Do You Have This Common Boxing Fault? Fix it With a Simple Boxing Drill...Broom Handle Required!

One of the most common boxing technique faults, if not the most common, that I see in boxers is under-rotation when punching.

It is genuinely a major issue, and if you are affected by this you really should put in place measures to fix it.

This video will allow you to do exactly that by using a broom handle to form the basis of a simply boxing drill.

Under-rotating when punching loses you two things; reach and power.

Every punch that we throw in boxing requires rotation driven from the feet.

Whether it's the jab or the right cross, under-rotation will massively reduce the effectiveness of your offensive boxing techniques.

Effective punching at long range requires maximum rotation to maximise the length and power of your shots.

Effective punching at any other range requires maximum rotation to maximise power.

This is a no-brainer.

So, you can do this simple drill to ensure that you build the muscle memory to get your rotation right. All you need is a broom handle :-)

This is about marginal gains, making lots of small improvements across your full range of boxing techniques.

Cheers

Fran

    I take classes with a coach who has coached a few Oceanic champions yet doesn't demonstrate technique with this amount of detail for some unknown reason. Maybe he saves it for his 1 on 1's but you are a god save, my man!

    Thank you, perfect timing. Just last night my coach was just telling me that I need to rotate the hips more. I tend to not turn over as much as I need to especially if I'm trying to be fast with my punches. This is something I been told by my coach often, and the thing is I feel like I am rotating the hips properly but obviously not if I'm told to rotate more quite often. I'm going to work that drill you were talking about and fix this. Thank you and God bless

    Thank you coach. I think this is the solution to the problems im currently facing. I keep getting countered whenever I throw my jabs and cross, and would usually end up being passive and only throw jabs.
