CUBAN BOXING: HOW TO BOX FROM THE SQUARE STANCE

[@JoseDiaz-yl9sh]

Ur 💯 correct. Dad was born in 1953 and told me Russians came boxers and coaches n for boxing. Yes also to help the military. No wonder foot work looks very similar in Cuban n some Russian fighters. Thank you Coach Charles.

[@Charlessalbox]

Yes during the Russian - American missile crisis... 💯

[@alexrockstone9035]

They say good cuban boxers were long before the Revolution, but the Soviet coaches brought a System to cuban soil. Like in the USSR boxing in Cuba became a matter of deep studying of State institutions.

[@rockstartonyx]

Your Cuban boxing teaching has me killing it in sparring! Thank you

[@Charlessalbox]

Any time brother

[@johnmurphy7224]

He's a good coach. He demonstrates the skill & movement, which is lmportant. For Boxers good Charles your ideas are second to none. The Cuban Coach, 🥊

[@Charlessalbox]

Thanks John your words are motivational

[@vasasangjaas108]

Awesome ! I really like how you explained this concept. In soviet style boxing this is always used in warm up...but you showed more add on sequences. Very glad you showed this. And awesome teaching by you Sir. Thank you !

[@Charlessalbox]

Glad you liked it!

I definitely watch most of your videos everyday I really like how you break down what the movements or moves are specifically for and when best to use them your a brilliant teacher

[@ricardo.de123]

Very interesting techniques. I use a lot of lateral movement mainly to take a quick break or to reposition myself in the ring but never thought of attacking from it other than stepping in with a jab. Thanks

[@Charlessalbox]

Actually in the Square stance you only throw crosses for straights with both hands unlike the Jab Cross that the regular stances offer.

[@HEAVENTWA]

I appreciate how you explain every little detail.

[@Charlessalbox]

I appreciate that!

[@ignacionietoizquierdo7581]

Very valuable final disclaimer at the end of the video: drill these things with dedication to avoid becoming the next favourite moving heavy bag of the gym (everyone will want to spar you). Square stance is a topic on its own in combat sports, and this cuban foundation shown here can break your anchors, but it's a must to deeply STUDY it (with capital letters, yeah). I enjoyed it Charles, well done.

[@Charlessalbox]

Thanks brother... almost a lost technique due to the Orthodox and Southpaw stances taken as the standard!

[@sergioartenie5604]

Hey Coach, many thanks for you great content. Ever since I discovered the soviet and cuban boxing style I have been obsessed trying to grasp the key elements. Especially the contralateral movement going fwd was something that struck me as I was taught that this movement was “wrong”. They taught me to move ipsilateral going fwd and contralateral going backwards. My question now that I have so many options is: when to use what when sparring/fighting? Thanks!!

[@Charlessalbox]

The idea first is learn as many skills that work to a high level. The more you learn the better chance you have in confusing your opponent when you fight him. Deciding when to use them will depend on strategy but the square stance is good evasive lateral movement, also as the square stance has no Jab hand both punches are crosses and so it will be good when you have your opponent in the ropes. The square stance offers the chance to catch your opponent off guard when you attack moving forward from lateral movement.

What’s your advice if my coach hates me using Cuban style? I’m American 🇺🇸 and I’ve been tearing guys up in sparring with your teachings, but my coach hates the style, saying things like “you’re not a Cuban boxer” how would you suggest I handle this?

[@Charlessalbox]

Try to understand that a coach cannot determine your style of boxing. His job is only to advise on technique... No one taught Julio Cesar La Cruz to use that style - he was shown technique and then the boxer decides his preferred style.

interesting. That will take a lot of drilling. Thanks for posting.

[@chiefcleve1834]

That history lesson at the beginning was very interesting, the historical relationship between cuba and soviet during the cuban revolution. But i think it was also worth mentioning how Fidel Castro also banned cubans from boxing professionally for like 50 years. I can understand why tho, the footwork looks so elegant and cuban boxing looks really deadly. I can see why this style would be banned from the pro ring, its so deadly it should be illegal 😅😅

[@Charlessalbox]

Yes I think I will definitely touch on many more of these aspects later on alongside the prizefighting history of Cuban Boxers during the Pre - Castro in Cuba and America.

Thank you for the video Charles,I really enjoyed watching and learning . One thing I did notice that the rear foot appears to be pointing straightforward than pointing 90degress is this for ease of movement?

[@Charlessalbox]

Good question... actually for my stance, with respect to the front bearing, the angle I tend to use for my back foot is approximately 65-80° and during the course of movement, especially after a pivot, it might shift to anything between 50-90°.

Couple of questions. Does the square stance go with normal boxing stance or is it a style unto itself? Also how do you utilise the jab or lead hand lead foot punches? Many thanks.

[@Charlessalbox]

The square stance is a stance in itself... there are supposed to be 3 stances. In the Square stance you only have contralateral crosses

Hey bro, can you tell me, how do cubans spar? I mean intensity wise, and do they spar hard and if yes, how often? Thanks.

Surprisingly a lot harder than most people believe. Sparring is considerably hard between Cubans but they usually fight differently in the international setting because the rest of the world don't seem to move their feet as much!
