Been an athlete, pugilist, mma , self defense man all my life . My Dad was professional boxer. I'm almost 74 years of age, and am always looking to learn more , thanks a lot Tony !!!
That "throwing a straight punch" tip is the best example i've ever seen of an extremely simple concept that will transform everything. When you watch the 4 clips at the beginning, they're all throwing telegraphed haymakers. But, god damn, nothing is as fast and effective as a speedy straight forward jab. Tony, you're a legend for all this man, thanks for everything
#2 is spot on. You'd be surprised how slow a big haymaker looks when its thrown at you by someone who has no idea what they're doing. If you're relaxed and your adrenaline is kicking in I swear it can almost look like its slow motion. Be confident, don't hesitate and throw a straight right down the middle. You'll stop that idiot in his tracks real quick.
@@neilhughes3823 exactly if you are already trying to duck that overhand might as well throw the cross to the body before you throw a left hand over the top or circle.
I haven't been in a street fight or indoor fight in over thirty years. This video might come in handy. I think I'm gonna go out there tomorrow and pick a fight so i can put his teachings to the test
Appreciate all the pointers, mate! As my late dad used to say, hope for the best (avoid fight if possible), prepare for the worst (win the fight if necessary). Knowledge equals Success, Ignorance produces Failure. Thanks for instilling empowering, street savvy knowledge, Tony. Cheers from across the pond!
Thanks Tony! I’m two weeks into training in a garage, but I’m loving the technical aspect to every scenario. Street fight smarts at home training makes for a better workout and a smarter fighter.
When I was a young boy I was so fortunate to have a boxing champion for a father. He taught me everything I needed to know and as a teenager and later in the military it came in very useful. I’m still here and some others aren’t. Unfortunately boys today don’t normally have that advantage so this channel is invaluable.
You said that perfectly. I’m a skinny and smaller guy whose got two new children at home I gotta stick around for. Figured I needed to learn to defend myself and my family in case anything ever happens and it’s a lonely but rewarding journey. Progress is progress is what I tell myself everyday.
We deliver punches from a different stance in raw combat international but aside that every point this man makes is spot on, as an ex bouncer of 18 years I can with confidence say I've been in hundreds of violent encounters and have managed to come out on top in almost all scenarios due to boxing being a staple in my self protection training, fact is if you strike properly and practice most street fights will end after a jab or cross typically, most thugs are not trained athletes accustomed to taking heavy blows, my last encounter with a violent offender ended with my left jab, I should also mention I stand at about 5ft7in and weigh approximately 165lbs, not a big man by any standard, practice your striking with a good coach and keep at it, when you need it the most it will work for you.
I'm around the same height as you but weigh considerably less. It's a real issue for me, because usually if I ever have any confrontation the dude is bigger. It's more a confidence thing, which is why I try to avoid issues most of the time, even when it feels I'm backing down.
Being an Asian and my friends are sometimes not let into busy clubs. Fortunately I knew the manager and asked for him but the bouncer told all of us to fuck off. I asked again and he pushed me back hard. This guy was 6'3" 250 Italian, my friend stepped in and knocked him out with a punch straight to his jaw. He's 5'7" maybe 150. My friend finally came out saw me and fired him on the spot. He couldn't hear him he was out cold so we carried him to the parking lot and left him.
If you have been in hundreds of violent encounters it's probably because you go around starting shit with people because you know they will underestimate you, standing at 5'7". That's nothing to brag about, it makes you an asshole. I'm 43 years old, live in a low income inner city neighborhood in a major US city and I haven't been in a fight since I was in my early 20s. When you know you are equipped to handle a fight you get in more fights because you take it for granted you will win. One day you'll run into another boxer o the street without knowing it and then you stop waking around liking for trouble cuz you'll allow for the possibility that you are the one who's gonna get beat up.
Another tip I give to my kids; always imagine the shot before you throw the punch. Run it through your head. At the same time imagine what your next shot will be, as planning one step ahead of your oponent is a great advantage. A light kick to knee joint can cause immense pain. Try and save your energy, most oponents are exhausted after 60 seconds that's when you can finish the fight.
Lol you don’t have time to “think” in a fight. Telling your kids that is gonna have someone kicking their shit in while they worry about “ooh my next move”. gaining consistency in combat effectiveness relies completely on muscle memory. unless you get them into some defense class or have them sparring constantly then you’re just doing some old man gum flapping about things you don’t really know and actually setting them up for disaster against anyone even slightly more aggressive than them. Don’t put them in an embarrassing situation for listening to dad. When tony says “think about it” he means to think about it before it happens and stay visualizing and practicing. Not think during like your James Bond doing a slow motion karate equation.
@@Reece-2002 I feel like judo and other takedown-oriented styles are severely undervalued for street defense. Imagine getting slammed onto solid concrete
@@Reece-2002 It depends where the street fight is happening .. is it in short range like lets say you're waiting in a line, or in small space/crowded area? Is it in open space like lets say Bball court or parking lot? If its in close range, hands down it will come down to striking like elbows, headbutt, eye gauge, pushing/wrestling... this is where grapple like Judo will def take control. If its in open space, all day box that fools head off with jabs, straights, hooks and even kicks if the person knows how to kick properly. I've done Judo, Kokushin Karate younger years and trained in boxing and no doubt Boxing Judo is the most effective combat system in real life scenarios. ✌️👊
Oofff that's a great tip works wonders or so I've been told gets you planning where they are moving too so you can use their motion to make it even better and then into the next technique
@@corpsefoot758 going to ground is one of the worst things you can do in a street fight. His boys will jump in and you’re going to be taking kicks to the face whilst you’re preoccupied with the guy you’ve got grappled on the floor. Best to stay on your feet, use your striking when there are openings and be ready to leg it out of there.
Besides working out 4 days a week I hit the punching bag every day and listen to people like you who know more than me about this particular subject good video thank you
In street fights most people resort to wide hooks. I found mastering the one two straight combo does the job. Even if it doesn't knock them out there is a good stunning effect getting hit in the nose and mouth right out of the gate. EDIT: He mentioned this in step 2 in the video. I jumped the gun on my comment.
Not true. A lot of people imitate what they see boxers and mma fighters do. They even practice (bad) shadow boxing to get better at doing it and making it look good. You can see plenty of street fight videos of dudes looking like they are trained boxers until they throw their 1st punch and it all falls apart😂
Had my wifes ex husband try to fight me in a walmart parking lot , came up to me stiff legged and shaking , you said it best when short punches do the most damage , he swung wide and i ducked it , hit him with a short straight jab and gave him a 2 inch split under his left eye , staggered him back and he tried coming back with a hail mary , so i snuck a left and right jab in there quick before his swing came forward , needless to say i may be a disabled veteran but there are some things you dont lose with age , great video sir
@@staceybishop5944 if you knew the physical and mental abuse he caused my wife youd probably beat his ass too , not to mention the perverted things he says to his daughters, we tried avoiding him but he crossed the parking lot just because he saw us and he calls me the "fake veteran" ..surely showed him otherwise , side note he had my stepdaughters with him when he tried attacking me and had been drinking with them in the car going to walmart ...this guy is psychotic and delusional, classic narcissistic actions
One of the first things we learn in martial arts when we discuss boxing. It's better to hit fast than hit hard. Being hit, in itself, is demoralizing. If you can get in a few hits right off the bat in a fight it immediately puts you in a superior position. Everyone is brave until they get punched in the face, no matter how hard it is :)
Tony you're the only UA-cam teacher who gets right to it. I appreciate not having to scroll through four minutes of BS to get to the meat of the lesson. Great videos as always
Your first skill learned should be how to avoid getting into such dangerous situations. Then apply what you’ve learned here if you’ve done everything else to avoid the scenario.
Thank you, Tony, always appreciate the straight to the point information, and this technique is something I can use without months or years of training.
Hey Tony, first of all thanks for your hard work and the videos! Your passion for boxing and teaching it is inspiring and I've taken bits and pieces of your heavy bag workouts to make my routine more practical. I appreciate you!
I saw a pro boxer tears ago fight a young guy who apparently had no experience. The guy started swinging wide and crazy, the boxer dodged them and knocked him cold out with a left hook. Amazing stuff.
I've trained Muay Thai for 13 years. The last time I was out and someone tried to start trouble with me I assumed my typical Muay Thai stance and the guy knew enough to recognize it and just said "fuck that" and apologized. Even an untrained eye can see when someone is confident in what they're about to do to you. The best outcome is that your demeanor alone stops the fight before it starts. 😆
thats a very true point. ive stopped 2 bar fights from happening by my posture and one mugging where a guy was hiding a knife in his sleeve. saying and doing the right thing can most def derail someone's attempt to come at you. its called disrupting the OODA cycle
Thanks very much Tony. Practical and useful techniques explained in simple terms in the street fight context, including the 'why' as well as the 'how.' Great how you come at it from a self defence good guy perspective, and tell the bullies where to go (I've told my Daughters about your channel as well). I'm hooked mate, respect 👍
Tony! In your career did any coaches ever talk to you about “Rhythm Stepping”? Some say 90% of boxers do it and it’s the WORST habit to get into. Cheers for all the great free content you post!
If you learn to attack on the "off beat" of your rhythm, you will confuse someone who's trying to time you. That may be a different thing that you're referring to though. I actually learned this from hesitating on an attack one time. I was going after him with a certain rhythm when I stopped (due to hesitating in my step/footwork) but my opponent moved just like I was going to do what I hadn't.
Can't thank u enough for this advice.. had to use it for real couple days ago and it really helped me out , that 6 yr old didn't Stand a chance ..was like lightning ⚡⚡
too many people out there taking abuse from arse holes with bad attitudes makes sense to at least learn how to throw one decent punch, keep up the good work jeffries
Very good advice Tony, i am probaly around your age..you are a impressive guy. i am not a boxer but, did get basic training in martial arts and you are right ...staying calm is so important. I am a carpenter..not a fighter, however got attacked by 3 guys ..i won because i remained calm , maintained stance , and fought back. So anybody watching Tony... listen to him😎😎
I have been practicing Martial Arts for decades, and I confirm that Mr. Jeffries' instruction is correct and to the point giving you the essence of fighting in a nutshell.
Same, and very good advice! Only thing I would suggest is in street fight better to defend with open hands instead of closed fists. Easier to parry, grab, redirect and actually even striking with open hand can sometimes be better and safer in a street fight
@@butcheyler23 Correct. Of course Mr. Jeffries being a boxer is not so very familiar with open hand fighting but a Martial Artist should be and should indeed be able to use to his advantage.
In terms of extending the arm fully, I've always felt Mike Tyson gave good advice; punch through the target. Great video again coach, looking forward to the next one👍🥊🏴
But isn’t that because the cushioning of gloves forces boxers to overcompensate If you even land a millimeter or two of knuckle into their face, it’s gonna make them reconsider their next move for sure
Hello from Canada! I just discovered your channel and loved this video and subscribed. Great information for people! Very simple, but very necessary. I remember my first big fight in high school. I made a huge mistake and it almost cost me dearly. I gave the guy an uppercut just like the straight jab you showed us. I was going for the chin, but knocked out his 4 too teeth. He had to spit a couple out, then his friends start picking up his teeth. I thought it was over. But the guy just smiled at me, then came at me. All of a sudden my muscles locked up and I stopped breathing basically. He got me back pretty good. It was the best lesson that I don't think I could have gott unless really being in a scary fight first. I learned to just relax and try to enjoy it after that. I became very confident in my speed, athleticism, and ability. Always knowing in the back of my head that anyone can be stronger, faster and more abilities than me. WWG1WGA
Best online boxing coach ever,expert advice and demonstrations from a pro that,s done the hard yards,thankyou,best wishes to you all, from, Auckland, New Zealand 👑⭐🏅👍✅💯❤🙂🙂🙂
idk if this helps but you can load it up by either Shlightly Squatting down and using the explosive drive from your legs to get more power, by throwing a right hand first to get your weight onto your lead leg or just slipping to your lead side to again, put your weight onto your lead leag, or to get more power into any punch you can lower your stance whilst punching. im only 1 year into boxing tho.
also you can practice your uppercuts with medium weighed barbell where you slightly squat down in a neutral stance and then use your hip drive as you explosively get up and then do a straight uppercut motion with the barbell, the movement has to be explosive and 1 motion for it to work, atleast it helped me who is on meds that make my arms weaker
i would aslo recommend doing walks with dumbbells in extended uppercut position in a neutral stance to get more stability, so that your uppercuts land heavier.
your videos really helped my psyche a lot, esoecially the last bloody year. so much so, i corrected my stance, started stretching before woking out out or running and hitting the heavy bag once more. So thanks loads, much respect and much love !!
I've only been learning from your videos for about a week. 30 to 60 minutes at the end of the day when I get off work but I've been trying to take it very seriously and commit to a lot of repetition once I see how you recommend it be done. Whether it be footwork or hand speed etc. Mainly been trying to work on my breathing and my footwork. All I can say is within 7 days I don't have anyone to judge me or to ensure that I am improving. But, I would bet anything that I have improved drastically ever since implementing your recommendations. My head movement footwork breathing, and punching have all gotten so much better. For anyone interested in improving their skill set or just getting into it, I can vouch for these videos and this channel. Not to mention the guests. After watching the video of Logan Paul's coach breaking down some very unique tactical strategies I have had my eyes blowing wide open. Thank you so much I absolutely recommend this channel.!!
Look at Rocky Marciano. He was small for a heavyweight. He retired undefeated. He threw the best straight-right followed by a vicious left-hook, just in case they were still stood up. Watch how much he drives his hip forwards for the straight-right.
Ive been to a couple of street fights in my life, my suggestion to you guys is to use your elbows instead of throwing a punch, it is very effective and deadly.
Thank you very much! Your videos are very useful for me (cause I'm a girl and I don't have possibility to learn martial arts because of my family's finances and my health, so I practice at home and feel safer when I know what to do)
Thanks for sharing this. I feel this knowledge is more valuable than ever. Lots of people on edge these days. My best bud is a lifelong boxer and has been in his fair share of scraps. I’ve gone to the boxing gym with him for training a few times, and man it is intense! One thing that always stuck with me was the same as Tony pointed out, punch straight and fast. I’ve seen blokes dropped while they were winding up their haymakers. Looks like a great way to wreck your shoulder as well
If Mayweather somehow loses this fight he might as well go hide in Alaska for all eternity, This will be the saddest day in boxing history. I pray to the boxing gods this does not happen.
The more relaxed and focused participant in a street fight usually escapes the encounter with minimal damage. Their opponent on the other hand usually gets the worst of it lol
Great advice .Very similar to what i learned in 8 years of shotokan Relax untill the point of impac and then tighten up .I straight punched for so long i cant punch any other way .Plus i used a makiwara board for years ( still have it )
Great video Tony! I suggest a follow up of what normally I see in street fights which is one guy bull rushing and and swinging wildly, what would you do in that situation?
If you have the space I suggest taking a half step back against an aggressive street fighter, they normally lead with a right hook, short step back then get off your punches, I'd suggest left hook then right uppercut.
For a law bidding citizen yes. If you don’t give a shit about going to jail than no because you use a weapon. We are talking about street fights here not someone trying to kill you.
@@4homemail dunno where you are from, but in America you CAN kill someone with a legally owned gun if they are trying to kill you. In America you can also legally purchase and depending on the situation you are allowed to carry your weapon as well.
@@dicktracy790 that is what I basically said. But you need to know this as well. There is a saying in America: “there is a lawyer’s name on every bullet”😥
I've done exactly this in a street fight, and that one punch ended it, the guys okay just a busted nose and we stopped the bleeding quite fast, we had a drink and a laugh shortly afterwards realising the misunderstanding
I need this and I agree don’t fight unless u have done everything but unfortunately fights happen and thank you I’m hoping I don’t have to take this fight cause I don’t want to but they come at me everyday i avoid them as much as I can do this will really help me and I hope I win the fight but also not hurt him too much thank you
Hi Tony and thanks for the great videos! I've been wondering if when punching, we should imagine our hand stopping at the other person's face, or rather imagining going through it and all the way across and beyond? I.e. should we think of almost stopping the punch right after it has hit the opponent? Thanks and best wishes!
Punch through. Stopping just after contact is more of a jab. A jab is a good range finder i.e. for your less dominant hand to locate the target, punch through with your dominant hand
from experience thats just sometimes not possible specially if the persons whos in your face hot headed aggressive its no talking him down specially if they have had alcohol not saying all but most will back off once they realise youre not messing about youre ready for a fight.
Excellent Video in every regard. There is just one minor thing, shown but not mentioned explicitly: When connecting your punch, you dont want to draw back immediately but continue the push as long as it solidly connects to maximise energy transferred. Think of grabbing a doorhandle 10cm behind your target. The amount of swinging will tell the difference.
And straights... hooks and uppercuts too. He's just saying that cocking you fist back is a total waste and it telegraphs punches. A hook is as quick as a turn of the body and an uppercut is as quick as standing up. The power and speed comes from the ground (feet), through to the fist. I used to box, I was more of a defensive boxer, but I hate fighting.
Using lighters will end badly , watched a kid do that and he lost his pinky and got attempted murder charges because he put a hole in the other kids face
I don't really watch these videos but this one popped up. I live in Chicago we're all non fatal weapons are banned, and I'm legally blind and this helped me at least have some knowledge I can work with. Thanks man.

So you took his woman then you whipped his ass ? You sir are the perfect definition of an alpha male and thanks for your service lol
@@staceybishop5944 if you knew the physical and mental abuse he caused my wife youd probably beat his ass too , not to mention the perverted things he says to his daughters, we tried avoiding him but he crossed the parking lot just because he saw us and he calls me the "fake veteran" ..surely showed him otherwise , side note he had my stepdaughters with him when he tried attacking me and had been drinking with them in the car going to walmart ...this guy is psychotic and delusional, classic narcissistic actions
@@beardedsheepdog2783 damn so much messed up people in this world lol
Nice fairytale.
@@Dollymix001 lol i guess thats your opinion , probably havent been in many fights have you
One of the first things we learn in martial arts when we discuss boxing. It's better to hit fast than hit hard. Being hit, in itself, is demoralizing. If you can get in a few hits right off the bat in a fight it immediately puts you in a superior position. Everyone is brave until they get punched in the face, no matter how hard it is :)
If you're fighting a guy who is doesn't give a damn and grows angrier, good luck
@@afterwrath6478If you're fighting that guy, you've failed. Those types, just best to have walked away 30 mins ago. Those types you gotta kill
Tony you're the only UA-cam teacher who gets right to it. I appreciate not having to scroll through four minutes of BS to get to the meat of the lesson. Great videos as always
I appreciate it ma man, and thanks for leaving a feedback
Very accurate tips. In all my fights I was outnumbered and straight punches worked wonders!
Thanks for sharing mate 👊
@@Tony_Jeffries Sure Tony. You are my favourite boxing channel😍
Bro can you please tell me that people living in your place why get into street fight at the first place
Your first skill learned should be how to avoid getting into such dangerous situations. Then apply what you’ve learned here if you’ve done everything else to avoid the scenario.
Thank you, Tony, always appreciate the straight to the point information, and this technique is something I can use without months or years of training.
Hey Tony, first of all thanks for your hard work and the videos! Your passion for boxing and teaching it is inspiring and I've taken bits and pieces of your heavy bag workouts to make my routine more practical. I appreciate you!
Happy to help mate, dont forget to ask any questions if you got one
I saw a pro boxer tears ago fight a young guy who apparently had no experience. The guy started swinging wide and crazy, the boxer dodged them and knocked him cold out with a left hook. Amazing stuff.
Never been in a fight and definitely dont plan to look for one, but these simple tips are absolutely perfect. Appreciate it sir 👍🏿
Then don't.
@mikesmith9368 probably right 👍🏿
I've trained Muay Thai for 13 years. The last time I was out and someone tried to start trouble with me I assumed my typical Muay Thai stance and the guy knew enough to recognize it and just said "fuck that" and apologized. Even an untrained eye can see when someone is confident in what they're about to do to you. The best outcome is that your demeanor alone stops the fight before it starts. 😆
@Karl with a K It often does if you’re overt enough for the given situation.
@Karl with a K Yeah, I’ve dealt with that situation many times bud. Not sure what you were doing, but I can speak from my own experience.
I'll just practice the stance lol.
@@Another-Address then you need a gun and friends with guns.
thats a very true point. ive stopped 2 bar fights from happening by my posture and one mugging where a guy was hiding a knife in his sleeve. saying and doing the right thing can most def derail someone's attempt to come at you. its called disrupting the OODA cycle
That demonstration with the lines at 3:15 is incredible.
Thanks very much Tony. Practical and useful techniques explained in simple terms in the street fight context, including the 'why' as well as the 'how.' Great how you come at it from a self defence good guy perspective, and tell the bullies where to go (I've told my Daughters about your channel as well). I'm hooked mate, respect 👍
Same here bro.
Timed correctly and it's maximum damage when they step into a one straight down the pipe!
Class vids Tony 👍🏻
Tony! In your career did any coaches ever talk to you about “Rhythm Stepping”?
Some say 90% of boxers do it and it’s the WORST habit to get into.
Cheers for all the great free content you post!
I’ll do a video on this, turn your notifications on so you don’t miss it
Cheers Tony
How to attack it would be great
@@Tony_Jeffries definitely do a video on ot
If you learn to attack on the "off beat" of your rhythm, you will confuse someone who's trying to time you.
That may be a different thing that you're referring to though.
I actually learned this from hesitating on an attack one time. I was going after him with a certain rhythm when I stopped (due to hesitating in my step/footwork) but my opponent moved just like I was going to do what I hadn't.
You’re doing a great service to boxing education 🙏🏻🙌
Do you think that shoulder rotation, striking arm side, is complimentary/synergistic, to the straight punch? Thanks for your videos!!!
It is. You need to rotate your hand in a way that your thumb is facing the ground. It is easier to do that if you rotate your shoulder with it.
Tony looks exactly like the type of guy to show you how to win a streetfight
Yea
I love this type of videos because every words you say make sense , Thank You a lot ❤️
People like Tony are the reason I am polite to everyone. Looks like a regular dude, but a total savage inside.
Can't thank u enough for this advice.. had to use it for real couple days ago and it really helped me out , that 6 yr old didn't Stand a chance ..was like lightning ⚡⚡
Try fighting elderly... I took out an elderly just last week it was intense but I focused,And applied Tony's skills, cheers mate
Hungry shark do do do DONT
too many people out there taking abuse from arse holes with bad attitudes makes sense to at least learn how to throw one decent punch,
keep up the good work jeffries
Very good advice Tony, i am probaly around your age..you are a impressive guy.
i am not a boxer but,
did get basic training in martial arts and you are right ...staying calm is so important.
I am a carpenter..not a fighter,
however got attacked
by 3 guys ..i won
because i remained calm , maintained stance ,
and fought back.
So anybody watching Tony...
listen to him😎😎
TY, I keep getting bullied at school . Train every 4:30am to 6:40am everyday doing some of your drilling’s. :)
Whoop their asses 😡
Sweep the leg...
Study a little Krav Maga also. Check out Paul Vunak's stuff... devastating. Lift some weights and no whacking off...
Tell the principle , it will end the bullying immediately .
I have been practicing Martial Arts for decades, and I confirm that Mr. Jeffries' instruction is correct and to the point giving you the essence of fighting in a nutshell.
Same, and very good advice! Only thing I would suggest is in street fight better to defend with open hands instead of closed fists. Easier to parry, grab, redirect and actually even striking with open hand can sometimes be better and safer in a street fight
@@butcheyler23 Correct. Of course Mr. Jeffries being a boxer is not so very familiar with open hand fighting but a Martial Artist should be and should indeed be able to use to his advantage.
The "Thinking about speed" tip at the end is a great one. Never would have considered it before, and it's really effective.
In terms of extending the arm fully, I've always felt Mike Tyson gave good advice; punch through the target. Great video again coach, looking forward to the next one👍🥊🏴
But isn’t that because the cushioning of gloves forces boxers to overcompensate
If you even land a millimeter or two of knuckle into their face, it’s gonna make them reconsider their next move for sure
A lot of martial arts teach that too. Punching/kicking not at the target but through it.
Hello from Canada! I just discovered your channel and loved this video and subscribed. Great information for people! Very simple, but very necessary. I remember my first big fight in high school. I made a huge mistake and it almost cost me dearly. I gave the guy an uppercut just like the straight jab you showed us. I was going for the chin, but knocked out his 4 too teeth. He had to spit a couple out, then his friends start picking up his teeth. I thought it was over. But the guy just smiled at me, then came at me. All of a sudden my muscles locked up and I stopped breathing basically. He got me back pretty good. It was the best lesson that I don't think I could have gott unless really being in a scary fight first. I learned to just relax and try to enjoy it after that. I became very confident in my speed, athleticism, and ability. Always knowing in the back of my head that anyone can be stronger, faster and more abilities than me.

Thanks, sir. Was nearly involved in an incident Friday night. If you can't think you get hurt. Superb tips.
I don't want to learn this but I know one day I will need this
Thank you sir. Real valuable. Am adopting it in my training now. Keep the lessons coming.
Best online boxing coach ever,expert advice and demonstrations from a pro that,s done the hard yards,thankyou,best wishes to you all, from, Auckland, New Zealand 👑⭐🏅👍✅💯❤🙂🙂🙂
Hey Tony, can you do a full tutorial on the lead uppercut? I’m having trouble with it so any help would be appreciated.
idk if this helps but you can load it up by either Shlightly Squatting down and using the explosive drive from your legs to get more power, by throwing a right hand first to get your weight onto your lead leg or just slipping to your lead side to again, put your weight onto your lead leag, or to get more power into any punch you can lower your stance whilst punching. im only 1 year into boxing tho.
also you can practice your uppercuts with medium weighed barbell where you slightly squat down in a neutral stance and then use your hip drive as you explosively get up and then do a straight uppercut motion with the barbell, the movement has to be explosive and 1 motion for it to work, atleast it helped me who is on meds that make my arms weaker
i would aslo recommend doing walks with dumbbells in extended uppercut position in a neutral stance to get more stability, so that your uppercuts land heavier.
your videos really helped my psyche a lot, esoecially the last bloody year. so much so, i corrected my stance, started stretching before woking out out or running and hitting the heavy bag once more. So thanks loads, much respect and much love !!
Great job! thanks for sharing your progress mate - this makes me feel good to make more videos 👊
Thank you mate People NEED this because no body has ever taught us, GREAT job AND many thanks!!!
Just encountered this channel and of course I subscribed.
I've only been learning from your videos for about a week. 30 to 60 minutes at the end of the day when I get off work but I've been trying to take it very seriously and commit to a lot of repetition once I see how you recommend it be done. Whether it be footwork or hand speed etc. Mainly been trying to work on my breathing and my footwork. All I can say is within 7 days I don't have anyone to judge me or to ensure that I am improving. But, I would bet anything that I have improved drastically ever since implementing your recommendations. My head movement footwork breathing, and punching have all gotten so much better. For anyone interested in improving their skill set or just getting into it, I can vouch for these videos and this channel. Not to mention the guests. After watching the video of Logan Paul's coach breaking down some very unique tactical strategies I have had my eyes blowing wide open. Thank you so much I absolutely recommend this channel.!!
Hi Tony
Great detail in the vids, I love it . I’m 57 years old and live trying to learn . Keep them coming mate 👍👍👍

2:05 Truth 😂
I've seen many street fights - and Yes this is True 😄
That stiff punch can hurt badly
Hey you have really helped me because you thought me how to protect myself in the streets you are a legend
This was good and basic. I will look into more of your stuff. Do you have advice for the little guy's!
I do! Don't try and fight guys bigger than you.
Look at Rocky Marciano. He was small for a heavyweight. He retired undefeated. He threw the best straight-right followed by a vicious left-hook, just in case they were still stood up. Watch how much he drives his hip forwards for the straight-right.
Ive been to a couple of street fights in my life, my suggestion to you guys is to use your elbows instead of throwing a punch, it is very effective and deadly.
Need less distance than a punch, and if you miss, can be dangerous
Bruh it's so easy to miss an elbow even on someone who isn't defending it properly. Horrible advice unless you're a professional Thai boxer lol.
I've been training 10 years, but I learn all types of little tricks, and new techniques every time I watch you videos!
Thank you
Thank you very much! Your videos are very useful for me (cause I'm a girl and I don't have possibility to learn martial arts because of my family's finances and my health, so I practice at home and feel safer when I know what to do)
Great to hear, Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing this. I feel this knowledge is more valuable than ever. Lots of people on edge these days.
My best bud is a lifelong boxer and has been in his fair share of scraps. I’ve gone to the boxing gym with him for training a few times, and man it is intense! One thing that always stuck with me was the same as Tony pointed out, punch straight and fast.
I’ve seen blokes dropped while they were winding up their haymakers. Looks like a great way to wreck your shoulder as well
much appreciated love the contrasting examples of the street fights VS the proper way..💯
This is a good video for self defence!💪🏻 will u be watching the Logan Paul vs floyd mayweather ?
Yes mate! how about you?
@@Tony_Jeffries who are you backing for the fight mate?
@@Tony_Jeffries what are your predictions on Floyd vs logan paul fight?
@@MilYonzzz really?
If Mayweather somehow loses this fight he might as well go hide in Alaska for all eternity, This will be the saddest day in boxing history. I pray to the boxing gods this does not happen.
The more relaxed and focused participant in a street fight usually escapes the encounter with minimal damage. Their opponent on the other hand usually gets the worst of it lol
Great advice .Very similar to what i learned in 8 years of shotokan Relax untill the point of impac and then tighten up
.I straight punched for so long i cant punch any other way .Plus i used a makiwara board for years ( still have it )
Great video Tony! I suggest a follow up of what normally I see in street fights which is one guy bull rushing and and swinging wildly, what would you do in that situation?
If you have the space I suggest taking a half step back against an aggressive street fighter, they normally lead with a right hook, short step back then get off your punches, I'd suggest left hook then right uppercut.
They're normally horribly off balance to so moving out of the way and shoving them even can work
Try to pivot off the centerline to their weak/lead hand side and crack them with a straight right or check hook
"your fists are the best weapon you have on the streets"

I've done exactly this in a street fight, and that one punch ended it, the guys okay just a busted nose and we stopped the bleeding quite fast, we had a drink and a laugh shortly afterwards realising the misunderstanding
I need this and I agree don’t fight unless u have done everything but unfortunately fights happen and thank you I’m hoping I don’t have to take this fight cause I don’t want to but they come at me everyday i avoid them as much as I can do this will really help me and I hope I win the fight but also not hurt him too much thank you
Hi Tony and thanks for the great videos! I've been wondering if when punching, we should imagine our hand stopping at the other person's face, or rather imagining going through it and all the way across and beyond? I.e. should we think of almost stopping the punch right after it has hit the opponent? Thanks and best wishes!
Punch through. Stopping just after contact is more of a jab. A jab is a good range finder i.e. for your less dominant hand to locate the target, punch through with your dominant hand
The best technique is to avoid getting into a street fight at all costs. 🤫
Sometimes it’s unavoidable
from experience thats just sometimes not possible specially if the persons whos in your face hot headed aggressive its no talking him down specially if they have had alcohol not saying all but most will back off once they realise youre not messing about youre ready for a fight.
@@johnnycage6676 it depends really
Yes avoid but if needed on like Donkey Kong.
Especially since you're gonna be stabbed or shot. Maybe stabbed AND shot.
Excellent Video in every regard. There is just one minor thing, shown but not mentioned explicitly: When connecting your punch, you dont want to draw back immediately but continue the push as long as it solidly connects to maximise energy transferred. Think of grabbing a doorhandle 10cm behind your target. The amount of swinging will tell the difference.
Will the gel knuckles still be able to hurt your opponent, a good amount?
And does it do a good job, in aiding you not to break any bones?
The major thing is to keep your wrist straight and locked you can broke your hand even with gloves and straps on
That's a good question.
I'm guessing you've had a fight or 3 that resulted in busted fist syndrome.
If you get in a street fight definitely do not take the time to put anything on your hands
@@badwerds Definitely not. But when I first get those itti bitti gloves on. My momma wont stand a chance this time...

This was exactly the video I didn't know that I was looking for.
So what we learned today: only throw jabs
And straights... hooks and uppercuts too. He's just saying that cocking you fist back is a total waste and it telegraphs punches. A hook is as quick as a turn of the body and an uppercut is as quick as standing up. The power and speed comes from the ground (feet), through to the fist. I used to box, I was more of a defensive boxer, but I hate fighting.

Me too!! Lol
thanks. u helped me more than allot of people by just explaining ...
All I see is the brick walls in that room. Looks like a great place for the back of someones head to bounce off of. That's how I view street fights.
Being aware of one’s surroundings is key.
Just use 2 lighters in your hands. .. learning it from a Russian gut called Sergej
Or just learn how to make a proper fist like a real man. That's not going to help your technique.
Using lighters will end badly , watched a kid do that and he lost his pinky and got attempted murder charges because he put a hole in the other kids face
Love this guy great teacher definitely don’t even know how many people he helped
