How To Learn Boxing Footwork

Hi, I am Simon from Box Smart. I am an Amateur Boxing Association qualified boxing tutor. Today, I am going to go through some boxing techniques with you.

For more information, visit boxing-classes dot net. So, we are going to go for different movements through the feet starting with moving forward, backward, left and right. So, the main aim is never ever to cross your feet.

So if I move forwards, my front foot moves first. If I move backwards, my back foot moves first. If I move to the left, left foot moves first.

If I move to the right, right foot moves first. So, the better I get at this, the more I can speed it up. This way, if you notice, I never cross my feet.

The next boxing movement we are going to do is the push away. So from the set position here, I am going to push my weight from the front foot on to my back foot moving backwards. So from here, I move back sliding your front foot on the floor.

Move forwards and notice again, I don't cross my feet. Push away, moving back, step forward again. The next movement we are going to do after that is called a lean back.

So from here, I am going to have my weight in the middle of my stumps, then moving backwards, lean back to here. So, we are going to lean back my foot, my weight moves from the middle of my stumps to the back of my stumps. So from here, lean back, here getting my weight on to my back foot so that I can come again through my front foot.

Again there, lean back there, comfort to be short. And the final one we are going to do is if we're to jab and push away and set yourself for the next shot. So from here, my feet are in a set position.

I am going to go jab here, step back to the right and in forwards, okay. Again from my set position here, I would jab turning my foot. Then I move backwards, step to the right and forwards.

I will change my point of contact there, but I would never cross my feet. If I were to do that in real time now, jab, there, again one more time, jab, away, there. And again jab, away, jab away.

So I am going through those movements, forwards, backwards, left and right to move around the ring. The push away was to push away from your opponent and then move back. Then, the lean was back, was a short come to - leaning back away from it and possibly coming back through across there to retaliate or changing a point of contact from breaking the line of contact with someone - was to jab, step to the side and say again, every time I will get back to my set position.

That's how to learn boxing footwork. .
