What's going on, you guys!
JT here again with Nate Bower, NateBowerFitness.
And today I want to show you a drill, that's gonna help for hand speed,
help for getting off your combinations a lot easier, a lot faster.
And that is working dexterity,
working fluidity in the shoulder with your punching.
Basically, you want to be able to get off any punch
after anything that you've done before.
So, if you've thrown a jab, you want to be able to get off any punch after that jab.
Whether it be from the right side, or the left side.
Or if you've thrown a lead uppercut,
you don't want to always be in the same pattern of lead uppercut,
"Oh, the only thing I got is the overhand right." :(
Maybe you want to throw lead uppercut, hook, and jab, jab.
So this is gonna help with your fluidity.
Sort of, help with almost, like, a mental - physical connection.
In this drill we're gonna show a pattern,
and then we're gonna work it as, sort of, like a drill,
that you can do solo or on your own.
I'm gonna show you how to work that.
The initial pattern to start, is
jab, lead uppercut, lead hook.
So let's just start with that.
The key also is to play with it.
Don't go hard in muscle,
you want to, kind of, go light, and let yourself feel loose while you're doing it.
So Nate is gonna start jab, uppercut, hook.
Nice and easy.
And when you throw the uppercut, you really want to explore those angles.
Straight,
uppercut, straight up,
hook coming across
to really cut through the air with different angles of the arm.
There, that's it, nice and easy, same pace, steady pace.
Pah!-
Pah!-Pah!
Pah!-Pah!-Pah!
A little slower, little slower.
Pah!-
Pah!-Pah!-
Pah!-Pah!-Pah!
Now, what I want to build fluidity from here
is for him to be able to do this 2-3 times in a row.
So we'll hop back, and Nate is gonna go
jab, uppercut, hook, jab, uppercut, hook.
Here we go.
There, nice, twice in a row,
and sort of, flow evenly, with it kind of, relaxed, while doing it.
Less body, more arm to get the shoulder dynamic.
Good.
Now let's see if we can try to get him do it three times in a row.
But no pressure, it's easy.
Nice and easy pace.
Three times in a row.
That's it.
So now we're getting his shoulder used to working in different angles consecutively,
before and after each other.
Let's do it with the right side.
We're gonna go straight right,
uppercut, hook.
We'll keep it at that.
Good, getting used to throwing different punches off of different punches.
That's right, he's used to throwing the...
He's used to throwing certain patterns,
this is gonna break up the pattern a little bit.
Straight, uppercut, hook.
Good, straight, uppercut, hook.
Good!
So now I'm gonna try to get him to do it twice in a row.
Straight, uppercut, hook, twice in a row.
Good, now he's moving different ways.
Good, very little power.
More fluidity in the arm, easy on the power.
Good, and we move.
Again.
Good, nice and easy, again.
Now we go back to the left side,
straight, uppercut, hook, twice in a row.
Pam!-
Pam!-Pam!-
Pam!-Pam!-Pam!
Pam!-
Pam!-Pam!-
Pam!-Pam!-Pam!
See, now the fluidity starts to kick in.
Go on left to right, back and forth.
Good, back to the right side.
Good!
So this is just a pattern to get you familiar with the idea
of working fluid with one side.
I can go twice here in a row,
twice here.
Hook, uppercut, straight, straight, hook, uppercut...
Whatever you want.
So now I want to be able to get Nate and you
to be able to do your own thing.
Now, if you're with a partner,
all you have to do is hold the ball or hold something that you can hit.
If you're on the bag, you can hit the bag, or just work shadowboxing.
So here, I have a medicine ball.
One of these soft medicine balls.
So now Nate can start to work whatever comes to mind,
he's gonna go on one side, throw some shots,
when he's kinda tired and done with that, then he's gonna switch to the other side.
This was you start kind of grooving your own patterns and new connections.
All right, so here we go, we start to play.
And he's just trying to throw anything off of anything.
From a hook to an uppercut to a straight.
Just get those shoulders used to breaking the typical pattern.
The typical pattern is,
one-two-three,
one-two-three-two,
six-three-two, often left and right.
Double jab, right hand, lead hook.
So I'm trying to get him to break from that.
The other thing I can do while I'm holding this,
is I can adjust range.
So he's starting to punch long range.
Boom, he's playing with it, nice and light.
Then I can keep him where he is, but I move in on him.
And he has to stay, you stay put.
Get him used to working different angles.
Yeah, look at that.
Playing a bit.
Then we're back working long range.
So a lot of times in your boxing
you're mentally caught in patterns.
Boom, you know.
Boom-
Boom-boom.
Not only do you want to break from those patterns mentally,
but physically.
You may not be used to throwing a jab,
and then an uppercut and then a hook off of that.
So you want to start to discover new patterns,
get new fluid motions going,
and this is one drill that's gonna help you
to be able to throw almost anything from anywhere.
Regardless of what you just threw in advance.
We got a new video on Nate's channel
