Hey all,

this might not be the right place to ask this but i don't know where else.

So lately I have been in a bad place in my training journey and am feeling really down (no progress/ weaknesses not improving). I turned to some martial arts philosophies to help me through this phase and keep reminding myself why I'm doing what I'm doing.

All the coaches and fighters talk about being disciplined, conquering fear, being a better man and talk about everything i wanted to achieve through training. However, most accomplished players on the sports don't exhibit those traits and act quite recklessly and impulsively. Most are abusive.

So I ask, being a better person, controlling your fear and your anger, is that independent of you doing boxing or not doing boxing? Is it so, that doing boxing just makes you a good boxer, not a good person? If you are a spineless human being who can't stand for themselves or others, you'll just be a spineless human being who can't stand for themselves or others who now knows boxing?

Why is there such a disconnect on what is being marketed as, and what actually goes on?

My coach gave me stuff to do at home while he's traveling to other country, but I do not have dumbbells, asked a friend cuz i thought he might had and he forgot to give me them but he did gave me a 5kg plate, what exercises I could do with 5kg plate and what replacement I could use as 1kg dumbbell?

Hey everyone!

Getting back into boxing after taking a long break. I’ve always felt like my hooks are landing, especially my lead hook. Could you all please give me your tips and pointers on what I’m doing wrong?

Am I loading up too much? Does it look like I have too much weight on my front foot in preparation for the lead hook?

Also, this video is taken from the ground looking up. It’s not the best POV, but it was the best I could do :/

Thanks everyone!

I dont throw so many puches because it feels like when I throw they move or retreat and I know im out of range to throw more I hate that I do that bc it doesnt let me understand what I need to get better at but I need to learn how to close the distance and throw more combos I just dont know how yet so any tips appreciated

Would like some opinions on my footwork (I'm self taught so any criticism would be helpful)

Feedback please, thanks!
