways or training tips to avoiding that? Like I either end up over-reaching and being very open or stepping in TOO close and not being able to follow up the body shot with any combinations. Thanks!

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Yes, the key is to develop power in close, not try to get the perfect range. You have to develop your inside game

[@sirkickassful]

Can you do a video on arturo gatti's style of boxing and footwork. Please !

[@allstair4212]

great video, thanks. i was wondering how you generate power with your lead hand, i have tried to use some method as the other hand, however the rotation of the waist seems akward when i try it.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Alastair Baird lead hand power for a straight comes from driving off the back foot. For the hook its shoulder/waist rotation. You have to improve these aspects

[@allstair4212]

JT Van V thanks for the reply. so just to confirm, body shots on the lead hand should be more of a jab or a hook driving off the back foot, rather than an uppercut type of body shot as shown in the video for the rear hand?

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Alastair Baird no, body shots off the lead hand are rotation of shoulders and hips with the hand driving forward. dont think about the back foot.

[@markdoty5526]

This is a great video and helped my technique but i have a problem this video didn't completely solve. I have pretty good technique when throwing punches but i don't necessarily have alot of strength, however, i have great hand speed. But when I throw my body shots they seem MUCH weaker and sometimes my sparring partners aren't even hurt by them and they seem to have no affect. I have talked to one of my friends i spar with and he said my headshots are just as good as any other boxer but my body shots feel weak. I am fairly new to boxing so i don't know if this is a common problem or not, please help.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Mark Doty There will always be something weak about your game. I have good body shots, but my left hook is weak. The key to developing something is to put extra time into it.

[@markdoty5526]

Thank you :)

[@CDDae-ew7gg]

Great videos!!

[@KingTrayTovine]

I really been a Great student for the pass 2 years Now and the only reason to go to the gym is sparing. Its like your Pocket Yoda, I study fights to pick uo little things and use you as my coach. So im gonna steal you for a couple of weeks so i can see What other tricks you. Honestly im a way better boxer cuz of this Guy. So Thanks for the Videos . Been hear since the Head movement in the ring video.

Trip ! Thx again !!!

[@TheMaster47x]

It is faster but it just feels less powerful as well. I'm having difficulty getting used to it, so used to moving my elbow back.

[@TheMaster47x]

The other thing is that at my gym they teach us to slightly squat when throwing shots at the body, personally I find that I have too much to think about when I do this and there isn't as much power when I do this, what do you think?

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+TheMaster47x yes its a trade off to a certain extent.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+TheMaster47x squatting on the set up shot before you throw the body shot will give you loads of power, squat in advance.

[@TheMaster47x]

JT Van V I guess you're right though as usual, the power won't really matter if I'm not fast enough to get a good shot off. And I'll try it, thanks.

[@erfdsddfsdfdsf7009]

Well... When is it okay to dip down for a body shot?Or it is not okay? Also when I dip for a body shot, is it okay to do some combinations to the body or should I just get myself back up as soon as possible.. Maybe if I match the dipping with some head movement and foot work whilst down there in order to avoid some of those punches

[@Tarzzan_ytb]

[@Octavius_DelMonte]

As a shorter person, would it be better for me to focus on body shots than overreaching for headshots against a taller opponent?

[@markant9534]

+Precision Striking, should your gloves always be near your chin as you punch or is it better to have an active guard?

[@nickgrace641]

Im a little confused, the left body shot is basically a Mexican rip, (body rip) or not? or Similar to a Mexican rip? Or is there a difference between the Mexican rip and left uppercut. body shot?

[@littlemanhuerta4442]

I heard you should somewhat step forward when you punch.you punch without jerking forward if that makes sense.i want to learn to punch correctly without using up all my energy and tire myself​ out

[@akiracornell]

I like a lead left hook over the opponents right hand dropping in low, with your chin under your left shoulder. your forehead slides under his right. a little or time a right lead over the jab. or if you inside a right hook to the body to right uppercut, the hook straight.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Akira Cornell that's nice! reminds me of a GGG kinda shot

You should make a vid on looking to fake out an opponent.

[@ether6136]

Lol my coach is always saying that my jab is slow and i need to "pop that jab" hes not the most articulate person so he never explains what it means. Wtf does it mean to "pop that jab"????

[@PrecisionBoxing]

it means for you to snap it fast without tightening your body and telegraphing. Imagine trying to kill a bug on someone's face without destroying their face.

[@ether6136]

oohhhhhhhhhhh lol thx! IDK what the hell he was talking about

[@Xbot4Life]

You really need another couch m8, why he is training people to box when he cant ever describe it in English is beyond me.

[@chemogang]

Hey Jason, could you please make video about body defense. I have a problem with getting hit to the liver too much. I get dropped all the time. I'm keeping my hands up but I'm keeping them too high. What I'm trying to do is drop my right elbow in time to defend against the liver shot but it doesn't work. I would like to know if theres a system or set of techniques for defending the body while your also properly defending your head at the same time.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Some things I have kept for my instructional videos that I sell. I cover that topic thoroughly in my defence and counterpunching instructional video here - www.precisionstriking.ca/product/new-video-defense-and-counter-punching-instructional-video/

[@chemogang]

JT Van V Ok great to hear ! I'll probably buy it then gotta get some cash together

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Cool, overall you have to round your back and get those forearms in front of your body. then dip side to side. If you can visualize that it will help.

[@JohnDoe-zp7nj]

JT Van V Where did you get that shirt?

[@PrecisionBoxing]

stickandmove.co.uk

[@ko-kf2nu]

then why does ppl slip when throwing liver shot?

[@ryanlittlechilds]

Do you think it's ever smart to sacrifice speed for power? In this case, it seems to me that you could generate more power on the shovel hook if your elbow goes back a bit. Maybe it's smart to train both a static elbow and a more dynamic, loading up, type of punch?

[@AJweathersby]

Cocking back punches never gives you more power. I think the only boxing punches that get more power from any cocking back motion are overhands and wide hooks. But those kind of punches are fairly easy to block for most boxers even when those punches have sharp technique. So making them wide and powerful is more likely to get you countered than anything else. Unless, of course, you've already beaten the guy down and now you're just trying to finish him with a super punch. Otherwise, the rule of thumb for punches is to throw them in the way that makes contact the fastest. Power means nothing if you can't land a solid hit.

[@cuteboyvirat6879]

same thing i am thinking when punch coming from wide range can be more powerful to damage opponent

[@SPEC7RA]

Ryan Vancouver i saw someone on this comment section who made a very good point, keeping your elbow close allows for a more relaxed shoulder and thus more power and speed =)

[@billyjohnson2381]

But how can you get power with a liver shot without bringing your elbow out because the way your showing us is the left uppercut to the face but what about the left body shot to the liver Thanks

[@skip741x3]

Power on the liver shot comes from Driving the shot ,keeping the elbow in and using the hips to send it in.. Its the prescion of this shot and the drive behind it that makes it effective as a liver shot... You are likely thinking of the elbow out ,around the side type shot which can become a slapping motion if done carelessly..This type as shown here is more a Sticking motion,where it is Driven and directed into the liver area.
