Boxing: how to not be afraid of counter-punches

Alexey Frolov answers a very common question from many beginners: how to not be scared of opponents punches? About the coach - boxfr.ru/?page_...

[@Dmvgold1995]

I’m American. But this channel is a hidden gem. Thank you for explaining in English. There are a lot of helpful tips here.

[@xxx-nb3fq]

..and their boxing school it is one of the best.

[@RT-ig5cs]

Who cares you're American

[@Just_a_Reflection]

Yes. I have borrowed so much from Coach Frolov. The attention to body mechanics that Russian-Cuban trainers teach is amazing.

In over 20 years of training I must admit I‘m humbled by your level of technical appreciation-it’s intimidating and informative at the same time. I can see why Russian fighters are dominating boxing more than ever before. Growing up in Australia there was a Russian coach who would spend countless hours on a small yet significant aspect of boxing. I enjoy this channel and thank you for sharing.

[@elunclesamprz5801]

I've seen your videos there very informative, one thing i learned very quick as an amateaur boxer is that its way easier said than done all this counter punches and moves we teach dont happen in slow motion they happen in a split second its very important that once you learn fundamentals you practice by sparring, my trainor Kenny Weldon R.I.P. from Houston Tx once told me the day you step in a ring not being afraid was the day you were going to get knocked out, Mohammed Ali would step inside the ring scared to death blood pressure super high that doctors couldn't believe he was alive, Ali would use being scared to his advantage, when your scared your instincts,reflexes,reaction your quickness, your scences go up 3×all of that will help you not to get hit,but to counter with knock out punch,being scared every time he got inside the ring made Mohammed Ali TheGreatestOfAllTime

[@djaydon3062]

WOOOWWW WORDS OF WISDOMMMM

[@music4thedeaf]

Thats arguable. Everyone is different. Being calm has always been the mark of a warrior. That gift of fear bs is propaganda

[@elunclesamprz5801]

@Moneyxl00 sir im starting to like you even more, your right about one thing thier is such a peace that does exist among the chaos, BUT!!!!!! always teach your young fighters not to step inside a fighting facilitie too too complacent,and never ever go inside with cockey attitude, and never underestimate your opponent, but I've watched you videos they have a lot of good information

[@elunclesamprz5801]

@@music4thedeaf hey Andy ive seen lots of warriors go down in my time, just don't go in thier to cocky man, you'll get your ass knocked out, the times i went up a fighting ring full of myself, came down bleeding from the nose, bleeding from the mouth,cut from the left eye, 'Hecho Mole' vato 🤕

[@melvic2043]

I am no boxer by all means but I find your theory is a little hard to comprehend. I find that if you are scared before or when you fight, you’ll lose 100%. You can’t see punches coming, your body can’t function properly… etc and it’s the same for being angry too. You need to be composed and calm. If you are so composed and calm as if you know you will win then your body will function properly. Please don’t confuse this with being cocky as they are absolutely 2 different things. It’s like the time you train/spar with your friends. You don’t feel scared at all and your mind and body are much more relaxed and you can see punches coming clearly and you can counter attack effectively as compared to when you are in a real fight on the street in which you feel nervous and you tend to forget what your have learnt. However if you practiced enough, those moves become instinct although the nervous feeling is still there.

[@Samual_33]

Mr frolov thank you for sharing your knowledge openly and without cost on here it is appreciated and well worth paying for in truth.

[@lambda494]

This is some deep stuff, not just for boxing, but for life. Throwing a punch with fear weakens it

[@BiggieSmalls946]

god bless this channel. i wish there was this level of boxing coaching in america

[@alexong2542]

High volume punches and infighting are counter puncher's kryptonite. Throw high volume combinations like how Mike Tyson and Manny pacquiao did, and smother them like how Roberto Duran and Hank Armstrong and unleash hell on the inside

[@kencannon1897]

So much game in this video. Enormous thanks to you, gentlemen.

[@kiowhatta1]

I was reassured when you did the water bottle video and explained that preparing and re-enforcing technique by moving in slow motion as this is something I‘ve learnt myself and is very counter intuitive especially training young guys. I spend the first 30 seconds of my 3 min rounds perfecting combo’s in slow motion then adding speed and power.

[@Cynry]

You probably moved passed this comment since you posted it, but you're damn right! I come from taichichuan, where going slow to train is the norm, and I am fascinated seeing similar moves from this master boxer. But it makes sense, even a simple punch requires sending signals to nerves all over the body in a precisely synchronized manner. If you never slow down, you're only ever able to feel so much, because all this signaling happens in 1/10th of a second. If you do slow down, suddenly you're getting 2 seconds to feel the same motion, which means more time to process and become conscious of the mechanisms, and thus giving you a better opportunity to make progress in that area. I believe that's why the distinction between external and internal martial arts exists in Chinese tradition. External means you're focusing on the actual fighting, internal means you're focusing on biomechanics. Best results will come from doing both of course, which is what we're seeing on this channel and what makes it so great, imo.

[@Cynry]

I don't know, man. It would deserve it for sure, but it's not flashy, it doesn't promise incredible results in 2 weeks, just good old sound technique and practice. When I see the popular martial content on youtube nowadays, I fear most would be bored by this kind of content, even though it's pure gold for the technical nerds (which I definitely am, no diss here)

[@EzekielDBarrett]

@@Cynry people know the truth. Just needs to hit the algorithm. There's a lifetime of Russian boxing here. Petr Yan wins a fight, they release a video at that time.. Everything comes out in the wash

[@EzekielDBarrett]

@@Cynry this is the type of channel that all of a sudden could have a vid hot in 5 years.. but it's inevitable if they keep it up. Authenticity is what we're all looking for. (I've taken 15 Muay Thai classes, and 40 jiujitsu..I'm a child, but I still see)

[@Cynry]

@@EzekielDBarrett They deserve the success, we agree on that! You know about Sylvie's channel? She does Muay Thai, and published some training sessions with old thai masters, you'll find the same technical depth if that's what you're after. Cheers!

I love watching Coach Alexey's videos, very informative and instructional. I can see why legendary Mexican trainer Nacho Beristain went and studied the Cuban and Russian styles, you can see that high guard European technical style that Finito Lopez and Juan Manuel Marquez used, but with alot of leverage and power behind the punches. Like poetry in motion. Amazing to watch!

The most counter of a jab is with a jab . If the counter Comes as a jab then is it not effectiv. I dont like this style. He is definitely a good Coach but not the best. The footwork is also a problem. The Style is good for boxer under 20 Fights. But after 20 Fights is an other Level. If you do this more than 2 Times in a fight, so they will know that.
