Great Performance from the Norwegian that Russian can really fight! Anything in particular you had him working on beforehand? Southpaw and Anti-Southpaw Tactics interest me To my pretty Inexperienced eyes looks like keeping the lead foot outside or slipping all the way outside the left Elbow...

Also @Sinister watching some of the Videos in this thread i have to say a lot of your guys seem to have excellent foot position in their actual stance as it were i don't necessarily mean footwork but the actual stance itself looks like the Textbook version

Having gone away and learned a few things about Boxing from some really experienced Amateur coaches including one who started Boxing in the 50s ive almost completely changed my opinion, i still think for Muay Thai Padwork with a good catcher is compulsory but when it comes to Boxing for actual...

While I've already said in the thread that i don't believe you have to have competitive experience to be a great coach i think some people in this thread are being rather dismissive of what it actually takes to fight. Saying the pressure to complete in combat sports is just like the pressure in...

How would a beginner be able to spot signs they're with a good coach or a bad Coach? How can trainers negotiate with gyms in terms of getting space for privates, creating a programme etc. Best ways to network as a coach with other trainers other gyms, referees, judges etc. Any mental...

This is exactly the type of person who should NOT be coaching im surprised he hasn't been boycotted completely, complete disregard for his fighters health.

Purely for discussions sake not trying to argue with you, I can completley see this point especially when it comes to the actual struggle and graft of Fighting i think a fighter 40 minutes before a fight wracked with nerves is much more likely to trust someone who has been in that situation and...

Depends on the individual. Being a great fighter does not mean you're even a decent coach as part of being a great fighter is athletic talent so they just 'get it' and maybe aren't able to explain it to others (obviously with exceptions). Being a coach is much more about being able to explain...

So one of my guys has decided to see if maybe Southpaw might be a better fit for him so the purpose of this thread is to keep a log of his progress to share my own experience potentially as a resource or a source of discussion if other coaches want to answer or ask questions or give their own...

I invested in Some Rival air mitts at tge start of the year and my elbows and shoulders have thanked me ever since my only gripe with them is the finger hood issue you mentioned as if someone catches them slightly off centre it jams your fingers instantly. Reassuring to hear that it's worth...

Question to the more Experienced/ Full time coaches. do you take any specific precautions when doing Mittwork? for example i know Dave Coldwell will always tape his wrists up or wear compression sleeves on his elbows, anything like this or specific wrist, hand, shoulder or elbow exercises to try...

i actually think that mitts are more beneficial for beginners and still think they can be useful for fighters i just don't think they are 100% necesarry. im a big fan of using the body shield in combination with wearing gloves so that the fighters get a sort of meet in the middle between drills...

little throw back to the point on mittwork i know Sinister has made this point several times but i find that a lot of fighters feel like without Mittwork they aren't preparing for a fight properly or the coaches aren't giving them the proper time which for Muay Thai and kickboxing i can see the...

Lots of really good stuff in this thread. Only coach a few hours a week but i want to be the best i can be.

Got back into watching some Kickboxing again recently and looking for some fun fights whether they be great technical performances or all out wars. Watched Mohammed Jaraya, Tayfun Ozcan and Nieky Holzken a lot recently so preferably not a fight involving those three or the Zambidis Vs Chahid...

i Have the Twins full Thai pads and im fairly certain they are the same ones you will see used by Liam Harrison Andy Howson and Jon Haggerty in their Instagram training videos

Youre absolutley right about there not really being a set system so to speak but GB win Olympic medals in Boxing fairly regulary in the 21st Century beating out the Cubans and Eastern Europeans (obviously not as successful as the Ex Soviet bloc and Cubans) which simply would not happen if all...

This thread is fantastic and I've thoroughly enjoyed it but i do think you're being a bit overly harsh on the UK school of Boxing especially in the amateurs. Young Peter mcgrail, Galal Yafai The Mcormack Twins (to a lesser extent) and even Aidan Walsh and Kurt Walker out of NI are really...

This is obviously all my opinion dressed up so it sounds fancy if you can't be bothered to read it just go watch him in some fun British Title level fights. Lewis Ritson: Rise Of The Sandman “Lewis Ritson can FIGHT mate” the words of promoter Eddie Hearn sum up the latest (and quickest to...

not sure how he'll cope at world level but British lightweight champion Lewis Ritson has been in some fun fights his last few
