    I'm grateful that my boxing instructor, from Russia, teaches me this style here in Germany🙏 I'm almost 40 but I've been boxing with my trainer for 5 years, starting at 106. It was hell, especially the constant jumping, but now it's going great and itself With a weight of 90 kg, the style is great to use, for me the Soviet style is the most beautiful in boxing 🙏

    My main style of movement, except I stay on the balls of my feet, you can train that, btw. Lots of deep squats to hold your entire body weight and doing the Ali Shuffle on the balls of your feet for conditioning, I also alternate legs by putting them forward so it's more difficult to tell when I'm going to strike, combine that with the spring like shift and you can summon your weight into your punches, too.

  • @BoomBoxBlaz

    @BoomBoxBlaz

    Ай бұрын

    I also don't like coiling as it makes too much known, if you learn how to rotate on the balls of your feet, you can decrease the lag of movement from the spring and just rotate. That takes good bodily balance, so I get if it's tough. But a good fighter understands that attacks start from the lower body and trunk in most fighting, so learning to cut lag in between moves like coiling, is a good idea.

I did a full 10 minute round of skipping the other day without stopping (apart from a couple of times where I missed the rhythm) I could have probably done another 2 minutes but my hands started to cramp up (I’m 40 years old) I’ll give these steps a go.
