Throwing Combinations From The True Boxer Stance

[@dynamitecity9667]

You've arrested my development as a boxing trainer, enthusiast, and student of the sport - especially the 'core first' principle and excellent footwork demonstrations. After 20 years of training and teaching, you've got me rethinking and adapting again, which is unusual for me, as most of what I see on youtube I've heard or already know. Thank you especially as all week I've been thinking 'I would really like to see Mr Cook demonstrate combination punching together with his already established excellent interpretations of the fundamentals. You may not be the flashiest or quickest (in terms of video presentation) but I like that. You're polite, yet the no-nonsense, no-frills approach is refreshing.

Coach Cook, you have without a doubt one of the best games in the game. I often think about a great quote: Be in a position where you can hit him but he cannot hit you. This is simply beautiful science

[@melvintran6818]

Mike Tyson was so great cuz he could get in a position where the opponent could not hit him so he could punch with full power and straight through them. 2 completely different styles but 1 common factor success

[@TrueBoxerStance]

You and me both, Ian. Activity keeps this alive

[@saihinadir]

I am currently learning Kyokushin Karate, and I mix it with the true boxer stance and I think it is working very well, especially since the true boxer stance allows you to quickly switch in sideways stance and throw a fast side kick ( think of it as a ''jab with the foot") and while throwing combos, the left hook you showed in the video can be followed by a rear leg roundhouse middle kick. Thanks for the awesome content, I'm refering you to my friends Marvin.

[@jaketheasianguy3307]

Using Marvin's TBS is indeed very unothordox when you fight with Kyokushin guys, since their stance is so square off, it would caught them off guard most of the time

[@joed7299]

After watching this I now I understand how the true boxer stance works . Correct me if I’m wrong . The true boxer stance is a way to generate defense based on footwork at the same time being able to use offensive techniques without being opened for counter attacks from my opponents.

The stuff you’re giving out is so gold it’s almost robbery, the real fundamentals. Detailed descriptions and analogies to really fill in any gaps. Most stuff that you see outside a gym just assumes you already have ring IQ, most have enough to talk about it, not enough to apply it.

[@sammyidris1002]

This coach makes alot of sense

[@connorhighland6783]

I agree that movement & balance are important but those extra 2 steps I have to move to land with the hook takes more movements and time in a game of seconds and inches. You might as well throw another right cross to keep your opponent busy to get into position to land with the left hook.

[@hopelessmmd]

Ur emphasis on hip movement vs 'foot-turning' is a basic tenet of boxing. But many have forgotten that. U r correct. Power derives from the powerful hips, not the foot. Actually, the foot follows the powerful hips. Study Tyson, he generates his power from his hip. Also, positioning. U r correct: better positioning allows one to throw tighter hooks. Thank u for doing that. I subscribed to u

[@DedicatedDrive]

A summary of the vid for others: With the prior 1-2 and 1-2-3 example, When we punch from the same position repeatedly we over-torque but using footwork we can reposition whilst combining by shifting/stepping laterally. We use angles & positional advantages by footwork with each motion/punch. Whilst doing TBS combos, we have eliminated the chance for a counter as we are balanced without leaning in, pushing off or just being off balance with our punches and our we won’t need to rebalance after punching. Closing that opening for our opponents “make them miss make them pay”. Feet first for our movements/combos; our hands will follow our feet, not the other way - an fluid alignment with our body. With same side combos, we know every punch comes back to our stance so we don’t lose balance or over travel so we can fluently do them 1-3-1 instead of switching from a left to right punch in a combo.

You know that moment when Neo can "see" the matrix? Not the simulation, but the underlying code? That's what watching this video felt like. Thanks coach! Small critism: I'd like to see this exact video with you executing against someone trying to "cover up" the traditional way. Anyone unfamiliar with boxing won't understand just how varied the angles you created were. This basically negates all traditional defence to the point where covering up becomes falling into your trap. A bag can't show that.

I'm just watching a Frankie Randall fight (Coggi), not all of the elements are there but if you watch the way he keeps his feet under him and goes back into stance after every punch or movement, he reminds me a bit of what I *think* Marvin is teaching (it's not the norm and I struggle to assimilate it just from these videos), basically just never being out of position to punch. One thing I know Marvin is right on, the way a lot of these guys move, nowadays, they simply can't throw an effective punch maybe half the time. You can be in front of Andre Direll and under no threat at all, because he is bouncing and jittering all over the place. Check out some later Frankie Randall fights, bros, you'll see what I mean

I said A key. I also meant to say on the feet. My bad. What most of his opponents do is to reach with their punches. He leans back and counters/finds angle or some other magic.
