i freaking love you coach, your videos are always so short sweet and straight to the point, take all the rest you need, you helped me alot in my boxing journey 🥹👍 Ill follow you to the end and i hope you bounce back soon🗣🗣💯💯🔥🔥🔥
All goodddd bro. Take it from me, whenever you decide to come back don't build up crazy expectations in your head, there's no pressure. Post whatever you like and find your grove again without perfectionism. Its the same as training, you don't start in perfect form, let yourself warm up as you get back into it!
Coach that pressure is what causes people to stop making videos, so you're definitely doing the right thing taking some time off. If there's ever anything I can do to help just say the word! Take as much time as you need, and we'll be here waiting!
We understand brother! We all appreciate the work and guidance you've put out for us and hope you take care of yourself. Don't stress we'll be here waiting for your next video!
Coach you’re actually the reason I started boxing I promise, I aspire to be an infighter and your videos really started my whole journey. It feels like boxing is all I think about and sometimes what I’m made for. I’m really thankful to you for inspiring me, take all the time you need Coach
I try to comment every video I watch but I have a backlog! You’re literally the only one with a channel that takes the time to comment back and listen to us commenters, and seriously it’s helpful to have that. You and my trainer are the two I listen to most so I’ll keep the comments coming, because I have so much to learn.
Hey man, thank you for all that you said! I definitely try to make everybody's time worthwhile 👌🏽. Keep working consistently, and I'm looking forward to seeing you reach your goals over time!
MY BROTHER! YOU ARE AN AMAZING COACH! But if you ever feel burnt out, take a pause. Not quit. Your videos are always bangers, so come when fully recovered
Coach, It's good to be hard on yourself. Take a breather and come back. Every boxer needs a breath. Your content is TOP QUALITY. There is no other coach on youtube that explains boxing as well as you do. Stay safe coach pillow
Idk how they do it either coach, but you've created, written, directed, filmed, edited and posted a HUGE library of useful content in the last 2 years. Most of the big channels have teams of editors and writers, professional film makers, etc. Take a break if you need it! We're not going anywhere!
You're the #1 example when I said "Idk how you guys do it" 😂. You are the definition of DEDICATED. I hope all your hard work has been paying off big for you. But what you said makes a lot of sense! Thank you Andrew!
I've actually been on a binge to watch every video since you started (currently on #43), and recommending your channel to everyone. Honestly don't get how your channel is so small yet so extremely high value. It's actually crazy how good they are, and you even use humor in them.
I appreciate it man, that means a lot to me! I get a little embarrassed at some of my older videos because I can tell I was still getting the hang of being on camera 😂. Thank you for all the support!
Well you definitely deserve a break! I've never come across a channel on UA-cam that has helped me as much as yours has with my boxing and also with my venture into MMA. From polishing my punching technique to learning combinations and even getting a grip on more advanced footwork. Never have I had someone explain it all as good as you have, my #1 UA-cam boxing teacher for sure! I wish you all the best and take all the time you need champ! I'll be waiting for the next upload whenever you're ready :)
These words mean more to me than you'll ever know brotha, thank you! I'll do my best to keep making it a smooth and simple journey to improve your technique 💪🏽. I'll be back on it soon!
Your videos are much appreciated and I also watch older ones as the content stays relevant ... As I always get curious about the boxing youtubers I follow, if you're willing to share, you can make a video showing us a glimpse of your life and what's keeping you so busy. See the man behind the coach.
I appreciate your continued support! Maybe I will get more into those types of videos in the future. Thank you for your interest in that! We'll see what happens 👌🏽.
I'm a bit late to the game but just wanted to express my support. Wish there was more we could do as viewers, other than liking and sharing your videos and making sure you know how great we think the content is. I can't even begin to imagine how hard it must be to balance life and the myriad of other obligations with trying to stay on top of your content creation, I sympathize with you. It's strange, on the one hand I think we all want your channel to succeed and I think everyone of us would agree that the level of insight and experience that you bring is very very high and unlike the grand majority of boxing content creators out there. On the other hand, at a personal level, I think good quality of life and good work/life balance is paramount and I would rather know that you're prioritizing that, even if it means taking some time off. Anyway, just wanted to make sure you knew all of your hard work is very much appreciated.. Saludos desde Nueva Zelanda.
Hey brotha, hope you've been well! Your words mean a lot to me man and I appreciate it! It helps me a ton to hear things like that, and same goes out to you as well! Let's both prioritize a good quality of life and work smart 💪🏽. Much love bro! 🙏🏽🇳🇿🤟🏽
Hello Coach pillow fists. That's so sweet of you Coach, Actually i wondered and thought about messaging you few days ago. Its ok coach we will keep the support, and you keep doing your own thing, rest is crucial and their is up and downs, thanks for sharing so we know too that we are not alone struggling :) live your best life man, and you will come fresh and with more ideas for greater content. by the way just to update you, I started to learn Korean, i study korean 3-4 times a week, I am thinking about going to study a master degree in korea, i just graduated from my Bachelor degree!
Hey Ahmed! Thank you for your wise and uplifting words! You've been a big part of my journey 💪🏽. That's awesome that you're learning Korean! That's a big surprise to me 😄. Congratulations on your bachelor degree! Keep the 🔥 going! 🙌🏽
All good Coach. We'll just rewatch all your previous posts. Can't process all that information at once, gotta revisit to absorb more and more info if that makes sense
@@coachpillowfists Coach, how much sparring is too much? I’m 28 and been sparring probably 8 months and have been knocked down (saw black), had a black eye and sensitivity to light after sparring, and I’m a defensive fighter, obviously still working on it. But I spar bigger dudes sometimes and usually do light sparring with guys I trust.
@thomasliu1309 Hey man, it appears to me like these guys that you’re sparring with are not good sparring partners. At most, 3 days a week of sparring is fine but I don’t suggest any more than that. And you definitely shouldn’t be suffering from knockdowns and seeing black. Idk your situation but if those were recent, I would take a break from sparring and work on your craft.
@@coachpillowfists ok thanks Coach. It was a few months ago and they don’t go to the gym anymore. The main guy I spar now, we go very light, but I’m sparring usually 1-2 times a week light and maybe once every two weeks going harder. Sometimes no sparring in a week, but just doing partner driklls
Love your videos. I always find something I can work on. I can tell you're always putting all your effort into making these videos. Honestly, someone can go through your whole collection of videos and really improve their boxing. Take your time and don't put so much pressure on releasing videos every week!
Self-care is where it's at, bro. We don't need constant videos. Just do it at a pace that is good for you. There's enough technique work in what you've already posted to last most of us a lifetime. You know what I'm looking for? Coach Pillow Fists Cooking Channel!! That's what we need!! : )
quality > quantity. don't pressure yourself. you'll build the following when people see one good video that they really enjoy as opposed to a million ok or decent ones. rest up and we will see you again!
id say any video with Oleksander Usyks name in the title right now will be guaranteed to get some views ;)) i dont know how to play the youtube game but i'm sure you can make it work. rest too of course. your content is awesome
I don't know where the pressure comes from, but in my opinion I always say and always said: Quality over quantity. I follow several channels and some post just for the sake of posting, but there is actually nothing really new or nothing of value that I can take away from a new video. I use youtube as a medium to educate myself. On health, hobbies etc. and I found your stuff valuable. Again I have absolutely no problem on waiting on another video, whether it's because you have other responsibilites (planning wedding for example 😄)or if you just want some freetime man it's all good. Get rid of that "pressure" It does you and the channel no good Post whenever you like. I for my part will not unsub you just because you did not oost for 6 months or so. For examole I subbed a channel I think it's "Striking Thoughts" where they posted fightbreakdowns and gameolans explained with graphics. They did not oost for 2 years, but then they posted again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and I was cool with it. Don't feel the urge to do something just because the others do it Also you should enjoy yourself doing it. Otherwise where's the sense in continuing? It's like hanging on to a relationship which makes you unhappy 😄
That helps a ton, brotha! Thank you for saying all of that. And yes, of course the wedding planning has been a part of that stress 😂. I appreciate you for always being there! 🙏🏽
Your content is excellent and you have no obligation to publish weekly. Take a break and find your rhythm. Quality over quantity
I appreciate the supporting words! 🙌🏽 Will do!
i freaking love you coach, your videos are always so short sweet and straight to the point, take all the rest you need, you helped me alot in my boxing journey 🥹👍 Ill follow you to the end and i hope you bounce back soon🗣🗣💯💯🔥🔥🔥
I'm happy to hear that bro! That means a lot to me 🙏🏽

InspiredIsland, thank you for all of your support throughout this journey! You're right, it's just like training 👊🏽👊🏽👌🏽.
Take your time, there is no rush... make the videos when you want to, when you feel like it, when it suits you... we'll wait
Thank you bro! 🙏🏽
Take a rest bro. I personally appreciate u so much. U deserve a rest. THANKS YOU COACH
Thank you for the supporting words bro! Feels great to hear!
Coach- Rest up and recharge. We all appreciate your efforts and wish you the best!
Thank you sir! Always appreciate you too for sticking along this road with me 🙏🏽
Coach that pressure is what causes people to stop making videos, so you're definitely doing the right thing taking some time off. If there's ever anything I can do to help just say the word!
Take as much time as you need, and we'll be here waiting!
Hey Troy, that makes perfect sense. I can definitely see that. Thank you for your support, and I'll say the word brotha!
We understand brother! We all appreciate the work and guidance you've put out for us and hope you take care of yourself. Don't stress we'll be here waiting for your next video!
Much appreciated bro! Means a lot to me! 🙏🏽
Rest up, man! We appreciate you and want you to be your best so we'll be here right when you ever come back
I appreciate it bro! Thank you for saying that, and I'll definitely be back fresh again 👌🏽.
Thank you coach. No worries brother. Your videos are great. Especially love your highguard video
Thank you brotha! 🙏🏽
You are the best coach in the world ❤❤❤🔥🔥🥊🥊🥊

It's alright Coach, do what you gotta do, even occasional vids are fine
I appreciate it! 🙏🏽

Hey bro, that's awesome to hear how much of an impact I've made for your journey. Thank you for saying that, and I appreciate the support! 🙏🏽💪🏽
No worry coach, you're the best and we won't go anywhere. Keep doing this without any pressure, we don't need new content every week!
Thank you for saying that! 🙌🏽
No sweat man! Your stuff is top tier and worth the wait. Dont overwork yourself just to get stuff out!
That’s a big compliment for me bro, thank you! 🙏🏽
Bless you, coach.. you're an amazing person and boxer.
It will be worth the wait.
Only come back when you are ready....
I appreciate you Darren! 🙏🏽
