Thank you so much, Grant Stevens. I'm a very dedicated boxer. I'm a Masters Boxer (with the utmost honesty and humility a 6X Champion:) that's 52 years young. I'm glad to have subscribed to your KZbin channel. Keeping a wider stance as you mentioned (reminds me of Dmitry Bivol's stance) is how I fight. The foundation always starts with technique! Personally, I'm a southpaw switch hitter and a strong advocate of excellent technique. For example, as you stated, unleashing our jabs and straights fast (straight line trajectory) and bringing them back fast to the same position- never dropping the hands. Ronald "Winky" Wright, Dmitry Bivol, and Andre "SOG" Ward are three of my biggest influences. Thank you. May my Mighty Lord Jesus Christ, always bless you, Champ.

Such an important statement "You need to enjoy the process. If everything is just a means to an end, you can't stick to it in that mind frame." Thanks for the videos mate, cheers!

[@stanley16fttapemeasure38]

This was great, please do hooks, upper cuts, slips, weaves, and kicks eventually

[@michaelrogersiii3858]

This is the kind of content we need! Technique is everything 🥊

[@grantstevensma]

💯

[@Ty-at-random]

Hey man I hardly ever comment on videos just wanted to drop in and say that I’m really enjoying your recent vids, I’ve been following you a few years now, it seems like your more consistent with uploading recently. You sparked the idea for me to practice the “eccentric” portions of my striking a few years back and seemed like my striking level up by leagues within some months. You really point out the micro nuances in this video too and your techniques are always impeccable. Big fan bro. All the way from Texas!

[@grantstevensma]

Thank you brother

[@NarutoShino818]

[@buen08]

Thanks!

[@tc-3]

Can't wait to catch some time to watch this! The content has been amazing lately, Grant! Keep it coming.

[@grantstevensma]

💪🏼

[@sumanm1343]

Was a great insight on the biomechanics of punches, really clarifies on the fundamentals of punching technique 🔥👏

[@PorkyOrpheos87]

Great video man, you should do one for kicking as well

[@gforce9596]

found you through Bioneer

[@jothidas369]

I was actually waiting for this video. Thanks for all the valuable knowledge master. Bring us more. All the more to get excited about martial arts training.

[@javiers4173]

Thank You Grant! Your speed is insane :)

[@LeeDaiYing]

I was just thinking about you and learning punching well and this wonderful video poped in. Thank you so much.

[@organicenergy5124]

Great video Grant! Would just love a bit more explanation on keeping the shoulders relaxed please?

[@grantstevensma]

My next video is all about relaxation 💪🏼

[@ignaciocarballo5638]

Thank you for this video grant! Very clear explanations and aplicable info.

[@teenoso4069]

Excellent explanation. Concave vs Convex (posture). I started with basic combos of 1-2 adding first head movement, then slips/rolls, parry, back and forth, side to side and gradually getting quicker. Just 30 mins a day for a month and you will build a serious foundation to springboard off.

[@grantstevensma]

That’s what it’s all about man. I don’t understand how people think there’s any secrets to it other than practice all the time

[@jimspo]

Your latest videos are very helpful and educational. Thank you very much for those. Good luck with your training and your coaching business

[@hinakhodiyara7883]

Love this tutorial. Great breakdown of the foundations of punching. Appreciate it. Have a Good One :)

[@raijingymnasticstricking]

This and the hollow body core training for martial arts is really a good constant reminder for my fundamentals. Keep this stuff coming! 💪🏾

[@JimParkGM]

Primary reason to retract your punches back to the chin area is to protect the chin area from counters right?

[@LionWarrior220]

Wow just wow, amazing video with so much beneficial knowledge on basic boxing techniques and footwork. I really think you are a great teacher, if you had some classes in real life i would pay to learn from you. Keep up the amazing content, please make more boxing tutorial videos? Kicking tutorial videos? Even any ground work aka wrestling jujitsu tutorials? Much love big bro, thanks again for all your efforts and hardwork in producing content for us ❤

[@lusitanus6504]

Very nice! Keep these videos coming! 🙂You are one of my biggest inspirations for training.

[@danielgarcia-benitez9603]

Just realised I wasn't holding my core tight enough. Thanks

[@horses2572]

Appreciate the video. Would be great to hear your thoughts on footwork drilling, and breathing fundamentals or drills in boxing, as well as building on the concepts from this video

[@grantstevensma]

Good ideas

[@chris8691]

The part when you was talking about not fully rotating into the punch and really only your lower body that’s moving is that causes your feet to slide back that was the exact issue I was having in class I always look at other people’s technique when we throw jab cross knee strike my feet is the only that slides out and for the past months I’ve been trying to figure out why it was doing that 😂 thanks grant for pointing that out and as soon as you did point that out I pause the video tried rotating the whole body as unit and I felt like had more control so that was amazing to

[@grantstevensma]

Great to hear it helped man

[@jonathanbiren6367]

Great video Grant! Could you make a similar video where you break down the basic body mechanics of roundhouse kicking and how it might differ from the body mechanics of punching?

[@grantstevensma]

Great idea man!

[@chadwithautism]

A good book I would recommend would be TVP by Rakesh Kumar Sondhi & Tommy Thompson. Barely anyone taught me shit about fundamentals and that book really helped with sharpening up mine.

[@MrFredd38]

It's like learning to play an instrument. You have to learn how to play slowly perfectly first, and then go faster.

[@jesswallace6226]

Please do a kicking version of this video.

[@nathanvinson7992]

I call it a hollow body, when you kinda "hunch" in the stance

[@patrickanderson5927]

I always enjoy learning the biomechanics of techniques. I find in martial art training alot of the time the instructor doesnt really focus n the foot placemement for each technique and I find that is always something missing that I think about.

[@grantstevensma]

Couldn’t agree more man and unfortunately I think that’s because the majority of instructors aren’t very good and have no idea about those nuances so they could never teach them

[@Yohan_33]

Great video but how do u check kicks with that stance with the weight being almost 50/50

[@grantstevensma]

By adjusting your stance according to the situation. You should never believe there is 'one' type of stance for all situations. This video is focussed on boxing techniques specifically in which this stance is best suited.

[@giddieman9]

Hi grant can u please tell me about your martial arts background

[@grantstevensma]

The style I formally did the longest for about a year or so was TKD, and then a little Wing Chun, but then after that I mainly just trained with other martial artists in a range of styles

[@unstoppabletigertalukan6710]

So i'm not training like an idiot when i shadowbox in slowmotion
