number 12 if you're focusing on technique over speed and power you will become better so many
people out there are trying to punch really fast and really hard and nothing about the technique
slow it down work on good form good technique and then we can always speed up after that
number 11 balls of your feet when you're moving side to side forwards and backwards
always be moving on the balls of your feet no matter where you are because in this position
here now i can always throw punches but if you're plotting flat footed here you can't really throw
them punches and as well you can't move fast if you're flat-footed when you're on your toes you
can spring backwards and forwards into range slam the punches out the range to get out of danger
so always move on the balls of your feet it's common for us to want to be black flat footed
because when we walk the idiot heel toe heel toe we're getting the habits of moving on them toes by
all means you can be flat-footed while you're here when you're moving on the toes and on this video
i'm going to give you 10 more small tips that will make a big difference in your boxing game and if
i had to guess tip number four is something that you really really need so make sure you watch the
tip number four and if you're new to this channel my name is tony jeffries olympic medalist boxer
former undefeated professional seven times national champion european gold medalist
and on this youtube channel i give you everything boxing so make sure you hit that subscribe button
and turn on that bell notifications for more videos like this now let's get straight into
number 10 and it's this small slips rather than big slips often people will be hitting their
heavy bag and they'll throw that one too and then they'll slip down here look right down here if i'm
this far down i'm off balance and i can't throw any punches from there and it's unnecessary we
need to slip the amount of a glove which is around eight inches so you've got a line in between your
feet like there now i'm just need to slip get my head off that set line just enough for that glove
to go flying past me and as well if i through want to slip now i'm in this perfect position now
warmth for the counter or if i'm slipping to my other way i'll throw a jab slip there
just enough head off the center line for that glove to go past one fire back so number 10
is small slips not big slips number nine can you tell me what i'm doing wrong here
what's wrong with this boxing style i'm turning my hips i'm still relaxed hands going back the
face right but look where my chin is now to you this might not look like my chin is high but it's
too high i could get clipped over the top there cost my chains in this position we need to get
our chin down just there a couple more inches so from here to here when you keep your chin down
there's way less chance of you getting hit but you might be thinking well i don't spot anyway
and if you don't spot you still should keep your chin down because it just looks better rather than
this guy be this guy chin down looking up through your eyebrows like this and as well because my
chin's down if i throw that jab look and someone tries to get the overhand right my chin's kind
of covered a little bit with my shoulder there and that is not by bringing my shoulder up put
my chin down this is something that i've spoke about so many times on this channel before and
that is exhaling with each punch staying relaxed it's so easy for us to get tight
and you know waste lots of energy and not breathe because we think that if we hold our breath
we're going to get more power in the punch but no you need to relax exhale with each punch
this way your punches will be have better technique that will be faster and you will gain
more power exhale so never forget that and this kind of leads me on number seven which is my eyes
my eyes should be facing forward all the time no matter what i'm doing there's not a worse position
in the fight that you could be in than this right here you're looking down at the floor because you
don't know what's going to come and the punches that do the damage is the punch that you can't
see now if you're down here you can't see the punches and you will get hurt so eyes up all the
time whether you are slipping rolling no matter where you are in the ring pivoting eyes up facing
forward at your opponent and the place that i like to look is in the chest right there because if
i'm looking at your chest i can see your feet your hands if they're out here my peripheral vision can
see everything so i always like to keep my eyes up forward under my opponent's chest there or if
you're on the heavy back my eyes facing forward on that bag all the time no matter what i'm
doing those number six this one is always think about defense it's easy for us to be on the back
and you know punching away and forgetting about defense or shadow boxing here even if you're not
planning on sparring or fighting you should always be adding defenses in there because you just look
like a better boxer so if i throw a job i've thought about that defense for that one too i've
defended there defending always thinking about that defense and that will take you from looking
like an average fighter to a top level fighter and now once you've thought about the defense what you
can do after that is think about the counter punch so i'm here i'll throw the punches i've
defended then i can come back with counter punches as well which will just take you to the next level
number five is step when you roll now we know we will do a one-two roll we'll be here which is good
and this is basic stuff but if you step with the roll you're gonna be able to change that angle
and come at your opponent from a different angle now if you think this is my guy right here i threw
a one two rather than roll and stay in that same position now i fall out one two i roll
now i've changed the angle and i come at him from a different angle which makes it more complicated
for him it's a more advanced move but if you roll with your step it will get you more advanced and
it will make you better at boxing now before we move on to number four which is something that i
guarantee you're doing i need to talk about the sponsor of today's video something you need for
recovery which you probably not getting enough of is good quality sleep now did you know that body
temperature is one of the main causes of bad sleep whether you're too hot you're too cold you're
tossing and turning now i want to tell you about a fantastic product that i've been using and since
we've been using this at my home my sleep has improved massively and this is the pod pro cover
from italy this is a cover that goes over your current mattress this mattress cover tracks your
body temperature and it tailors it so you can get the best sleep ever data shows that eight sleep
users experience over a 19 increase of recovery 32 percent improvement of sleep quality and a 34
more deeper sleep and also another thing it splits the bed so if you like a cool and your mrs likes
it warm you can do that as well which for me it's absolute game changer so i like it very cold where
the missus likes it just a little bit cool it's perfect so you can get 150 off this mattress cover
that's a lot of money just go to eightsleep.com forward slash boxing and get 150 off this today
the link is below number four this is the mistake that i know that you're making because i even make
it often right now after all these years of boxing and that is dropping your non-punching hand and if
you think tony i don't do that just get a video of you watch it in slow motion and i guarantee
that you'll throw one two hook and this will come down here before it goes up there or you'll throw
a one two and this will drop down here it happens all the time like i said even with me when i watch
my videos back that i post on youtube i'm like oh no i hope no one notices that but now you will
notice so dropping your non-punching hand you want to always bring it back to your face no matter
what punch you're throwing that non-punching hand should be always by your face number three is when
you're throwing straight punches fully extend them so many times i'll see this here where the
arms are bent if you throw your arms bent even if you turn on your hips you're not getting that
full power in your punch you want to really rotate and throw it as far as you can punch through the
target and right there this arm is solid there's no bend in this arm so fully extend every time you
throw them straight punches and you'll see your power just increase moving on number two is your
hips and turning them when you throw punches because if you don't turn your hips these are
arm punches but as soon as you turn these hips like this you're going to get way more power
in their punches no matter what punch it is you're thrown and as well with your hips you want to be
turning your hips when you're slipping when you're rolling it's all in the hips if you move your hips
your feet will do its own thing now move round number one is your hands when you're not punching
the bag you're here hands is relaxed i'm here if i'm not punching anything i'm here then i'll do
a tight fist then i'll punch then i'll come back relax in here tie fist then i'll punch then i'm
relaxing here now for everything i've just showed you we're more in depth click here for all in the
guide the box and this is the best video i've ever created click here and watch this next
