I've just started teaching my girl , who is a little outta shape and I agree with u, u must make it fun to keep them interested, much thanks Sydney Australia.
Great simple advice ! I done boxing for about 6 years in my younger days and the trainer was excellent on the pads , another trainer who held the pads would , as you describe “ be like a brick wall “ and would hurt my wrists as I punched hard , and it really pissed me off ! I hate holding the pads for a hard puncher as I suffer from tennis elbow ! So some good tips , as I would just hold pads and let the other person smash them , and suffer in pain !
Great video! I’m a trainer that’s been using mitts for a while with my clients, but because many of my clients are middle-age soccer moms they like to punch more for fun and stress relief than to be good at it. Also their punches don’t carry a lot of force…so it’s easy for me. Now I work in a gym with a lot of young college guys that want me to be their pad partners and we are having a blast BUT they punch considerably harder lol. I’m alright catching punches with my right hand but dude…when they hit me with a left hook it feels like they are going to take my arm off. I would love for you to make a video emphasizing how to use the mitts safely on big hitters with our weak arms/hands. Thanks dude!
Thanks for putting all these class videos up lads. It’s a massive help when you’re starting out training at home and want to get into it and do it right. 👍
im 37yrs old train with my wee mate he 21yr but more experiance he southpaw n av promised to practise a get nervous energy doin pads sumhow my breathing of it defo mental blocks cheers off to check tonys one now cheers mate
YESSSSS!! This was EXACTLY what I was looking for!! My friend and I are noobs trying to learn mitts/boxing/fit ess and this was one of those questions I just could not find an answer to! Especially about where to hold the mitts! Thanks!
hey Lynne, thanks for sharing that, all the best with the classes. Check out the Connect link in description if running group classes, might be worth looking into as an option for your gym, thanks for the support 👊🏻
Excellent advice, Glenn. Just what I needed to hear. I am a PT rather than a boxing coach - I use pad work for stress relief and general fitness rather than to train a boxer but it is all relevant. Keep up the good work and thanks again!
Great video! When teaching a Southpaw doesn’t standing in Orthodox make it more realistic? As they would be facing mostly orthodox boxers? I have noticed it is very difficult to get the cross to get full extension standing orthodox. Thanks for the great content!
Loved this video mate!!!! I have just started coaching and have seen another coach using his rear pad to catch straight punches and lead pad for hooks and upper cuts! I have tried to emulate and have mastered the straight shots but I am wondering if you could.do a video 9n how to get the other shots flowing using this tecnique
there's a vid on my channel about developing the lead hand that uses the lead pad for uppercut & hook, check that out, but if you can explain a bit more what you mean here, i'll def do a video on it mate, thanks for the feedback
Hi Coach H, thanks a lot for those amazing videos! One question, how do you hold the pads when your opponent is much taller than you? If I am holding it high, my arm does not give proper resistance. Should I ask them to lower their stance to meet me where I am instead? Thanks a lot!
thanks for watching & commenting 👊🏻 don’t ask them to lower their stance, it’s on you to keep the mitts at the right height for them, but yea with a taller client it can be harsh on the shoulders, try using paddles instead
Is it possible to have a video on how to properly hold paddles for taller clients? Any recommendations on which paddles to purchase? Thanks a lot@@GlennHolmesLA !
I catch the 1-2 with the same mit. Otherwise the jab is to one side and for the cross you turn to the other side. As if you are punching to people heads standing next to each other.
mostly the same concepts apply, but if sparring then dominating with the lead foot, getting it outside the lead foot of opponent is key, also controlling the jab
hello mate, welcome to the channel, thanks for your comment, check this video out that explains some of the benefits of mittwork for boxing: ua-cam.com/video/jb488Z_yHk8/v-deo.html

Great video! When teaching a Southpaw doesn’t standing in Orthodox make it more realistic? As they would be facing mostly orthodox boxers? I have noticed it is very difficult to get the cross to get full extension standing orthodox. Thanks for the great content!
in terms of fighting yes, in terms of fitness, no. The reason being, when you mirror the stance it allows better range & form for the boxer
Brilliant advice,
thx mate 👊🏻
Love it!

Hey you're buddy with Tony Jeffries?💪🖖.
Nevermind I just saw him. I have a bad habit of commenting in the first few seconds of videos 😅
haha yes Tony is my business partner with our Academy & Connect boxing fitness companies mate, thanks for watching 👊🏻
👍🏼
Any tips on working wit southpaws????
mostly the same concepts apply, but if sparring then dominating with the lead foot, getting it outside the lead foot of opponent is key, also controlling the jab
Hi... new to boxing how does mits benefit the boxer ... reflexes?
hello mate, welcome to the channel, thanks for your comment, check this video out that explains some of the benefits of mittwork for boxing: ua-cam.com/video/jb488Z_yHk8/v-deo.html
Got a bit of headache holding mitts with a heavyweight guy, maybe im too tensed..
yeah relax, give plenty of resistance, keep the combos simple, use footwork a lot & stay on your own strength training & hydration!
I wish you would’ve said that “coaches/pad holders/trainers” should learn to hold pads from both sides (orthodox and southpaw)
great point mate, i'll do a video just on that, thx for the feedback
hey glenn i want can you teach kids boxing style
and soon you hit 1k subscribers
hi Tek, i will definitely make a video on this mate 👍🏻
Where did you get those mitts?
they're my own mittts, they're available here mate: store.boxnburn.com/collections/equipment-accessories/products/glenn-holmes-dia-de-los-muertos-mitts
