25 years plus and I've never seen content as good as this guy. Roy Jones jnr trusts him for a reason.
Really appreciate that. Thanks!
Coach Y - These are old-school moves that will never become outdated. Simple and highly effective. Thank you and Danny for your time.
You're welcome!
What a beautiful area! Nice opportunity to practice boxing outside. Life is good 🤙
When coach Tom says its Sunday then its sunday
🙏
IMO blocking is underrated. We have a ex karate guy in our boxing gym he blocks punches like a demon. Not like catching with his glove either but actually makes them work like those traditional karate style.
Yes they are very underrated! Blocks and parries are a lost art. I hoping to bring them back to light! Thanks for all the support. Please consider sharing the video.
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel Don't forget body punching too. I am a huge fan how you covered counter punching to the body.
There's a Mike Tyson sparring video called "kid dynamite" where he uses all three of these blocks. It appears that he is deliberately working on his jab and distance in the video and you can see a different style from him then what is typically seen.
It’s taking white belt karate stances and making a dynamic for boxing
Another great drill to put in the bag of tricks! A million thanks to the GOAT coach!
You bet!
I watched many times this video there is no more questions .👊 👊
Drillers make killers great video
💯 Thanks!
Very effective and attacking technique.

Thank you coach another great video, if you don't mind make a video about slipping please.
Sure thing!
Another FREE Master Class from a master Boxing Athlete Teacher and his pupil , thanks!!!
I feel like you just taught me Karate...this is amazing!!!
Usually the jab hangs with the right hand. In this way even the opponent can counterattack with a direct right, look at Joshua vs Ruiz 2. Great job coach, he always follows you with passion.
Great stuff coach , thank you!!
Got to have that good fam Nation to be a great fighter. Thank you Tom for another great video

Nice drill. Going to practice it this week! 👍
Good luck!
@@WorldClassBoxingChannel was Bernard Hopkins good at using the shoulder trajectory?
Great stuff coach, big fan of this type of block, I remember Andre Ward being a big proponent of the lead arm block. What about a combination punch coming at you? Could you stay turned at the waist and keep blocking?
An example of blocking multiple punches this way can be seen by watching Gene Fulmer. His reverse cross arm guard puts his lead hand on top and he uses it to block a ton of different punches and he counters with a hard right hand.
Thanks coach for your lessons. I train in home in the heavy bag with both stances orthodox and the southpaw to improve my performance even i m right handed do i have keep doing that or just train with only the orthodox stance
Dude, just beautiful
Techniques like these are implemented from bare knuckle boxing into sport boxing. Back then, when fighters fought without boxing gloves it was simply a fist fight, where there wasn´t such kind of protection like keeping your glove on the side of your head and roll with your opponents punch to take and absorb his energy. Plus, fighting without gloves doesn´t only lead to less protection of the punching hand on one side as well as less means to block and parry shots on the other side, but also to the need of defending against a much smaller fist, which could easily slip between gaps of your defense. Because of this bare knuckle fighters needed other blocking tactics than todays standard sport boxers. These other tactics envolved elbow blocking, forearm blocking and lead hand lift and punch type blocking. All blocks you would find in traditional east asian martial arts like Kung Fu and Karate. So, today people often bashing over traditional martial arts, calling them impractical compared to combat sports like Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA. And if you would use these blocks as being a newbie in a boxing class, I would bet that they would tell you to switch to a "proper defense" and that you can´t fight like a Karateka in a boxing ring facing an experienced boxer. Such ignorant thinking shows not only lack of historic knowledge but also techncal understanding. Despite the fact, that the art of old school blocking and parrying seems to be lost, there are a bunch of top fighters who used this techniques with great effect. Especially for smaller sized fighters elbow blocks and lifting blocks are good tools for defending whlie closing the gap and counterattacking the exploited openings of the opponent.
Man, I didn't even know you could elbow a block! I need to review my defensive moves and approaches from square 1. Is it a good strategy to focus on getting an impeccable technique for jabs, defense, and basic counter-punch first, before focusing on more advanced punching combos and complex counter-punching?
👍👍👍 Loving the Elbow block options to counter especially the hook to the body 🙏Coach👏 -->>FH
Great Videos. From the perspective of an amateur boxing referee, I have a question about the elbow block. Is there a point where the referee might call (soft caution) the use of the elbow in this manner, especially if the range is close?
0:01 lead hand :elbow /forarm blocks
South vs south same
0:35 forarm or elbow block
1:05 high forarm block
Coubter rt hand head/ body
1:35 all about hip turn for punch /defense ...
Turn waist back / to set up power shot on rt hand
2:40 I can deflect his hand too
3:10 if he thow rt hand/same leadhand defend
3:20 turn him over too/deflect shot
3:50 set up bodyshot
4:30 come back with straight rt hand
4:45 lft shoulder drop beforr body shot /and hips counter clockwise
5:15 I can extend block and turn him....
6:25 block another time
6:45 2 rt hands
6:50 or rt hand / lft hook
7:26 floryd showing it
7:48 very effective block leadhand forearm /elbow block
Lets say my opponent throws a right hand and im blocking with my rear elbow while turning my hip, theoretically i deflect the punch to his right side and hes open for a left hook to the body, and which i am already loaded up for because of my shoulder trajectory.
Is it possible to apply the same concept of blocking to a rear elbowblock or is this a bad idea because i would turn into his powerhand and meet force with force ?
By the way regarding boxing you got the best quality content with the most in depths information and knowledge on youtube .
As per usual your tutorials are perfectly demonstrated and perfectly explained in terms we all can understand.
I have a very serious question Coach.
A) Has anyone from the US Boxing Team contacted you for your help and advice for the young US Boxers vying for the Olympics?
B) Would you be prepared to give up your time if they made you head coach?
I only ask because Team USA could do with someone with your encyclopaedic knowledge of the sport and with your people skills in actually being able to show and tell and drill these fundamentals into the Team.
I saw the 1984 LA Olympians as a kid and believe you could turn around the fortunes of some of our 'future hopes'
I hope I'm not ruffling any feathers but when people like Manny Steward (RIP) were involved we got positive results.
Just a thought. Oh, yes. Make sure they pay you a King's ransom if you accept.
My grandfather was an assistant coach during the 84 Olympics.
Philly shell style is well thank you coach thank this guy wich helped you. I m from Russia and I like your style. And what about Mike Tyson style
yes sir
Hi Coach. The techniques that you are
Sam Langford and Jack Johnson style
Man that liver shot gone hurt! Look how you can generate so much power from your hips core and legs!!
elbow block the right hand , i ve seen it a carlos condit uses it
Hello sir. I am wanting to become a proffesional boxer but i am still yet to step foot in a boxing gym i know i can succeed in boxing but i am 16 years old and i have had no amuture experience and i have also not had any boxing lessons. Even though i want to become a proffesional boxer would you recomend me to join a boxing gym at this age or is is too late to start.
Thank you and have a great day👊
Very similar to a Bong Sau.
Hi coach, is that illegal in amateur boxing? Coz my amateur boxing coach prohobit me using this
Is it legal to block like this in amateur boxing?
Does this work with MMA gloves as well?
Some bare knuckle styles share exactly the same principle so yeah I reckon so...except not many coaches are teaching this stuff any more 😢
What about overhand rights? Can you literally block every straight punch with your lead forearm/elbow as many times as you like?
I’m have a video series coming up on defending and countering the overhand right. You can block the jab and the right hand with the lead forearm/elbow.
Depending on how good you are at it you can block a lot.
As a southpaw,,much of how our minds work is there is no difference to if we are fighting another southpaw or right handers. Though I understand righthanders struggle with that switch.
Interisting points. Though holding the forearm in the way like you did around the 3rd time is something I take advantage of woth fighters. Some hold the forearm put thinking the face and body are safe. I dont carem I will take what you give up. If you give up, then I will take your arms away from you, with that being a focusm pretty soon they will realize they dont like their forearms just being there in the way with taking so much damage. Which then opens up all my other attacks because they dont want their forearms hit anymore as some point soon.
I get a person has to start these moves at some point, though these seem to be done at way to low of a beginner level what could be used against them.
Maybe good to look at how different kungfu styles use these moves with mutable variations and circular motions so to redirect the opponit whole also positioning them better was they circle around with the move.
Then there are Karate styles that actually use their blocks as breaking moves to do maximum damage and even break the arm in their blocks.
At the advance levels you actually do both the smooth kungfu aspect whole the breaking attacking block all as one movement at the same. One move with both aspects.
The elbow can also be used at a means of attack when being used as a block as well.
Also understand when you block you can also strike in mutable ways. It's not block then strike as a beginner its block/strike all as one move with either one hand doing both in one movement or using both hands as one movement. Again this being a more advanced move.
I usually think of my boxing teacher constantly saying too many moves to me all the time. Though doing so, it forced me to keep rethinking how to eliminate extra moves to get mutable aspects addressed in one movement.
The turning in the block to punch is interisting. Maybe in part, not so much power for the punch but to hide the punch from coming? I am asking because turning back to punch harder is a staple in my teaching to not do. Though as in a block with one hand to set the other up for attack is an exception to the rules. Simply put, I was taught to where I did not need to coxk back to hit harder with good form on how to use the body to generate all my power. With that understanding, there is not much room needed, and could easily do an full punch from one inch away the science would still be the same as well as the power. Using the power of my wholdxbpdy in the punch from the ground up.
Also,,with martial arts, there are many ways to grab the arm or wrist, with put actually grabbing it with clenching my hand around it. This can allow for more controle of the opponets arm and controling it to go where I want so to controle their body and movements. And,,if I please, to pull their body offbalance, across my body, and give up their side or back if I wish so to be able to attack from greater angles. Thos putting them in a,position they can only,hope to defend while I am in a power position to be able to attack as I please.
Some styles may coral their wrist around their opponets arm to pull, push, circle around or whatever they may please I seen other styles use just the knock of their wrist to even hook and controle their opponets arms in a simular fashion.
I will say I did like seeing how you did some aspects of your blocking which was very advanced and most wont pick up on. And, most may not understand the important of,,even when told. But, how you were able to block your opponents at their wrist but as your lower forearm position.
Let's also not forget. Thinking you and many people here. I was taught and hope you all were as well the moment you touch the inside or outside of your opponets arms, you already have controle of them and their arm to do as you wish. Even if just a quick flick of their wrost for you to move in with your attack. There are many reasons for why,thos works the way it does. Much of it can easilly be explaine at a psychological and biomechanics level. You tapping their wrist, arm can force them to mentally respond so to not allow you to take such an dominate position, but mentally they can only react, respond after you. Thus putting them one beat behind you. From a biomechanical responce, look up streatch reflex mechanism. It is bases on when the doctor taps your knee with a rubber mallet, and your knee automatically jerks,,kicks out. It's an automatic reflect that most have no controle over. The better you understansxit as a fighter and play with it, the better you can use it to your advantage against your opponet.
Warning. Does not work against people who understands these things at an equal or greater level.
Whos South Paul?
hi coach, i tried this bare knuckle ( fun sparring ) and i got a nice touch right on my lips .. i don't know what i did wrong .. maybe i was too close ? i turned my body , lifted my hand, but his punch slipped right through my arms
Bring your shoulder close to your chin. Ain't no way anything is passing through
@@seetsamolapo5600 thanks , will try
This is legal in boxing match?my coach told Me I cant use my elbow
👍
Elbow block in the street the other guy hurts his hand
Jeetkunndo. That Is
Whooooooooooooah so if I can real life try to break my opponent's knuckles?
Judges today don't seem to care about blocked shots and missed punches. Whoever throw the most wins 😅
I apologize for this comment because the following request isn't directly related to this video. Is there a way to get in touch with the "community" of boxers who watch this channel? Anyone from Paris, France here? I'm looking for someone to practice with (drills first and maybe sparring later on). I've posted requests on social media and asked friends from former boxing clubs: ZERO answers so far. I'm asking this because the last thing I want is to join bands of street guys' late-night gatherings around parks to spar too hard as though it's a rumble or something! :p
@@bobbydigital5236 Unfortunately, I don't have legit boxing gyms near where I live. Besides, I learned total BS in so many boxing gyms before. If the so-called coaches and all everyday run-of-the-mill trainers were doing their job, the Tom Yankellos of the world wouldn't take the time to teach boxing thru UA-cam and other websites. Man, I literally had to unlearn what previous "boxing coaches" taught me (bad form, bad technique, constantly standing or bouncing on your toes, etc.)
If you lift your arm up like that to block you’re going to catch a right hand to the ribs
It’s all about anticipation, body mechanics, positioning and timing. 👈🏼All of those take experience but when in place they make that scenario very difficult. Many professionals use the block and know when and how to make it effective.
One way I've found to reduce the likely hood of that is to step in when you do the block.
think Evander Holyfield used this technique a fair amount
Lol
HAHAHA
