The basics of doing Boxing Mitt Work

Before you start holding the mitts it's important to know the proper form of the punches and what to look for as the fighter moves there feet and body

[@Jahida360]

Thank you I felt like it was so difficult to find a video like this.. my daughter is starting boxing and I wanted to help her at home with the mits...this was very helpful- Ty

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@youvebeenhacked9339]

It's one thing to be good with the gloves on, it's another to be good with the mitts. Thank you for this 💪.

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

No doubt!

59 year old here just trying to stay in shape , the footwork has always been a challenge for me , this video put things into perspective , thank you for posting it .

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

34 and im doing the same thing you are, just trying to stay in shape so I feel you. the footwork only gets better if you work footwork drills. you have to go somewhere after punching

[@MotivationX2013]

Well done. Thanks!

[@willwalsh4452]

Great video!

Decent , ill be looking at more of your videos 👍

[@davidfalchek3198]

Nice work, guys. I just got into boxing in my 50s and I think it is an outstanding workout. Thanks for the demo and advice. Much appreciated.

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

Thanks for watching. Yes boxing is a great workout for anybody at any age.

[@thephilosopher5799]

I used to have to do this for my older brother. Our technique was definitely off. 😂 Thanks for the video.

[@Notsotopofthefoodchain]

Thank you for the vid 🙏

[@ALHat22]

Snoop knows…notice that his explanations are concise, and to the point. Mitt work that has these main points maintains solid fundamentals as a boxer’s develops. Also, notice how he is checking the range hitting a bag or hitting mitts be mindful of the range of your opponent (bag or mitts). General rule is if you can touch them, they can touch you. All Good stuff here sold boxing!!

you are spot on my friend

i coach too, i have my guys throw both power jabs and speed jabs , power back hands and speed back hands ..the power jab gets turned over , the speed jab does not turn over, they are much faster than power jabs and power back hands , nice work

[@mr_phamtastic]

Super helpful! Thanks

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

No problem bro

[@tylercleveland4893]

The only video on KZbin that shows proper mitt work. Thank you. Lol

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

Glad to help

[@michboprouctions]

excellent, thank you for calling it a straight right punch and not a "cross"!!!!

[@SRR1213]

I hate that term. Only used by MMA fanboys who can't punch. You have a straight right and a straight left. A cross is a stupid name.

[@shani1656]

I think that’s a u.k thing

Thanks.

[@Nachbardesvertrauens]

You think a double end bag suit as alternative for pad work in some ways?

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

It's a great tool to use for reaction and timing. It's the lack off moving around the ring that's the problem

[@coachjohn2940]

Stance a lil to wide he’s having to reach way more than I’d have my fighter do ..but overall not to bad

[@pizzasteakphocheeseburgeri2965]

Coaches yell at me to “relax”. I droop my shoulders and they tell me I’m too intense 😫😫😫

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

I'll say this. You do want to be relaxed until right before impact. Check out the soviet boxing channel. They go over this in there style of boxing

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

Thanks for watching. Yes boxing is a great workout for anybody at any age.

[@unboxeddragon8246]

I have problem when I am hiting pads I get tired quickly but when I am do sparing it's not why is that

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

How fast paced Is your sparring vs your pad work

[@unboxeddragon8246]

@@rocketcityrocksboxingclub my style is soviet russian so my jab is so busy and I busy in sparing more than pad work I don't know why it's happened all the time

[@godessg1ock349]

great stuff, way too squared up on that right cross. Got to rock when he finishes his punching combos. can't settle in

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

yea! i know what you mean hes gotten alot better now over time

[@jadenwallace8758]

What’s squared up mean

[@squaaam2263]

@@jadenwallace8758 left shoulder lines up with right shoulder, fighter should have one shoulder further behind the other as this shows less of his body and provides more stability when the fighter is hit

[@quincyzebra1910]

Man looks like Larry Wheels 😅

[@primetimeboxingfitness4159]

On the cross I see the bacc foot lifting off the floor definitely losing power on the the cross

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

That is true for most everybody but this particular boxer showed up to the gym with power you cant teach or build. it was eye opening

[@hubertthefrog5822]

I want to make my friend a boxer,i dont have mitts but palms 😂

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

There is nothing wrong with using the palms it just needs to be more controlled by the boxer to have skill vs power. I do it all the time

[@Thunderfistboxing]

Knuckles should aim the center of the mitt and not the upper part...

[@rocketcityrocksboxingclub]

tell me about it. he hurts my wrist

[@Thunderfistboxing]

@@rocketcityrocksboxingclub Unfortunately when the boxers dont hitting properly the mitts destroying our wrists and our shoulders!I managed to save mine from injuries with calisthenics training after i quited fighting..

[@Whatthehell1999]

Right foot placement wasn’t there for a good half of the video

[@Whatthehell1999]

Both feet should be facing forward,look at the greats idk if it’s just his style but that’s not it at all chief
