You can punch without telegraphing
Disadvantage:
Consumes a lot of energy
Hard to learn
Progressions in fighting stance (we don`t practice it in the frontal stance):
Progressions in fighting stance:
moving at one spot
moving in all directions
moving forward and to the side and moving backward and to the side
pivot backward
pivot forward
weight shifts (rarely used with this type of movement)
side steps

what an amazing breakdown. After Alexei Forolov Lovivich's videos, this might be the best pendulum lesson on KZhead at the time.
That’s so great to hear when I am compared with so high level coaches
Fr, Forolov got me obsessed with pendulum boxing. So effective, natural yet looks so elegant and fluid
I'm grateful that my boxing instructor, from Russia, teaches me this style here in Germany🙏 I'm almost 40 but I've been boxing with my trainer for 5 years, starting at 106. It was hell, especially the constant jumping, but now it's going great and itself With a weight of 90 kg, the style is great to use, for me the Soviet style is the most beautiful in boxing 🙏
Good stuff! Keep up the grind 💪
I am qualified England Boxing Coach here in the UK and I love your videos. Please keep up the great work 🥊
Thanks! Will do 🤝
I’ll die one this hill and say this from the bottom of my heart! The Soviet pendulum style of boxing is the most top tier style of boxing
This is also great for MMA, since the MMA cage is much wider than the boxing ring and staying inpocket leads to danger of grappling.
Hmm, I have never thought of that :)
very helpful 🙏🏻 keep making this type of content 🔥🔥
Thank you! Will do!
One of the nicest ways this have been explained. Thanks
Glad you think so!
This demonstration is absolute perfect mate, well done! I’ve wanted to try to do the pendulum step for a while but never found a video that easily explains each step of the process, and also how to move and attack.
Ohh, thank you for the feedback 💪
This is awesome, I'll definitely incorporate the pendulum step into my training. I really like how you break the movement down into several progressions to make it easier to understand. Thank you for the video, I'm excited to watch more of your content!
I’m glad it was helpful and thanks for the feedback!
I love this video. Very insightful and easy to follow. Thank you
Glad it was helpful man 🤝
Didn’t think there would be such a perfect KZhead channel for my idealised style of boxing - Keep up with the phenomenal work!
Much appreciated 👊
Wow brother thank you for this tutorial you explain really well not just how to do it but why and that makes a huge difference
Yeah, I put a lot of time in planning and breaking everything down! Appreciate the feedback 🤝
You've helped me alot with boxing, thanks bro
Glad to hear it
Amazing video!
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much! I've been working on the pendulum but it always felt awkward to throw the cross and a little bit stiff overall. Right away, I'm noticing a natural fluidity and relaxation. This is the best teaching out there.
Glad it was helpful! And thx for the feedback
Amazing video ❤
Thank you!!
Honestly the best explanation I’ve seen and the footwork is perfect throwing all the punches
Thank you, means a lot to me !
No fancy edits but true gem indeed! Finally I can beat up my opponent like Bivol! 😂
great instruction. thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video to thank you🎉
Glad you enjoyed it
Дякую за відео! Дуже допомогло)
Супер, радий чути 👊
Pendulum can work great for short people too look at Bivol vs zurdo, zurdo was like 3 inches taller and had reach on him and Bivol defo fought taller guys in the amateurs
He also fought Salamov, which is way taller than him
I would actually say that Lomachenko and Porter are better candidates for the pendulum step working for shorter people ( I know Porter did'nt always use it, but he was almost always outsized and he used It effectively to get inside from Time to Time)
Thank you bro❤❤❤
Any time
Thank you 🙏
Welcome!
Thanks bro 😎❤️
No problem 😉
Thank you coach.. ❤ from malaysia
You’re welcome 👊

Brilliant tutorial mate! I’m from the UK but I love the soviet style, you explained it perfectly and showed all the progressions.
Awesome, thank you for sharing your thoughts 🤝
that good brother,keep it🏆
Thx, will do 🫡
Awesome breakdown, can you make a pendulum step+combo video next😊
Noted!
I wish there were actual boxing gyms in my area cause this is the type of thing can’t pick up on, on my own.
Great Video. Im a taller heavier guy and I've always struggled with the pendulum step but recently ive been able to maintain the bounce during sparring for 6 (3 min rounds). Now it's time to refine it and move correctly.
Keep up the good work 💪
@@akhotinbxng Can you do a video on how to throw combinations during the pendulum step from an eastern block mindset. Do you plant your feet when throwing combos or stay on your toes ready to exit? It's hard to get a good breakdown of the style in English.
Brilliant video. I have been looking for a complete breakdown of the pendulum step for ages. I’ve been working on just staying on my toes for as long as possible to strengthen my calves. I did a full 10 minute round of skipping the other day without stopping (apart from a couple of times where I missed the rhythm) I could have probably done another 2 minutes but my hands started to cramp up (I’m 40 years old) I’ll give these steps a go. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the feedback! And you got this champ 💪
@@akhotinbxng i think I’ve got the basic bounce down. I tried it out in sparring today, it worked really well. I just need to do the next step. You weren’t lying when you said it takes a lot of energy, my calves are on fire after a couple of minutes
am from india after 6 months of coaching i did not understand but i gone through your tutorial ,,,,what a simple break down step by step coaching great salute to you plz keep going me and my friends will fallow plz teach job cross and body mechanics break down etc thanks a ton GURU
Will do! You can find a video about the jab, cross and other punches on my channel
@@akhotinbxng sure thx a lot
🔥🔥🔥
Amazing video brother make more videos luv frm india
Thank you, I will
Very good and clear breakdown. Good tempo in the video. Thank you for the upload. New subscriber! Question: when you go running do land on the ball of your foot to condition your calves instead of your heels?
Thanks for the sub! I land on the balls of my feet. It strengthens my calves and reduces load on my joints
U r really amazing
Thank you so much 😄
Awesome i wished i used this when i was younger i was too flat footed
I'm built for this style, 6'3 193cm long arms and calfs with a lot of endurance, Thanks for the breakdown I'll keep training like this
You’ll do really well with it 💪
Thank you so much for this, i love how you break down everything. Is there a channel where you speak russian or videos?
Thx! No, I have only this channel
Andrii, good English! Great boxing drills but lets not overlook how good your speaking skills are, in a foreign language! well done!
Thank you! Took me a few years of self teaching to get to this point
My main style of movement, except I stay on the balls of my feet, you can train that, btw. Lots of deep squats to hold your entire body weight and doing the Ali Shuffle on the balls of your feet for conditioning, I also alternate legs by putting them forward so it's more difficult to tell when I'm going to strike, combine that with the spring like shift and you can summon your weight into your punches, too.
I also don't like coiling as it makes too much known, if you learn how to rotate on the balls of your feet, you can decrease the lag of movement from the spring and just rotate. That takes good bodily balance, so I get if it's tough. But a good fighter understands that attacks start from the lower body and trunk in most fighting, so learning to cut lag in between moves like coiling, is a good idea.
That’s a difficult but great type of movement 🔥
Great tutorial, i got the technique but now i need more endurance/stamina😅
You’ll get that
Can you do a footwork video that are beneficial for short heavier guys?
Yeah, I already did a video about regular footwork techniques. That will be good for everyone
Great tutorial! How long does it take to get good at pendulum step and be able to really use it in a fight¿
Thx! That’s depends on your current skill level and physical condition. So it may take from a couple of months to years
bro do you train yourself ? love from Kazakhstan
Yes, I train in a local gym with my coach/friend
My coach makes my whole class do the pendulum step which he says In Spanish as “pendulo” So I just do it whenever I’m in my stance
Wow, you gotta be proficient with that
What style is taught in Russia if you are on the shorter? Since this is mainly for taller fighters
I don’t know anything about russia
i'm 5'10 weighing 70 kilos. do you think i can work on it? i keep hearing that the Soviet style is better for tall fighters so i'm very confused whether to learn this or try a different style
I’m the same height and weight and use it a lot. I also mix it with regular steps so I have different ways to move and approach to my opponent
how would a shorter boxer use the pendulum step?
They would go in&out and to the sides so the head doesn’t move in a straight line. And also they would transition from pendulum step to regular step to play with the rhythm and pace
What’s the name of your boxing shoes?
Adidas box hog 3
Iam 5'9 but built like in between lomachenko and canelo which foot work should i choose, 😂i have been studying from Coch Alexie's videos.
I can combine their styles
@@akhotinbxng no I was saying I am built like them and after Bivol won against canelo i started learning Pendulum from Coach Frolov's videos. But as u said it is good for tall boxers and I am not that tall so I asked for your suggestion to change my style. I mostly practised canelo's style but it is a very dangerous one if u can't pull his head movement. I definitely am not pulling that stuff without getting hurt so any suggestions Bhrath
Can i ask?how to be a pro?
1. Start with amateur boxing. 2. Get fighting experience 3. Build up your name 4. Get a professional boxing license. 5. Find a manager/promoter. 6. Build your record through fights. 7. Climb the ranks and pursue championships.
How to punch while pendulum ??
Well if you do the pendulum step coriander you don’t keep your shoulders tight your punches will “ask you” to throw them Also I have a video where I explain basic punches so you can see how I do it there
I am 172 and i will fight in 67kg weightclass or maybe 63,5kg. Am I too short to make good use of the pendulum?
No you’re not too short. It will work against guys that are not much taller than you
@@akhotinbxng Thank you :)
I love the Soviet style, but my body type does not work well for it at the moment
:(
Thank you my online coach, btw iam from Indonesia respect 🙏♥️
Welcome!
*Haha the PIVOT*
;)
I have question, how tall u mean, when u say taller guys can use pendulum
I mean that you’re taller than average or average in your weight class. But you can also use it if you’re short but fast. So it’s all situational, but usually taller guys move this way
@@akhotinbxng im 5'10 and skinny maybe 50kg, idk if it's okay for me to use it, i am fast ig
Was this discover in Russia?
In soviet union
I don't like this. You should move only during attacking and defending. This is unnecessary expenditure of energy not scientific boxing
Well, I don’t agree with you at all here
Ma-H-Alo 🫵😊
