"Put you're head where you want your oponent to punch and slip" is wat i got from this video. I like this, respect. And this video goes perfect with the "how to see punches coming" video

[@stallyonzpapi7973]

wdym?

[@hanpierhan1658]

@@stallyonzpapi7973 you intentionally put your head on where you want your opponent to punch. This means you're already anticipating that punch. Once that punch is thrown, you can easily slip it and throw a counter punch.

[@kudojay1840]

To see punches coming look at the opponents shoulder with the corner of your eye and if it moves even slightly than u should slip cuz they’ll most likely punch

[@Truthlight403]

Very true

[@mikkey112]

Some people make it more complicated than it should be. You made this very simple to grasp. Thanks!

[@ericmorrow811]

I know this is old as hell, but this video was really helpful. As are all of them really. You're very articulate and you can feel the passion you have for boxing through these, and your write up articles on your website. Such detail, very passion, much wow.

[@expertboxing]

Thank you, Eric. I appreciate the kind words.

[@alexrami4234]

thank you mister. I've been training like for two year and my coach never tells us things of this kind. i have learned a lot with u in 10 minutes...

[@TheRealSpud93]

I've watched multiple videos on this but this is the first that really broke it down and made it clear. Good job and thanks a lot !

[@Docrocks77]

Thank you very much. You are a very good teacher! subscribed and liked

[@F4mwp]

Amazing! THE first 4 vídeos I've watched from this guy and they're all amazing. Simple conceptual explanations of boxing

[@ZakuZaku18]

Wow, this vid is genius! Awesome explanation!

[@BestFightScenes1]

Simplicity makes excellence, and so does your video. Thank you!

[@expertboxing]

I agree with you 100%. I tried to mention this before in another video and a bunch of noobs missed the point and raided the comments section saying I didn't know what I was talking about because I "dropped my hands".

[@SLyCeMD]

I really appreciate your videos. Never boxed a day in my life. Im slowly building a passion for the craft of boxing. You articulate your lessons well. You deserve a subscriber! I'm in!

[@BONUSR0UND]

Thanks Jonny, really enjoy all your videos and website advice, its helped me come a long way with my fighting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@fight4ourright306]

Interesting. Yea you just made me realize Im doing way too much body movement and like you said its tireing. Thanks for the info.

[@marx4325]

Probably the best advice i have heard and very simple to understand, "your center is wherever you find yourself"

[@Ricky51Fifty]

You looked real confident at the end of this video. And you have reason to. Truth is you really can control your oponent with what you just said. (Or somewhat) you should of mentioned that the oponent could throw a jab, a hook, or uppercut and that could be either left or right... he might even come with a combination... but i like your main point, put your head where you want him to swing and slip. I like this video. It made me think. I feel more aware and alert. Respect

[@ProductionBandit]

you're great dude my trainer is quite condescending and patronising to me lately so i'ma get it back at him and show him whats up, pretty sure he's mad because i won't pay for personal training like everyone else, what type of coach is that?

[@ProductionBandit]

and by get back at him i mean show some new skills off in sparring

[@expertboxing]

Keep doing your thing, my friend. Ignore the bad vibes.

[@Kev80ification]

expertboxing Great video mate!!

[@mysticroots94]

wow thats not cool personal trainning is alot of money find a new coach bro

[@ProductionBandit]

Joseph escabar i do group training, not personal training (i'm signed up at a martial arts gym) my muay thai and jits coach are awesome though so it balances out

[@lukaswangemann1232]

This was really helpful, thank you!

[@expertboxing]

Great recommendation. There's a million ways to explain things and it's tricky to know which details to elaborate and which to skip.

[@mikeei954]

Yeah Johnny you explain the theroy simply and clear. love ya vids keep postin .

[@expertboxing]

Thanks, man!

[@SuperDenkoo]

Great video,very very very helpful,big thumbs up bro!

Thanks for the advise!! Excellent video

[@TheCHris8726]

Well, thank You for quick answer, I just wanted to say that You are real gem for someone like me who just started boxing. Amount of details You explaining in every video, great articles on your page and time to answer people who asking about various little things. Others channels here on KZbin aren't even close to this level. Your videos really helping me alot. Keep good work and thanks again.

[@EBB47]

I've been a wing chun guy for a long time and i came across your channel and i'm getting really into it. Thanks for the videos

[@cali_grown]

Well said nice job you have no idea how much those 4min did for me. Youve stepped up my game with your perception and technique

[@LessLethal]

Man, I've watched a few of your vids now. You are an EXCEPTIONALLY good teacher. It is a gift.do not underestimate it. Just like Freddie Roach, you have an unusual ability to articulate subtle and very nuanced fight knowledge in such a way that's easy for anyone to understand. Anyone can learn to fight, some can even learn to to it well but being able to teach is a rare skill that cannot be learned. You have it. Props bro.

[@BJJandFriends]

Wow, that's the best explanation I heard. I always wanted to figure out a better way to explain this concept.Thank You. Great stuff.

[@bahriboy]

I've been following combat sports for years & just learnt so much in 4 minutes...very well done!!

[@jayaregomez]

This is a great video. Thanks bro.

[@expertboxing]

Thank you!

[@smackroscoe]

I subscribed to your channel based on this one video alone. Your teaching skill is clear, impressive and believable. I look forward to more quality videos from you.

[@expertboxing]

James Toney was pretty awesome at reading opponent rhythms and moving with them perfectly. He just swam with the punches!

[@expertboxing]

Thank you, that's exactly what I try to do. Which is giving guidance without setting limitations. Different techniques come with different principles.

[@FreshlyRoasted]

Thanks man. Your videos are very helpful man keep up the good work. Ive felt a big improvement in skill since watching your vids.

[@scottwin646]

This has got be the best boxing tips\training videos channel I’ve found. You’re very articulate with your thoughts and the way you explain everything thoroughly. Thank you for making these videos man.

Awesome! Thank you, Scott!

[@dvcmscms]

man, this is gonna help me a lot in my next sparring. I'm so happy

[@MichaelShulski]

Thanks again. This series is great.

[@expertboxing]

I probably will but this video sums it up so much easier and even demonstrates it, too.

[@Silltoys]

that is what i needed !! the center in boxing, good jobb m8

[@emilpetersen6988]

very informative for a newbie like me, great stuff

[@JustMrMak]

This was a great video, taught me that it's setting up and readying your counter-punch - planning ahead.

[@AlexandreGuo]

Thank you!!! I thought that I had to do some big slips but now I know that I don't have to.^^

[@riceboy287]

KZbin offers so much for us and for people who want to share great information. I'm glad you finally have access to such useful material. Careful, not all of it is good though lol

[@FinzyNoMoreYT]

Awesome... combat is as much about nuance & rhythm as it is about speed & power... you're an outstanding teacher.

[@expertboxing]

That's good. Because some of my videos are for beginners and some are for more advanced. There's something for everything!

[@ericdetente5839]

thank you for your knowledge and time.

[@tjp2131]

I think it is a matter of technique. You can't be top heavy and your hands have to stay up in position. Rotate your shoulders when moving side to side, this way it's easy to keep your chin tucked away and head forward, eyes on your opponent. Pivot on the ball of your back foot and use your front foot as a stabilizer. Move your head in a U shape swooping down and to the side, duck, side slide, up, duck slide to the other side and back up again. In a U shape. Technique matters folks.

[@roxannezingleman4000]

that's an epic profile picture

[@ColdFear6666]

And an epic advice! I love your comments, Tj P!

[@Dan_JC_BMX]

Moving your head in a U shape is a roll though, right? Not just a basic slip to the inside/outside, definitely more technical points to be made for rolls as opposed to slips

[@Therusk87]

Nice video. Very informative.

[@carlossepulveda3769]

Bro this is actually very smart thanks

[@BruceLeroyUK]

[@expertboxing]

GOOD JOB! That's exactly what you're supposed to do!

[@justaname935]

thanks so much I'll definitely try to think about going under the armpit and keeping my head high. I did my first legit slip and counter two days ago in sparring. It felt awesome lots of fun

[@MrChacha2011]

Thank you, I was dodging wrong just like how you pointed in out your video. This has opened my eyes. Could do another video with a partner to better show the angles and technique.

Thanks man thanks a lot helped me very much

[@expertboxing]

I definitely do...look'em up!

[@Bricklinsv1970]

very good lesson!

[@itsonboxingmma]

Great explanation good video

[@expertboxing]

It's a good idea to explain pros and cons of different things and that's exactly what I'm doing. I have a few videos out on Tyson's technique and have a few more scheduled to be released. To some degree I'm not very good at explaining the lesser effective technique because A) I'm not good enough to get away with it and B) I don't personally use it myself so I wouldn't feel qualified to speak on it.

[@Elliottebbs]

Your a really good teacher man.

Thanks, Dave! Keep working at it. Boxing is definitely possible even at 57!

[@Jdog305Cubanito]

Mane I'm learning a lot from watching your Videos homes I Thanks ya a lot!

[@expertboxing]

Generally, beginners are taught to slip to the OUTSIDE of the punch because it's safer there but over time, you'll quickly learn that slipping to the inside also has many benefits and can create new angles. In regards to the center line, I am referring to the position of your head.
