Do's and Don'ts of How To Move Your Feet in Boxing when Throwing the Jab

[@Sinekyre14]

HOW are we getting this gold content for free? HOW does this video not have a million views? I see amateurs doing this all the time. This advice is gold

[@rileyjohnson499]

This guy is the best hands down. He is being criminally suppressed! How can we help him?

[@barryb4407]

I know what you mean, you could try his boxing course on his website, you have to pay for that though but I brought it myself in the last black friday sale and honestly it's completely changed the way I throw every punch, I spent the rest of lockdown training them every day on all the micro details he taught but everyone of my punches have become over double power and up to 3x faster. Personally it's one of the best lessons I had for boxing and I boxed for years before and never got taught these things. (Sorry for the edit, I made a typo)

[@stevensonchambers5577]

A basic technical detail that often gets overlooked.

[@fighterscorner6787]

I was taught all these boxing moves what are wrong lol it just makes so much sense what you are saying Tom thank you once again

[@danny4086]

I was guilty of doing this and none of the trainers at my gym had pointed it out yet. Thanks coach the 20 different sporting analogies really drove it home 😅

My top 3 KZbin coaches Coach anthony, yankello & Marvin cook yall keep up with the great works

Agree with you sir... All three Coaches have the passion, love for the sport, willingness to share their knowledge and experience and a down to earth, no-nonsense, no BS approach... All three of these guys need to be proud of what they are doing... Coach Tom is the complete package, but I like the other two also.

[@franksomething1539]

Dam! That window in window selling shit is seriously smart! I dont think ive really seen that....

[@Geist452]

you do see a lot of great "fleet" fighters turn their toe after a jab to set up a switch style pivot, which lets you feint direction changes without a hitch.. so not always a mechanical error when you see it - ali was a good example of someone who wasn't always "getting away with it"... sometimes he was setting people up for different things. its wrong if your gunna do the wrong thing.. take big steps forward. But there isn't one style of movement when your at the edge of someone's range. you can still generate slight clearance with both feet (like a fencer does), chop down on your steps, and use that posture/ position to move around the target (like a boxer does). and if you want to punch back across the body with the rear hand, you slide your lead foot slightly out like a switch step. it implies an emphasis on lateral movement; and that movement can be as subtle, slight and detailed as the boxer who is preforming it. maybe its not something you can or should teach... but to say certain great fighters get away with it, in spite of doing it wrong...isn't right.

[@nachodecastro793]

Great job, Coach. It is so easy to forget about the fundamentals...

[@bulldogboxingclub]

Thank you for everything that you do. 👊🏼

Coach, I love the indepth teaching on every video and the passion you always put into it. You are the best boxing coach I ever had and never met! Keep up the great work.

[@trondheimsfjorden]

So basic yet so important. As usual, Tom does an excellent job explaining not only HOW but also WHY.

[@alexong2542]

Very subtle minor details that may affect one's boxing. A very informative video for all beginners who just picked up boxing and hoping to master its craft. "Steal the good stuff,leave the flaws alone" Aye, just like what Bruce Lee once said , "Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own" This coach is legit professional

[@johhnn143]

There’s too many trainers not enough teachers in boxing. Tom is a teacher and a great one too 🥊👍

[@cantsay5141]

We here we listing....speak on it coach.

[@eljefe3979]

I completely agree with you Coach. Thanks for video about this.

[@041882]

Thanks coach, I noticed an instant improvement in speed. One of my teachers kept telling me to throw the jab the wrong way. I check everything they tell me with you and it's helped me so much!

[@TJiscool1]

You need to tell them to hang their heads. Basic fundamentals must tell you that that is incorrect. You need to be able to throw your shots from a balanced base from all angles and forward, back and side to side. If you can't do this then something is wrong and needs to be addressed. Your coach is setting you up to fail.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

@@TJiscool1 There are enough trainers, but probably not enough TEACHERS out there. And what there are, they don't make very much money, so maybe that has something to do with it?. :/

[@leatherface7712]

@@PhoenixProdLLC I don't think it has to do anything with money for boxing trainers to desirely teach their students I think it has to do something with social media platforms that are destroying the true definitions are our sport boxing coaches today in this modern era rather look good on social media then rather passing the knowledge to the next gen and a lot of these new young cats today be bragging n bosing about how hard they hit a heavybag or how fast they are on the mitts they even blindfold themselves to hit cobra bag just like Ryan Garcia my mentor termite Watkins was trained under Kenny Weldon who was the last prospect of bill gore who train fighters like Willy pep bob foster Benny Leonard and this man Kenny Weldon always said it doesn't matter how fast u are or how hard u hit if u can't not move around in all 4 directions while your in your rhythm your half a fighter and it's the little bitty things that make u a great fighter and this sport needs to go back the old traditional ways because social media is going to destroy it

[@thatheat1914]

Jab is the most important move in boxing. Too fundamental, not to ignore.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

What a coincidence this video came up and I'll so glad it did, because I've been watching a Russian coach who advises that left foot cocked and locked on the jab because he said it's how you keep your balance on the one-two. I thought it was strange too because I'm a a former fencer, (don't nuke me! 😂), and yeah, toes straight ahead. I don't do that with Boxing though. I tried his method attacking a heavy bag and while it's kind of sturdy, a nagging thought worried me that my knee could get torqued. 😂 I'm a beginner just trying to figure things out and might be too tall for some of tar anyway. :) Thank you for putting this up, because it made the decision for me not to bother trying it anymore. Can't wait for Roys fight and I wish you both well.

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

@@gogibrcak81 I appreciate your reply and while there's nothing at all wrong being a "bro", but in my case it would be "sis". 😊

[@TorstenStett]

Heavyweight Chris McDonald (15-1, 14 KO's) used to pivot every time with his lead/jab foot. Darndest thing I ever saw. Looked smooth as WD40.

[@tasogare6598]

It is true for other striking martial arts as well. Ex Karate guy in our gym also does what Tom shows when he throws his right straight and jab; even though his stance is competely bladed meaning both his feet pointing sideways, whenever he throws jabs he kind of stomps his front foot facing the opponent. He throws right crosses excatly like Tom does. And he is insanely fast with his jabs and crosses. This is how he fights from long range,always bouncing.

[@elementsofthesolows4936]

Your content is amazing! You are a world class coach! Hip rule applies to Muay Thai kicks too!

[@christophermorgan6519]

Coach was on one this day 😂 it's like he can hear the haters and technique critics in his head 🗣️🤣

[@TJiscool1]

Joe Louis is perhaps the best textbook boxer I've seen. He had great fundamentals. Coach. Another great tutorial... I did not know that some people turn their toes when throwing the jab. That's crazy! Footwork is so, so important. You need to be balanced to be able to either throw or move at any given moment and if you are turning your toe it's not only an inhibitor but can lead to ligament damage if they gotta move quickly in a contrary direction. Thanks for putting it out there. Can we have more lessons on footwork? Coach, I wrote this before you brought up the nonsense about wide stance = more power! You are so correct and it's one of my bug bears too... SRL said it's all in the balance and you are stating the truth about shoulder width. It's all about the fundamentals and building on those fundamentals and building on basic body mechanics.... Actually, it's all about common sense!

[@semmywap2916]

I threw the jab turning my toe in and i wasn’t confident in throwing the double jab and even after 1-2s I’d be off balance. But I’m changing that today, thank you coach!

[@boxicofit]

[@coleashmore]

Fantastic advice! I am curious about how you feel about stepping with the jab. Should the step be right with the jab on impact? Or should the step come just slightly before the jab? I always hear trainers saying 1 or the other. Thanks!

[@kiwishbj1]

It also makes the power or killer hand/punch fall short of the distance to strike the TARGET/OPPONENT.

[@LongSurreal]

This was awesome! Please do more footwork videos for other punches. Should you rotate your lead foot for the lead hook?

[@HittokiriBatosai]

Love that you don't forget us southpaws 🥊

[@alikareem1191]

I saw The soviet boxers are turning the foot when they throwing the jab but they do it with bounce not on flat foot they never stop bouncing

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

That's true. They did a pendulm you're bounce. But I think they do teach to keep it cocked when you go to stick for the 1/2. There are videos on KZbin of a Russian coach. Best to let him explain it but I STILL think Tom is right on this. Hearing a round table of trainers talking about various systems and techniques, and each of their pov on them as well as why they do/don't recommend certain things.

[@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365]

Seems like a lot of thought and observation has gone into this clip. And i congratulate the efforts and insights. Some anatomy observations for safety, however: any connection of foot with ground, combined with rotation of femur, puts strain on menisci and collateral ligaments of knee, and risks tearing. Not sure of a solution
