Why do we hop all the time

Why do boxers hop all the time?

[@EYEZAYZEL]

The point made in thsi video is often ehst i see that is "missing" in the understanding of the soviet style, and boxing in general. Whats hardest to make the casual "observer"/ new student understand is that boxing/combat is all SITUATIONAL and not one thing will work all the time. People get caught up in the idea of "styles" that they miss the forest for the trees. A fight is fluid, and if the fight moves then so must we. Be Like Water My Friend.... ☯️

[@SubliminAL-ql7go]

You must different rhythms and “looks”, the elite boxer knows to always show a “different” fighter to the same opponent, otherwise an elite boxer will time and get patterns down

[@EYEZAYZEL]

[@HasbiksRightHand]

Facts , they don’t kno water 💦 my friend. But it is good to learn.

[@s035034]

Thank you teacher 🙏🏾

[@danckos1]

One of the best Coach is Frolov, no doubt!

[@RubricoA.]

so the song hop little bunnies is just the first step to learn the pendulum step. Teach them young

[@RicardoLångström]

Thanks fore Wise words

[@northernking2604]

Usyk does the pendulum all the time

[@Swordsmann.]

Definetely.

[@SouthpawJoe]

One thing I've never been able to understand is Lemeshevs pendulum step when hes in range. He doesn't bounce much but hes obviously still doing tiny pendulum steps. Im totally unable to make such small pendulum steps. Any advice? practice? lol

[@pantasticlaire3966]

Try to think of it as less of a jump and more like you’re picking up your feet and catching yourself while falling if that makes sense. Pick up your foot, your body drops a bit, and slightly reposition your feet in that split second

[@udbhavsharma1882]

​​@@pantasticlaire3966 It's like you're about to sprint and stop yourself in just a split second.

[@2PounderPlanter]

try to move with your ankles and not with the bending of the knees, this kind of movement helps to stay in pendulum without getting your legs tired since you dont use muscles of whole leg. you only use the muscles for ur ancles.

[@kamikami138]

Just move your hips in rhythm & your feet will follow along the dance

[@pandaBoxz]

The bounce comes from your fascia, and you conserve energy of bouncing by having stiff ankles which acts as a tough rubber when used in combination. Basically makes your footwork like a hair trigger to react to anything quickly

[@zetareticulan321]

I think Bruce Lee also used pendulum footwork.

[@villhelm]

No. Bruce Lee used fencing footwork

[@zetareticulan321]

@@villhelm That too, but he does use the pendulum from time to time.

why would it even matter?

What is this trainers name

[@kaisharchan]

Is it same with tae Kwon do pendulum?

[@antoniom6289]

Privyet Coach Frolov, I try to use your style and i train it in my gym all the time but when i do some sparring my coach keeps telling me to stop "running away" and tells me to block more. I believe that it is smart to avoid punches as much as posible, what should i do? I don't think he will understand if i try to explain him, he'll just call me a coward

[@box_1126]

That aint a cowards move and your correct about avoiding opponents punches. But imo, mix those up. Mix from avoiding punches and getting close. Might not align with your style

[@MrAntonB]

Boxing is hit your enemy and dont get by your enemy so

[@bobspread]

Finer margins are needed. Your coach could mean that you're evading and moving - but too far away. Tighten up your margins of evading and you'll see, almost still be touch tight to your opponent. Massive gaps and opportunities will open for you in counter attacking. Footwork training is essential for this! And bravery in the beginning. It gets easier. But lots of time and dedication is needed. It's an absolute art in itself.

[@joeblogs-vx4ep]

How tall is the ceiling in that gym ? Are you in a airport terminal ?

[@RAFAELDTOLEDO]

is there a pendulum step or hop for short person like me i stand 164 cm. or is pendulum step suited for taller,latger person?

[@Linkolite]

I’m also curious about this. I have given it a shot and I believe my arms are too short to make use of the range

[@AlphaKings]

Size doesn’t matter it’s conditioning. You need to able to do it as long as possible with it causing you lose energy. Jump rope. And calf raises.

[@dariuszmarcinkowski7191]

It's telegraphing as hell

[@Jnd.2y]

It’s not it can actually confuse your opponent because they don’t know what you are going to do next

[@dariuszmarcinkowski7191]

[@Jnd.2y]

@@dariuszmarcinkowski7191 it works for tall people with a long reach I wouldn’t recommend someone who is short to try it

[@iamjulian2810]

@@dariuszmarcinkowski7191way to show ur lack of knowledge, all of the best boxers in today’s world can hit moving backwards

[@joaoramos7160]

​@@dariuszmarcinkowski7191but you can break rhythm like, you swing forward, so your opponent expects you to swing backwards, and instead you swing forward again with a power jab or a leaping left hook. Like everything in boxing, you have to mix it up to keep your opponents guessing. Even clear telegraphs can work for you if you use jerky feints (look at Tyson Fury)

[@iamshredder3587]

Legend has it this style was passed down to us long ago from the great boxing kangaroos of old. 🦘
