I'm a black belt kickboxer n my coach is Terry Mcelhinney ex British middle weight champion and he always sends us to your site for online tips, he thinks very highly of you. You may know him we're only down the road in Huyton. With him it's footwork footwork footwork and apart from minor variations cos we kick too it could be you coaching us.

@@uriel528 Some schools give them, it's kinda up to the school. If the ex middleweight champion awards them it may be just another way to keep students motivated, keep them on their toes, and inspire younger fighters to improve. Belts mean a lot when you're a child, you feel a sense of achievement when you get them.

professorbuglefarts1 yes it’s more like house rules type ranking rather then actually rankings in k1 it would still be quite an achievement I would think

Pure British aba gold knowledge. The people who disliked this video clearly didn't maintain stance and lost a few brain cells in the process. Kudos to all the lads at Sefton.

"Stumbling across the ring like the village idiot" 😂 Brilliant Fran!

This is the first boxing video I've watched that addressed the difference in difficulties between right , and left lateral movement. Well done, and thank you.

You are welcome, thank you very much.

Honest and humble, totally straight through. This is the way good coaches and masters pass on their knowledge. Much respect given. As you said,”If you make a mistake in boxing you can get hurt”. And trust me, I do have been hurt a lot. Thank you ever so much for sharing your knowledge. I only wish I lived on Liverpool to be coached by you. I would finally find someone that would teach me how to box.

The side step comment "what is that?" LOOOOOOL!

Wow. This man only has 54k subscribers. It's always the good things in life that get taken for granted. This man's channel is PURE GOLD.

“Maintain the Stance.” Every beginnings video should start with this, but this is the first video I’ve seen, and the most crucial information I was looking for. Thank you sir!

Just started at an amateur boxing club in London. I need a lot of improvement on my footwork and you are by far the best online coach to help me when practicing at home. Great channel

Excellent video.... i'm just setting out and you make it so easy to understand Fran

Best advice I've seen on youtube regarding footwork. I see it too often especially in amateurs where footwork isn't prioritised or taught in its basic form.

The best video on the matter ANYWHERE,on the internet.Thank you for sharing.

One of the most well spoken and understanding instructors out, informative and well detailed. Excellent 👍

You’re the first KZread coach I’ve been in total agreement with. When I was coaching, I spent at least half my time teaching kids to maintain their stance. You focused on the defensive aspect, but there’s also an offensive advantage to maintaining the stance. When you narrow the stance or cross your legs, you can’t throw a punch! If you maintain the stance, you can punch going forward, backward, or sideways. All it takes is timing the punch to land while the back foot is down. Range, footwork, and balance were my top priorities. Aside from punching techniques, that is. Watch a basketball coach running footwork drills sometime. They use almost identical techniques.

this channel should have more views and subs than it does now

Dear Mr. Sands, Thank you very much for this and other videos. Believe it or not, you are helping me a lot not only with my boxing but in my work as an opera singer! I'll be writing an article about for my blog in the coming weeks. Thanks so much! The basic skills and considerations I've been learning apply to much more than my time at the gym. Really a wonderful sport and art. I would be much worse off without you, because my Czech is not good enough to understand any explanations here. I get a bit, but mostly I just imitate the movements, and I know choice phrases about my repeated failures to move in more than one direction or look at what I'm doing instead of the floor.

I was fortunate enough to attend a great boxing gym in the Los Angeles area when I was younger and what you explained matches exactly what I was taught. I've been helping my son with teaching him what I know about boxing and other forms of self-defense/fighting. I feel great knowing that what I've been teaching my son is consistent with what the best trainers are doing out there in their respective gyms. Thank you for making this video and helping people make better decisions about what they watch and what to look for when training, if they are looking to join a gym.

The entire online content based businesses, entrepreneurs, influencers industry are getting a pure demonstration of one of their greatest principles. ALWAYS create content of "high value." Well, due to the sheer nature or topic of Fran's content, he's already picked a subject (defense, avoiding danger, health) that inherently caries unprecedented value. ON TOP OF THAT, (as pretty much every comment mentions) Fran is the "Creme de la Creme" Cream of the Crop, Best of the Best, how ever you say it. That's all I have to add. Thanks Fran... I just discovered 7 YEARS LATER. I don't Box, but when I do I will again thank you, and I just turned 42.

I absolutely loved this video , excellent advice . I'm just glad I've been doing things correctly. I have been working hard on fine tuning my boxing skills and have seen some of the tutorials you spoke of . When I point out that something "might" not be safe or effective they go on the defensive ( not a boxing defensive lol) . I boxed for 5 years as a teen and had a good coach/trainer like yourself so I just went with what I was taught years ago because it simply makes sense and it works . Now that I'm older I just train to stay in shape but I still like to have proper form and technique . There's a right and wrong way to do everything so why half ass it right ? I'm glad I watched your video because I can see you clearly have a passion for the sport and I loved the way you presented it ! Subbed 😁
