3. 0:08to know to get started my name's Tony Jeffries Olympic medalist boxer former
4. 0:22European champion seven times asked the champion and former undefeated
5. 0:25professional boxer welcome to my youtube channel so I've traveled the world over
6. 0:30the past few years teaching fitness professionals how to teach boxing to
7. 0:34other people I've worked with hundreds of trainers here in the box and burn
8. 0:38gyms and then obviously thousands of other people on social media platforms
9. 0:42in person how to box so I've got a little bit experience let's put it that
10. 0:47way at all when you're going to box the first thing that you need to know is
11. 0:50what boxing stance for you and how we determine that is what is your dominant
12. 0:54hand what we're handy right with your right hand left hand if you're
13. 0:57left-handed you want to stand with your right foot forward left foot back if
14. 1:02you're right-handed like me like most of the people either stand with your left
15. 1:05foot forward and your back foot back this is called the Orthodox stance left
16. 1:09hand it is southpaw this is Orthodox so I'm going to show you an Orthodox some
17. 1:13Orthodox now here we go well I see a left foot forward you got your front
18. 1:18foot pointing out one o'clock your back foot is pointing around two o'clock now
19. 1:23I want you to visualize a line on the ground you've got one foot on one side
20. 1:26one foot on the other side you can even put a pity it down draw a line on the
21. 1:30ground you always want to have one foot on one side one from the other side you
22. 1:33never want to have two feet on the same line I'll explain why in a little bit
23. 1:37now moving up you want your knees you want loose knees if you've ever been on
24. 1:41a surfboard or skateboard you want to have them loose knees like this
25. 1:44you never want to be bent in a squat position you never want to be upright
26. 1:47then moving up the body we don't want to be too square on to bigger table like
27. 1:52this you want to have your shoulder here pointing in parallel with you with your
28. 1:56leg over here so we're not like this and we're not like this you're here like I
29. 2:01see a point in the same direction of you is your hip their elbows elbows are
30. 2:05tucked in hands up by the face here your right hands by your right cheek
31. 2:10bone your left hands just in front of your of your fierce here like this
32. 2:13now this is the boxing stance once you've got your boxing stance then we're going
33. 2:18to work on movement moving forwards backwards side to side when you move
34. 2:21forward you want to stall the step forward with your front foot no matter if
35. 2:24your right hand or left handed you wanna step forward with your front foot like this
36. 2:27when you step back step back with your back foot like this we're stepping
37. 2:30forward stepping back step forward step back I don't want to move ten inches
38. 2:37with this foot and then 20 inches for this foot where my feet come together
39. 2:40like this I want to keep that seam distance in between my feet all the time
40. 2:44forward back when you move to your left left foot first when you move to your
41. 2:48right right foot first and again you want to get that line in between your
42. 2:51feet all the time left and right left and right now that's the basic movement
43. 2:56now get on the basic punches your first which will have work on is your lead
44. 3:00hand your front hand and right hand let's watch my left hand we call that
45. 3:04with job or the number one you read through that comes from your fist comes
46. 3:07all the way out all over the back slide turn on the hip and you want to exhale as
47. 3:11well for the extent you want to punch out you want to turn your knuckles on
48. 3:16the end and you want to aim straight in front of your head there we're not
49. 3:19coming across or go across there but straight down the middle
50. 3:23next punch is the number two your cross your power hand my right hand if you're
51. 3:27a south paw its your left hand the way we throw that it comes from the face comes all the way
52. 3:31out all over your back turning that hip exhale when we turn that a hip this is
53. 3:37what puts the power behind the punch keeping your chin down exhaling and if
54. 3:43I want to freeze there now I've got sixty percent the weights on my front
55. 3:46foot me back heels off the ground me hips are parallel and then bring it back
56. 3:50next which really well one is the hook of number three we always want to throw
57. 3:54this when we start enough off the one two because when you throw the one two
58. 3:57you're in that perfect position to throw the hook so the way we threw that we're
59. 4:01gonna fall out 1 2 as the 2 comes back to the face your lead hands will come
60. 4:06out round on a 90 degree angle with your thumb up top now this is your first time
61. 4:11this will feel awkward don't worry about it feels awkward for everyone so the
62. 4:16it feels awkward don't worry about it you can just keep practicing until it
63. 4:19gets more comfortable one two hook now if I hold it there I've got the
64. 4:25weight on the back foot 60%
65. 4:27since in the back foot 40 percents in the front foot my front heels off the
66. 4:29ground my hips round I'm still facing forward after up my chin down the hands
67. 4:34just in front or just past the face my other hands here now what we're going to
68. 4:42do we're going to add on that last punch 4 punch combination we will do a one
69. 4:46two hook two so through that one two hook all I'm going to do with the hook
70. 4:53it's bringing a back to me face as I for the two one two hook two now with all
71. 4:59these punches when one punch is coming back that's when the other punch is
72. 5:03going out it's not one two that's one two as this coming back this is
73. 5:09coming out you should want to hook two and then from there we can go from the
74. 5:16top where you move forward move back move left move right the jab the one two
75. 5:22one two hook two and practice and so on and so on now I challenge you to start a
