There is so much information to process in Tony’s longer tutorials that some of the details are easy to miss. Short videos like this concentrating on just one aspect of boxing are gold.

I actually used to do the opposite of the second mistake and stand too low, 'cause I wanted to "sit" on my punches better. Thankfully my coach noticed it and I generally corrected it by now. Still I need to work on my distance management, 'cause I tend to go in too much instead of throwing longer punches, using my reach advantage as a taller guy. I still have SO much to learn when it comes to boxing, yet looking at all its nuance it's rather encouraging and inspiring than disheartening. Couldn't've chosen better when it comes to picking a martial art to train!

I’ve just started binging your videos since subbing months ago, and man I have to say; your tutorials are perfect, along with the short and to the point-length videos. I’ve always been a fan of the conventional Euro style.

Mate you forgot number 6: never miss Tony's latest vid :D Awesome stuff as usual tho, thanks a lot for sharing the wisdom!

I consider you as one of my striking coaches

[rombenjamintolentino]

Good Video coach! I'd like to ask if you could make a video about what boxing gloves, shoes etc. are the best for a beginner

[WilliamPTuffs]

Hi Tony, great video! Is it possible to make a video on the shoe shine exercise/drill for better speed?

I am so grossly overweight that I decided to join a boxing gym to drop some weight and pick up some self defense skills. Today was the first day and Its my very first striking experience. I was so exhausted by the end of the class, but I REALLY loved it and can’t wait to go back and do some more training. I learned fighter stance, moving forward and back, bobbing, jab, straight cross, left hook and right hook. I was overwhelmed at first because I don’t think I EVER threw a punch at anyone in my life 😂 but watching these videos helps a lot with my introduction and basics. I need to drop 60lbs and want to get proficient with my boxing. Who knows, maybe I’ll even do a amateur competition or two just for the fun of it. 😎 Thanks for posting, I’ll be sure to subscribe.

Hey Tony, thank you! I gain so much from your videos! Keep up the hard work man!

[DPGkilla]

Great stuff. Can you do one on the peek-a-boo style?

[laughtermaster]

Can you do a video on Julio Cesar Chavez? He broke rule #5 and stood more square than anyone and was a badass! Modern martial artist did a great breakdown video on him. Wanted to see MY MAN Tony talk about him.

[dwaynecunningham]

Awesome! I think this is one of your most important lessons.

[openenquiry]

Great video! All your contents are excellent Tony. Thank you!

[DJ-Q]

I train Boxing and Muay Thai. Sometimes it's hard to change stances between the two disciplines. Boxing you're bladed and bent forward, Muay Thai you're square and straight backed.

Hello Coach Tony, i need your help on this one

Im an MMA fighter, and when I spar I always make the mistake of losing my guard (letting my hands down), I cut the range, throw my punches and then on my way back my hands are always down which leads to me eating all the counter punches. Any tips that could help me to keep my guard?

[golovkinbuhwan]

Tony what do you think the fight between barrios vs Thurman play out

[applestar]

Tony jeffries you are the boxing genius 😊
