Boxing Footwork Drills Master Class

So a real boxing footwork drills master class here, alongside this I answer some questions posed by the subscribers of my channel.

Why are boxing footwork drills important and why does using boxing footwork drill patterns help?

  • The pattern provides an excellent guide, a point of reference to assist your movement.
  • You are able to use structure to visualise and execute effective sequences.
  • Repetition of actions leads to instinctive responses.
  • Just as with firefighters, soldiers, police and medics you can get to a place where ‘the training takes over’.
Boxing Footwork Drills Master Class

I work through 2 boxing footwork drill patterns in the video.

For the purposes of saving space, I have combined both of these into a single drill pattern:

As well as covering off Boxing Footwork Drills in detail, I also give answers to 3 questions:

1. I am right handed but feel more comfortable in the southpaw stance. In the orthodox stance both hands feel weak. In the southpaw stance the jab feels great but the left (back hand) feels week. What are some tips for strengthening my back hand.

2. Do you think that someone can actually learn boxing without going to a gym to be trained? Can someone really learn from the Internet?

3. How can you tell if someone is going to be a boxer or not (physically and mentally)?

If you have any questions, please do place them below and with a bit of luck I may be able to respond to them by video.

Cheers

Fran

    Great video Fran. Some interesting points there.
    We made are made to do drills until they are coming out of our
    ears. Our coaches do not let us go until they are done.
    Movement, movement, movement.

    THANKS.

      Hello Chris

      Yes mate, coaches know the value of this stuff. The basics just never let you down mate! Thanks for your comment 🙂

    Great video Fran. One question please, after completing the angled side step are you at 45 degrees to your original position? Or a narrower angle than that? Thanks.

      Hello Bob. Narrower mate, I’d say 20 to 30 degrees.
