Using Foam Pool Noodle Drills for Improving Boxing Defense

Have you ever seen a boxing coach use foam pool noodles with their fighters and wonder how to properly use them? This video with Shane Fazen and AJ Perez explains how they're great to train while rehabbing injuries, to develop better head movement, blocking, and accuracy.

Something thats practical for me and easy for my wife to help me practice outside the gym. Great idea.

AJ demonstrating an underrated skill: breathing on every moving. Lots of beginners don’t breath during movement and get gassed out. Sounds silly but I see it all the time.

Shane ur videos have helped me so much not just with fighting but with anti-bullying and also giving me inspiration to post videos on my account and have confidence in it as well

[doczinya]

I've been nursing a hand injury while still going to practice. This method is a great solution, thanks!

Hey shane do you have any advice on how to break up 2 people fighting when you dont want to hurt em?

[muhdixierekt]

Best fightchannel ever, keep it up Shane!

You know something brother, I've been in this racket for years. I know talent when I see it, you may not be a great fighter competitively, ( not saying you can't fight or that you can't kick ass, which I'm sure you can handle your self ) But your have talent dripping out your pores as a trainer.

Bought some foam baton sticks yesterday and used them for the first time today after watching this video. Thanks for the help!

[pruthviv]

Great drill to try! Pool noodles are life when I teach kids martial arts! Love your vids guys! Could you do a video on some simple drills that can be done when students are paired instead of with instructor? Would love to then try them in class! #longtimesub #firsttimecommenter #MrAsNinjaArmy

Your family is growing and the love to u in me is growing as well

[alondob]

Love the drill! Gonna implement it for tomorrow's session

[anthonysicily]

Love it. Do you mind if I steal some of these to use in my women’s training class?
I need some low impact training aids and these will be cheap enough to supply the entire class with.

we already use this at my gym, awesome video Shane

[krizzmukhtar]

Nice tip Shane! Im preparing for my first professional muay thai fight and I hope this will really help with my defense!

I got some PEX tubing and Gorilla glued it into some noodles leaving 1.5" unfilled on the end. You can then use them for jabs and the pex makes them a bit stiffer, so you can use them for kicks. I also drilled a hole in a 2x4 and can stick a handle end of the pex into the wall, to practice duck unders and stuff. These are good for kids to be able to practice taking shots without hurting them.

This is a brilliant idea. I don't have anyone to practice or work out with but my wife can easily do this type of stuff.

[Stewcrew]

Awesome drill coach.. You always coming correct.. Thank you.. Enjoy your day

Guy from my gym has me do this with him after class sometimes, with the addition of footwork. It's definitely a good way to practice
