Won´t you break your hands and lose some solidity from the connection if your hands are open? I´ve always been taught to keep everything loose, but when your fist is on it´s way to the target you squeeze your hand shut really hard to lock in your wrist and protect your metacarpal bones and so you won´t lose power from your fist or wrist wobbling. The way it was explained to me was keep everything relaxed, except your arms from the elbow to your fist should turn into a metal beam as the punch is flying.
The Razah i didn't mean keep your hands open throughout the whole motion, you should keep your hands relaxed in a curled up position but not clenched into a fist that slows you down dramatically and is a waste of energy, you only clench your fists at the last second when you're about to hit the target, I've always punched this way even trained bare knuckle on a heavy bag and no hand injuries.
Hey Jeff I'm trying to do a masters division Novis boxing competition Myself by the end of this year or next year iam 49 years old and I'm 265 lb do you have any tips on working on my endurance like roadwork the what type of roadwork is best my knees are not the greatest but they're they're not that bad either so any tips for flexibility and endurance it's really appreciate it from Ocala Florida thank you. And thanks coach Anthony for your help.
Thank you for mentioning "think speed" because many fighters and coaches never teach that speed is a thought process as much as it is training and developing the fast twitch (type 2) muscle fibres. Technique/form, balance, trajectory of punches are all important to be faster. Most fighters aren't fast not because they don't have the tools but because they don't think speed. It is more demanding on the body because it requires more energy but its what is required. Brilliant tutorial, sir.
Self educated. i train mma and kickboxing, i learn more here than i do in the gym. Of cause i get my routine in gym and get the excute new techniques, but this guy spitting knowledge 4 sure.
I love the footwork part that little bounce with quick Stutter Step as long as you keep your Technique clean that put speed and Power on look I'm watching his boxing videos and practicing his boxing techniques here on out
These were some awesome tips. One flaw in my own game was lack of footwork when punching. I was almost scared to engage and I ended up starting my offense from too far away or not stepping to my opponent.
My man you have the best boxing page on UA-cam. The way you teach is easy to comprehend. Your knowledge and wisdom of techniques is high quality. Respect.
One big tip I could lend is relaxing..being tense in your fists and forearms will slow down your punches, and also try to relax your upper back and shoulders. This will not only let you get shots off faster, but prevent you from getting tired in the long run.
Man I love your videos, you catch old fighters up really fast the way you teach. This is like rehab for me. Not to mention no one really tells you these things but you feel them and need some approval sometimes. Thanks again
GREAT tips! Thanks coach. A tip from 28 years of karate- Practice in slow motion. Sounds opposite to what you want to achieve but trust me. Its sorta the same as watching a punching technique vid in slow mo...Your brain can process it in more detail than if you go full speed, and you also pay closer attention to your technique because its easier to feel and see if you're off. Give it a shot
U need to do both.. Muscle memory is very different when doing fast.. Not wrong but fast is very important otherwise u will only throw slow punches.. Think slow push ups and fast push ups, different feeling and is easier than the other.. The balance is different too.
another tip is not to clench your fist until just before moment of impact. starting the punch with a hard grip will slow it down, take snap off the end of the punch, and will tire your arms very quickly from lactic acid buildup. Every former Soviet country school of boxing teaches this (russia, ukraine, kazakhstan, etc). Thank you for the channel Anthony, you are doing excellent work! I am originally from Ukraine but am a US citizen and love this country so much and want to see us do well in the Olympics like USA always did a long time ago. The more resources our kids have the better shot they've got and you are part of the solution for this.
@@topcat365 any punch... to be clear, it's not open hand at beginning of punch. You should wrap your hands in a way that lets you close your hand almost completely or completely without straining hand/forearm muscles, but if you tighten hand just little bit then wrap will be firm/hard. I don't know if i explain this in a way that make sense.
The info from this coach plus my actual coach has really stepped up my game. So many coaches really either forget or don't remember to explain in detail the mechanics of what they are telling you to do. Kinda funny how he thinks my improvement is 100% him when in fact I would say 50/50.
I make my guys stay off weights , they bend springs (power twisters) . Can also use rubber bands and also webbed gloves and punch under water for resistance training .Also we use the endless rope and battle ropes
Tip 7 add weights while shadow boxing . When your using to throwing punches with a 3 pound weight take away that weight and your hands will feel lightning fast Then when you work that bag everything Anthony said but stay in your mind move as fast as possible . Recoil as fast as possible. Don’t hit as hard as you can hit as fast as you can ! Good training gents !!
Ok I'm all in I really like this boxing coach He's sharp and technical this was the first boxing video of his I seen I did what he said and immediately could see and feel the results
I hit the bag with over 12oz gloves for mins non stop . Best technique for best result. Right after your done you'll notice your hands are a lot faster. Need stronger shoulders
Coach Anthony you do a great job of breaking down techniques and explaining when it will and won't work. I just came across your channel and I'm happy I found it. You da best!!
Underwater punching increases hand speed. Wade in a pool and throw as many punches as fast as you can. Build up to 30 minutes at least twice a week. Water is almost 800 times denser than air. Also the cross feeds the hook and vice versa if you are centered and learn how to fall from foot to foot peripateticaly you will harness effortless power. The difference between being in shape and being in fighting shape....
Just to help out my fellow subs who don't know this : When practicing on heavy bag, "sometimes" punch in a way that only the glove makes contact. (Save your knuckles / tools ) Try to make as loud a pop sound with the glove only, while moving the bag the least amount possible. Once your bag work sounds like gunshots while leaving the bag almost completely still, apply it on opponent. For extra power...using same form, punch through target an extra inch or two, or three, etc...mixing with timing and anticipation of where target will be. If possible, punch into the target as opposed to toward the target as it moves away....or adjust accordingly if not possible. Snap Punching*
You also have to change your attack when you’re jumping in and out like Pac-Man does. You risk getting timed that’s what happened to Manny against Marquez. He picked up his rhythm coming in and caught him and the rest is history. He knocked him out
one time i sparr with a dirty thai coach training me muay thai for only a short period of time he started to disrespect me without reason more than one time i sparr with him only punches i punch him with unusual combo uppercut to midsection follows but left+right hand hooks with all punches was over commitment and he was totally unconscious, after that i think it's was slow i will make it fast and crisp thank you coach Anthony
Good stuff! I got them everlast c3 weighted gloves. I find them to be heaven man. I do sparring and bag work with them. Once i take them off my hands are soooo much faster! Huge Speed improv!
Do bag drills punching as fast as you can, keep your elbows in don’t stick your elbows out when throwing straight punches you punch than turn wrist 3/4 of the way into the punch. What my coach use to tell me when hitting the bag draw an imaginary rectangle and keep your punches in that rectangle so your punches are as straight as an arrow that’s how I became Sugar Leonard or Meldrick Taylor fast

Tip # 6 Stay loose: keep your hands open, your muscles relaxed, your rhythm going and sit comfortably in your stance, tense muscles= slow punches.
Precisely-well said!

@@victorc.9072 Ah alright I hear ya, that's exactly the way I was taught.
Keep your fists curled and when you snap your punch like a whip centrifugal force will form your fist.

Thai Fighter: Ooweee oowwee owee
MMA: Arrgh Arggh Arggh

Thank you
Fran sands is also good
Coach Anthony and Fran Sands is also excellent.
Totally agree
10000%
Being conscious and focused on what you’re trying to do day in and day out. Consistency. That’s gold.
Yo huge tip for guys that've trained for a while. Loosen your rotator cuffs using a foam roller. I found a huge difference in hand speed when I did it
Rotator cuffs?
DeAngelo Fletcher shoulders
@@ChalupaTV 😂 tell em brah . Elbows hips and joints all together.
How do to loosen rotator cuff with foma roller ? Lol
God bless and thank you, Coach Anthony for your knowledge, wisdom, and insight. Sincerely, Jeff “Rattlesnake” Railey

The "think fast" is sooo true.
You are absolutely correct Coach Anthony ! You would of been a great asset to the boxers inside the Great north

i think step in as flicking the arm, the pivot behind the punch gives the hit more weight, so step, slight pivot and flick all together.
You never disappoint coach💯💯💯

Coach Anthony is THAT dude
Thank you for the great content coach.just started doing boxing with some friends in his backyard.been trying to drill these into my mind
Coach is a bad man
Thanks coach!💪
💪💪💪
Another thing is see with a lot of beginners is that they punch slow because they're too tense in their arms and are flexing while throwing the punch
thaanks a lot coach
You also have to change your attack when you’re jumping in and out like Pac-Man does. You risk getting timed that’s what happened to Manny against Marquez. He picked up his rhythm coming in and caught him and the rest is history. He knocked him out
