I've just started teaching my girl , who is a little outta shape and I agree with u, u must make it fun to keep them interested, much thanks Sydney Australia.

[@MaxMax-th7uz]

Great simple advice ! I done boxing for about 6 years in my younger days and the trainer was excellent on the pads , another trainer who held the pads would , as you describe “ be like a brick wall “ and would hurt my wrists as I punched hard , and it really pissed me off ! I hate holding the pads for a hard puncher as I suffer from tennis elbow ! So some good tips , as I would just hold pads and let the other person smash them , and suffer in pain !

Great video! I’m a trainer that’s been using mitts for a while with my clients, but because many of my clients are middle-age soccer moms they like to punch more for fun and stress relief than to be good at it. Also their punches don’t carry a lot of force…so it’s easy for me. Now I work in a gym with a lot of young college guys that want me to be their pad partners and we are having a blast BUT they punch considerably harder lol. I’m alright catching punches with my right hand but dude…when they hit me with a left hook it feels like they are going to take my arm off. I would love for you to make a video emphasizing how to use the mitts safely on big hitters with our weak arms/hands. Thanks dude!

[@GlennHolmesLA]

Great advice! Southpaws are still a little tricky for me.

[@GlennHolmesLA]

cheers James, yeah try and get as much work in with your southpaws as you can mate

[@yomola]

Anything wrong with Orthodox mitts and Southpaw ‘boxer’ for real fights?

[@lynnelowe8461]

Thank you for this. I'm setting up classes next week and need to refresh my knowledge on how to teach this effectively. Very grateful.

[@GlennHolmesLA]

[@brndnwilks]

Good stuff. Just picked up the mitts, I'll incorporate all of this.

[@GlennHolmesLA]

love that, good stuff mate, hit me in the comments with any questions or vid requests, thx for watching 👊🏻👊🏻

[@peterdrake5156]

Excellent advice, Glenn. Just what I needed to hear. I am a PT rather than a boxing coach - I use pad work for stress relief and general fitness rather than to train a boxer but it is all relevant. Keep up the good work and thanks again!

[@GlennHolmesLA]

nice one Peter, good stuff mate

[@jeg8674]

Great collaboration !

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx mate 👊🏻👊🏻

[@coleashmore]

Great video! When teaching a Southpaw doesn’t standing in Orthodox make it more realistic? As they would be facing mostly orthodox boxers? I have noticed it is very difficult to get the cross to get full extension standing orthodox. Thanks for the great content!

[@GlennHolmesLA]

in terms of fighting yes, in terms of fitness, no. The reason being, when you mirror the stance it allows better range & form for the boxer

[@steliosmichael1860]

Great 👍 stuff

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx mate, in depth beginner guide to mittwork coming this week

THANKS GLENN..REALLY GOOD VIDEO...AS ALWAYS👍

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thanks mate 👊🏻

[@tonyh5756]

Loved this video mate!!!! I have just started coaching and have seen another coach using his rear pad to catch straight punches and lead pad for hooks and upper cuts! I have tried to emulate and have mastered the straight shots but I am wondering if you could.do a video 9n how to get the other shots flowing using this tecnique

[@GlennHolmesLA]

there's a vid on my channel about developing the lead hand that uses the lead pad for uppercut & hook, check that out, but if you can explain a bit more what you mean here, i'll def do a video on it mate, thanks for the feedback

[@aslanoran8888]

Great video help me alot thank you

[@GlennHolmesLA]

[@Therealathina]

Amazing explanation, ver clear and true 👌🏽

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thank you Athina

[@shooter3323]

Brilliant advice,

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx mate 👊🏻

[@yunhaimiaoran]

Hi Coach H, thanks a lot for those amazing videos! One question, how do you hold the pads when your opponent is much taller than you? If I am holding it high, my arm does not give proper resistance. Should I ask them to lower their stance to meet me where I am instead? Thanks a lot!

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thanks for watching & commenting 👊🏻 don’t ask them to lower their stance, it’s on you to keep the mitts at the right height for them, but yea with a taller client it can be harsh on the shoulders, try using paddles instead

[@yunhaimiaoran]

Great advise! Thanks a lot@@GlennHolmesLA

[@yunhaimiaoran]

Is it possible to have a video on how to properly hold paddles for taller clients? Any recommendations on which paddles to purchase? Thanks a lot@@GlennHolmesLA !

Great videos!

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx Ken mate, appreciate the feedback 👊🏻

[@saywhaaaat3305]

Any tips on working wit southpaws????

[@GlennHolmesLA]

mostly the same concepts apply, but if sparring then dominating with the lead foot, getting it outside the lead foot of opponent is key, also controlling the jab

[@tekkamanblade23]

Hi... new to boxing how does mits benefit the boxer ... reflexes?

[@GlennHolmesLA]

hello mate, welcome to the channel, thanks for your comment, check this video out that explains some of the benefits of mittwork for boxing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJOXaWuQlN57oZo

Awesome thank u. How I wish i can afford your online certification😂

[@GlennHolmesLA]

send me an email mate: [e-mail]

[@alphashia7848]

I catch the 1-2 with the same mit. Otherwise the jab is to one side and for the cross you turn to the other side. As if you are punching to people heads standing next to each other.

[@GlennHolmesLA]

yep, but check out note in the video on why that can be a option too

[@GlennHolmesLA]

the 3 ways to catch the 1,2 video

[@meridio4441]

Got a bit of headache holding mitts with a heavyweight guy, maybe im too tensed..

[@GlennHolmesLA]

yeah relax, give plenty of resistance, keep the combos simple, use footwork a lot & stay on your own strength training & hydration!

[@steliosmichael1860]

I’ve just passed my boxing 🥊 course last month.

[@GlennHolmesLA]

nice one mate The Boxing Fitness Academy?

[@TheJudecarmel]

Where did you get those mitts?

[@GlennHolmesLA]

they're my own mittts, they're available here mate: store.boxnburn.com/collections/equipment-accessories/products/glenn-holmes-dia-de-los-muertos-mitts

[@rugerREL07]

My issue is catching left hooks my elbow is killing me

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx for sharing mate, i’d love to see how you’re catching it, i’m launching assessment package soon, but check this video out, it might help a bit for now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnTXZGaJhZaqsK8si=RypdMK6HDyZqhUvz

[@cj32pull2]

I wish you would’ve said that “coaches/pad holders/trainers” should learn to hold pads from both sides (orthodox and southpaw)

[@GlennHolmesLA]

great point mate, i'll do a video just on that, thx for the feedback

[@sserunkumaswaibu7080]

wow

[@GlennHolmesLA]

thx mate

[@PaulGappyNorris]

The only comment I have is with ‘southpaw’ you need to swap to orthodox occasionally as they need to understand the difference in distance. 🤓

[@GlennHolmesLA]

if they’re goal is to compete yes

[@itsivan172]

For reals you got to enjoy using mitts

[@GlennHolmesLA]

💯 i love it
