on this video i'm going to show you how to improve your speed
when you're throwing long combinations without losing good form or good technique i'm going
to give you four different ways of doing this and as well at the end of the video
i'm going to give you a bonus tip that will help you throw these long fast combinations
with a lot of power too so make sure you check out the bonus tip at the end
my name is tony jeffries olympic bronze medalist former undefeated professional boxer seven times
national champion european champion welcome to my youtube channel throughout this video i'm
going to give you some side-by-side comparisons where you'll be able to see what i'm telling you
how it's working compared to what you might be doing right now which will not be working
so the first tip is know what combination you're going to throw if you know what combo
you're going to throw you've got more chance of throwing it faster now the combination i'm going
to use throughout this video is a 1 2 double hook to the body hook to the head cross slip
two one two now that's a nine punch combination that i'm going to throw
and now because i know what the combination is i'll be able to flow faster than making
the combination up on the spot so here it goes the nine nine-punch combination
now that was fast because i knew exactly what i was going to throw
now if i do a combination and nine punch combo i'm just going to make it up right now
now i'll put them two side by side i made one
up i knew what the other one was let's see which one wins
and you're seeing the winner let's put that one on the screen again one more time for you to see
tip number two is think about speed now if you thinking about the speed
thinking that this is going to be the fastest combination you've ever throw in your life
you're gonna improve the speed of that combination but as well always thinking
about good form or good technique we don't want to throw the combination which is a
with bad form and technique or that just defeats the full purpose of this video and defeats the
full purpose of boxing you always want to concentrate on good form and good technique
when you think about that speed it will improve it and another way you can think about the speed
is think about the sound so a quick example is if i want to throw a one two and i hear this sound
i throw one two that speed but if i think about a 1-2 when i think about this sound i'll punch that
fast and i've got a full video on how to punch faster so check out that video as well and you
might be thinking about what else am i going to think about if i'm not thinking about speed well
people think about power and if i'm thinking about power it's going to slow that combination down
i'm going to do the exact same combination throw it hard and as hard as i can and watch this
now that was the combination on power now let's see them
side by side the speed versus power here you are
and as you're seeing there the speed wins all day let's put it on one more time for you
there thinking about speed tip number three is stay relaxed now you might
be thinking well of course i'm going to stay relaxed i'm relaxed all the time but
when you're throwing long combinations this is when people tend to tighten up
i might not be off the first two punches might be and then they'll tighten up and they'll hold
their breath you want to be exhaling with each punch now watch when i exhale with
each punch you'll be able to hear the sound you better see the speed and hear the sound
exhaling with each punch staying super relaxed now let's compare that with one
what i'm about to do right now hold my breath what i see a lot of people
doing i'm gonna put these side by side so here it is i'm holding my breath
oh i even forgot the combination halfway through and as well if i hold me breath and i'm punching
with all my might and speed you can see i'm getting tired as well now let's put these side by side
and as you can see the relaxation really did win one more time side by side
and now we're going to get on to tip number four this is a method that you can do that's
going to help your punching speed with your long combinations and it is get one of these
things it's a resistance band you can get them from everywhere and what you're going to do is
shadow box wearing one of these another thing you could do is use dumbbells have some light maybe
six pound to eight pound dumbbells in your hand and shadow boxing with them is going to help
your speed on here by throwing combinations with the shadow boxing so as you can see
with this resistance band here what this does is it's pulling my arms back
i'm when i put my arms forward it's pulling them back so what this is going to do
is help improve my speed when i take this off so i'm going to throw the combination
there it's there with the resistance band let's put my arms back again
now when i take the resistance band off and i throw a combination
you see i'm much faster so that idea is a training method that you can do when training not hitting
the bag training long combinations is use a resistance band or use some dumbbells and i
would recommend if you're doing a three minute round use the resistance band for 45 seconds
off for 45 on for 45 off for the last 45 and using that resistance band thinking about
the other three tips that i've just given you on this video which is know what combination
you're going to throw thinking about speed staying relaxed as well and that right there
will help you improve your speed with long combinations and before i get into the bonus
