Although it may seem simple enough, many fighters make mistakes while shadowboxing. Here are a few mistakes I see fighters make while performing shadowboxing. - Danny Castillo

Great vid from a very humble beast of a fighter.

[@iryfly]

Why would I want to learn anything striking wise from wrestlers

[@Gunbuddiesofficial]

What's your ranking on sharedog? You don't have one? Maybe that's why. You're literally talking down on a man that could box your face off. Just because it isn't Duke doesn't mean you can't learn something from him.

[@iryfly]

All I'm saying I would like to learn striking from a striker or someone with a striking base...obviously he is better and can outstrike me but thats not the point

[@Gunbuddiesofficial]

Yes that is the point, you learn from people better than you. Dude puts food on the table from breaking faces, if you think you can't learn from him you're a dumbass.

[@fullmetalfreedom]

Lee Kendall Truth. This game teaches not to underestimate anyone. Especially on the street.

[@uttamjeetsingh7451]

Jocky Rohnson you wouldn't have thought that cain would become the champ did you? bet u feel silly now

[@theastrotones2197]

Great video- one of my problems is not fully extending my arms when throwing punches- obviously a huge issue- looking to throw the cross too quickly shortens my jab- I also try to focus on my footwork during shadow boxing as well - stepping forward and bringing my back leg with me.

[@juandonjuanhan]

saw the onit sign and already trust this channel.

[@husseintheyemeni8297]

That was awesome!

[@Bigshackscott]

That T shirt is bloody awesome.

[@JusPenner69]

thanks danny castillo.

[@jsmiles28]

Danny Castillo seems like a cool instructor

[@Nicolas__-js1jm]

Great video!!! Thanks so much :D

[@TheLoobis]

This makes a lot of sense. My concern is hyper extending my elbow. Should I not follow through all the way with the punch?

[@TylerReads268]

finish pinky up

[@jakeman7800]

useful

[@muhammadjadwat6131]

my trainer said look at the chest

[@SL4US]

lmao all these mma guys teaching bullshit boxing leading all these kids astray😭😭

[@Bigskycountryjeep]

His left ear is really messed up

[@yamategaming9546]

Cauliflower ear. Its when a boxer has been hit multiple times around the ear region. Meaning this guy has experience to back up his teachings.

[@jangdi.]

Your answer is wrong. Cauliflower ears usually happen in BJJ or wrestling. Boxer rarely have that.

[@pound4pound740]

I usually look at an opponents shoulder not there eyes

[@antonvanderbatez6015]

same I don't look at the eyes. but the chest. (in sparring) in my first fight it was piercing eye contact. I ended up finishing him with a left body right head combo

[@Chroneperza]

+Machinedrum magnum dong?

[@stevegutierrez8679]

I usually look them right in the one eyed monster

[@MrPRow007]

Think about keeping thumbs touching your cheeks or forehead as an easy way to keep your hands up.Head movement before and after a combo.

[@peggy3532]

Lol those we're some lethal jabs he was throwing there

[@JonyxKenshin]

Peggy XD

[@Anfernee.Clarke]

I used to have problems with not looking forward while throwing my punches, I always look at my shadow or my reflection in the mirror. It's a hard habit to break lol xD

[@ghostmangeo1229]

bro I don't the same thing, but when I'm looking in the mirror I'm tweaking my technique. I'm pretty ocd about it lol..But I wouldn't worry to much about it of course when sparring or fighting that wouldn't happen. but that's what the mirrors are there for. Floyd/cotto/mosely/golovkin/ward etc... all do the same thing i believe it gets them better. Like watching film.. seeing you drop your hand when you jab, stuff like that

[@Furykidxxx]

+Real Natiiive if you're doing your shadow boxing in front of the mirror, use your reflection as an "opponent, try to hit "yourself" in the head and body. That works.

[@bdclegacy]

24 ppl dont know how to box

[@alldayeveryday20able]

I look awful shadowboxing, it's like someone with no rhythm trying to dance, but I'm still working on it

[@Noah-pc6wq]

Should you always clench your fist at the end of a punch in shadowboxing, or is it alright to keep your fists loose all throughout, especially if you're focusing more on flow and coordination?

[@YourMakingMeNervous]

I'm no trainer but in my opinion you should ideally throw things in as realistic a way as you can -- it's good to train your fists to clench at the right time every single time.

[@gg12345ification]

It depends abit if you are having a shadow boxning session to mostly improve speed in your hands you dont need to clench your fists.

[@mookeychase0907]

Great vid my dude...

[@snakeyscorpio1]

just watched a youtube vid of kell brook shadow boxing before this vid. Obv, striking is at a much higher level in boxing than mma. Just the way brook throws punches is light years ahead of this. Nonetheless, good pointers. Thanks.

[@Lozwave]

Might be a dumb question but heard that it puts terrible pressure on your elbow joint when it snaps straight etc, fast extension elbow lock (fast straight jab), is that true ? If so how does one avoid that when shadow boxing?

[@livefree1030]

Ronda Rousy is the greatest shadow boxer of all time.

[@normansmelser2807]

Lmao

[@shaunmax9232]

punching up is not done that way you need full extension on the hand. you should also turn the hands to get more power it also increases your parry chance of hooks coming over the shoulder. by punching in the fashion that he shows you will eat a hook as soon as your hand leave your guard position because your chin is not hidden behind the shoulder.

[@mactruck1156]

ON THIS EPISODE OF onnIT - Boxing techniques from a wrestler

[@SL4US]

[@420blzeitfgt8]

This dudes voice changed after the roids lol. No more USADA lets do some roids lololol

[@zebbyjimenez1187]

[@FRILLSTASHSESSIONS]

beautiful

[@SL4US]

you wanna learn boxing? go to a boxing gym!

[@fewhavestrength]

great video!

[@nextgen8888]

Thanks Danny.

[@dustin9102]

My Muay Thai & Boxing coach taught me to keep my eyes on their chin. Seems to work well for me.

[@rickkyylavette]

that's what my boxing coach tells me

[@dipbar1824]

everyone teaching others..you can't even throw a punch. You are throwing punches at forhead hight ..

[@YourMakingMeNervous]

if you are shorter than your opponent you may have to throw upward.

[@dipbar1824]

YourMakingMeNervous wow really , thanks for the info!yeah I am ironical

[@dipbar1824]

YourMakingMeNervous you are right they do , but just like you they are stupid morons . Keep being postive and smiling baby

[@YourMakingMeNervous]

Dip Bar :^)

[@marcoreus6606]

Dip Bar totally*

[@RMMaryport]

Look at the state of his back foot

[@Theemightyone]

Ricky McKenzie he is lifting his foot off the ground when he is throwing that right. This results in loss of power.

[@Milan_Smidt]

Your eyelashes are simply fabulous.

[@geovanycampos8801]

At 0:21 seconds he reveals he has issues with shadows lol

[@stevegutierrez8679]

a shadow fucked him when he was a kid...

[@Feedmeakitten]

It's a Jungian thing...hard to face your shadow

[@usamabaloch1563]

i am boxer who fights , believe me he doesn't know how to throw a punch , he is one of those guys you find in a fitness gym not in boxing gym , he cannot even throw the hook , and please don't punch that high , just look at him , so stupid , my sincere advise to all aspiring boxers is to not watch this video

[@bretto3952]

Usama Baloch wtf was he doing with his "left hook". Absolutely zero torque or movement at all from the hips.
