Boxing Footwork | 6 Footwork Defenses with Counter Punches for Boxing on the Heavy Bag:

The first thing you should know is your boxing stance which depends on what your dominant hand is; left or right. You can quickly determine your dominant hand as it's more than likely the hand you use to write. If you are left-handed, you should stand with your right foot forward and left foot back (also known as the South Paw Stance). On the other hand, if you are right-handed, you should stand with your left foot forward and right foot back (also known as the Orthodox Stance).

I am right-handed, so in this video, I'll show you the orthodox stance. When standing, your front foot should be pointing at one o'clock while your back foot is pointing at around two o'clock. The next step is to visualize a line in between the two feet, one foot on either side of the line. You never want to have two feet on the same line. To make this easy, you can draw a straight line between your feet or use tape to mark it down.

Another essential tip is to loosen your knees as though you are on a skateboard/ surfboard. You should also have your elbows tucked in, hands up, by the left and right feet respectively. Once you have this boxing stance down, the next step is to work on the basics of movement;

When you move forward, you need to step forward with your front foot first regardless of whether you are in orthodox or southpaw stance. On the other hand, whenever you need to move backwards, you should move with your back foot first. The same principle applies when moving left or right, by moving either left foot first or right foot first. This is the basic movement in boxing.

After working on the basic movement, we'll need to work on the basic punches. The first punch you'll need to learn is your lead hand/ front hand. I am right-handed, so I'll use my left hand, this punch is called the Jab/ number one. The next punch is number two, in my case, the right hand ( this will be opposite if you are southpaw); remember to exhale as you throw this punch. Note that this part will feel awkward at first but should get better with enough practice.

The next step will be adding the combo, which is basically the combination of the (one, two, hook, two punches). I Illustrate how to do this on the video. The combo method is essential as it ensures that as the first punch is coming back, you are already throwing the next punch, no pause in between, giving you an added advantage in boxing sport.

Always remember when throwing your punches to pull your hand back twice as fast as you throw your punch. Guarding yourself is just as if not more important than just your punching.

Recently lost my 18 year old son hit by a dui driver. He was a great athlete had a D1 football scholarship. Struggling terribly these past few months & I'm trying to get back into shape. This is really helping me, not too advanced & enough to just improve off of. Helps me get out all the negative energy that constantly builds up. We were inseparable & he wanted me to be more healthy. Thank you, I was in (still am some days) a bad place but you never know who you might inspire or help change their life by putting up a video.

[jackjoyce__]

Been struggling a lot with bullies and could never fight back finally deciding to learn a bit of boxing video has definitely helped me learn the basics thank you

[PitBullmom]

I've been using a couple of your videos to mostly learn movement and weight shifting. I lost my left leg almost a year ago and although I'm in physical therapy I still felt I needed something that would be easier for me to learn shifting weight from foot to foot and body stance. So far I'm finding your videos helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these video's and sharing them for ppl to learn.

Great breakdown, Tony. Top quality. Glad to see a top fighter putting put some content.

[dangwood]

I learned more about fighting in this 5 minute video than I have in my 35 years of existence. And that includes about 5 or 6 fights when I was younger. (More like ass beatings though 😂)

[strokeside]

Super beginner here. I think I have never punched anything ever!

I am glad to have come across this video! I am trying to learn to shadow box because it seems like a wrist-friendly way to work my arms (since I cant do push-ups or carry weights while suffering from De Quervain's Tenosynovitis). I will try this in my next workout session!

[captinbrooster]

I have an issue with overthinking and I found it very helpful you admitted its going to feel uncomfortable and awkward at first, you have really great instructions and you don't beat around the bush I like that

This is very helpful. I have a personal training background but absolutely 0 fighting experience. As you mentioned hooks are very awkward at first and I had no idea where to throw them in. Now I've got a basic understanding. Thanks!

[itso]

Man, you don't look at all intimidating but the look in your eyes tells a dangerous tale. Thanks for the insight and great lesson. I'm thinking about getting into boxing at an older age as means to fitness and this video is exactly what I was looking for.

[blackbat]

I was angry and i needed to hit my boxing bag so here i am

[sarahosinovsky]

Fantastic explanations! My son is keen on learning to box. He is 8. He thinks I know everything, and always asks me about it. I knew about the orthodox stance and how to “correctly” punch. Not much about movement. Since I was just punching a bag. Now, I can start him off with the basics correctly. I already have his little boxing gloves 🥊 🥊. Thank you Tony!

Best boxing instructor ever! I’ve been doing this for 10min and I’m already falling in love with it
