Your basic boxing questions answered and much more

Many members are new to the sport and just want some good sound training tips/advice. I have put together vids that walks you through from beginning to end. Many of you have probably already seen these vids, but it's a good refresher course for some that already have the basics down after having been out of the gym for some time. Russ Anber does a great job of walking us through the mechanics of each boxing punch and goes over some situational aspects of the sweet science.

For those who do not have access to an overpriced MMA gym(since they seem to be the only ones around these days). In order for the beginning boxer to benefit from these vids I'm putting up, you must follow it in the order I posted them, step-by-step as I'm showin' em. I'll tell y'all this, you will not get this kind of instructional training in most gyms! and that includes one-on-one training sessions with a trainer who is most likely just out for a quick buck!!

The first vid is probably the most important part in all of boxing, outside from keeping the hands up, w/o the proper stance and footwork punches cannot be executed properly and you will not be able to harness the power without the coordination of your lower limbs.




Once you've gotten a good feel for your stance, the next thing is how to properly execute the jab!

The 3rd one is my favorite punch, it is the same punch that has earned $$$$$$ for the current P4P King Manny PAC. Introducing the straight-punch!



Next up, is the weapon of choice by Mexican fighters, it has also been dubbed as the "liver punch", it was Joe Frazier's $$$ punch, the lead-hand hook.

I like that guy's videos, I agree with most he says, pretty entertaining vids.

The last punch, but definitely the most feared punch in boxing, is the uppercut

Now, Russ Anber has shown us the proper mechanics of each punch, it is time to put what we've learned to the test. Lets put the punches together, in boxing, it is called combination punching "stringing punches together"!!

Okay, now that we've learned how to put our punches together. Lets learn how to defend them. On these vids, Anber shows us how to defend each punch in a number of ways, so as to not be predictable.

First, is how to defend the jab!

Last but not least, how to defend against the most dangerous punch of 'em all, the uppercut!

Now, lets review the different ways of defending each punch. There's parrying, blocking, slipping, weaving and simply stepping out of the way of an incoming punch!

In this vid, Anber reviews the different ways to defend each punch and how to counter-off of 'em.
