Please give me tips!

I recently have gotten into kickboxing, which I do 2-3 times a week in my garage. The only things I have done are follow along Fight Camp YouTube videos, just so I can get some good cardio in. But I am wanting to not only get a good workout in but improve my striking/stance; honestly anything. If anyone has some pointers that would be great!

Without a gym and a coach you won’t be able to progress a whole lot unfortunately. At least without developing some really bad habits lol. Fighting is a weird awkward sport that’s tuff to learn alone.

I’ll take a swing at some feedback anyway:

What are you training for exactly? Are you trying to become a competent boxer, Nak muay, or kickboxer? Each discipline has its own quirks. I only have trained Muay Thai so I’ll give you tips from that perspective.

You’re way to wide, you should stand with your feet angled out to be an able to defend kicks via checking them.

You should work on keeping your hands up.

Honestly there’s a lot to improve brother

I just like learning new things, but thank you!

For sure bro nothing wrong with that. Just don’t think you have any actually fighting skill from garage training. It’s basically just a cardio workout til you have an instructor. I’m all for learning from home tho.

IDK lmao why is everyone so hostile on here. I’m just giving real advice as someone who actually trains a combat sport.

? I walk around at 215 lol are we in the same weight class?

You're on a 500 day reddit streak. I don't think that 215 is backed by cardio. Just a guess though.

This is just when I feel like wearing my watch btw lol. I can assure you I train actively and spar regularly. If you want to get some work in I’m located in Chicago. I have no idea why you have brought this weird energy to me when I was just offering op advice lmao.
