  • Boxing rhythm is a difficult term to define because it encompasses more than one aspect of the sweet science. This video should hopefully help you have a greater understanding of it and why it's important.

      Former Karate and 1st Heavyweight Kickboxing Champion
      Joe Lewis who Bruce Lee taught JKD principles said he hit like a Heavyweight and you couldn't touch him as people that trained with Bruce attested. Bruce Lee was more concerned being the best Streetfighter. That's why he drew from Wing Chun, Boxing , Wrestling,Muay Thai,Savate and fencing among other arts and styles.

      Rhythm and footwork are interrelated. As many of the comments say, Bruce Lee and Sugar Ray Robinson are exceptional dancers. We can also add to that list, Vasiliy Lomachenko whom his father recommended to take up Traditional Ukrainian dance. Also there are videos of Roy Jones Jr. shadowboxing and practicing footwork according to the beats of his favorite rap music.

    I'm a big fan when boxers set a predictable rhythm then spontaneously break that rhythm to land effective and clean punches. Roberto duran comes to mind and even tripple G. It's such a gem that levels up your game.

    I use a drum loop app when training, set to 175 beats per minute (bpm). The constant rhythmic beat stops me from easing off at the end of rounds, and i learned to move my hands and my feet together quite naturally and in rhythm with one another so that my body flows quite easily. I've been doing this for so long that i know the tempo quite precisely even when the app is not on.

    Like Bruce Lee said, and I roughly quote.. "How do I express myself FULLY, through only ONE style, through only one type of taught movement"? I always go back to that interview..Why not use dance? Why not mimic the movements of the other creatures we coexist with? Take what is useful, and CONSIDER the rest. Our entire planet and everything on it is bound to rhythm. Vibrations traveling through our planet, though everything living and dead. Through our bodies, and that includes our brains.. Yknow I saw a video of a bridge get collapsed by a rhythm device. It produced rhythmic vibrations that turned to a swinging pattern of energy in motion, and poof. The whole thing went. Pretty sure thats why sound-weapons are globally banned too. There is a greater energy to tap into through the use of rhythm. Just like there is energy in a breath of air. Energy for speed or power. To use for respite, to find calm, or fuel for another blaze, find courage.. And like the concepts of yin and yang, rhythms greatest enemy, and lover, is chaos... Rhythm truly is everything, even in combat.

    One of the most overlook thing especially as a beginner boxer like me. Good thing my coach is technically well-sound and preaches rhythm a lot especially when I spar. I am naturally aggressive brawler and likes to smash on the inside and because of that i usually lose my rhythm especially when my opponent jabs a lot and has good setups.

      Try playing music in your training til you find songs that fit your rhythm, then play them in your head when you lose your rhythm to get it back. Same thing can be applied to establishing opponent’s rhythm.

    I believe it was Gloria Estefan who said "Rhythm is gonna get you." But in all seriousness great break down. I believe rhythm, understanding distance and footwork are paramount in combat sports. Have you ever come across the discussion about the rhythm step and the issues fighters seem to develop around it. It would make for a great video.

    • @BoxingLife
      @BoxingLife  2 роки тому

      Thanks man! Yeah of course, if feel there are many issues with the rhythm step. Examples of it going bad include Pacquiao getting knocked out vs Marquez as an example. He was able to read his rhythm as he came into range. Or a more recent example off the top of my head is Inoue vs Moloney. However, as much as it can be bad thing, it can also be a good thing, it can help you quickly get out of range, change the angle or set up a punch. The point I make at 4:48 applies to this too. If you keep doing the same thing constantly, eventually it will get picked up on. Especially at the elite level. Every method has positives and negatives (Everything is also situational.) Should probably do a video around this too lol.

    "There is rhythm in everything, but the rhythm of Heiho is something which you cannot gain mastery over without practice.
    The rhythms of the path of dance, of the minstrels, and of the wind and string instruments are among the commonly known and obvious ones.
    In the path of martial arts also, there are rhythm and timings... .
    The rhythm with which things progress and the rhythm with which things deteriorate should be understood and differentiated.
    There are many rhythms in Heiho. It is one of the main tasks in Heiho to first of all learn the rhythm which is appropriate and differentiate it from those rhythms which are inappropriate,... and which rhythm will cause the circumstances to be overturned. Your mastery of Heiho cannot be considered firm unless you understand the rhythm with which you can avoid being drawn into the rhythm of the opponent.
    Victory is achieved in the Heiho of conflict by ascertaining the rhythm of each opponent, by attacking with a rhythm not anticipated by the opponent, and by the use of knowledge of the rhythm of the abstract."

    What do you mean by ryhtm? A pattern? A organization of attack? A set up to make you opponent move?
    For example the wording in boxing terms of making an angle is simply using movement to go for an opening or creating that opening. To this day i dont understand what rythm means but im all about sticking and moving.

    Some casual fans will hate me but one of the best fights I saw using rhythm was mayweather vs. pacquiao. Although floyd is not as fast as his younger self, floyd managed to perfect his craft. Studying floyd is like pure class chess. He’s sometimes boring to watch to casual fans but to me, he was pure brilliance. Floyd dictated most of the fight by setting traps as his rhythm. Manny had no answer because he wanted to brawl. Hate me for this comment but just so you know I’m a filipino so i dont care what anybody say. The fight was a chess game.
