I spend a lot of time watching instructional videos, and always come back to these. concise, easy to understand etc etc. Something as simple as showing the punch from different angles..... awesome

Thank you very much indeed. This is the way actual coaches present stuff, others often are quite vague...simple works best.

@TheTony22019 I read your other comment as well. That's one hell of a roll of honour. Winning an AAU title with just 35 bouts under your belt is a major achievement. And then getting ranked back when there was just WBA and WBC is even more impressive. Losing your mum and sis must have had a devastating effect. It speaks of your character that you have subsequently contributed so much to the sport. I'm truly honoured that you have taken some time to watch my vids. Thanks so much

I am from Turkey and we train with your Videos Fran. You do a great Job

Thank you very much, that is very kind and I am glad that my videos help

Good thing about these vids - they're timeless!!!

Definitely the most underrated boxing coach on youtube. If people watched more Fran Sands instead of Tony Jeffries we would have a lot less terrible youtube boxers.

I tend to watch your videos about a dozen times in a row, practicing things in between them trying to match what I see and your advice. I don't have money for boxing instruction, so I really like this videos. One of the toughest things for me with the jab was wanting to lean forward, and learning to push off with the front leg. I am glad you took the time to emphasize these details.

I was taught for about 6 months by a coach called terry mccloughlin, a scouse chap himself, mirrored alot of the things you say in this video here, always good to watch as a refresher to stop bad habits creeping in...great video thanks.

Mr. Sands, your classes are gold. Thank you very much.

I box myself and came across this guys videos a week or two ago. There are thousands of boxing videos on youtube but i have to say this man is probably the best person i have seen on youtube. His technical knowledge is fantastic and the videos are very well shot and very simple to watch and improve my own technique on. I have subscribed, love the videos, great job, please keep them coming.

Thanks coach, I will train harder to be precise and accurate....this is so far the best explanation I found on KZread. I needed to learn defend myself in streets so I chosed boxing but was not really sure what to start with. Your playlist for beginners show the order in which one should start, thanks a lot for that sir. I didn't find such stuff anywhere else in youtube. Gratitude from bottom of my heart sir. Keep going and uploading tutorials.

Just passed my england boxing level 1 coaching course, these vids helped massively. Thanks

Brilliant video as always - look forward to the rest of the series

man you are such a great teacher!! you focus a lot on using the full body to generate power..and from your videos really comes out that a boxer is not just a person with big arms!!

Great video! Clear and precise breakdown. It's hard to believe you don't have more views.

Well I certainly know where im going from now on. Thank you so much for ALL these videos. Just starting to learn this incredible sport and my headaches are now gone from trying to find the right video, or the right book since im so broke and cant afford a coach/trainer. A true Master! And the playlist has started! Thank you sir.

This video helps so much, one of the best boxing channels I've seen

best boxing coach on yt. You make a lot of learning possible for me, thank you!

Just found your channel. Been boxing training for about 2 months now. Quality vids mate very helpful...cheers for the uploads.

Love your calmness and way to explain things. Thanks alot.

Excellent stuff. Coaching and fighting are very different. Certainly the latter can support the former, but taking that step into coaching from fighting is always something that takes a little time. Really glad that fellow coaches are happy to use this resource, makes me realize what I have produced is in some way worthy. Thanks.

Thanks for the instruction!

Am in love with ur book!!!

Superb. Well done for trying new things. Keep on pushing the boundaries.

Loving your neww HD versions.Thanks for posting vedios it has helped us a lot. Plz keep it up.

Great tips.. I already have a coach but I always try to gather as much advise as I can to polish every technique I learn so thanks for sharing mister.

Wicked tutorial. Clear, precise and on point, like my jab after watching this video several times.

Thank you sir! I actually implemented this a bit more retrain in sparring this week. I worked off of my jab and came in. But as you said, its all about timing and be able to sucesfully feint. I'm now realizing I can use being shorter as an advantage for me, make them work to punch down.

Cheers Vick. I like to keep an eye on your expert videos too, very nice.

Thank you so much for your amazing work🙌 I’ve never had someone explaining these simple punches like this to me 🙏🏻

Cheers pal, really great comment. I know the level of responsibility that we feel as coaches making sure that our boxers have the 'right learning'. Crap advice in our game gets kids hurt. So, the fact that you feel comfortable recommending this stuff to your boxers is a great honour for me. I really appreciate it. If any of the kids have any questions tell them to post a comment on the site with a reference to 'IdleSurfer' and I'll get right back to them.

awsome explaination just what ive been looking for, thankyou!

Excellent video. A big thumbs up

Great stuff! Proper, meaningful explanation. I will definitely use this in my class. Thank you sir🙏

Glad you like the Simon. Long may it continue.

Very good concise instruction. Thanks & great video!

@bigsolo1 Thanks, and welcome back to the sport!

Wow! Thanks, mate!! You're a really good tutor! A boxing beginner from Hong Kong.

Wow, i feel like i just unlocked a lot of speed and power in my jab from just now practicing your instruction. Incredible! Glad I came across your channel, I like how you teach

Loved your greeat instructions on the jab. Don't give a tel, stay centered, return the jab the same way it went out. Very good advice and yet look how many people, including the pros who don't follow it. Again, thanks.

Thanks for the lesson coach !

Still love watching this

Good instruction coach!

This You Tube Video is the most consistent with my own coach's instructions that I have seen so far. Very well done indeed!

@sgt7 You're taking the right approach, sounds good to me.

@ShuyuKoukin I understand and agree. In an ideal world we would always go forward with a jab so that we can 'assert' ourselves on the fight. But jabbing and moving together are 2 skills, not one. As a coach I am isolating the jab for the purposes of demonstration. In my Boxing Training Foundation available on the site I describe how to combine the jab with foot movement. Thanks

Thank you so much for the exact explanation, really appreciate it.

I'm not physically able for hard training anymore. However, skill is something I can always work on. I find working on more dynamic footwork/head/combination drills, refining the basics etc to be quite rewarding.. although id still love to be able for the ring!

That's a really nice comment. Thank you very much.

@aky19832001 Hey aky, thanks for taking the time to comment. Whilst you are slightly shorter than the average heavyweight, there's no reason why you can't out jab the taller guys. The key I suppose is to lean towards the counterpunching option. Show a feint, use a block or parry then strike with your own jab. If you can draw the lead of a taller guy, then their reach advantage is pretty much removed. There are articles on the MyBoxingCoach site that cover these skills. Hope this helps ;-)

Obrigado pelas aulas

@myboxingcoach It does. I just don't fully understand the physics, but I do understand the general rule. I wouldn't want to help the opponent any...Thank you.

You're welcome and thank you for leaving a comment.

When I was younger I was taught to step into my jabs. Not just shifting my weight forward as you demonstrated, but actually stepping in with my lead leg, whilst keeping my rear leg planted. Might I ask, is this also wrong in your opinion?

Your explanations are simply perfect. Greetings from a Brazil's boxe beginner.

Hi, Eubank used to jump in with his jab but someone said he had a better jab than Roy Jones. I saw a quick study on how Jones used his jab to control the much smaller Pazienza in the 90`s, to me Jones was clearly better trained on the jab than Eubank have you seen these fighters and what do you think? Thanks.

Thank you and you're welcome

@TheTony22019 Hey Tony. I got taken to the gym at the age of 6. First fight at 11 then boxed on to the age of 21. Did OK, got to represent England at under-19 level, had around 60 bouts. Started coaching at about 25, and been enjoying that ever since. From what I've noted in your comments, you've obviously got a strong boxing background yourself. what's your story?

Just stumbled on your videos and this is the 3rd I'm watching. Love it. I'm getting on a bit now lol, well 42, still pretty fit and in good shape. I'm starting Muay Thai and Brazilian Ju Jitsu (there is no Boxing where I live) and wondered if there is any difference between the punching techniques in boxing and muay Thai? Any information is appreciated.

You're welcome and thanks for the comment.

I can’t believe I just got this for free. Keep up the videos, Coach.

I been boxing for about almost 2 years and the only jab I use is the flicker jab and it works for me best to set up my right

@abacgnu1 Thank you, very kind. Good skills will always win out over strength. Thanks again

@DoAction That is not wrong. There are many different types of jabs. This is a basic jab. Power jabs or stiff jabs usually are stepped in to, and they are used to stun your opponent or open him up or even just to close distance or cause damage from a long range.

I boxed as a kid and trained with some pretty good guys/boxers. Well to make a long story short I got out of it after some years and I’m a bit older now but I am getting back into proper technique and it’s all the little things you forget and why. For the most part I am pretty sound with the basics BUT I love your videos to sharpen up and maybe fix that little thing I’m doing wrong. I’m not getting in the ring anymore I’m just doing it for the fitness and love of the ART!! Some of the best videos on KZread about Boxing proper boxing.

Fran Sands I have pretty good fundamentals but I am a bit out of boxing shape. I see some of these guys that are so called teachers and some of the stuff they teach is plain scary! It seems everyone wants to look and be flashy these days and they don’t learn the root of boxing all the little things. Them little things are very important to learn and I’d rather be fundamentally sound in basics then flashy any day lol.

There's speaks the voice of experience. The basics done well don't let people down. KZread can't convey the 1000's of hours that a young Mayweather, Leonard, Ali and anyone else we care to mention put in to enable them to get that good. My primary responsibility as a boxing coach is to look after the well being of the boxer, that involves drilling the basics of defence and offense so that they are safe to 'learn by doing' - there really is no substitute. Thanks again John, nice to have you watch my stuff mate.

Thank you.

Yes, 'MyBoxingCoach'

There are indeed. 6 separate videos, one for each uppercut at short, mid and long range.

You're welcome and thanks!

for once more thanks a lot !!!!

Thank you

this video shows how to show a single jab without moving, slipping, etc. those are separate skills - all punches *end* with arm, never *start* with arm - accelerate like whip by turning lead leg inward - turn palm down at ~70% extension - never lean forward. If needed just *move* forwad - hand must come right back to guard

@3876samf Good question. There are a couple of right-handers who've become top southpaws (Hagler and Pac famously). However, my view is that the power hand should be held at the rear as this allows greater rotation and therefore more power. This said, If I have a boxer who likes to switch, and as long as the boxer does it well and at the right time, then no problem at all.

Very interesting I always wondered if you were supposed to slightly rotate your lead foot when throwing the jab.

Superb.

@ILykToDoDuhDrifting We can always get countered, The risk is more around adding your body weight (by the forward momentum) to the incoming shot. You add power to the punch coming at you, never a good thing. Thanks for the question.

Funny, that word you used ending in 'er' was the one I had in mind for the original comment. Cheers mate, sometimes you need someone to point out the obvious way to deal with such things ;-)

Buenos videos excelente.. Me gustaría que pongas subtitulos en español saludos de Argentina

Thaks for your video, this help me, i am training my jab a lot:) am to slow for my weight :(greetings from Argentina

@Groesch7777 Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, hope your learning goes well!

@Fran Sands One notice as a viewer.I suggest that you slow down the whole motion an and then show it on normal speed.And two questions Coach Fran. If you don't move the outer leg inside at the start of your movement and you pivot-rotate your hips only the movement is wrong and deliver half the punching force ? And i hear that the fists(fingers) should't be parallel to the ground cuz they may brake so one must supposedly rotate his whole fist to a point that his index finger is vertical as possible be to the ground so to avoid the breakage of his fist.Ty vm excellent video. I subbed also.

@TheTony22019 Not a problem, apology accepted, no hard feelings. One of those things but thanks for clearing it up.

I was taught to quick step forward with the jab. My trainer told I could close the distance stepping in with the jab.

I've been looking for your channel for a while and I just found your channel, is there a way I can communicate with your sir I'm a Coach from Texas?

@TheTony22019 Agreed. Some of the advice on KZread is worse than useless, it's reckless. Some of them may have had a few spars, or even one or two fights. But doing and coaching are two different things. Took me a year or two just to realize I wasn't the boxer anymore and to begin the process of learning to be a coach. Still learning years later and will likely never stop learning! Favorite fighter? Always a tough call between Duran and Hagler; two greats for different reasons. Yours?

i love your videos mate. I tried the jab for a few weeks at the gym now, but I can't seem to generate any significant power in my jabs. In fact, I ended up buckling/twisting my fists quite often, if you knnow what I mean. Its not painful but I think something is very wrong with my technique. Please could you offer any advice? Thanks.

@alekoskipou There are a number of ways to throw a jab. The main rule is that you don't throw your weight behind it, you rotate the body and make sure the shot is controlled

Hey I think your videos are very helpful. I've been boxing for one week now everyday but I don't see myself losing any weight I would like to lose 30-40 pounds, any tips?
