I actually started to box 2 years ago to lose weight. I started with rope jumping and then started to punch the bag for a while. Then I met a real boxer and he thought me how to do it right (because I was obviously doing it wrong by myself). He then invited me to his gym and I met his trainer. Now I'm always ready for a fight, but I'm scared I might hurt someone by punching him. The difference between 1 and a half years of amateur boxing vs a normal guy on the street is huge. I am now less likely to punch someone in the face (he might bump his head on the concrete and die).

[@benboni5051]

I’d eventually like to learn boxing, at least enough to know how to defend myself in a street fight. I’m shorter so maybe Muay Thai so I can use elbows when I’m close distance.

[@kiraPh1234k]

@@cheesesteakphilly Hell, learn some from both. Boxing will teach you positions for more powerful punches, Muy Thai will teach you less powerful punches but more tools overall (particularly the stance that gives you quicker access to more weapons is why there is a tradeoff for punching power), especially picking up a couple good kicks lick the teep for control and another kick to deal some damage like a low leg kick. Then you will also get a feel for which one you want to pour practice into to hone those skills. A side note: sparring is important. Its not too hard to learn proper technique for a punch, but it is hard to learn to use that punch effectively as you must deal with defending yourself as well as timing your attack. This is one of the biggest reasons why it takes so long to learn to be an effective striker, as you have to pick up on the strategy of using the punch and not just knowing how to throw it. So when you do find the one you like, it will be very helpful to find a place or method to train with sparring.

Lol, same. I lost 140 in 10 months, and worked every day. Started only being able to jog 30 seconds, and ended up raising it to over 13.5 miles by jogging every single day. increasing my time by 5 seconds per day at the start, and then by miles jogged as I started going longer distances. I hit the bag daily, lifted, etc. I put in an excruciating amount of work, and the only people who say stupid shit like 'they worry about hurting others' are people that I'm in no way afraid of fighting because they're making excuses to not fight. I've never met a real one who said that shit. I've met plenty of weak people who say 'they'll break their hand' if they hit someone without a glove on, or as you said 'I may hurt them'. Real ones aren't worried about telling others what they'd do in a fight, how intense it would be, or anything else, because they know. Fake ones tell everyone in hopes it never comes to a fight. If it took you 'training' to realize that someone could bump their head after you hit them, you're an idiot. I think you knew before training that it was a possibility, but now you're using it as a false equivalence of skill. Just calling you on your own weak mental. Spend half as long worrying about hurting others, more time worrying about how to improve.

My boys came in and got me, they were out of breath and terrified. I went outside and this bully was yelling and cursing and threatening me. One fast, stff jab to the chest and he had a second of shock, followed by a straight right that fractured his jaw and his left orbit. Just wanted to say thank you. I was pretty nervous but your training gave me something to bring to the table. The guy moved out two weeks later.

So I just want to urge everyone to understand and know how to handle the overhand right.

[@SoldierAndrew]

I boxed from age four til my late 30s and being diagnosed with short term dementia from too many concussions I would never say boxing is good for mental health or mental well being. Children shouldn't be taking punches to the head before their brains are fully developed. I'm in my 40s and often can't remember my debit card pin number and forget I put food in the oven when the fog in my brain gets heavy. I began getting my bell rung from childhood into adulthood. I liked getting hit but never thought it'd catch up to me later in life. Brain injuries accumulate over time. I teach my little nephew boxing mechanics but I don't let him spar full contact. He doesn't need to get hit in the head to learn to take a punch. Adrenaline allows men to take punches when our defense fails. He can spar full contact after his brain fully develops. I don't want him like me.

Well done incorporating some good foundations into a very common street fight scenario. Like he said if one has good timing countering the right overhand (hopefully from actual training, it's worth it) you can often end it there or shock your attacker enough that you can work him over while he's tripping on his heels still trying to comprehend what happened. If anyone is a southpaw like me I HIGHLY recommend learning how to counter w/ the right hook. Once you practice enough & make it 2nd nature it's a 99% guaranteed knee noodler unless your attacker is well trained in a full contact martial art.

[@TDA792]

Good stuff! I think you're absolutely right about that huge, telegraphed swing most punks will use. Most of the time I think it's more of a overhand/hook hybrid (a haymaker I think?) where they whip it around like it's a hook but with a straight arm. In doing Jiu-Jitsu, they teach a defense to it where you slip the punch by ducking and then shooting in for a clinch, shoot a leg trip and hold him down in the mount. Of course, that's best when you're certain the guy's alone; if he's got buddies, keeping it standing like shown above is best way to go.

Great video. My Dad always said most street or bar fighters only use their right hand so you know where it’s coming from. He said to step back and counter with your own right.

Thanks for sharing mate! happy to help

[@209Stretch]

Great content, better than a lot of others👍🏽👍🏽

[@Tito_Viera]

The most dangerous people on the use of the violence as a tool are the most nice, and you mister, you're a really nice and easy to watch and learn. Thanks!!

[@adityatyagi4009]

Great video. You're a great teacher and inspiring individual.

[@LeRainbow]

Amazing content. Through you I finally managed to learn how to throw a punch correctly. I was just tossing my arm and using the momentum to punch instead of actually using my hip‘s rotation as momentum and the muscles in my shoulder, back and arm to control speed, force and direction. The trick with the tennis ball is great however how would you train evading punches when you‘re solo? Thanks!

[@Michaelno]

Watching this in 2023. Starting my home gym boxing journey at 40. Self defense is something I've never needed, but the world is changing.

[@joetaylor486]

Loving your simple rules for bad situations. Outstanding.

[@Tree_Surgeon87]

Such a good video 👍 would love to hear some stories of the street fights you have been involved in champ

[@garysmith2983]

Been doing martial arts now for 10 years, black belt in karate, several years Krav Maga and Ju Jitsu and a few boxing sessions along the way, although my frame and first instinct is to grapple, which as I’m sure you know, on the street is usually more hazardous than being on the feet. Love the content and always learn something.

[@formulasaltythunder4806]

Always a pleasure to watch your stuff. Really explain things precise and clearly. U da man

[@B4ND1T503]

Great practical real-world advice. Thanks Tony!

[@ofarrellmeister]

Hey Tony! Big fan of the page! Do you have any drills or recommendations for getting used to taking hits during sparring? Thanks!

[@KHASTER]

You just feel it, it's more like reacting when the fist is in the middle of the gap if you time it right u can dodge it also when fighting just focus on the shoulders and waist. and always be the first one to strike don't let your opponent fight back, well that's how I was taught we learned to end a fight fast.

[@kr4awkr4aw5]

Thank you, Tony your videos are the best, you're a great teacher. You saved my life or at least saved me from getting beat up. I thank you from the bottom of my heart God bless you.

[@Rob-157]

It's great that you share your knowledge and help people learn how to defend themselves. 👍

[@JaggersLips]

It’s good to have some self defence skills just incase you are forced into a street fight. Great vid !

[@ghazkullthraka1698]

The belt on wall looks like one of the giant watch we had as we were young😂

[@ZWingsSSN]

Loool, where are your roots from??

[@junekatana78]

Mate just found your channel and you've already inspired me to get back on the training. Watching has brought back a thought pattern I had when I trained but got lost due to that 10ft tall bulletproof attitude and the booze girls and drugs club that surrounded me. I stopped that but became a shy reserved head bowed character Nice one fella keep them coming.

[@MuhammadAli-ds5kt]

You are such a legend your videos really help me to become stronger mentally and in fighting as I I some one who has been a victim of bullying for a long time but now I'm ready to face those bullies when they target me

[@dwaynecunningham2164]

Great lesson. As a retired intoxicated patron extraction professional myself I agree 100% with your idea of the overhand right being the punch you will most likely have coming at you

[@ay-k2211]

the channel is growing everyday love to see it!!

[@ronrogers9978]

I am fighting in the though man next year in wv I been watching your videos training myself for so far I have learned a lot from these videos thank you 😊

[@fredazcarate4818]

Mr Jeffries thank you once again for dispensing your martial wisdom. Your advice is sound and practical. I shall incorporate your routine to my exercise regimen.🧐🤔👊👍🙏

[@ericfroshnider3524]

Thank you for your instruction. There's a lot of knowledge your sharing on your videos With an accuraball ( goggles is safer) you dont need a partner throw the ball yourself and it will return in a straight line.For additional solo training to learn how to move from your reactions and train your eyes to see movement study flow arts Juggling ,Hoop,Poi, contact staff flowersticks ect.

[@ives3572]

The aggressor's body movements in a heated altercation is a big tell that a big lazy-ass punch is coming.

[@Tony_Jeffries]

Have you seen one mate?

[@ives3572]

@@Tony_Jeffries Yes, like when he's loading up or telegraphing his punch. Speaking based on my personal experience as a self-defense practitioner.

[@kaanca48]

my english is not so good but thanks to your clean and simple explanation. i didnt need any subtitles. and your techniques really make sense to me. thanks

[@fxtorquay]

Great video Tony, you really break it down well for beginners. I would just add that it helps if people use pads to improve their hand speed and get that snap in their punches. If you've never hit anyone or anything before it can be a mental block but practising at home with someone holing the pads would certainly help their confidence. Speed is power as they say.

[@kevinrosas4572]

My face when I saw the brick wall move o: everything I know is a lie. Great video as always mate!

[@juandenz2008]

Same, I really thought it was an actual brick wall !

[@DeadmanOG81]

i started jump roping for a fun cardio workout. i do about 30 mins jumping the rope. its been almost a week and im started to feel lighter on my feet. i really wanna get into boxing now. but we dont have gyms and trainers in my town. so im hoping your videos will be good enough to teach me the fundamentals.

[@greencrocidile6246]

Hope you joined a gym nothing like having a coach who is actively improving you

[@joep5986]

First video I've seen of yours and I immediately subscribed. Great Video!

Thanks lot dear teacher 😊 This street fight will make us stronger in boxing 💪 😤 🙌 👏 Your big interested from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 😉

[@Jowdijow_2000]

I’ve always been learned to work myself in the close range fight by sliding under the hooks and then improvising with a liver punch (if you want to finish with a kick) or a left hook or jab.

[@jayrodaceo416]

That’s always my go to plan but if I see they cover their ribs I go for that one spot in the stomach where nerves are I forgot exactly what it was called but they both would knock sumbody down quickly

Thanks you very much

[@makenziemay5449]

My father's always told me to look directly at their shoulders cause then you can see if they move in which direction their gonna throw a punch or kick. Also I would probably be better at looking at their shoulders rather than straight into their eyes cause I feel that I would look at where I'm gonna hit!🤣 Also great video and thanks you really helped me!
