Boxing Defensive Maneuvers and Body Shifting

[@jaguarstrikesagain7927]

Jack Dempsey said that before the sport became so popular, that the chief goal of boxing was to teach young men how to defend themselves.

[@giorgosandrigiannakis1375]

Yeah but then there were no gloves so the style was a lot different, later when gloves had been applied they made these defences that do not work outside so much.

[@damienholland8103]

Well yeah, the gloves are because it's so easy to break your hand on someone's skull. Dislocated knuckles, fractures, or what not. Not to mention wrist injuries.

[@smccowan7106]

@@giorgosandrigiannakis1375 lol ,dempsey was a gloved champ. Smh

[@giorgosandrigiannakis1375]

Yeah, i don't disagree with you but that doesn't mean that gloves didn't change the sport. Protecting your hand means a lot. That's why both in Boxing and MMA there was a rapid increase in injuries after gloves appeared in the sports. Now Dempsey was abviously good both in and without gloves.

[@damienholland8103]

I thought the induction of gloves reduces injuries in sports. That was the purpose of introducing them in MMA. Guess we'll agree to disagree.

[@TheTorrence11]

dont sleep on this dude he knows what hes talking about

[@mmanewz3018]

Lol.dats funny cuz i caughtvmyself yawning..(out of tiredness not boredoom)

[@iamchamp6814]

Experienced

[@rfrancoi]

Hell yeah.

[@djxneow8382]

Please let me know how can i find more videos of him

[@Wawinator]

This legend is teaching all of mayweathers defensive techniques. I tell you something it’s definitely effective!

[@DaveBoxing]

​@DODDYsimviation this dude didn't invent these techniques. Mayweather just perfected the fundamentals

[@alir.9894]

Much respect to this old man.

[@jameshutto3047]

Yeah hed probably kick the crap outta most folks

[@dongvermine]

Nope zero respect for this dusty old fogey LOL HE WOULD GET WHOP if he come into any gym

[@RamboMilk]

this is so old school and I love it lol

[@3Daver]

Don Familton and his son Dean have been in the game for decades. Super legit boxers and trainers.

[@dongvermine]

No. No no you’re not telling me this old man is anythen he is some dusty old fool

[@wreckoningday]

Great tips. I'm 40 yrs old and wanted to get into a martial art but have been drawn to boxing. It just seems so immediately effective and practical for self defense and condition yet still takes a lifetime to master

[@enfielddnepr]

EXACTLY this! I started at 43 (2 years ago) and still have to master the basics, which is not strange they say. What keeps me coming there is the respectfull and supporting athmosphere of the teacher and the group.

[@fredred5037]

no goofy kata choreography and unnecessary discipline.

[@UlisesBarrera]

Boxing is a sport, if you need to defend yourself out of the ring try a martial art.

[@martialway100]

Excellent Boxing coach and a great lesson, so thank you for uploading the video.

[@TimRobertshedgehogmarketing]

best fundamental boxing instruction i have seen on the internet. this is old school stuff. last time i boxed i was 48 and out of shape and did more than hold my own with guys half my age (sparring) because this was how i was trained. guys today are not taught this or other basics anymore. i don't get it. you must understand how to not get hit and how to perform basic footwork before you should ever be allowed to throw a punch in a gym. punching was the last thing i learned. it should be the last thing anyone learns. imho.

[@PhillyPugilist]

Great training. Not many left these days in boxing. This video is a classic gem.

[@Kevintu28]

Its actually called the shoulder roll floods version is the Philly shell the technique has been around since before the Queensberry rules used by the bare knuckle fighters ex. Jack Dempsey, charley burley, Henry Armstrong, joe gans, it was actually very common use by old school fighters

[@engine2truck6]

Yes, It is the Philly Shell. Been around a long time! And Mayweather doesn't use it all the time, in fact he's really good when he is in traditional orthodox stance as well. ...Sugar Ray Robinson, Gene Fulmer, and probably Carmen Basilio could probably beat Floyd, though.

[@7dayspking]

Not surprising as it's how a lot of untrained people will fight with the left hanging low awkwardly out in front and pulling away from punches turning their head and their shoulder. It's a lot more natural than thinking to pin your elbows to your ribcage and holding both hands back at your face.

[@thabangemmanuel2384]

much respect for this old man He rock a lot

[@simplyg100]

Your bad feeling on slipping inside is well founded and fully understandable. In boxing, there are certain ways out of danger; but in muay thai and or mma, the knees present much more danger for the fighter. It is only natural to express and educate the contrary alternative; the slip to the outside. Thank you for your insights.

[@DanielRamBeats]

These are awesome tips to practice, thanks!

[@Sentosist]

very good trainer and a very wise old timer man! more please

[@smackroscoe]

So much wisdom presented in such short time.

[@jaysboxingchannel6233]

always find myself coming back here to watch and listen to while at the gym or home and practice these moves in a mirror

[@MrTommywo]

Nice video. I really like several of the defensive moves that he shows. I plan to ask my boxing instructor about them at my next session.

[@ajjaxon2104]

what he taught about Archie Moore is very important

[@Hausofmilk]

I never thought in my life I would like this sport just by somebody I knew. I go everday to practice and it keeps my mind balanced.

[@mrdaflyguy]

So much knowledge,and easy to understand

[@howardh345]

Food for thought. good gonna come back to this.

[@hedley326]

I actually really like this guy. he reminds me of an older Clint Eastwood. Top Man

[@jesusneverexisted300]

If im not mistaken, this guy wrote a book way back in the 80's when i was a teenager. I bought the book and studied some of his techniques and learned about the shoulder roll and so many other techniques. This was way before there was a Floyd Mayweather. Roger was boxing doing this time but he never used the shoulder roll when he fought. I later started boxing myself in the amateur and this guys book gave me a foundation. I wish i still had this book or this guy's name so i can buy the book again. This guy is a boxing aficionado. Oh and judging by the quality of this film, i would say that he filmed this back during the early 80's probably around the time he published the book.

[@plays4gamer883]

I don't think that the book I'm going to present to you is the book this guy wrote. But there is a fairly popular book called "how to be an ass-whipping boxer" - Jay "Champ" Thomas. Thomas also thought in and teached the, today known as, Philly Shell, but calls it a stonewall defense. This book is very expensive, that's why I use the free version from the Internet Archive. Though I wish the get this book in my real hands one day, perhaps when I'm old enough to make some money.

[@thenameofthegame4037]

I like this, this guy knows his shit. Great video.

[@krimsonden4320]

Very nice video sir. Youre an amazing role model.

[@daviddiaz529]

I don't understand why people say Mayweather is a chickenshit boxer or how these techniques are awful. Why is receiving punishment so cool? Best defense is not to be there when a fist or leg is coming at you. These techniques a can and have been applied to kickboxing, MMA, and JUJITSU and have been proven to work. Top 2 examples AMRI MADANI, ANDERSON SILVA, and you may laugh, Jean Claude Van Dam

[@coribio]

David Diaz i agree that mayweather is an amazing fighter but if all boxer and mma fighters where to fight like him mma and boxing will be boring...his fight are boring period...if mayweather didin't trash talk a lot and handle him self the way he does i think people wont even bother watching his fights...

[@lew708]

+Edgardo Heredia Unfortunately, Mayweather is not into boxing to entertain; He's in it to WIN! To create a legacy, of which he has done. He is certainly going to go down as one of the greatest to do it simply because he does not go after or look for a knockout as much as he looks to outscore his opponent.... It IS a scoring sport and as in most sports, the best defense, most times, will come away with the win.

[@coribio]

you said"Mayweather is not into boxing to entertain" you should look at his interviews he sure like to use the words "exiting" and "entertaining' when he talks about his fight...i never discredit mayweather about his skills and legacy.. but lets not get it twisted his style of boxing is boring and is neither entertaining or exiting..period...

[@Mr786Addzy]

+David Diaz The truth is Floyd is a phenomenal boxer. People are too blind to realize his skill & art because they hate him so much. He's a true master because he truly defines boxing - "hit & not get hit" but even "boxing fans criticize him for "running". I mean if they knew anything they'd understand it's not "running" it's movement, evasion and distance;everything Floyd does in that ring is for a reason. His bad guy persona is what makes everybody despite him but I personally love it!

[@coribio]

the truth is no most people admit he is a skill boxer...but his fights are boring if the world of boxing decided to fight like him or his style was the standard way of boxing...I dun care if you love him hate him or admire him boxing will die...people will rather watch ggg vs ggg than mayweather vs mayweather...in boxing you should fight with the intent to hurt a man not with the intent to dodge and move and tap for 12 round...to mayweather is not about boxing is ab out business...

[@user-jz1lw1dw8p]

It was 4years ago. I was at Japan when I first saw this. Man...time flies. Love this stuff old school boxing

[@jamalydude]

damn this was nice, a few common ideas but also some great advice he threw in there I'm going to add this to my rep

[@LASuperboy]

i like watching these videos a lot more than some of the other crap on youtube. you can tell the old timer knows what he's talking about

[@Cloud-Radio]

its so cool to see boxing tricks.

[@theirradiatedgamer1280]

Actually very helpful video

[@scottmutley2627]

ahhh that crouching, someone did that to me one time, it was annoying af. I kept getting countered so I was very weary when throwing the punches, then I saw my trainer in the corner doing an uppercut motion saying (THROW AN UPPERCUT) and so I got a little closer put my jab hand in front of his face to cover his eye sight, I got in close and throw an uppercut, his reaction was priceless, I hit him on the nose and he started sneezing and shiz (im a southpaw he was orthodox) I dont recommend shoulder roll to people of opposite stances.

[@TheAngryCanadian]

Interesting good catch 👍

[@gussstavo]

So you got a punch in, good for you.... what a clown

[@larkhallman]

[@jaguarstrikesagain7927]

So even though some things may appear boring to the casual observer, they could prove invaluable in a self-defense scenario.

[@AmericanAnthony45]

My trainer just says to keep your hands up, use your elbows to block your body, and to palm, bob, and weave, none of this stuff. I cant argue with him, he trained Johny Ruiz to the WBO championship

[@robscott351]

Yes, I have the old video series, great stuff, recommend to any fighter!

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Crouching and exploding back w/punches Master was Mike Tyson. Made his career.

[@Pur3Argonian]

I was literally thinking the exact same thing haha

[@xXBeastfromdaEastXx]

Man i love using shoulder rolls and all that good stuff but when i switched to kickboxing it was almost impossible. After any good cross like that there is almost always a solid leg kick following right after. I had to adjust my game a little bit

[@zeusblack47]

Boxing is a Western martial art to a science. Less weapons makes it easier to master and a great addition to any other MA. The thing they got is how to punch most and MA(with glass jaws)don't punch properly and get knocked out by Palookas for years. Grappling is good but one one against multiple people(common knowledge). Boxers have good setups and Mayweather mastered that with this method. Don't knock off achievements take what Mayweather or any greats out there have and make it your own. Not everyone is invincible. Learning and keeping an open mind is key. Teach a boxer to counter a wrestler and BJJ and you will see something interesting going on or vice versa.

[@gregk199]

sooo true. My favourite quote for fighting and even survival "Improvise, Adapt and Overcome". If you can do this properly then you can beat anyone. I am a boxer, but I can think outside the box. People will be surprised with what you can do with boxing.

[@cooley209]

The new wave of arm chair idiot ladies and gentlemen......

[@gregk199]

believe what you wish. Sometimes people don't do boxing or less of it because they can't be bothered with the conditioning and fitness, so they look for flashy without going through pain.

[@JenkemSuperfan]

If anyone in the comments mention 'Mayweathers Techniques' you ain't talking about Floyd thats for sure. His Uncle and Father perfected the OG tactics and passed it on.

[@Silenthunter287]

Joe Frazier would prolly love this vid.

[@MazdaRX7007]

Lol, you're right, I know it's been 8 years, but one of the reasons he kept getting hit by foreman's right was because he kept slipping inside after the left jab instead of slipping out.

[@nazirahmadniazi2293]

💪🏼🥊

[@kev9385]

I always do one inside slip towards the end of the round when he’s tired and trow a left uppercut or overhand right, just hope that he only trows a jab 🤣

so great this is effective in street fight

[@user-ln8hq4wt8c]

+simpleng tao not really

[@CorporaMedicina]

+Bruce Wayne True..street fight is different ball game..watch Irish bare-knucle fights or research on pugilism techniques. For example to jab on the street you need to turn your fist vertical or with palm facing up and thumb to left (left jab)..thus you hit with the 2 knuckles for maximum damage...you dont need power for that but speed..

[@stfu7053]

simpleng tao Mexican style is what you need for a street fight, its not too technical

[@TheBruntje]

wow so actually Mayweather's defensive technique is called the crouch !!

[@pound4pound740]

It's called roll

[@BeattBoxing]

It's actually called the Philly shell

[@MaxTor2112]

Its called the pussyboy Floyd shell

[@2piedivideby3]

***** no dumb shit , Mayweather doesn't use the Philly shell. Look up the difference between Mayweather roll and the Philly she'll

[@MaxTor2112]

2piedivideby3​ Mayweather roll .... 😀😁😂😃 my ass .... Lol call or what you want, it's a shoulder roll. The shoulder roll tactic is used exclusively in the PHILLY SHELL. Looks like your the dumb ass neophyte pugilist.

[@erinmurphy6993]

All good stuff except the crouch does make you open to a kick to the leg. Of course you can always move into the kick and throw a short hook.
