[@fighttips]

Amazing video, coach! I feel the heavybag creates that "casual transition" bad habit you mentioned at 1:32. This reminds me of a drill I learned at CSA Gym in Dublin, California -- you and a partner "spar" without any strikes. Imagine you are repelling magnets, trying keep your distance apart always the same. Great way to work on those quick, precise steps and angles.

[@PrecisionBoxing]

+fightTIPS sounds like a really cool drill, CSA knows their stuff!

[@theunknownintrovert]

You two should have a match

[@noridrad8663]

Precision Boxing I'm an upcoming boxer I would say my style is that of a Cuban school very Guillermo rigondeaux like..im right handed I move well..but I've heard some tell me u need to be lighter on your feet..what could I be needing I've had 2 amateur fights and won them both..

[@balamclay7871]

Norid Rad -- Do you use a skip rope yet? Classic boxer's training for staying light on your feet :)

[@dreddpaul]

Fight tips beat me too it, an important detail about footwork practice that is often overlooked. I use this drill for my boxers as part of the warm up rounds before free sparring, say for a pure 1 hour sparring session, typically after warm up and shadow, this drill for a round, then tag sparring for a round, then jab only, lead hand only etc before building into the free sparring rounds, i find this helps the boxers get into the 'technical' zone which leads to constructive sparring as opposed to destructive sparring

[@alake33558]

So many memories from listening to you. Not many trainers teach feet the way should. Well put sir

[@65akk]

Best boxing channel for me. Better than Fight Tips from a boxing stand point

[@michaelwong6050]

65akk it definetly explains stuff better

[@crazypizza]

Fight Tips are like the really nice canapes that give you some variety but this stuff is the main course.

[@65akk]

crazypizza Yes, well said

[@recreant4385]

fighttips is an all round channel not boxing singular mate so bad comparison

[@65akk]

RECREANT If you read my comment properly I said "from a boxing stand point"

[@johnwoodhead5950]

I think you are brilliant, thanks very much, my son won his second fight convincingly, partly due to great trainers here in London, England but also partly due to your informative videos

[@richcardz]

Thank you so much for this. I've been sparring with my brother from another mother and he recommended this Phenomenal footage to me.

[@_SPIIIDER_]

Thanks for going over the little things Coach! It's subtle details that make difference between being good yo being great! Always great content from you 💪

[@issamilan]

Hell of a coach!!

[@shahrahman7044]

I wish you were my coach. Straight to the point & simple methods. Much love for the channel brother 🥊

[@SantiagoTM1]

Thank you Professor! I may lecture @ time 3rd year Law Students in Criminal Procedure, & train Boxers, but after viewing this video for the first time, I most certainly will use your videos for myself & especially for my student. I can't wait to show your amazing footwork to all my Law Students!!! I can't wait to see their faces. Before each lecture, for the first 5 minutes or so, I talk about Science, World events, & even practice on my comedic routine with them. Now, I'll include your videos to the entire class of 120 students. How will I tie in this video, & others that you now have? Training alone, roadwork, & your techniques in boxing will be my analogies to Studying LAW! Just like a Boxer preparing for a fight, they too have to prepare for 1 exam that covers 36 weeks of Law Lectures. Fact: From those 120 students, only about 100 will graduate Law School. To my Gym Fighters, your videos will now be assigned homework... Respectfully written, Santiago Murillo, Esq.

[@DamonDiaries81]

JT. Great series of videos. I found your channel months ago and have been taking your advice. I've seen good progress in my technique and some of my coaches and training partners say the same thing... I find your vids practical and easy to listen to. thanks.

[@mahrunn]

Thanks for amazing video and tips, coach!

[@youngfaze5235]

[@addi109]

I'm your average joy no background in boxing skills. After watching random videos, I chose to subscribe to your channel because you gave so much detailed information in 3 minutes.

[@dssolo]

This video is a million dollar advice. Perfect point. This type of the footwork is what makes you spend less energy getting to the target and what saves you from hard punches in the exchange. Not understanding it or not doing it properly will get you missing , not landing a thing, eating off what you could have avoided. If you know it, you feel more relaxed and this "adjustment" steps and slide help you to stay longer on target and to feel more confident. In fact a lot of questions here under different videos about how not to get hit and attack- they are directly related to the footwork. Simple thing - a classical 3. One adjustment, jab, right straight/cross and a little slide to the left and the left hook - and you get off the counterpunch and sting into the opening, behind the glove as you are more to the left. I found it very useful to practice footwork on something with more friction than canvas/typical boxing gym floor. Such precise footwork requires precision but also good conditioning. Learning to do it on a gym carpet makes you start your moves harder. Thus when you do it on a normal surface you are flying. Just had tp make sure to do it on normal surface too otherwise you will overwork your moves and overslide/overrotate/overstep. But once you combine both types of surface for your shadow boxing it may boost your speed. The same for rope training. Skipping it on a rubberized surface that absorbs your energy pushes you to work harder and then doing the same on a usual surface is much easier.

Spot on advice mate

[@recreant4385]

nice man this is something ive been working on ever since i had a sparring session with a very tall friend i couldn't land my lead left due to my distance control and his reach and that's when i realised i need to work on quick swift footwork to get in quick and out aswell so yeah this just reminds me about it.

[@mr12aT]

Hi JT, I went back to sparring 2 weeks ago and this video is exactly what I have implemented into my shadow sparring, but its fatiguing af! Im glad to watch this right now, good timing. Also would you do a video on different ways to train your distance and timing please. After back to sparring my distance and timing was terrible, I understand I have ring rust but It got me thinking to if there is a way to train for keeping/ controlling the right distance and getting my timing better.

[@ssjdon]

Yo this is just what I needed thanks coach!! My footwork was trash before watching this vid

your videos are great. I did amature Muay Thai but I wanna get into some boxing n maybe have an amature fight some time. these are great instructional videos!

[@sigmundurfrydalhyllestad9285]

This is very interesting. You mentioned fencing. And the footwork you showed at the end is very similar indeed to fencing. I fenced for 7 years and took up taekwondo afterwards. What I found was that a lot of the footwork from fencing transitions well to taekwondo. The stance allows for quick adjustments backwards and forwards. Lyoto Machida is a good example for this type of footwork. I love seeing how there is a lot of similar techniques even though the martial art is completely different. Makes me think that there are som universal rules for movement, no matter the style. Thank you :-)

[@dominico3737]

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

Definitely what I needed need to practice it cus it is taxing

[@blowthewhistle3352]

your right .. I tend to be a bit to casual I step in rang n step out so I don't think about a person closing distant bc of my fast anticipated foot movement to get me out the way short shifts tax u a lot..

[@raceIceman]

What I do as a drill for this is to do this together with a partner. We face off in boxing stance and one partner is "leading the dance" first and controlls where he wants to go (left, right, forward, backward) . All you need to do is react according to his steps and keep the distance the same. After 1 minute we switch. What do you think about this drill? I feel its a little bit more visual in what you want to achieve in the end.

Hi man great vid. What shoes are you wearing when you're training on thar roof?

[@princesalahadeen5798]

Thanks coach needed this video I'm a heavy weight so it's hard to get my big ass cinder block feet up and moving

[@princesalahadeen5798]

I also have trouble "sitting down" on my punches and remembering to bend my knees

[@XDKX101]

Spreading your legs a bit more helped for me. Instead of a narrow distance between your feet. Easier to slip and duck as well as foot control. I usually put more weight on the lead leg. Got the trick by watching Gervonta davis All of which sucks as I primarily train kickboxing and the stance is literally the opposite with that

[@uatitofa2482]

Branden Thomas I'm a heavy weight as well but what really helped me is his video "4 way slip line" CHECK IT OUT

[@LLJR]

[@docloco86]

Hey JT I need some advice. I lose all of my footwork and "drop" my tactics when I'm sparring boxing as my emotions take over. I seem to be very emotionally reactive during boxing and sparring and I can't seem to break free of it. I end up exchanging when I shouldn't and I enjoy it. It's like I like getting hit. I don't understand it and I seem to lose awareness of this in ever sparring session as soon as someone starts to increase the heat in the gym. I'd appreciate any tips man.

[@parryitchansamone7548]

I say you can tell a true fighter just by his footwork. If you are a fighter, you must not only understand how to do it but how to read what your opponent's footwork will telegraph. Anyone can flash moves, get in some martial arts stance. But when I see someone being able to pivot on a dime without a shift in their body weight, their shoulders and elbows always aligned for angles even when, for this example, stocking store shelves, you can tell they are a fighter you need to respect. Footwork is critical to any fighter of any field.
