can you tell me what i'm doing wrong here
no look good pretty fast sharp what about with me right hand i'm gonna do the same thing
again it looks pretty sharp because i did as fast and you might not be able to tell but right there
i'm telegraphing me punches which makes them a lot slower and it's a very common mistake that i see
is people telegraphing their punches and another big one that i see is this
that there a big telegraph that's not going to hit anyone so we don't want
to be throwing punches like this and on this video i'm going to show you
exactly what you need to be doing the next time you're in the gym to be able to one identify
you telegraphing the punches and two how to fix it how to be able to throw punches
faster and sharper so you look better and also if you're in there with someone they're not going to
be able to see your punches coming and at the end of this video i want to give you one thing
that you can do the very next time you're in the gym that is going to really help your punches
be very unpredictable and make you look like a professional so make sure you hang around the end
to see that bonus tip right there if you're new to this channel my name is tony jeffries i'm an
olympic medalist boxer former undefeated professional seven times national champion
european gold medalist as well and on this youtube channel i give you lots of boxing education
videos so make sure you subscribe and hit that bell notification for more videos like this all
right let's get into this video so loading up your punches firstly why do we do it why is this coming
and that right there what i was loading up my punches pulling it back pushing forward and the
reason it's so common is because you think that you're going to get more power in the punch when
you are pulling it back and pulling it forward pulling it back going forward and you might actually get a
little bit more power in the punch you know when i think about it i've been on them punch ball
machines at the fairground of events and what i do to get the most power in them is i kind of run up
and blast it there big telegraph and i get i do get a lot of power in it so that's why we
do telegraph punches because we think that we can get more power into the punch but
like i said earlier on if you do this your punches will be slower we don't want to punch
slow we want to punch fast so another thing is if you're in there with an opponent especially
someone with experience if they see this or this they're moving they've blocked
yeah something as small as this they're not going to land that punch so when you are punching it's
got to be fast and unpredictable like this like that right there i didn't telegraph or a one two
i'm never not telegraphing the punches there and i'm going to show you exactly how to do
it but first i'm going to tell you how do you identify it to know that you're making these
mistakes especially if you're working out on your own it's hard to be able to see or tell if you're
doing this and if you are doing this you probably don't realize it because you you don't realize it
until you're in there with a coach with experience who can tell you you're telegraphing your punches
so this is what you've got to do get your cell phone with a camera or get a camera and i want
you to put it on a tripod or you can even stand it on a bench and then from there video yourself
record yourself boxing on the heavy bag and you can even put it in slow motion if you put it in
slow motion you'll be able to see if your punches are being telegraphed or not so do this set it up
and then and then punch from there then when you when you are watching your video back you will be
able to see if you are making that mistake or not and if you are making that mistake you've
just identified you've got a problem with your boxing so now you've identified that you're in
this bad habit how do you get over it well the first thing that you've got to do is think about
it now you're aware of it think about it when you're on a heavy bag think about the mistake that
you're making then improve it by doing it right and that's what you've got to do you've got to
think about it and then do it think about it do it think about it and do it right every single time
until you get to the point of being able to do it without having to think about now see this all the
time on my channel think about do it until you get the point where you don't have to think about and
it comes automatically and that's how you get into good habits no matter what your bad habits are is
by thinking about the problem and then doing it correctly so that's the big thing right
there now the other thing that you've got to do is think about speed every punch doesn't have to be
hard like that one you're going to get tired and out of breath but two it's not realistic think
about speed and that will get you out of this habit if you're thinking about your fast punches
like that now right there i never loaded up any of them punches and i never telegraphed any of
them punches because i'm thinking about good speed and when you think about the good speed
you're not going to telegraph because you haven't got time to pull it back
and then throw that punch so right there we're going to think about it and do it we're going to
think about speed and this way your opponent or whoever's in front of you is never going
to be able to see your punches coming and that's what we want to do we always want to be one step
ahead and not letting this guy even though it is a heavy bag you know getting into them good habits
not allowing anyone to know what you're going to do next and i'm about to give you a great great
tip for you to do the very next time you're in the gym that's going to really help you get better
at not being able to predict any punches ever but before i do that i need to tell you about

about well it really is what you've got to do is move before and after every punch if you're
here on the heavy bag and you're moving your head you're moving your hands before you punch
then after every punch the person in front of you hasn't got a clue what you're going
to do now watch this i'm going to give you an example here so i'm moving i'm moving i'm moving
i'm moving before i'm moving before now i'm moving after i'm moving after
