Teaching the Hook & Uppercut to Beginners: 'Bicep on Forearm'

Many beginners have trouble learning the hook and uppercut, as the mechanics are different from straight punches. This "bicep on forearm" boxing drill was taught to me by Coach K of CSA Gym, and is great for teaching proper placement and hip rotation.

that beginner guy seems to have a lot of power though! 👍

[Spartans]

This actually helps quite a bit. Thanks Shane!

The sound the mitts emit is so satisfying.

[timkennedyLA]

So are you going to do a review or share your thoughts on the Mayweather vs Connor fight soon

[yaqoubalshatti]

I would love to see more in depth tutorials of hip movement, It's seems unintuitive to beginners and myself.

How to use uppercuts effectively? I think throwing one makes me so vulnerable

[wardschaerlaekens]

These are just little things but still very interesting...
Thank you Shane

[swekiwi]

Love the little things. Like bumping with the bicep. Clever!

[WarSongakaCourage]

Thx Shane for the hook and uppercut tips. You're a fight scientist too, you rock dude.

Do a series about some combos on boxing, kickboxing, muaythai and mma

[ryanlarkin]

In my opinion I don't see why Shane doesn't open his own gym, I've been watching his videos for over a year now and he clearly has a great knowledge of mma, he even knows how to run a gym from looking at his new series, if he did open his own gym I'd love to visit and learn from him in person.

Its really nice how you bring these different people on! Been watching you for such a long time, really great to see you doing better and better each time!

[somemysteriousguy]

hey shane, can you do a video on what to do if someone catches your kick?

[FadeBlackSS]

Just began praticing Muay Thai and I've been feeling really awkward when throwing hooks. This is very helpful.

[VincentMMALife]

Shane can you do a video on McGregor vs Mayweather? The up and down sides of both fighters and how they could beat eachother or potential lose.

[anjandas]

wow thanks for da tips shane. will practice these more often. i just cudn get the form right, but this video explains it clearly

[JoeChalk]

Thanks for the video Shane! Been having problems with my rear hooks and rear uppercuts

[BobbyLunsford]

Great breakdown. Just a heads up, the gentleman holding the mitts was only slapping the punches that hard for effect. There should be some resistance but not enough to where you jam up the punches. Doing so can hurt a fighter's wrist, hands, elbows or shoulder.

Great video! Can you do a quick video someday regarding how important it is for a fighter to come from a big trainingcamp? Is there any benefits to training in a small gym ?

[broadcastful]

Cool video Shane but longer, more thorough explanations will always come in handy.
