Tip 1 - Move head off center line as you go in Tip 2 - Tight guard, chin tucked, shoulder up Tip 3 - Be aware of your range and don’t move in from too far Tip 4 - Use explosiveness to come in (be on balls of feet)

I think there was a bonus tip to also not always go in. Sometimes feint, be unpredictable as to when you're going to attack.

Thanks so much for this, Gabriel! Would you consider making a video on the use of rhythm in closing the distance to attack? You have partly covered the concept with the fake/feint method, but I think there is so much more - e.g. suddenly increasing the tempo, attacking on the half beat, incorporating rhythmic tactics into footwork training, etc. Would be so good to see it demonstrated and explained by a world-level pro like yourself!

Awesome video, been really curious on how to do this and also how to explain it to others. When is a good time to use different defensive techniques? For example, is it useful to cover up in the middle of the ring, or just on the ropes? I find myself often parrying an initial shot, then covering up to deal with follow up punches. Also, what is the correct way to cover up? I find myself with a headache post sparring due to blocking many shots this way. A video on defensive techniques would be very helpful!

Clever extra trick! Stand way out of range. Walk backwards with your guard up or show obvious weakness like leave your hands down. Entice them to come forward and attack! You must stand feet slightly narrow and on the balls of your feet. When their back foot leaves the floor and the front foot is planted it's your chance! Do a split step and leap off your back foot! You'll go all the way from out of range to punching range. For examples of this, watch Fedor fight Sylvia - he peels the lead hand and absolutely shot puts a hole in his head with the hook. Watch Namsaknoi teaching Sylvie douglas-ittu - he turns it into a badass foot sweep but honestly he could just elbow the crap out of you. Watch Mighty mouse knock out Joe Benavidez in one round- he jabs, hops back, and lands a flush 1-2.

I really appreciate your videos! Thank you! There are no boxing coaches near where I live, so I try to work drills from online content. I've been thinking about entering a charity match, but I've been hesitant. I appreciate your videos, because you break things down in a very understandable way, providing the level of physical detail that I need to execute. I feel that I can develop some real skills, and then I may try sparring with someone, to see if I feel I could safely participate in a charity match. I'm not completely untrained. I do have a blackbelt in Chung Do Kwan, but it is very different from boxing, so I really appreciate this breakdown. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with Jeff Chan, and I'm curious if you'd do some sort of breakdown with Tony Jeffries, who also offers some very good online content for boxing.

@Devi_Shammuramat2 жыл бұрын
Well done on the first point, I thought you didn't know it because of your hook one time - try the same thing [what I refer to as 'diagonal torso leverage']; when throwing a hook: punching diagonally through the target which is still in front of you (as opposed to it changing position off to the side somewhere). On the last point, I think the heel should raise AFTER the 'explosion' (which will help drop all the weight in).

Gabriel is a multiple times world champion not a keyboard coach. And that heel up explanation of his is accurate. I've used it in my own fights. Who are you?
@Devi_Shammuramat2 жыл бұрын
@@Iron-Bridge well he is an internet coach. On the 'keyboard coach' point: neglecting to help others when one can would actually be WORSE than making outright troll comments. So I'm far from meaning any disrespect, also on any of my past comments - if I did Not bother to post them then this could adversely affect the content creator's well-being. Perhaps I did Not explain it accurately enough, since the 'explosion' some may interpret as DURING. In any case lifting the heel more after [or during]; tho of course starting off on ball of the foot - perhaps it is the same thing, after all. But one UFC fighter I saw doing his back heel fully raised from the start and kind of 'hopping in' on both legs (with width / stance held the same): this would NOT be as powerful. it's difficult to tell which way Gabriel is intending without a demonstration.
@Devi_Shammuramat2 жыл бұрын
@@Iron-Bridge The heel raised should be an 'after effect' after having dropped the weight - this would be my interpretation of the method described by Jack Dempsey. As opposed to some; eg. JKD practitioners, and that UFC fighter I mentioned: starting off with back heel fully raised (hence more of a linear strike, as opposed to dropping weight into it).

I'm so happy that I saw this video today!! I have had many sparring sessions recently where I felt that I was just punching in the air with taller opponents, and I was definetly being a punching bag. The timing aspect (extended=vulnerable) is such a good tip. And it sounds so obvious when you say it, but I had not thought about being in "the zone", not too far not too close. Do you have any tips on combinations/footwork to get in close to your opponent, especially when they are bigger? Maybe there is a blindspot?
