As a beginner boxer you need to avoid these mistakes. If you can avoid these beginner mistakes from the start of the learning process, life is much easier. Once you get past the 'beginner boxer' stage, going back and fixing these mistakes is more difficult than simply avoiding them in the first place.

I would say that the best piece of 'boxing for beginners' advice I can give is to avoid these errors from the outset. If you can see that you are making any of these mistakes, put some effort into fixing them (this means drilling the correct execution over and over again).

As a beginner boxer, and even as an advanced boxer, it's not possible to be brilliant all of the time. It is however possible to 'avoid dumb'. Being aware of these beginner mistakes in your style and NOT doing something about it constitutes DUMB.

This truly is Boxing for Beginners 101.

"we can't be brilliant all the time, but we can avoid dumb" ... WISDOM!!!

I'm not a boxer, but I've been a subscriber for many years. I was in a few fights in my younger days, but there was no boxing involved, just punches. I live in Detroit Mi, USA. There's a lot of crime here. I never look for a fight. But if a brawler ever tries to punch me out, I believe I could defend myself using boxing skills. Some skills I've picked up from some of your videos. This video just to me, just explained the basics, like the ABC's of beginner boxing. Good video for someone just starting out.

Glad to see you're uploading again - great video 😊

"The line" is one of his cemented pride and joys. You have to study under him to know
what hes talking about. First starting out its more dificult than you think especially while
throwing punches: but he DRILLS IT SO MUCH one day youll be goofing around warming
up and notice you automatically stand like that.

Thank you Coach Frans, this could save somebody’s life

[chuck_in_socal]

Yea. Day 1.. I got hit a lot because I'd move my hands/arms to block punches. I quickly learned that I didn't need to move them very far, and it's good to keep them where they're going to be needed. Day 2 ... Figured out I need to keep my head moving when I'm close to the opponent. Get in and get out. Never just stand there! Good stuff.

[DavidUrbina-ggzx]

That's excellent advice and I actually learned a few things from the video thanks for sharing left a like to the video ☺🤙

THE BASICS that you, as a great coach, always put first!!

[jaysinmoussa]

Spot on as always, Fran.

My coach had me throw nothing but straight shots for a year. It still took me ages to nail the straight back hand - proper shoulder roation without over-rotating the rear leg.

[byroktheclock]

Fundamentals are key. I will be looking for all of these in my next shadow boxing session.

[itumelengsegopolo]

Nice and solid, Fran. No frills; just sensible and rememberable stuff that's instinctive to remember because it's just sensible.

[James-txe]

Amazing explanation. I'm going to study everything I can find from coach fran.

Common mistake i see in our club that im always drumming into the lads, is chin goung in air when moving off opponents worl, looking over the gloves.
The main reason of many not to do that is,
Now your off balance, any counter are lacking power or can be countered more easily.
And if your against a pressure fighter, chin up moving backwards will see your heels hit the canvas, you will become stuck and your arse is now on canvas

Chin dowm, Heels off

[philliphenshall]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Yep foot work mistake got fixed. Thanks

[duckmcfly]

Vital fundamentals most important, thanks

[mathswithvishal]

you teaches really well fran, big fan

[bensisko]

Don't forget mistake number 11... supporting Everton 🤣🥊⚽

[benjaminj.]

Brilliant! Thanks Fran. One mistake that I have difficulty with getting out of my system is that I automatically extend my arms when someone punches at me during sparring. Deeply annoying habit to drill out.

[SupremegreenlawncareLLC]

I am/was, dropping my non punching hand. Thanks for the help!🙏🏿
