Something i noticed when i started to focus more on the punch technique especially shoulder projecting that after a session of full power strikes my back was really sore...they don't say a good punch is one that you put your back into it for nothing.
Damn you just came like a don with your post. My lower back been hurting the last 3 days and couldn’t figure out why. Looking back I hadn’t picked up anything heavy so I was like 🤷🏻♂️. Then 🫵🏼 came in with the clutch timing. 🫵🏼 🏆👍
Same here. Shoulders never sore, always back and core.
nice to see you boxing, what you do is a real art.
Thank you bro!
Very nice, smooth techniques Grant
Nice one. Thanks Grant :)
Brilliant as always. The "shoulder throw" is exactly what my kru keeps repeating and it really changed my punching. Great vid keep going 🔥
This is way more than 3 hacks lol Goldmine of information right here! Thanks dude
🙏
useful technique and drill my friend!
Thanks. It was a great advice.
I like the way Grant explains the little details inside the details that an untrained eye simply doesn’t see.
Thanks for your advices. The one about using one arm to make second one faster/ stronger is like a magic ✨.
Awesome vid! The aggressive retraction part is so true. When you explained all the perks and tips I just had memories come flooding in, I’ve been subconsciously doing that punching mad aggressive. Aggressively engaging muscles I do that especially on the hooks and no wonder my whole lat and the upper part of my tricep and deltoids be sore! And on the bag to I’m in all in or nothing person and also impatient so I was putting all of my power into those stiff jabs and cross on the bag and because of my lack of experience and poor technique I hurt both of my wrist and it had stayed that way for a couple months but now they’re fully healed now I’ll be more careful and I tell myself "I’m not ready to go demon mode on the bag" (and there’s a good example of me doing that on one of my old instagram posts when I had the gray hoodie on)
Yeh dude it's a balance where you have to have the technique down first or like you quite rightly stated it's possible to become injured. You need the right amount of intent for your current level to stimulate growth and muscular adaptation, but not too much that it's gonna injure you. My next vid is actually all about this so look out for that next week! ✌🏼
The best video so far... i was looking for that information for months. thank you❤
Thank you I'm quite pleased with how this one came out
This was very helpful! Thanks Grant! Love the B-roll too
Thanks glad you liked it!
Great video, been training on a heavy bag once a week since a year now. In the beginning this was very hard and somewhat dangerous but now i can do it even bare handed on a heavy bag without too much damage on my hands.
These are some priceless tips man appreciate it!
Glad you found it helpful bro
Great tips.. There are so many nuisances in the sweet science and you just added a few more in my drills..
Very interesting, will try in my workout
nice good stuff pal
Great video, I learned a lot from this video. Is there a hacks at defense too? If there is,
That is the most useful advice I have ever heard on this topic.
🔥 happy to hear that!
Just saw this channel and loved how you explain. Just subscribed
Thank you Nigel! Glad you find the content valuable
Great video young sir. A lot of this stuff is old news to me, but I think it's great for people who are novice to mid range skill. You managed to hold my interest the whole video, even though I am intimately familiar with the content. So good job! If you want to learn how to really maximize your kinetic chain, then you should learn some internal martial arts. It takes a lot of time and effort, but imo it is worth it. You will develop "effortless power", it feels like you are doing nothing, but the guy on the other end feels like he got hit by a truck. But find someone who does the real deal, those teachers are few and far in between.
Dude you are a machine I expected more gimmicks but this is really good stuff well worth re watching
Haha thanks brother, no gimmicks on this channel 💯
thanks
Grant, your videos are really good for all the technical knowhow and the piece by piece of what each body part is doing in the motions for completion, I'm hoping you have a video on higher roundhouse kicks or higher Thai kicks, there's a lot of videos out there that claim stretch more etc but I think my issue is technique more than anything. If you have a video can you point me to it, if not I'd love to see that in the future. Thank again for all this stuff, your knowledge and breakdown of all the moving parts is a big light bulb moment. One thing I'd love to hear a hit more on is weight distribution when performing x and how you're feeling where centre mass goes, if there's any changes etc. Anyway just wanna say thanks again these videos are class.
Thank you bro! I have one actually, I think you'll find it beneficial! kzhead.info/sun/d5dxppWcmJuwoWg/bejne.html
@@grantstevensma thank you brother, I will check this, I appreciate!
I'm going to have to probably watch this video at least 10 times to make sure I fully soak in everything...
The most unexpectedly relatable comment I have ever seen
Tried these tips and knocked my heavy bag off its rack . Bless up
Really useful video, would you be able to create a similar one on different punch techniques such as the jab? Thanks.
Will do thanks!
Can u breakdown the boxer marvin cook specifically his short hook and his cross on his bladed stance,I am sure u have seens his vids.
I mean, it doesnt all come from the shoulder/chest/back muscles since theyre regularly not as powerful as our legs, keyword, regularly. My shoulders are as strong as a pair of decently strong legs with an ohp of 143kg, however what i do notice is that punching with my upper body rather than rotating my hips and lifting my heels is that i get tired quickly, this is because our legs lift our weight all day and theyre used to exerting that force easily, plus you do use your weight. The conclusion would be that despite my shoulders/back/chest being able to launch my fist with a decent speed resulting in a good hit, its suboptimal and technique would be better to combine with occasional technique+strength punch. I've received feedback from friends that train boxing and they have told me that my punches are indeed strong but they would be harder if i added technique which Im currently working on. Good video.
Amazing. Thank you very much. Two things I'm not clear on: 1. on the jab, do the hips rotate like on the cross? looks like they stay straight in the video (especially on the stiff jab) 2. on the arms, on full extension: does the humerus rotate out while the forearm and fist rotate in on pronation?
1. Good observations man, sometimes I will do this if the distance I need to cover in the jab is really long. Like the way Wilder does it... He leaps half way across the ring in an almost totally side on position to deliver the cross. It really depends on your initial positioning. 2. Yes this is ideally how it should happen, however during the outward rotation it shouldn't be so much that the arms deviate too widely from the body. You wanna remain tight and compact ✌🏼 Appreciate the kind words bro
Dam bro underrated as f
Thanks bro!!
Could you do a video on combinations? Cross, body hook, low kick for example. Your style is fluid but how would you incorporate combinations from traditional kickboxing or muay thai?
Trust me bro watch Gabriel varga or Jeff chan mma
Nice haircut. What salon do you go to?
7:00 I was once told that a punch is a pull not push, exactly like that
It will be so educational if you release your sparring
learning boxing because of school bullying please pray for me.
I would suggest Bulgarian hack squats, Romanian dead lifts, and the Hungarian ass press.
Devin Haney needs to watch this 😂
Oh dammm 😅
The retraction principle is huge. It’s why I believe pulling exercises are much superior to developing punching power than pushing exercises. It’s like chopping wood, you don’t push the axe into the tree, you pull it through.
Yeh man and it's one of those things that the majority of people aren't even aware of!
Very useful even for Karate.
Kooom
It’s retractive power
I soley hit the bag for exercise purposes only and to keep sane.. It relaxes me but, I have 1 problem.. I SUCK at it.. I can't seem to develop or transfer my power to my punches..
Without seeing you train the answer will be lying in your technique. Having good technique is the starting point, before you should be trying to apply any of this extra curricular power stuff. So I'd get better at that during shadowboxing, so you're learning in a base state to perfect the punch. I've got plenty of vids on the channel discussing technique so have a watch of some of those
Train legs and core they give you like 70 percent of the power
The lifting the shoulders part is kind of bugging me , probably does increase the power output before releasing the hand but haven’t really seen this tip ever before when fighters are throwing their 1-2s , couldn’t this lead to movements being telegraphed? So ur opponent knows when ur throwing that cross or jab
It's not supposed to be as exaggerated as I did in the video. I did it that way in order to show it in an isolated way for the audience to understand. Any person who has semi-decent striking will do this. Hitting more from the chest, without this is kind of like a traditional martial arts thing and isn't the best way to punch.
in every wing chun class I attended told Me to avoid weight lifting
Wing Chun is not that good as a martial art if it's not with a another martial art Wing Chun alone isn't effective at all
Which martial arts you have learned?
I have trained in a mix of different styles man, but not too much in any. You can find more details on this in the Q&A Vids I did a while back.
So i guess im already 10x
Joe rogan says you cant train to be power puncher, Some people just have it.
If that's what you wanna believe...
So why do people even bother training?
You don’t even need weights for punching power, knuckle pushups is a better substitute for weights. Resistance bands at best
Agreed, I've never lifted weights
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷 admin, can you add Turkish language translation?
I think you can do this via the captions man
This video is good 😊 but your forgot something... Weak point of the opponent... Ok next content...😊
you may know all the tricks of the trade but it still takes years to master a proper technically right executed boxing punch... no shortcuts to the pro level... and besides you can't deliver any power without a solid base... that should be trick number one... balance, footwork, stability... build the base, move the base... then you add the rest or everything you said it's worthless.
Which is what I talk about in every single video I produce
Punching power does not improve so much ... This is the sad truth 😔
Maybe power itself does not improve, but the technic does. With better technic, comes greater speed and acuracy.
@@user-cs2mh9kq3s Yes i agree a hundred percent with that, but once your technique is refined the gains on power will become very slow
@@thehitman06 I would suggest there is likely a lot more you can do with technique alone to increase this. I work with a few people in person, one of which is an incredibly skilled boxer and there were things I told him to do in our first session, that when he implemented shocked him about how much more powerful it made his techniques on the spot.
@@grantstevensmaI completely understand that sir, but what i meant is that when you reach a near perfect technique the gains obtained on punching power will become very minimal
@@thehitman06 That's true bro, but that is when you can employ other methods that directly target strength in the muscle groups, like medicine ball slams, resistance band work etc.
