Long form, hour long videos are the best for those that want to learn. That short stuff youtube algorithms keep pushing is destroying attention spans and how we consume information. When you teach I sit down and listen no matter how long it is for a simple reason, you provide VALUE and aren’t trying to sell a personality to brands and corporations. I still go back and watch the early videos just to make sure its engrained in my head forever

[@IAmValenwind]

Dude, Socrates said literacy was destroying attention spans: "For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem [275b] to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise." short form or long form, in the forum or on a phone's screen, "Jack and Jill" or "War and Peace", "Thug Notes" or "Masterpiece Theater", learning is still learning, and it is ALL beneficial to those who choose to learn. It is not that the short form is destroying attention spans, it is more suited to those who cannot focus on the long form- whether it is from ADHD making concentration difficult for the child, a busy family life that draws the young adult away, or the daily aches and pains of waking up distracting the thoughts of those getting their first grey hair... what matters is not the form that the education takes, but that it can reach the right ears, for what good is a long form video, no matter the quality, to a person with a neurological condition that will not permit him watch it? what good is a short form video, no matter the quality, to a person with an ego that will not permit him to watch it? neither do anyone any good, for they fall on the wrong ears... that which is limited by nature, and that which is limited by choice. ...and the same can be said for the reverse, as well.

[@adamj2683]

@@IAmValenwind They both have their place but platforms built around addicting consumers to short-form videos are destroying attention spans. This is just a fact. Look up the neuroscience on this. Context-switching constantly over and over and over and over and over is training the brain to become addicted to the dopamine spike and to seek it out endlessly. This is no where near the effect that books have. Books draw you in deeply and engage deeper activity in the brain compared to internet browsing or social media like tiktok/instagram/twitter etc.

[@ciaracet0716]

@@IAmValenwind i would argue that the shorter videos are made more so for entertainment and have very little if anything at all you can learn from it. Conversely, the videos you learn something from tend to be longer and more in depth. Lastly shorter videos (mainly shorts) do lower your attention span, its been proven.

[@JukemDrawles87]

Lead hook has always been my hardest punch to learn. This video is a great refresher

[@Bul1ytv]

Man the way you broke down Letting your body catch up to your arm in the technique was flawless I instantly felt a snappier hook as soon as I did just that. By far the best tutorial video I’ve watched on any subject through my years on KZbin you’re clearly a master of your craft and a great coach respect and thank you 🙏💪‼️✅

[@PrecisionBoxing]

I appreciate the kind words! It's awesome to hear you're improving! 🥊🥊🥊

[@matthewphilliplagasca4990]

Perfect timing

[@abhinavsixfaces]

100% Agree!!!

[@nullcheque]

Kinda scary how good the timing is. Love it.

[@toscanecoechea5105]

I could just cry with relief. I had so much pain in my shoulder and simultaneously no snap in my hook at all. I listened carefully to your explanation, especially the part about that stretch in the shoulder and after one day of working with it my shoulder doesn't hurt anymore and I can see a path to improvement. Thank you so much for this video! Love the boxing home workouts too.

[@lshowmeat]

Do shoulder shrugs like mike tyson

[@NPCPLATFORM]

Not going lie, you are top 2 coaches on KZbin, might be one cause you broke this down clear as hell for me

[@Lazarus2k4]

This is so helpful. Love the examples and details. I’m practicing for the VR game Thrill of the Fight 2 coming next week and this is super useful for me. 🎉

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Nice! That's a great game!

[@roaravi]

What I love about you Coach is that, you not just teach us the techniques but also educate us on the dynamics of boxing and the psychology in detail. Keep making long videos 🔥🔥🔥

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Thank you so much Avi!

[@brian96597]

Thank! You! I'm just a guy who uses KZbin as my coach to hit a heavy bag and I had no idea there was that kind of shoulder rotation. Just practiced it again today and it makes a world of difference. EVERYTHING feels more solid. Much appreciated!

@@PrecisionBoxing hi. Which level give access to virtuel padwork ?

[@bigjay24910]

Great video. I’ve been boxing for just under a year and I’ve noticed my shoulders are hurting more now because I’m hitting with proper technique and a lot more power. They were hurting when I first started but i got used to that. Like you say it takes a while for your body to adjust. I do the power drill you mentioned (George Foreman) I stand at close range head almost touching the bag with a more squared stance and rip the shots in. Its helped me to remove whipping the arms to deliver the punch.

[@joeytunez]

12:54 you are a really good teacher. This makes perfect sense.

[@Ponzy-km2bz]

I just started learning the hook yesterday and now this morning there's a detailed video on it by the guy I follow. I'm starting to think these happenings aren't just coincidence.

[@benjaminj.7897]

100 percent agreed on the longer video for learning - I subscribed for that. Love this way more than instant gratification videos. Keep it up!

[@kevinliao3657]

Love this. First lesson for many many sports: don't generate power from arms. Olympic weightlifting, volleyball spiking, tennis, ping pong, etc...

[@clarkparker4860]

I've been coaching a buddy of mine who's a beginner. He has a decent right hook, but absolutely struggles with the left hook. This makes so much more sense to me now. Thanks a lot! I'm so gonna steal this. 😄

[@mattyeow5635]

Thank you for this content! Sometimes people try and give me pointers on my hook but it's hard to really get into mechanics during the little gaps between padwork and drilling. I know shorter stuff is probably more attractive in terms of viewership, but the long format is really what I am looking for personally. Thanks again!

[@TheRockOffice]

Thank you so much for this very clear instruction video! I started going to a high intensity interval training workout that combines heavy bag with floor exercises, which is great fun and rather tough, but it doesn't allow for much time to get the technique right, so I've kind of been swinging all over the place. Thanks to you I hope I can soon go back to those water bags and show them who's the boss!

[@PrecisionBoxing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@KennethDuff-hj8ig]

Great video, i been boxing for some years and i still learned something i didn't know. I like these kind of videos. I don't care how long a video is , the point is to learn something and i liked how you explain it on detail piece by piece. I hope to see more from you like this. Thank you and God bless you and yours

I had trouble with my lead hook, and my coach finally had me do a 1, 2, 3 combo with just my body (arms hugging my chest), and I did the body rotation perfectly. Once I knew how it was supposed to feel it only took a little while to get it perfect with my hands.

I’m 215 pounds and I’m starting to develop a dad body due to a lack of working out and working a lot of extra hours at my job. Do you think you could get me back in shape? I boxed as a teenager but haven’t even wrapped my hands in years. I’d be starting at square 1. Tell me what you think please.

[@stevenrichards9272]

Thanks for the video. I tend to struggle with the right hook rather than the lead hook, but i am sure i can apply these same concepts.

Yes, exactly. The right hook is also about body rotation, a rear foot pivot helps.

I wish this video came out when I started boxing 3 years ago. I started noticing everything you mention now so my hooks look less atrocious. Going to practice more of the pivot and make sure my body moves first before the arm.

Today, I thought about that and was practice. But I think that hook just like fishhook!! And hard guard. Thank you!!
