    Just did my first week in a boxing gym, did 2 boxing courses and 2 kickboxing courses and holding the pads was the most horrific experience haha. Everything went fine except for holding the pads, sorry to the guys that I wasted their rounds 😅

    EXCELLENT tips on mitt holding. I cannot stand it when trainers excessively slap with their mitts and/or hold their mitts really wide. I see Floyd's trainers slapping their mitts a lot, but when you're Floyd Mayweather, you can do whatever you want. But for the majority of people, the tips given in this video is spot on.
  • Can I just say how terrific this video is! Thank you from New Zealand 💯 Much respect.

    Thankyou your my first video to learn this but so far I don't need anyone else I believe , now I get to transfer some of my knowledge properly to my family
  • I've never understood why anyone would hold the mitts in a staggered fashion. My opponent's head is in one spot- not two. That was a fantastic explanation. Makes perfect sense!! Especially if you have a fighter who isn't rotating enough. Thank you☺️

    What is the name of the mitts you are using. The sound of the mitts is really good. I would like to purchase one.

    1. mitts should be close together 2. force them to rotate to reach mitts. don't bring to them, shortens range 3. staggered mitts 4. check him, throw left hook, to make him put body weight back and hand back to chin 5. pick up speed little by little 6. if you travel, he has to travel 7. 1,2, slip (throw jab). 1,2,slip,2. add hook to previous. add slip

    I was a beginner. The PT really bit my fist and hurt my wrist. I was doing a labouring job and throwing fertiliser bags all day so maybe he thought I had trained before. Bugger could have said something instead of hurting me if that's what he did. U mentioned jamming. English guy..
