BOXING SECRET | How Moving To Your Right Can Win You Fights

[@UthinkUKnoMe]

The most valuable thing about Marvin cook’s teachings, is that it’s outside of the box boxing philosophy. Takes the basics and flips em in a more practical way. Can’t beat modified textbooks 🔥

I would say often in most sports specifically combat sports that knowing the basics and the general rules regarding their reasoning is the key to exploiting said rules and said basics....very similar in Muay Thai...learning to move to your strong side, leaves open lead kicks to the head and traps for their lead leg, etc. Having a dynamic game is always a plus

One thing I really didn’t understand about the video is this. When moving to the right are you doing a sort of stutter step or a pivot?

[@saihinadir]

@@maxanderson3733 Good question ! I tried to kinda stutter with a very small pivot, and It feels natural and creisp. I suggest you work on your calf stamina because repeating the footwork drills got my legs cramped up!

Exactly, that's how I was taught. I was taught move both ways and avoid the power hand until you want to face it in an exchange. However I have to know how to switch it up so I don't get cut off from just going one way.

[@TrueBoxerStance]

[@williamhawley9436]

I've decided that this makes too much sense for me to keep being hyper skeptical due to the novelty of this information. I've been training my jab and your footwork patterns in the true boxer's stance for about a month now and I keep getting better even in what felt like unrelated areas such as combination punching simply because I never took the time to really find my balance. Moving to the right was hard at first but now it is almost as natural. Moving from the hips too! I feel like I'm cutting away the excess crap from my movements. A lot of the techniques I had previously learned were for in-fighting because my sparring partner was taller so it's sad to see a lot of that hard work vanish from my shadowboxing but I think it will be worth it. Suggested this channel to a few friends, thanks for the content.

[@williamhawley9436]

@Hung Manh Vu right! it was just so hard at first to go from fighting relatively square to a bladed stance but im glad that i am. if you’ve ever played ping pong this stance is a lot like cutting the ball, you’re forcing the opponent to play by your rules or else they pay dearly

[@tarikelschiehaby4644]

I dont really get it. I always try to remind myself to stay in the true boxer stance but the thing is that i dont understand the concept of moving from your hips.

[@gellotion]

GREAT Video, up untill about the 7 minute mark. Don't bet on throwing your opponent off by stepping to the outside, and assuming he'll be momentarily confused by it. DO step to the outside (away from their power hand) because structurally it's the right thing to do. This is basic movement 101 in most martial arts, but i agree it's not taught enough in boxing. Good work!

[@Kal-El207]

I have never had anybody paint a picture so perfectly in my mind as you did here. This is just perfection. I’ve been boxing since I was 16. I let it go for some years, almost a decade I’d say. I recently picked it back up this year in January but now as a certified USA Boxing coach. And your videos have helped me in the most immense ways. Thank you Marvin.

[@ALdragon4]

Such valuable knowledge. I actually learned this playing UFC3. The practice involved to incorporate irl is incredible difficult but really rewarding. This movement pattern confuses opponents because it's so unnatural. Mix it up though to stay illusive because like all movement patterns, it can become predictable if done too often.

Brilliant. I just wanna say that I applied your videos to my Muay Thai stance. During some elbow tag we did today(part of our warm-ups), I noticed it was throwing people off how I was moving and using my "rifle" to open them up. So many more targets were available to me by using your methods. For those of you who don't think it works, try it. Drill it, use it while shadowboxing. Then, try it during some light sparring. I am fully convinced that this man's methods work - and not just for traditional boxing. I'm gonna focus on moving right in my shadowboxing to prepare for Spar Day Wednesdays at my gym! Thank you for making these videos and the old ones from 8 or so years ago!

[@K2ThaPhukkinC]

Super underated video. As an experienced Elite amateur this movement is so basic yet so overlooked and nobody will circle to their right because the awkward step and foot crossing.

[@paddgintongbareall5827]

Or a quick way to eat a left hook. I'm not saying he's wrong, but there's a reason you're taught traditionally to either spear through with the jab (Holmes, Foreman, etc), it just works. You shouldn't have to shift all the way right (or left) to measure with a jab (Tyson, Moore, Bowe), or to knockout/stun with one. You're also conditioning your opponent to expect you to move in said direction. That counter is gonna suck ala Pac vs Marquez...move forward and guard your chin.

[@thomasthorne4010]

In your teachings pertaining to footwork, you emphasize chasing the rear foot. I saw that a bit clearer as the demonstrators went into gaining the outside position leading with the job AND I was almost gonna ask how can this work for the southpaw but then I looked at it again and thought about what we are taught to create that ' advantage ' and it works the same way. The ' swing ' around in my opinion is more pronounced or stepping to the outside of your opponent but this is great craftsmanship about angles and working the radius but going in the opposite direction or away from your strong side. Great stuff

[@rooseveltriley1141]

I have always wondered why boxers didn’t do this! I have only seen very few do it, but it just makes more sense to me, rather than moving left in direct line of fire of the opponent’s right hand. Thanks coach. You just confirmed that I’m not crazy. Great teaching!

My heavy bag workout. Switch leafs every round, First 2 rounds circle toward your lead hand, Rounds 3 and 4 circle towards your rear hand. 5 and 6 toward the lead. 7 and 8 toward the rear.

[@setik1337]

I'm wondering the same

[@setik1337]

i think it might be better to step with the back foot. moving to the right as orthodox is awkward either way, but i've practiced stepping with my left foot first, and i find you end up giving your back to your opponent. imagine if they slip to the right as you throw this jab, they are basically going to hit you on the back of the head with their overhand right. also after throwing this jab you are so perpendicular to your opponent that it is really difficult to follow up with your cross. stepping with your right foot first still doesn't feel perfect, i think it generates less power because your hips are not in sync with your shoulders, but it might beat the alternative. this guy demonstrates it well kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqSqlXaZnb54orM actually now that i think about it, if your opponent is backing up you will definitely be jabbing while stepping forward with your left foot. so perhaps both techniques are viable depending on the situation. i'll test it out next time i train
