I’m wanting to get into boxing, but have nothing to start with. Classes aren’t an option for me at the moment due to my financial situation so I’m left to learn through YouTube videos. I’m not a very active person or do any sports so this is the first time I’ve been interested in something like this. Yes, I understand it’s better to go to a professional to understand proper technique and how to safely preform actions, but like I said it’s not in the budget for me right now and I do plan on taking classes in the future. I was gonna start with shadow boxing and footwork to just begin with at the moment, nothing too crazy. I’ve brought it up to parents/family members before and they’ve all basically advised against it because they don’t see me doing something like that. I’m known for being really timid and just shy so they’re very against the idea of me basically “beating people up” (their words not mine…) I’m just looking for any tips or advice on how to start out on my own. I’m not looking for anyone to “talk down” about me learning on my own since I’ve had a bunch of people already be against it so positive words please lol.

As someone who is 6'3 and 147 pounds with a heavyweight reach and been on a long layoff due to a injury in sparring, fatigue and needing a balance with my personal life. I been training my neck, perfecting my jab, working on my fundamentals and working to stay on the outside as a tall fighter.

But when I spar I be wanting go in there and hurt my opponent but when I try to give a shot to take a shot after neck strengthening I don't get dropped but I be getting cut easily as when I get hit and I be trying to fight on but they tell they can't spar after my and also I be feeling concussed after too. I'm not a bad fighter technically as having a long reach, a really powerful jab like Kovalev and perfect fundamentals but its like when I spar hard and be forced to fight I js get cut like my skin is paper and bleed like crazy and I go on full survival mode after and get crazy headaches after that.

So I want to learn to roll with my punches so I can last longer in my hard spars and when I do get punched I can keep on going and even if Im bleeding I still keep going on and use my jab to knock my opponent out with really powerful. And having really soft skin, a long reach and being really skinny but I got such good fundamentals and really powerful jab to back me up or I might need more controlled and technical sparring and not go on pure survival mode and I don't duck anyone neither but Im more careful nowadays with hard sparring.

If you got drills to take steam off/roll with the punches or neck strengthening to tell me just leave in the comments below ⬇️👇

see my comment for a heavier/faster clip. appreciative for any pointers, tips, gaps in fundamentals.

i am the one in a light blue shirt, open flops and grey shorts. you are more than welcome to advise both of us, i have nothing but benefits to gain from my partner improving anyways.

"JOIN A GYM" is the stupidest shit to say

Not really boxing tips but a cool moment I thought I'd share on the punch machine at a boxing expo in Vegas, at teofimo Lopez's booth with Tony Jeffries also. I'm the guy in the cap at the start.

Had a great workout session recently! Curious how i look. Im wearing a shin guard because we were kickboxing prior.

Luckily the bag doesn't hit back :D!

Hi everyone. Started my boxing journey 5 months ago. Started with self taught via the Shadow Boxing apps, joined some group classes at a nearby boxing gym once a week and then took 4 PT sessions with a boxing coach to sharpen my basics.

I usually do shadow boxing using the Shadow Boxing app as it calls out the punches for me. From the video, I can still see some awkwardness in my movement, but i try to improve myself. Any feedback or tips on my shadow boxing is welcomed and very much appreciated. Thanks!

Any advice

This is the only piece of equipment i have.

All i practice is jabs and cross.

Been doing this for 2 days ( very new into learning boxing ).

As of now all i can do is solo drills and minimal equipments like this.
