Vasyl Lomachenko | Boxing Footwork and Tactics

[@jordanleonard6540]

This is some of the best tactical/strategic boxing knowledge I've ever been gifted. It reminds me of so many other fight IQ lessons I've seen or read. The Tao of JKD goes into the beats or breaking rythm like this, but seeing the footwork and linking it back in my head to how Lomachenko fights is so helpful for studying to be a better boxer. Seriously, thanks!

[@theultimatesuhak]

I generally really like this channel and have learned a couple of things from it, but this has nothing to do with Lomachenko specifically and it's not true that he does what everyone does, but better. Actual Lomachenko stuff I've picked up from other sources: He's not a natural southpaw - he stands like that to have a more equal power distribution in both hands or something. I've never tried that. He doesn't just throw some punches and change angles. He always secures the superior position before attacking - like a bjj fighter. He throws lots of light punches. This makes the opponent feel like his punches are not dangerous, so they square up a bit in double guard and have less vision. I've actually tried that in sparring. Works even better against amatuers, cause they usually either throw wild punches or just use the double guard. Once they've squared up, you can attack quite easily. If the opponent is covering his head too tightly, Lomachenko slaps his hand down and then punches into the opening (you have to slap quite hard). He also often throws a couple of light punches, leaves the last one hanging in front of the opponent's eyes for a second and then changes the position - when the opponent can't see him. If they try to feel him out with an extended front arm, he slaps that arm down and throws an overhand. If the opponent tries to close the distance and clinch, so Lomachenko can't punch any more, he puts his forearm on the opponents neck and then circles around him. I've tried all of the above (apart from the southpaw thing) and can definitely recommend. It's all about securing the superior position in order to dismantle your opponent rather than relying on your timing. It's shown in some other videos on YT. There's even one with Lomachenko showing these himself.

Great Information. I couldnt find the Video Where he is showing his Art like you said

great summation of some of his main tactics! I've been nerding out on his technique breakdown vids on youtube and I think I've seen every one. You boiled it down nicely

[@CKpremium1992]

Man this was a great post. Thanks a lot bro, when I discovered Loma he immediately became my favorite fighter of all time and I study him quite a bit and try to add what he does into my game (obviously no where close to his level and what he does is easier said then done lol). But your explanation in detail was great, I appreciate it.

[@hunzo4432]

This is so helpful thank you

I gotta be honest, in the last couple months your videos have been amazing premium content

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Jeremy AMG I really appreciate your feedback!

JT Van V any chance we can get an advanced angles video on same stance match up (Lomachenko vs Gary Russel Jr). or any old videos that i have missed from way back (been a sub for a long time)

JT Van V Do Do a video on Andre ward's defense. Specifically his head movement.

[@Jesusx23x]

couldn't have clicked on this video any faster appreciate you taking the time to finally do this man.

[@GabLam0]

Hey JT! Would these tactics works only if both fighters are orthodox or southpaw? Because I guess it would always be stepping into the strong hand...unless you carefully dodge it?

Man I've been watching sooo many of your videos lately. I not a boxer, I'm a Jiu-Jitsu player but I love boxing, I appreciate all the complexities and possibilities of it. I find that Lomachenko has invigorating my interest in boxing so much that I'm seriously thinking about taking up boxing now at 40. I find your boxing instructions and technique breakdowns amazing and really easy to follow. Thanks for such great content.

[@BassForever44]

Same here. I do kickboxing, but I keep coming to check his videos because they are very well made and explained.

[@canadiancyborg5585]

Very thankful you did this one, as a southpaw myself.. I've been trying to get an understanding of Vasyls footwork. Having you go through it with great detail and years of wisdom did me wonders. I definitely intend to rewatch a few times, thanks coach. PS. I can tell your knowledge and conceptual grasp is growing still because your delivery is phenomenal. Much love

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+Nick Appelman I appreciate that Nick!

[@ionicguy4919]

"But anyways you're not going against Lomachenko" Be Campbell watching this for tips. Sweat intensifies.

[@masterfireworks1734]

I am doing Kung Fu for 8 years and my master teaches us pretty much boxing with sparring since 2 years, because foot work exploits a lot of power in the punches. The full body workouts, coordination and drills are nice. Its always our homework to practice and to develop the combinations. Also shadow boxing is a must. For me it means to be a complete fighter, if you are open minded and ready to learn and to execute what i have learned.

[@minecraftotalwar]

Lomachenko is the best example of what a good JKD fighter could be.

[@jpesmar]

This is amazing. Thank you so much so this video. What Lomachenko does is extremely simple, in theory. No one could've explained better than JT, it's not that other fighters don't know how to do it, how to mix it up, it's just that it is extremely hard to do it facing pro fighters who also happen to know those things, and that are more than willing to make you pay at the slightest mistake. I guess that kind of timing and ring knowledge is what comes naturally after almost 400 amateur fights.

[@nasseem2747]

Dude I just want to tell you, not sure if you'll even read this, but about 7 years ago I started watching your videos, even bought your video that you had ( I believe it was on footwork) But you have helped me develop a huge love for this sport, and my only workout routine has become boxing. Just want to thank you for all the awesome videos.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+nasseem isho thank you for all your support!

[@johnrose8817]

thank you so much for posting this. what an incredible athlete he is!

[@bobnot24]

What he will do is leave the glove hanging in the middle of the combination, to block the visibility, skip and finish it from another angle. I would like to see analysis on the risks, benefits and consequences of this.

[@aleksapetrovic7088]

Good eye, i need to know the risks as well

[@askarakhanov35]

Folks, pls do delineate difference between good coach and professional boxer. One could be a good coach but not have a fight of his life. On the other hand, one could be a champion but have little to none ability or skill for teaching boxing. This guys teaches very good.

We need to create a 50/50 clone of Roberto Duran and Lomachenko, it would be the perfect boxer.

[@roncon1180]

He existed already. His name is Orlando Canizales. This guy did everything loma does, plus had power on both hands. Loma fans think loma is something special that no one has seen before, but boxing fans know their history and know this was done 30 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDKpHVmr91-eqs

[@dannywas8212]

@@roncon1180 Great video, I've never heard of him but I'm definitely going to study his fights

[@JustDontMove111]

@@roncon1180 You sound like a hater. I think you will find Lomachenko has taken a little piece from many of the great fighters. From Canizales it seems like he has taken some of his movement but Loma has way better angles and gets his punches off much better, he took Canizales footwork and perfected it. Watch a video by Lee Wylie on Lomachenko on you tube that he made a month or 2 ago, i think you will like it ;)

[@roncon1180]

ThEmAtRiX you sound like a fan boy. I think you’ll find that canizales was a far better boxer than loma. His footwork opened up better angles, and he was more effective. Loma didn’t perfect it, he tried to imitate it, but he falls short of exploiting those angles. Loma likes to show off that footwork but does nothing besides dance. And he doesn’t show any footwork when he’s on the back foot. He’s lost in that situation.Canizales didn’t show off, that was literally only serving one purpose, to create an angle and land heavy, effective combinations, whether he was being the aggressor or fighting on the back foot.

[@JustDontMove111]

@@roncon1180 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :) Did you watch the Lee Wylie video of how he uses skills and tricks from all the greats? It's like he is all of them put into one :)

[@ksharky888]

the difference is his insteps cover so much space under such a short amount of time
