on this video i'm going to show you
six common mistakes beginners use when
they are boxing
number six is probably the most common
mistake so make sure you watch the video
for that and make sure you're not doing
that mistake
because everyone does it and if you
correct these mistakes it will 100%
improve your boxing
my name is tony jeffries olympic
medalist boxer former undefeated
professional
seven times national champion european
champion welcome to my youtube channel
the first common mistake i see is people
dropping their non-punching hand
all the time they'll throw a one two and
the left hand will come down here if the
pan
is not throwing a punch it should be by
your face all the time
one two hook say that all the time
the non-punching hand it should be
always by the face no matter what punch
your throwing head or body the non-punching
hand
by your face at all times common mistake
number two is your chin where's your
chin your chin should be down
looking up through your eyes often this
even that there
might not look that i've got my chin up
what you might be expecting but just
this here
my chin is too high and in boxing if
i've got my chin this high
chances are i'm getting hit hard and i'm
getting hurt so you want to keep that
chin down
chin down
common mistake number three is not
turning your hips to transfer your
weight
into the punches i'll see often where
people throw arm punches
now this right here it might look good
it might sound good to the uneducated
eye but
really you're not getting any power in
your punches to get power into your
punch
you need to turn your hips and transfer
your weight
especially on that cross and that hook
transfer their weight to the front foot
to the back foot
transfer your weight turn them hips
practice practice practice
turning them hips common mistake number
four is crossing your feet when moving
backwards and forwards side to side when
you move to your left you always want to
move your left foot first followed by
your right when you move to your right
right foot first
when you move forward front foot when
you move back back foot i'll see it
often people will step to the left with
the right foot
and this will happen you can see what's
happened there i've crossed terrible
position
i'm off balance i can't throw any
punches from this position so make sure
you never cross your feet see him if
you're moving right
never move your left foot first you
don't want to be in this position
moving right right foot movement left
left foot first common mistake number
five
kind of links in with common mistake
number four with the movement
but it is flat footed people will be
moving around
flat footed or they'll be doing heel toe
heel toe
i see this all the time heel two heel
two
when you're moving backwards and
forwards you want to be on your toes if
you're on your toes
you can always throw punches no matter
where you are
and you can defend as well if i'm
standing with my heel like this and
someone throws a punch
i can't really push off to defend that
punch but if i'm on my toe
i can punch off so make sure you're on
your toes when you're moving
side to side common mistake number six
the biggest
mistake that i see first-timers
beginners
even people's box for a long time make
is
breathing yes breathing you might think
it's similar breathe
we breathe all day every day without
even have to think about it
but when it comes to boxing and throwing
punches
it's very common for people to hold
their breath
and try and load them punches up if
you're holding your breath
when you're punching you're going to
waste way too much energy you're not
going to get the speed into your punches
you're not going to get the power into
your punches because you're too tight
and too tense you need to stay relaxed
and exhale with every punch
when you do that you're going to get
maximum speed maximum power
into your punches and reserve a lot of
energy if you enjoyed this video
