Also If your opponent is constantly countering a certain punch, use a feint to set a trap and checkmate their counter.

When you talk about the perfect stance or a great foundational stance, Sugar Ray Leonard is on the Mount Rushmore. 🥊 He should be in everyone’s go-to video archive for mastering the basic stance. People always talk about styles, but there are core fundamental basics to the boxing stance that apply regardless. Sugar Ray never let his feet get too wide in his stance, allowing him to be both pliable and elusive with his upper body movement while smoothly moving around his opponent—even walking around them. He never had to bring his feet closer together to walk naturally in the ring. Also his entire feet stayed close to the floor, providing great leverage on his punches and balance in his upper body movement. He never made an effort to stay on the balls of his feet—he was as relaxed in the ring as if he were standing in his living room. If you don’t know, you don’t know. Relaxed muscles are more explosive on offense and more adaptable for absorbing the impact of punches and evading them on defense compared to tense contracted muscles. #boxing #footworkmatters #boxingtechnique #sweetscience #boxinglegends #balanceiskey #relaxedpower #goat #boxingcommunity #boxinghistory #ringcraft #worldclassboxinggym #tomyankellosworldclassboxinggym #boxingteacher #teacher #teachers #teaching #teach #teacherlife

Mastering the art of the southpaw vs orthodox stance is all about strategy and timing. One of the best ways to create openings is by using feints with your rear hand to set up punches with your lead hand. Whether you’re in a southpaw or orthodox position, subtle movements can trick your opponent into reacting the wrong way, leaving them exposed for a clean shot. Precision, patience, and well-placed feints can make all the difference in the ring. 🥊👊 #boxing #southpaw #orthodox #boxingstrategy #feints #leadhand #hook #boxingtraining #boxinglife #boxingtechnique #martialarts #boxingfootwork #fightsmart #boxingdrills #southpawstyle #boxingmastery #worldclassboxinggym #tomyankellosworldcyylassboxinggym #boxingteacher #teacher #teachers #teaching #teach #teachinglife

Intentionally with effort raising your heels off the ground in your boxing stance is ridiculous! It does not make you ready to defend or punch quicker. In boxing, big steps and intentionally raising your heels off the ground leave your feet off the ground too long, making you less ready to defend or react offensively. Always take short steps to stay ready to punch and defensively responsible. Keep your head over your back leg, use small shuffling steps with your feet close to the floor—this is vital.

Remember Telling Isn’t Teaching! You Must Teach! The teaching of proper body mechanics and proper footwork is what is missing most in boxing today. Very little know and those that do still can’t teach it. The attempt of perfecting proper fundamental body mechanics and fundamental footwork are vital and imperative in order to achieve your potential for ULTIMATE POWER and THE SMOOTHEST TRANSITIONS FROM OFFENSE TO DEFENSE!

Proper Repetition Is The Mother Of Skill! Right hook to the body on the inside of the opponent’s wide left hook while angling to the right, then weave to throw a left hook to the body and finish it up off the angle with a right cross and a left hook! Counter the opponent’s counter, while simultaneously crafting angles for surprise attacks they won’t see coming. It’s all about calculated moves and setting the stage for victory! #boxing #boxingteacher #teachingboxing #boxingworld #boxingislife #boxingdrills #boxingfans #worldclassboxingchannel #worldclassboxinggym #tomyankellosworldclassboxinggym #boxingcoach #boxingfundamentals #footwork #timing #boxinggym #boxingmindset #discipline #defenseisoffense #teacher #teachers #teaching #teach #teachinglife

“Boxing is unique. The fundamentals of a great offense are the same for great defense. Unlike football, where you have an offensive and defensive coach, in boxing, your coach must master both. In the ring, offense and defense work hand in hand, synchronized through the same core principles. It’s about timing, footwork, balance, and positioning. The best boxers know how to attack while staying ready to defend, and a great coach makes sure those skills are developed together. 🥊👊 #boxing #boxingtraining #offenseanddefense #boxingcoach #boxingfundamentals #footwork #balance #timing #boxinglife #fightnight #coach #discipline #ringcraft #defenseisoffense #boxingskills #boxingmastery #worldclassboxinggym #tomyankellosworldclassboxinggym #boxingteacher #teacher #teachers #teaching #teachersofinstagram #teach #teachinglife #instagram #instagood #instalike #instadaily #insta

Mastering defense! I believe every boxer should learn multiple arts of defense. The real challenge is knowing the details of the defense and when to implement each tool.

“Master breaking a clinch by learning how to use your head strategically! Placing it in the right position against your opponent’s head while underhooking, combined with a strong hip turn, can create the perfect opening for a solid uppercut.

“Mastering the art of the jab and push hook with rhythm changes and footwork is key to unlocking powerful combinations.

The back leg is your foundation in boxing. It’s all about pivoting smoothly left or right for maximum efficiency. You can’t do this nearly as smooth and efficiently if your weight and head are centered or on your front leg. When your weight is on your back foot, do not lift your heel off the ground. Keeping your entire back foot down doesn’t slow you down; it’s about positioning, not speed. Angles help you gain or cut distance. #boxing #backleg #balance #footwork #angles #positioning #boxingtechnique #boxingtraining #boxinglife #boxingfundamentals #movement #trainlikeapro #boxingwisdom #defense #boxingstrategy #fightstrategy #worldclassboxinggym #tomyankellosworldclassboxinggym #boxinglife #mastery #skilloverstrength #teacher #teaching #boxingteacher #teach #teachers
