Shadowboxing video

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

I am no expert but something I noticed is that you throw your hook rather low. It isn't shoulder to cheek to prevent being countered. I didn't see a hook thrown high enough to protect you from a counter. Thats the one thing I picked up on almost immediately because my previous trainer worked with me a lot on that especially after i hurt my arm throwing my hooks wrong. Nice vid FLIP

yeh i seen that to i usually do bring it up higher but i guess it was just off when i recorded this vid. thanks

i watched about half of it. you definitely have a boxers' form.

did you want constructive criticism? or just want to know if people like your ****?


edit: they train karate where u are at too?

practice like you fight...

usually when i shadowbox i just work on technique and staying relaxed and get that muscle memory workin with the defense. i usually practice how i fight when i hit the bag or mitts nawmean?

You are a VERY talented kid, I just think you need to throw with intention, also circle right a touch more. You circle left very naturally but right is forced. You are very talented and sorry if my first critique was harsh, think I was jealous!

one round at the gym

Looks good. You got a few Cottoish mannerisms going on.

You have the same problem I have. Throwing hooks when shadow boxing feels un-natural and always ends up looking strange.

My best advice to you would be ignore anything you hear on this forum. You look like you know what you are doing, and any criticisms people give you are simply them stroking their own egos.

hey i only watched a bit but you were looking good mate, just as punch drunk said try moving in all directions, think like you have an opponent in front of you.....

but good very good, you look well trained and conditioned, how many fights have you had?

Question about shadowboxing:
Everytime I see someone (amateur or pro) do it, they throw relatively short punches and don't use their whole body alot. It usually looks more like arm punches. Which results in a lot higher/faster punchrate but they look all look like weak punches imo.
So what's the deal with that?

About the video itself:
Nice imo, only flaw I noticed was that you should keep your right elbow closer to your liver while punching with the left.
