Control Distance with Boxing Footwork

In this video, I emphasize the importance of controlling distance with footwork, a fundamental skill that significantly impacts both offensive and defensive strategies in boxing. Effective distance control, which is governed by the feet, allows you to avoid punches while setting up your own shots. I demonstrate a key drill that focuses on in-and-out movement combined with lateral motion, helping you to become less predictable and more elusive in the ring. Mastering this skill not only makes you harder to hit, but it also enables you to land your own punches more effectively, while ensuring you have the conditioning to sustain this throughout the rounds.

Evasive Boxing Footwork | How to Turn Your Opponent

In this video, I teach you the critical skill of turning your opponent in the ring, which is essential for outmaneuvering powerful fighters who rely on coming straight at you. You’ll learn how to make your opponent constantly adjust their footing while you stay fluid, pivoting, and circling. These drills will help you disrupt their rhythm, keeping you in control and opening up opportunities for counterattacks.

Boxing Defense and Footwork

In this video, I teach you how to integrate footwork with your defense—a crucial skill in boxing. Without proper movement, even the best defense can leave you vulnerable, turning you into an easy target for your opponent. I’ll show you how to stay mobile while defending, making it harder for your opponent to land punches and giving you the upper hand in the ring. If you’re serious about stepping up your defensive game and avoiding becoming a stationary target, click the video and start mastering these drills now!

In this video, we’re breaking down a footwork drill that combines speed, mobility, and power to help you become more efficient in your boxing. The key here is learning how to incorporate speed with power, especially when you’re on the move. Often, you need to land fast punches to set up your power shots, and sometimes you can’t just plant your feet and swing for power. This drill is going to teach you how to blend your speed with your power, so you can deliver those fast punches without losing any momentum while still maintaining an effective offensive and defensive strategy.
