- Able to run 3 miles
- Work on Abs everyday
- Jumping rope every other day
Nice man.
So bad to suggest to do abs more than once a day, or even once a day tbh… unless your training volume is really low, it’s just not sensible in the slightest and will just fatigue you. Every muscle group should be trained every other day so they can rest…
@@tomhardy116 abs recover faster than any other muscle group, so it’s fine to do it every day. Definitely not the other muscles tho
@@QuiteStupid73 Yeah they are 💯 but if your intensity is high, then it’s not sensible irrespective of how quickly abs recover. The same premise with training every day, you’re really supposed to have at least 1 rest day a week so your body can rest - saying to new boxers that training abs every day is good is misleading, because it isn’t. If you train them every other day then you can maintain that for a substantial time but if you train them every single day, you’re likely to need 1-2 rest days a week because that’s simply too much volume to allow for recovery.
Although like I said it’s dependant on intensity. I do callisthenics as well as boxing and if I do a session with a lot of dragon flags and human flags I need a days rest after.
@@tomhardy116 That's true but as a guy who wants to get into boxing most of us newbies aren't gonna be doing something as godly as what you can do with human flags
The biggest thing I learned when sparring was you can be in great cardio shape but if you don’t do a lot of boxing specific workouts your shoulder endurance will fail you before your cardio haha
Interesting, I intend to get into boxing myself and all pro and amateur boxers have told me that maintaiming stamina over 8 to 12 rounds is more important than anything else. I've even heard a wrestler tell me that having stamina for boxing was much harder than wrestling.
@@mrt445very interesting, I think your body will always adapt and become efficient. A boxer would find wrestling much harder and taxing because their body isn't efficient with that kind of movement yet and same thing vise versa
@@Jordancheddar nah fam,boxers are Elite
@@mrt445 it’s not harder but anything that’s what you’re not used to is gonna feel harder
@@Jordancheddar I actually think wrestling would be easier because it's more of a natural sport, you can always go all out when wrestling against someone. Punching someone and having the chin to withstand blows to the head and body whilst having the stamina to go 12 rounds is more taxing on the body because it's not natural.
My tip is just book your first session, don’t think about it. I booked mine. Didn’t think about it until I walked through doors at boxing gym on the day. That was around 5 years ago. Time goes so quickly before you know it you say u been boxing a year. Like look how quickly the last year went. So just pick up your phone and book it now. No excuses. If you wanna do something u find a way. If you don’t, u find an excuse

i would really love to, just waiting for covid to finish
@@chrips154 excuse lol jk
@@Tesla_ofthe_Skies lol, i mean we are in shutdown right now, gotta probably wait a year
I would love to but i cant drive and i really love watching boxing and i had to get some gloves and a bag cz i couldnt wait any longer im pretty sure my form is all wrong tho :( i wish i could just have a car and go everyday :(
Here’s some advice before starting
- jog 2-3 miles
- skip 3 mins 30 second rest x 4
- do some press-ups
- relax and don’t take advice as critisim, you ain’t gunna get everything down in the first 2 mins, don’t stress if you haven’t got it mastered by the first session (no one expects you to be rocky)
skip 3 mins 30 second rest x 4 ? what does that mean lmao? sprint?
@@CASHPABLOG skip for 3 minutes, rest for 30 seconds. Repeat that 4 times ya nitwit
@@CASHPABLOG skip rope
@@CASHPABLOG I think skip means jump rope
Rocky was actually trash for a while too 👀. Everyone’s gotta start somewhere
Tip for beginners, just step in the Gym nothing will happen, you will learn everything with time and discipline 🖤🙏🏼
Not true, I see countless newbies show up to the gym just to get their ass beaten by someone who’s been there for ages. Then they never want to come back
@@ragnar930 thats the coach and the boxers fault, when a new guy steps into our gym, they treat him nice, you can never know what talent hidden in people, also fighter are usually full of discipline and they will not show their power to a new guy, if thats what they doing at your gym, then you need to switch theres a lack of confidence and discipline there, in our club no one will ever use his power against someone with no knowledge, even if the coach hear that you had just a brawl on the street you get kicked out
@@nivm101 I know it’s not supposed to happen but it does in some gyms.
@@ragnar930 I don't deny it, probably not a professional gym, look for a better one bro
"Nothing will happen".
Not so sure, I wager everyone would laugh at my pudgy ass.
Did 30 minutes of "boxing" training with my dad. Felt like I was gonna pass out afterwards. I was just hitting pads not even getting hit lol and I'm lighter than I have been but still it's so hard. That's why I love watching boxers because you have no idea how much stamina it takes to go 3 minutes let alone 12 rounds. Great advice bro
Yup conditioning and learning how to breathe efficiently is the key when starting out. You can learn stances, movement, punches but it means nothing if you gas out in a min
It takes a lot of stamina if u make it take that much if all 12 rounds y’all going at it hard then yeah it’s a lot
coach back in high school on the track trained us jog for 3 minutes at a pace of about 5 miles per hour breathing through your nose only, then he would have us walk for 1 minute taking slow deep breaths through mouth only, to condition your mind on proper breathing technique 10 sets 4 times a week, it was good for me then, it's still good for me today and I'm 62
3 rounds is hard💯
12 rounds is insane..idk how they do it😂
@@tribeofbenjamin6 yep lol.
Deserves more views my guy. I like how he doesn't come off as arrogant but teach this as everyone has a chance 💯

I went to my first boxing gym about 3 months ago and on my first day I passed out completely only from doing jump rope for 15~ minutes. When I came back around they got me on some bikes and I was able to get through an entire 2 and a half out beginner session. I’ve improved so massively in these past 3 months and I feel a lot better about my body and my physical strength than I did before. Highly recommend boxing gyms of all kinds would pass out again 10/10
how u pass out from doing jump ropes for 15 mintues? did u do it straight? lol
@wisewise7121 15 mins is easy af lol what we do to build our cardio is for 20 minutes before we start the session we do skipping then for the last 10 minutes the last 20 seconds of each minute we do double jumps and sprints with the rope of he was severely out of shape tho it makes sense.
To the guy who wrote the comment keep grinding🥊
Update on this since I forgot I wrote this
I ran the broad street run a couple months ago (a 10 mile run) and got a time of roughly 1:20. I’ve gained a lot of muscle these past few months and I’m nowhere near stopping. Thanks for all the love ❤️
Literally the worst thing I did before my first day of boxing training was that I wasn't at all active due to quarantine for 5 months and work. I put in a lot of pounds, and I just stopped on my vices just a day before my first training day. I thought I was gonna die from exhaustion just from my first round of shadow boxing. I've had intense training sessions when I was a basketball varsity, but nothing as taxing as a regular day in boxing training.
Bottom line my boys, you thought you are fit until you try boxing.
Is boxing training harder than basketball?
@@ellietny3238 two completely different sports, two completely different demands but generally, I'd say yes, boxing training is harder than basketball, basing on my experience. I'd even say generally, combat sports/martial arts training are harder than any sport but thats just my opinion.
@@ellietny3238 the main reason combat sports is more physically and cardio demanding is because you need to give and take shots
Getting hit once can take all the "marathon or basketball cardio" out of you if your body is not conditioned at all to get hit hard
Man I remember thinking I had good stamina keeping up with running because of football and turns out that stamina is completely different from being in the ring, within the first 2 rounds I was gassed and got ate up with body shots from my sparring partner glad I got better man love all of my boxers takes a lot to get in there
i had the same feeling with wrestling i thought im fit ,lifting weights did jogging too regulary And after my first wrestling traning i almost threw up and hardly could stand 😅
Is it me, or does coach have bigger forearms than biceps?!
Probably from years of jump-roping
popeye
Damn youre looking at another dude's forearms like that ....going out sad
his forearms are resting on his knees so it makes them look bigger
@@jojomojo5213 how its nearly impossible to not see his arms his body is infront of the camera
As a coach for something completely unrelated I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Because you talked about 1) Uncommon Sense 2) Not doing what everyone else is doing 3) Basic Principles and you kept it very simple. Excellent video
Thank you coach!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏽
I’m never punching the heavy bag again only jump rope and abs and running that’s crazy thanks you for educating me man 🙏🏽💯
Thank you for this, this brings confidence to me to approach this sport and get into a good shape because I’ve always loved the sport of boxing so thank you!
Conditioning is everything
Great video! I wanted to get into boxing and these beginner tips are exactly what I’ve been looking for
did this before getting into the gym for the first time (8 months ago) now im winning my first amateur fight, thank you coach
Anytime brother, enjoy the journey God bless!!
#nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏼
I think it’s important to do sprints and calisthenics as well before entering the gym just so you can have an anaerobic and aerobic base as well as a base in strength. And good video ✊🏽
Not at all, better to start as soon as possible. You can sprint and all that alongside it. Don’t wait to start.
The only way to Heaven is to be born again by saying out loud "Jesus is Lord" and believing in ur heart that God rose Him from the dead then you must live for Him i suggest getting baptized, repenting(asking for forgiveness of your sins and making a radical turn from ur sin), fasting (doesnt have to be from food), evangelizing(spreading the Gospel), praying, and reading the Bible. God and Jesus love all of you hmu with any questions have a good day God bless✝️❤️❤️ good works dont get u to Heaven God's grace does John 3:16
Colossians 2:6
Romans 10:9
@@harrisonpinder8886 If ur running 3 miles u should follow it up with sprints and calestenics after.
@@coolkid-cp7dq This will injure you. Wrong way round. The intense exercise should come before, not after. Jog to cool off, sprint first. Doing it your way is asking to pull something.
@@117Industries I would run a 2 mile bleacher run, (8 laps around the track with all the bleacher stairs in between) follow it up with sprints and calisthenics, i did that 3-4 days a week for 2 months i was in olympic shape, tapered off at the end. right in time for basketball season.
Thanks for the info seeing as I’m green in boxing at the moment. Glad I found this channel timing is everything !
AWESOME advice Coach V. Thank you.
Thanks coach! This helped a lot. Been looking for advice on the matter for a while now.
I'm an average athlete. I do around 8-12 hours of BJJ each week, and I start boxing tomorrow. I'm excited, especially since I don't have any striking training at all. I know it'll be a whole new world, so I'm glad that you've uploaded these tips. Can you do more, like what to expect in the gym or boxing etiquette?
Yeeap. I just found the video on what to expect hahaha.
God-bless brother enjoy the journey it is the total opposite of grappling. Having both of those skills on the bill will make you a complete fighter and some of that grappling stuff can be useful in boxing fighting in the pocket. Boxing gym etiquette coming up thanks for the idea!!
#nodaysoff 🥊📈💪🏽
@Cash Quest it was tiring in ways I didn't expect. I definitely had to use some muscles that I've never much had uae for before. Oh, I also ended up taking kickboxing, as the coach suggested.
Also, I already knew that the stamina required in striking is quite different than in grappling. Still, it's a whole other world actually experiencing it.
Edit: I enjoyed the drills. I'm the type of girk who learns better from repetitive drills so... yeah
Should I do BJJ and boxing at the same tine?
@@cvo7617 yes
"Don't throw punches without a boxing gym"
Me who has been hitting a heavy bag since I was 12 and now 17 without a coach: Oh, shit.
Exactly the same here lmao
yea ur dumb!
@@unalives Wow, you really got him good.
He's right and wrong on that, if you have a mind for it you can easily get really good without a boxing gym. I've been working on my striking for more than 10 years on a bag and always asking questions and watching videos as well. I also watched fights in boxing and even UFC just studying and trying what these higher end fighters do. For me personally it worked wonders and I've had people in my Jiu Jitsu club thinking I actually took boxing and came from a boxing club even the black belts in my club comment monthly on how quick I progress. It can depend on the person, I don't doubt you're decent at boxing if we were to do a light spar
Now you gotta do 5 years of training in a gym to undo it
Ay keep this straight to the point style in your vids man very refreshing
I am nearly 32 years old, horribly out of shape, and never been in a fight before. I am considering joining a boxing gym to help me lose weight and help me gain more confidence in myself. I think the most important thing that you said in this whole video was to not practice any punches. I am definitely going to start working more on my cardio at Crunch Fitness and see if I can run 3 miles within a month or two. Thank you for the advice.
Any updates?
Made progress?
Man what can i say just simply i am so pleased that i found someone who is trying to share this wonderfull sport in whole world man keep doing what you are doing i will support you also. Reason why this has so much worth to me cause i lost my job and the God Jesus, help with one think that i was not aspecting it so i want to share my lifejourney to all! Pls i wish you all good mood, healty and happynes

@@coachv3436 man id love to learn boxing and im sure id help my fat ass get in shape but i got brain problems. scared might get hit in the haeed and have a seizure
This is the most solid strait to the point advice I seen.
I'm looking to start up boxing for excercise after a year in quarantine and have been getting my base fitness up first and this was unbelievably helpful
This is such underrated advice. You can tell he been through it
Dude seems really smart and just cool overall. Curious to see where his fight IQ is sitting at
I knew he was foreal when he stated start with endurance and stamina, got alot of weed, cig smokers, and alcoholics that couldnt run up the block from getting high and drunk thinking there mayweather. I felt that shit I need to start running/ jogging foreal, the weather is getting nice out.
You can tell dude isn’t new to any of this and he does it out of love/passion there isn’t much money in owning a gym or being a coach which speaks volumes to his character w/o every speaking to this man

I’ve been thinking of joining a kickboxing gym for years and just discovered s local one, this video is exactly what I needed, thank you for advice about getting loose and getting cardio up.
This gentlemen seems legit he’s not trying to bullshit and seems genuine wish everyone could be like him
This was an extremely informative video and very helpful 👍
I just started boxing for the first time last week. After one class here’s what i noticed. First off, I used to run and have insane cardio and stamina. It’s been a couple years since then but the cardio has stuck with me quite a bit as I work in the trades and am constantly pushing myself. Dude is most certainly totally correct about not even trying to start throwing until you get to the gym. Seems like it was a good way to develop bad habits and strain on your wrists. After my first class i gotta say, my arms were BEAT. The short head of my biceps are still sore as hell and last time i trainer was 4 days ago. My chest (abs/serratus) are also still a little achy but better than my arms. This guy is definitely right about making sure you’re at least capable of lasting the whole session in terms of your overall stamina and i could see how doing abs/running 3mi ever other day would be beneficial, but there are also BIG fellas in the gym that ik would be dead after a mile. I guess it depends on your own weight/physique but don’t let all that discourage you from starting. Even if you can’t run 3 miles boxing will definitely help you get some cardio back, but if you wanna be the best you’re gonna have to put in that work on your own time without a trainer. I don’t know a damn thing about boxing besides my few classes but as a beginner it’s tough, but not impossible. I put it off for so long thinking i wouldn’t be ready and then i just did it. Best decision i’ve made in ages.
man I've been in the gym for almost a decade and have the worst stamina. My heavy arms + bad stamina will definitely gives me hell the first day of boxing training. Still excited for it tho
boxing is the best workout
I needed this.
I truly believe that this is the best advice someone gave on this topic
Thanks for the advice, my friend recommended me a gym that’s opening back up at the start of summer glad I’ve got some time to prepare
I’ve been learning through UA-cam vids and turns out I’m a quick learner and kind of a natural at it. I studied the techniques and even film myself to see if I have good form and if not I always change things and adjust. Haven’t joined a gym and took boxing lessons yet but when I do join I feel confident in myself and think I’ll progress a lot since it’s a huge passion of mines :)
just do it. just do itttt
what videos do use to learn how to box please? im trying to learn as well.
Needed this, I’ve always told everyone ima be a boxer when I’m older, and I keep by my word, since 14 I taught myself how to jump rope, build my endurance and cardio, technique and footwork(which of course I understand I will needa coach for it) and I needa jump on it with my weight and such. I keep telling everyone I’ll be the best boxer in the next 10 years, I’ll stand by my word.
Thats wassup bro 💪🏾
Do that shit bro, why not you?!
Give it up. You're never gonna make it.

@@numba1punta110 bro stfu
for the past week ive been watching this video every morning and im becoming a lion man love you 💪🏼
Wow thank you for the advice truly appreciate you🙏
I am in great physical condition, my job is very active, I workout 5-6 times a week, and my heart rate recovery is above average. However, my first 30 minute boxing workout consisting of 10 rounds of 2 minutes each with a 1 minute rest in between, I was destroyed. Boxing is a whole other level of cardio and takes a lot of muscle endurance too (mainly shoulders) I recommend newbies alternate between the orthodox stance and use the philly shell when they get tired to give their shoulders a chance to rest. Other than that good luck to ya!
Another thing that is overlooked is just simple calisthenics. Days you arent running push ups and pull ups can be a great way to build some baseline form of strength and muscle to those guys who havent really been that active before.
Your wise words have motivated me to go jogging by the riverside👊🏾
I’m so glad I saw this video. I’m going start implementing everything
Permanently injured my wrist by boxing before instruction. Very important!!!
This is great advice. Started maybe 9 months ago, was in decent shape, but got gassed after a round of light sparring. Gotta run..adding sprints/hills will help you progress faster.
Abs so you can take body shots and move quickly with slips/rolls
Jumprope has become a hobby of mine since I started as well (took a couple months to get good) and i can hang w the best of them. Its also helped me to be a lot lighter on my feet when I spar💯🥊
Also..just do it💪🏼
Great advice! Thank you sir
Thank you appreciate this. Planning on starting boxing in collage definitely going to be implementing this into my training
This is if Lonzo ball and Austin Rivers have a baby

Thanks man so simple and straight forward. Earned a new sub🔥
Great advice, I've tried mma gyms and never had anyone judge me for not being as good as them or struggling. Everyone's there to learn so like everyone says just give it a shot.

Just clicked here and have just listened less than a minute. ABSOLUTE, the single best advice...and that goes for martial arts as well. I will go one step further: It takes 4 times the task, and it is tedious as can be, to unlearn a bad habit, than it does to struggle a bit with learning properly. Im going to listen to the rest of the video now. Subscribed... Great first point!
Much appreciated brother 💯💯💪🏽
He is right im unlearning a lot of wrong technique from trying to so it on my own
Great advice my man. Well said
You're absolutely right, it makes perfect sense but it wasn't the case with me, i used to watch tutorials and train at home (shadow boxing and heavybag) i used to video record myself and than compare what im doing to the tutorials and lessons i watch on UA-cam than try to adjust and fix the mistakes i do and it actually helped me learn almost all the basics the right way, it didn't take too long for me to start with the advanced stuff when i joined the boxing club, ofc there were some adjustments here and there but nothing too big. And btw thanks for the vuds dude keep em coming.
i'm 18 , i have 9 years of experience in karate and i'm getting into muay thai , bought a heavybag but i'm confident in my form
Very good I did a few different martial arts before I got into boxing movie tie will definitely step up your game on the performance side!

As a person who has been into boxing for awhile many beginners think they Alr know everything when they haven’t done any type of boxing. I used to be the same way when I first started there’s so much that goes into boxing that many don’t know about I have massive respect for this sport. Just be humble
So true about the fitness Coach!
If I may, and certainly not to step on your toes Sir…..BURPEES too.
They’re hateful, but man they do give you wind. The ring is a very lonely place when you’re out of gas and have another 2 rounds to go. Yes, speaking from experience.

I joined a boxing gym before watching this video. Definitely wish I got my cardio up before hand but thankfully I'm building it up quickly by boxing. Hopefully I'll be able to get my technique right afterwards.
The point about the muscle memory and throwing 10000 wrong punches is so valid, and can imagine so many do exactly what he's just said, you don't wanna have to be untraining bad habits before you can learn even the basics

April fools.
how is it under covid times? Im still wary, if it werent for covid, i would have joined in a minute

I didnt know we could or even should work on our abs everyday. I always thought every other day at most. Im guna try every day out. Thanks
i used to do them first 4 days a week

It's a muscle group that is used almost constantly anyway so it's fine to train them everyday. You can do calves and legs everyday also. Just rotate the intensity and don't over do it.

I mean rotate as in schedule, some days it should be more focused and intense and others a lighter workout to avoid overdoing it or injurys.

As someone who did not do all those things before I started, I can not express how true this video is. I really wished I had seen it before I started lol

Simple. To the point. I like it 👌🏾
You seem like a great coach and great dude. Wish I could learn under you.

How did the class go bro?
5 days since you updated. Would really love to know.
Dont give up. Cut calories (also eat healthy whole foods) and intermittent fast, and you will shed weight like its nothing
The fact that you started boxing while overweight, i gotta give props to you bro. How did it go?
I only do half a mile everyday when I can , and I can still do boxing yes I'm tired but I still keep going .
Thanks for the video Im looking into getting into boxing not only to lose weight, But I bottle my anger up and I think hitting some shit would really help me relieve some stress

Keep up good work and it will all payoff boxing is a lifestyle!!
Thanks bro, said some stuff i needed to hear
Very helpful my dude. Thank you!
Very informative video. I lift weights 4 days a week and started running again. I used to run a mile in 8 minutes but now it takes me 16 minutes. Didn't know abs should be done everyday. I was thinking about joining mayweathers boxing club in my area but I think $150 dollars a month is steep. I always wondered how boxers move up in weight class and don't gain weight in their abdominal area. When sugar ray fought hagler he gained 15 pounds but his waistline had no fat around it. As for me, I'll be 60 yrs old in november but I still like exercising.
Before i started muay thai in a gym i was training myself in muay thai for a year with a heavy bag at home. My technique came natural to me. I was watching youtube videos about form and technique and i was really working on it everyday in the mirror so you van buy a heavybag just know you gotta pay attention to every little detail. Starting in the gym would be easyer because your trainer watches you. But you really can come far at home but you just gotta put more work and time in it.
I think you should train in a gym and have a heavy bag at home so you can train when you want how you want and you probably will try more new things when you are training alone at home
Scary man, when you get to the point that a kick is light like a jab and feels like a flicker that wailing a nervy hammer
@@constancemcduffin8500 yes i was already on that point before i ever set foot in a gym
@@mazehaze. yup. i also learned proper punching technique just from watching videos online. I think you're correct that its perfectly fine to and id say even good to work on your own as long as you are paying attention to proper technique and form. If you're just throwing punches wildly though with no form or feedback, then it is very bad.
