[@ironsandwich739]

Ive trained in the past some but your classes and teachings are lightyears past what i learned. Its fast to process and learn because you explain the fundamentals perfectly

[@TrueBoxerStance]

Much appreciated, I’m happy to hear you enjoy them, even with all of your experiences 🙏

[@bengrunde]

Aligning boxer stance behind the jab is such great guidance, to me it validates the claim that it's the most important punch. Balanced use of the jab for protection, as well as to open attack. I'm gonna practice this as a top fundamental of the game, thank you Marvin. You're sharp!

[@timothyodaniell9119]

I keep coming back to this jab tutorial over and over again. True boxing stance and technique postulated here. This is not what I want to do. But need to do. I keep coming back to this to keep me honest. Melvin is the voice of wisdom and true boxing form and technique!

[@ROCKSOLID2008]

My coaches are former Pro Heavyweight and light weight boxers. My coach that is a heavyweight fought Povetkin and Tommy Morrison. They have always taught me to step into my jab and i will continue to do that. If someone is trying to rush in there is no need to step in u can just throw it. But this is the only time i have ever disagreed with Marvin. If u are throwing that jab to be offensive u better step into it especially if u dont have the reach advantage. If u using it more so as a defense to keep people away u aint gotta step into it.

[@Switcheroo1]

Lol He also said that u shouldn’t move your head off the jab, and I’m like uhhh… eventually someone is just gonna parry that jab and hit u with a nasty lead hook if u don’t implement some type of head movement in your approach

[@JayteeMoney7]

What he teaches is perfect fundamentals, so watching him will always remind you that you have something to work on.

[@ManofOneGod]

Can tell you how much I appreciate this video. I have been doing muay thai, kickboxing, mma for years and never seen anyone explain it this well. This completely changed my striking. Thank you.

[@WolframtheBlessed3499]

This man is SOOOOOOO under rated in his teaching. I was so confused about 20 digferent jabs that i was taught when deep down inside i felt that it was the same damn jab but applied from different angles or with different pressures. This video clsrifies so much. Thank you.

[@hellrordft8633]

The best thing in 2020 is this channel being active again, thank you so much

[@Hans_Hamon]

This lesson was phenomenal. I have been a mixed martial artist of a dozen various disciplines for over thirty-five years. Nonetheless, this was eye opening. Certainly, there is always something more to learn. Thank you so much.

[@payperplane_pilot]

i always felt the same way there’s only ONE true jab, and once you perfect it, you can apply the fundamentals from different angles and level shifts. this is why i respect you compared to other coaches on youtube because you know what you’re talking about. not to discredit them, but you can tell you speak from experience cus I felt it in one of your other jab videos I think. I had a hunch on something, and you happened to mention it which made everything click. respect

[@brotherman8991]

Sending the Jab back keeping the opponent mindful of his defense rather than his comfort in offensive game makes perfect sense thanks for the explanation.

[@alexf8621]

Your old videos helped me so much when I got my first bag. Glad to see the channel making a comeback! Great teacher and hope to come to a class one day. Stay strong and healthy Mighty Marvin!

[@TrueBoxerStance]

I appreciate the long time fans, Alex. Thank you. You as well 🙏

[@AverageGabriel]

Just like the apple analogy, I learned the same principal in an old 80s boxing anime, "Hajime No Ippo". He catches falling leaves from a tree with each punch focused on that grab and rechamber, following perfect form, the power devolopes itself overtime. A good punch must come back in perfect form with the same throwing speed. Glad I found your channel! Good stuff and thank you for sharing it.

[@meaningfulmindfulness15]

I have to agree with many other people that you've been a wonderful teacher, you've been helping me understand myself more in the mistakes I make while adjusting to a boxing mindset. The struggle transitioning from my wrestling muscle memory into striking has been tough but you're making it easier, I'm thankful you've decided to return. Your knowledge is grand and golden, and I dig it with 10,000 shovels. 🥊🤝

[@jameslyons6655]

What you don’t lose you don’t go looking for. That’s worth the price of admission right there. You need to view this video multiple times to digest everything in it. Killing the game, good job Coach.

Hey man I want to thank you. I'm a old taekwondo enthusiast. And after watching your video, I found that my sliding moves. All my weight was up on the ball of my toe and like you said I was completely off balance. I train alone so it's hard to catch anything that I'm doing wrong so I just want to thank you again

[@umarwaru3668]

this is exactly what I'm going through at my gym, my coach teaches me to pivot on the hook and bring my foot out on the jab, but after discovering your vids I train alone at home to master the true boxer's stance.

[@MyThoughtsDontBelong2U]

Bro every coach has pros and cons. They all will teach different techniques and honestly they're not all wrong just because they're different. Alot of it depends on your build, athleticism and style. Your probably getter off with a coach in a gym. Do some sparring against formidable guys and if it ain't working for you switch trainers. KZbin ain't a boxing school. It takes real experience

[@MyThoughtsDontBelong2U]

I can literally explain to you why you would do the opposite of what this guys teaching in certain situations. And he's not wrong. Its a science bro

[@MyThoughtsDontBelong2U]

This guy is very intelligent and knows his boxing im just trying to tell you alot of teachers will teach you different things and just because they are different don't mean they're wrong.

[@Vinnyygo]

This dude is such a good fuckin boxing instructor man, making it all really simple to understand, especially that balance thing, don't gotta look for what you don't lose is just so perfect for explaining the importance of maintaining balance in your striking and is something I can keep in my head going forward while I practice shit so I can catch myself making that mistake and figure out how to correct it on my own.

@King Papi thanks bro I truly appreciate that

[@n3ddn3dd24]

PURE GOLD, it really make sense, I remember having a sparring with a guy that was pin point accurate with his jab, I wasn't hurt, for us in the gym a sparring is just a game of speed and technique, there's no weight or power behind the punches, no looking to hurt each other but I was kinda pissed with myself for being hit on the head every time, it was frustrating to say the least and the coach told me "You have a mouthful of fist, whatcha gon' do about it? fire back kid!" and I started this, trying to circle around to the best of my limited ability and try to shot at least 2 of my own for every 1 of his jabs, it was really fun, I didn't land as many has he did, but I manage to slow down his offensive with volume of fire, lateral movement, and slowly closing the gap to work the body, still got nailed tho XD Looking forward to the end of the quarantine to go back to the gym and apply all this knowledge. Thank you kindly!

[@bogdanmarinasi7315]

These things are very good advices. I training to be a better boxer and you help me a lot. I and my coach watch you from Romania! Thank you so much!

[@50StichesSteel]

Marvin, could you go over distance measure with us? How can we get around our opponent knowing how far we can jab, getting through that distance without over extending, while not getting hit? Your videos are top notch

[@wabbagaming2184]

i mean in a way this video covers it... Use your jab lol. Its also a range finder. I was always taught to double and triple up on jabs partly so you always know where your range is. Try to stay within a step of the pocket so you can slip in and out of striking range. You should be able to comfortably throw your lead jab without using much energy. Its like a walking cane for the blind, just keep that feeler when you arent sure. When you feel like you are getting your opponents timing and movement read (like r2 or r3) you can focus more on landing combinations, if stuff isnt hitting go back to range finding.

Marvin, I'm sure in one of your previous videos you said about how the jab stretches the inside of the arm as opposed to the outside.
