All right, what's going on, you guys! I'm back with Nate,
NateBowerFitness.
And today we're gonna do a similar video to last time.
I'm gonna be working beginner pad drills with Nate,
sort of things, that you can do at home,
if you have a partner, you can do them with pads.
Or you can do them in shadowboxing or on the bag.
Sort of the way, that you can work basic techniques and combos
and build them up,
and also keep boxing concepts in mind.
So I'm gonna be sort of, working and coaching Nate through this.
You can follow along and work this
almost like a workout at home,
but then as well take these drills and what we're working here
and bring it to the gym for shadowbox and bag work.
All right, let's get into it.
All right, so first thing, I'm gonna stay in the center.
And all I want you to do is, you're gonna work the jab,
every time you work the jab, I'm gonna hold the pad, I'm on your time.
So you just chuck it any time you want.
All I want you to do when you're done working that jab,
is just move to a new spot on the perimeter.
Pom!
And it's on your rhythm.
Poom! Whenever you want, this pad will be there.
Just take your time and flow with it.
I'm gonna check out, make sure the rest is looking good.

Next drill is the same thing,
but the jab here, slip left, slip right.
Okay, either you just want to dip,
that's fine, like whatever feels good to you.
(Exhales)
You're not really slipping to get inside, you're just...
getting your head off that center line.
You mean off the slip?
Yeah, so you gotta throw and go,
basically it's what it is.
So here...
Yeah, whatever it's gonna take you to get your head off the center.
But you gotta stay looking at me.
You hit it,
(pam!)
yeah, whatever it is!
And you don't need to go too low,
you just want to get the head off the center line and move.

One-two,
right, when you're in that emergency,
the left hand at least has to get back.
But you can bring both back.
Here, cover.
Okay, it might not be the only thing you want to do.

So here, we're gonna do the one-two, we got a couple more drills.
We're gonna do the one-two,
same like before, but you don't have to worry about this.
It's all now the head movement.
So one-two, out.
Or one-two,
change your level.
The other one you can do is here,
One-two, slip and pivot.
Whatever you want to do to get the head off the center line.
And it's gonna come back slow.
So you don't have to worry for now, you just work through it.
And then pick up the speed as you go.

There, that's it, and that's then what you got to do after.
To the right, could be out,
right, whatever you want to do.
♪ ♪
There, but keep your eyes up.
Eyes up.
A bit smaller motions, eyes up.
There, yeah, see, your eyes are on everything.
You see everything.
All right, you guys.
So just some drills that you can work,
pads, shadowboxing or on the bag.
You can see with me and Nate, we dialed it back.
We took it from the jab and movement,
the jab and movement,
to the one-two,
one-two-three, moving off of all those punches.
Then getting ready for something coming back.
Okay, jab, something's coming back.
Or jab, how can I defend that?
Cover, dip and move, what does that feel like.
Put it with the one-two, the one-two-three and different options.
So that's where you can, as a beginner,
really start to expand your awareness and skill in boxing.
Is to take things from the beginning,
stack on a piece, stack on a piece,
and build it up from there.
All right you guys, make sure to go check out Nate Bowers' channel,
we got a video coming up on breathing
and how important breathing is in boxing over at Nate Bowers' channel,
I can leave a link in the video description below.
We're gonna work some techniques and drills,
that are really gonna help your endurance, your stamina,
your power output in boxing.
And again, thanks for watching!
Peace!
