This is good. I've been that punching bag, blocking on one spot. It sounds like common sense to block while moving. Funny it takes someone to explain it at length to realize how easy of target I have been. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video, JT! The best thing about this approach is it gives you the time and space to analyze your opponent's patterns. You'll learn his timing, and he is less expecting your counters. It gives him false confidence when you are catching 10 of his punches, constantly walking with those. Then you strike. Like a sea snake. Great technique!
Wonderful Shawn Porter vs Kell Brook shows you and the use of the pivot is so important as well.....so many subtle things to boxing I wish I could mention here but wonderful stuff.
Hey J.T. Another perfect example of this style of defensive boxing is from a boxer named Glen Johnson who was responsible in knocking out Roy Jones Jr. He used the Peekaboo style to walk Jones down into a corner to measure him up and catch him.
This could not be any more applicable and useful to me right now. I'm 41 and after training for the last 4 months I just started sparring the last couple of weeks. I'm loving it, but at the end of every round I'm totally spent and can't wait to spit the gum shield out, cos Ive been trying to dance around like Leonard (unsuccessfully) in the No Mas fight in an attempt (unsuccessfully) to not get hit. Sparring is triple hard compared to bag work, and this is extremely useful for an old geezer like me, so like so much of your other advice I'm taking this and working on it. Cheers ! Keith
Thanks for this video,mate.I am very impressed, you got brilliant videos.Keep going with this good work,some times I have learned more from your tips than from my gym.
Hey man thanks for the vidz u are amazing I'm training for a mma fight in June and ur vidz are very insightful and helpful I plan to use many things I have learned from ur vidz. Again thanks sir.
Great video buddy. I have a fight coming up in June so this will help when I'm sparring and training. Your videos help a lot and I am thankful I have found your chanel. Love from scotland. Boooooom!
Thank you sooooooo Very Much for this one. Its as if you were speaking directly to me (maybe you were!)! Really needed this, you are helping me to refine my technique and realizations both my mistakes and why I'm unconsciously doing the things I'm doing. Today is my Boxing day I'm gonna drill this consistently. Is there any otherway to work this maybe with heavy bag or speedbag. Its harder because you have to work the footwork too, but I'm thinking catch block in rhythm with the speed back or bean bag. My mind is on fire. Getting antsy to try it in the ring too (but got to develope this first!). Thank you again!
Thanks again JT. This is really great content. Definitely keeps the viewer engaged. Thanks for putting in the time to create these boxing tutorials. I also checked out your website and liked your FB Page. I'm not a boxer... just an admirer of the sport. Wishing you much success... ~Joe Senchuk
Love your vids, man; think ive seen them all now... Please do one on "traps" I.E. what boxers really mean by that word and some examples plus a couple easy traps for beginner intermediate skill
JT Van V loving the videos and the targeted topics - Just about to change trainers and would like to get my defence a lot sharper - so this is such a great supplement
A person can move and jab off the same hand multiple times, which is pretty common, but at least it's only coming from one angle. That's my comment to the remark made about an aggressor alternating punches while moving.
Great video bro. I work as much on my defense and movement as I do throwing punches. I want to learn how to counter, and also how to create angles and punch. I'm still having some problems with my jump rope skills. Simply said I suck at jumping rope. I'm good off two feet but any other rhythm gives me problems.
Great video. I have a unrelated question though. I'm 22 years old and I have never taken any boxing lessons from anyone other then my dad and he doesn't know much. I want to choose a local boxing school. What do you think I should look for in a boxing gym that will tell me that it is a good gym? And how much is a fair price? Would love a response thanks. Shout outs from Salem Oregon.
Hector Ceja Navarro I really can't answer that, it depends on who the coaches are and how much you are willing to pay. Back in the early 2000's I was paying $80 a month.
i think even the welterweight version of pacquiao use this kind of tactics in some fights to rest sometimes, catch some air and continue with the pounding. this can be drilled with the pads? i try with my brother charge a little bit the counters with them, so we are aware of throw and receive the blows
AE thanks, I cover it in my Defense and Counterpunching instructional - www.precisionstriking.ca/product/new-video-defense-and-counter-punching-instructional-video/
Jason , , I block or slip the jab or even sometimes get tagged with it , I wait to see if the guy throws the right , then I bob when the right comes and step inside . I find guys will then begin to step backwards as he goes I step with him . waiting to see if I can throw a left hook , followed by a right as he steps back ... ? seems to work for me . what do you think .
I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot watching them, but one thing, please: aim the camera a little higher please, don't cut away your upper head. it's somehow hard to watch and concentrate.
Hey, I'm very new to boxing and I was just wondering about getting a boxing bag. What type should I get? Only really able to get 1 at this stage so I want one that's kinda good all round. What should I be looking at? Thanks very much
JT Van V Thanks for the tip! But as far as the type of punching bag, should I be going for heavy bag or speed bag? I'm assuming heavy and if so what weight would you recommend? I'm currently around 122 pounds. Thanks very much :)
Hey Jason , I'm a beginner and in sparring I always seem to get countered and never land strikes or counters, is there any tips you can give me ? Thanks !
The more you make yourself hurt in training by pushing yourself to your limits and more, the uglier your competitive attitude becomes. Like a dog suffering in a kennel just dying to get out and bite! Dont hold back, think to kill.
The Wolverine we had a guy like that at my gym, lots of talent but lost a lot of fights, he always thought of himself as a 'counterpuncher', but if you look at the best counterpunchers, Floyd for example, they actually initiate the attacks more often. I would say to start to look at pressure fighters, Hatton, Tyson, Juan Diaz, GGG and start to emulate their style and mindset more in training. And ofcourse as mentioned, you have to push yourself in training like a suffering dog. seriously.
Adrian Biłek you can do both, it depends on what you are comfortable with. A lot of people close the fist and put it to their forehead, but I often open tense hands and put them with open palms to my forehead and face
hey JT! i recently uploaded a video of me shadowboxing, could you give me some tips on what i should work on? I have already noticed that i forget about blocking when i shadowbox and that i sometimes have my elbows pointing a little bit out. I have been doing muay thai for 6 or 7 months now and i am preparing for my first fight may 16 =)
Hello, I'm new to boxing and going to have my first amateur match next 2 months and I'm having trouble against the turtle shell, can you please tell me how to beat it?
JT Van V If he's in mid or long range I can block-counter easily but this guy in my gym sparr with me a lot and he rarely throws jab and he likes to close up the distance then he throws hooks and uppercut, I throw my jabs but he keeps coming at me, I freak out when I'm in close range. Is there any counter in close range?
ai teola There are a lot, I teach them in my instructional video - www.precisionstriking.ca/product/new-video-defense-and-counter-punching-instructional-video/
Im 42 and i started boxing last year. Thank you for that awesome video
Keep you fit.

You are an amazing teacher

Ok thanks for the response.
Excellent lesson, JT. Thanks for doing this.
Love the pool view
kelly escobar nice to see you again!
I'm glad you remember me ;)
Hey J.T. Another perfect example of this style of defensive boxing is from a boxer named Glen Johnson who was responsible in knocking out Roy Jones Jr. He used the Peekaboo style to walk Jones down into a corner to measure him up and catch him.
Just what I needed thanks Sir.

crapinabap Yeah, fighting like Leonard is VERY hard, you have to be in crazy good shape to do that. thanks for the comment Keith!
Awesome stuff! Def going to keep this in my arsenal for when I'm gassed thanks!

Please do one on "traps"
I.E. what boxers really mean by that word and some examples plus a couple easy traps for beginner intermediate skill
Im 53 and love my boxing -
Mike Robinson I have no doubts Mike!
JT Van V loving the videos and the targeted topics - Just about to change trainers and would like to get my defence a lot sharper - so this is such a great supplement
From a guy in his early 50s sr, excellent video. Keep up the good work.
Paul Hornbogen thx Paul!
A person can move and jab off the same hand multiple times, which is pretty common, but at least it's only coming from one angle. That's my comment to the remark made about an aggressor alternating punches while moving.
Great advice. Would any of your points work in a bareknuckle street fight?
NICE SWAG
Keep the good work up great as always ! Dont fall in the pool hahhahhahahah
Alb Fighter haha serious!
Ah ah I was also wondering: why the pool :-)
Great vid as always.
Another nice drill bro!
Toby Cleary thx my man!
Big shot with the fancy pool
Lol I wish, this building is basic, but I'm glad there's a pool
The come back George foreman was the calmest fighter I've ever seen.
Joshua Sasfire Salvador Sanchez is the most relaxed/calmest for me, even under pressure. James Toney is right up there with him.
Unnecessary nervous energy.
Great video bro. I work as much on my defense and movement as I do throwing punches. I want to learn how to counter, and also how to create angles and punch. I'm still having some problems with my jump rope skills. Simply said I suck at jumping rope. I'm good off two feet but any other rhythm gives me problems.
Street Marshal Flip that's a good move working on defense and movement just as much, it all pays off.
I can really use this with the dealing with machine gun punchers vid!
j ruffin yes exactly!
Really great advice for lazy bums like me :).
***** lol
Great video. I have a unrelated question though. I'm 22 years old and I have never taken any boxing lessons from anyone other then my dad and he doesn't know much.

alright like for the new view
Great vid, can u do a video on how to mix up different combinations?
JT Van V
Jonathan Adams Can you explain more what you mean?
JT Van V how to be more aggressive by throwing lots of different combinations and always keeping the opponent guessing. Like canelo alvarez
Jonathan Adams I think I have videos about that already. try these two

Cheers for the upload will try this out in sparing next. Have you got a release date on your app for the Android yet?
James Horton before April 30th. Thx James!
JT Van V 👍
Thanks man. Will shadow box on that.
Subtitulos en español por favor! saludos desde Argentina!
if you already havent can you do a video on philly shell guard- the basics and whats important. i cant find a goo video on it anywhere on the net
AE thanks, I cover it in my Defense and Counterpunching instructional - www.precisionstriking.ca/product/new-video-defense-and-counter-punching-instructional-video/
Jason , , I block or slip the jab or even sometimes get tagged with it , I wait to see if the guy throws the right , then I bob when the right comes and step inside . I find guys will then begin to step backwards as he goes I step with him . waiting to see if I can throw a left hook , followed by a right as he steps back ... ? seems to work for me . what do you think .
Emmett Dolan yeah, that's smart. Mayweather does that a lot, moves back and then bobs back into his opponent to close the distance and make it tight.
Hwy just wanted to know what kind of vitamins should i be taking to prepare my self physically for a fight?
nygib castro I don't know really, I never took any to prepare. I've read that a basic multivitamin is good
JT Van V okay um go anything specific in mind?
Ur t-shirt looks hard
the latest club dance @ 8:50
Rayshon TV yeeahhhh lol
I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot watching them, but one thing, please: aim the camera a little higher please, don't cut away your upper head. it's somehow hard to watch and concentrate.
Armin Morgenstern ok I see what you mean.
Hey, I'm very new to boxing and I was just wondering about getting a boxing bag. What type should I get? Only really able to get 1 at this stage so I want one that's kinda good all round. What should I be looking at?
Thanks very much
Al Kan Not Ringside bags are good!
JT Van V Thanks for the tip! But as far as the type of punching bag, should I be going for heavy bag or speed bag? I'm assuming heavy and if so what weight would you recommend? I'm currently around 122 pounds.
Thanks very much :)
Al Kan Not heavybag at 75-100 lbs is good.
Can I come workout with you. Your incredible
Carlos if you can make it to Toronto we can definitely set something up
Hey Jason , I'm a beginner and in sparring I always seem to get countered and never land strikes or counters, is there any tips you can give me ? Thanks !
Alan Dabs Watch the video i posted before this on sparring for beginners.
just watched it, great tips. thanks
Did you always have that natural killer instinct or did you work on it. I feel like I'm barely agressive and that's making me lose fights :(
The more you make yourself hurt in training by pushing yourself to your limits and more, the uglier your competitive attitude becomes. Like a dog suffering in a kennel just dying to get out and bite! Dont hold back, think to kill.
Cavesuki yes your first line means A LOT!
The Wolverine we had a guy like that at my gym, lots of talent but lost a lot of fights, he always thought of himself as a 'counterpuncher', but if you look at the best counterpunchers, Floyd for example, they actually initiate the attacks more often. I would say to start to look at pressure fighters, Hatton, Tyson, Juan Diaz, GGG and start to emulate their style and mindset more in training. And ofcourse as mentioned, you have to push yourself in training like a suffering dog. seriously.
should we stick pams on our forheads?
Or rather streach/tense hands, and not touch our pams to forhead?
Adrian Biłek you can do both, it depends on what you are comfortable with. A lot of people close the fist and put it to their forehead, but I often open tense hands and put them with open palms to my forehead and face
Thanks, that's hepful :)
hey JT! i recently uploaded a video of me shadowboxing, could you give me some tips on what i should work on? I have already noticed that i forget about blocking when i shadowbox and that i sometimes have my elbows pointing a little bit out.
I have been doing muay thai for 6 or 7 months now and i am preparing for my first fight may 16 =)
SPEC7RA can you just reply back with a link to your video, paste the link here
JT Van V i also noticed that my hands move a little bit too much when im in my stance
Jt how long should a boxer run distance wise? And how often a week?
Chistopher Mulvey ua-cam.com/video/CtWUzD0wZoI/v-deo.html
Cheers buddy !
Hello, I'm new to boxing and going to have my first amateur match next 2 months and I'm having trouble against the turtle shell, can you please tell me how to beat it?
ai teola you have to slip and throw when your opponent is throwing, its risky though
JT Van V If he's in mid or long range I can block-counter easily but this guy in my gym sparr with me a lot and he rarely throws jab and he likes to close up the distance then he throws hooks and uppercut, I throw my jabs but he keeps coming at me, I freak out when I'm in close range.
