Hello and welcome to learn to box with Alex Cox
0:03
That's just a working title. They probably won't use that but I mean, if you've got the name for it, you've got lean into that a little bit, haven't you
0:09
Today I'm going to take you through classic little warm-up that I use in my boxing classes
0:13
and I'm going to run you through all the punches you need to have a safe and effective boxing workout
0:18
I'm going to do it shadow style. If you want to use some light dumbbells, you go for it
0:23
more power to you. But this is going to be the basics, how it's all going to work
0:26
You're going to need to see me at a slight angle, so I'm going to spend a lot of time, standing like this. I'll run you through the basics of how you need to stand
0:33
And we'll just run it through real quick. So let's get you warm and then I can get you straight into it
0:38
We're going to go 20 jumping jacks, 20 shoulder taps. So here and then just here
0:44
A bit of core activation. Let's roll, shall we people? Let's go. 20 up here
0:50
So I always do this because it's mobilization for the shoulders. It gets your core temperature up
0:54
Now you're going to have to be hot on your counting because I'm talking the whole time
0:58
It's more difficult for me. Should be counting. Should be counting on my fingers, really, isn't I? I've got the right amount, so it should work
1:02
12, 13, I think. Okay, as soon as you hit your 20
1:07
take it on down, spread your feet as wide as you like. 19, 20, and we take it into shoulder taps
1:13
So drop your hips in line, we tap and tap, tap and tap
1:18
Now, I'm not going to spend too long on the footwork in this one. Watch one of my other videos for a little bit more on footwork and movement patterns
1:24
This one is going to be about hitting combos. What goes where, how to put them together
1:29
so you can have fun on a boxing bag. Good. So we've got 20
1:35
Now, as a right-hander, my stance means my left foot goes forward a little bit, my right foot goes back and to the side, I have my front side, have my back side
1:43
So my punches are going to come here, my weaker ones in my left hand
1:47
and my stronger ones in my right hand, because that's the most strongest side, okay
1:51
If you are left-handed, yours is exactly the opposite, and your front side will be your right, because that will be your weaker arm, okay
1:57
one, two, three, four, five, and six. Now I'm a right-hander, so I'm going to show you
2:03
most of these things right, if you're left-handed, you reverse everything I say. Very, very simple
2:07
We go with a jab cross, that'll be one, two. You've got a mirror that you can aim at
2:12
It's great for a little bit of angular stuff, because you go jab cross about your chin height
2:17
You're going to aim with those two knuckles every time. I'll go with a one, two, real simple
2:21
Then my hooks three and four my front hook and back hook whichever arm is closer front side remember and your upper cuts five and six So combo becomes one and two three and four five and six Now you notice my
2:38
hands are always up here because they're halfway to their target already. It saves me a lot of time
2:42
It means I'm not accidentally doing invisible bicep curls the whole time, which get a bit tedious
2:46
and that will tie you out. So, jab cross, one, two, hooks, three and four, uppercuts, five and six
2:55
simple. Let's start putting them together. So we go. One, two, three, four. Jab cross, hook, hook
3:01
One, two, three, four. Jab cross, hook, hook. Now you notice, I've come up and I pretty much go lateral
3:08
So I'm level with the floor, horizontal, if you like. Now we're going to add in that five and that six
3:14
So we've got a one, two, three, four, five, six. All right, jab cross, front and back hook, front and back up we've got
3:21
See how wordy that sounds? That's why we use the numbers quite a lot. You can get into the habit
3:25
of using those numbers, these things will fly through. It's way more fun for you
3:29
One, two, three, four, five, six. Now so far everything we've done has been on the number
3:35
As you notice, because I'm a right-hander, that's all my even numbers. Two, four, six
3:40
All my weaker ones, one, three, five. We're going to mix them up
3:44
because putting it in the same pattern the whole time will be incredibly boring, and we're here to do some combos
3:48
So that should have us warm. Let's get into our first combo. I'm going to go with a one, two, three, six
3:55
So it's a jab cross, front hook, back upper cut. Okay? We're going to do that for roughly 30 seconds
4:02
and we're going to expand on it. I'm just going to add a little bits. The only thing I need to run through is we have a slip motion
4:08
Okay, so my back slip to my back side, I go slip
4:12
My slip to my front side, as in the one nearest due, we'll be there, a little drop of the shoulder
4:18
I use one shoulder for defense, and I'm defending my chin. Okay
4:22
Very, very simple. That makes sense? So back slip. to my back side, front slip to my front side
4:27
We want to be light on my toes the whole time? The rest is a dream. Got about eight seconds for that to slip into your brain
4:33
because we need to get into these combos, okay? We go one, two, three, six
4:38
I go one, two, three, six. Now I'm gonna be light on my toes, so I wanna, one, two, little step in for a three six
4:45
Light and bouncy, one two, three six. Nice and simple, keep it loose, keep it loose
4:50
Jab cross, front hook, back up a cut. Remember, no matter if you right or left handed
4:55
like a little bit of variety Learn to do it both ways because we have a bunch of left handers here And rightly so you know Okay so we going to add in one of those slips I was talking about
5:06
After your three, six, I'm going to drop your back shoulder and give me a four. So I'll look like this
5:11
One, two, three, six, drop my back shoulder and I'm going to go in with a big back hook
5:16
That's my four on the back end. Watch again. One, two, three, six, back shoulder and into my back hook
5:24
one, two, three, six, slip, four. In a slow mo, there's nothing wrong with your set
5:30
That was me slowing it down. One, two, three, six, slip it, four
5:37
Okay, now we go back to pace. One, two, three, six, slip it
5:42
And that nice big back hook. Now we're not done here. We haven't done our front uppercut
5:47
We're going to bring in a five now. One, two, three, six, slip back, four, and then a short
5:54
short, sharp front upper cut. Okay? Keep that elbow tucked in. Drive with your hips
5:59
Arm on its own is weak. Arm combined with your body. Your leg strength can be strong
6:04
Okay? So one, two, three, six. Slip it back, four, five. See
6:10
All those punches we touched on earlier. Now we're just going to put a little finisher on there
6:15
We're going to add a final back uppercut to it. Okay? So, one, two, three, six
6:22
slip, four, five, six. Okay, have it? Give you right down the lens
6:28
Let's see what you got. One, two, three, six. Slip back, four, five, six
6:35
Remember, if you have that mirror, aiming for your own chin. That's your best targeting that you can handle
6:41
One, two, three, six, slip, four, five, six. Now, this is something that's actually quite fun to do
6:46
It looks quite pro if you can get it all together. Keep it up, keep it tight. One, two, three, six, six
6:52
Slip, four, five, six. You got it. We go boxer sit-ups. Hit your bench or the floor
6:59
We go sit-up and a double punch. Strong core. There is no coincidence that the boxes you see are jacked
7:08
The training they go through is insane. You're lucky I didn't break out a skipping rope this morning
7:14
Okay, we're going to go into our next combo. On my cue. In three, I'm going to squeeze one more in two and one
7:21
Okay, now. Now, we're gonna flip some of that stuff. I want a one two five four So that is a jab cross a front upper cut and a back hook okay One two five four
7:35
Nice and simple. Jab, cross. Step in for that front uppercut. Give me that back hook, okay
7:41
Now, going into that slip again, we're going to slip and add a six
7:45
So it's a slip to your back side because the six is a backhand punch. One, two, five, four, slip back and a big six
7:53
Now, a big upper cut should be like a finishing punch. You can put a lot of roll. See the shoulder comes across for defense
7:59
And then I rotate through. That's where I generate my force. One, two, five, four, slip in, six
8:06
Now we're going to put a three on the back end. That's going to be your front hook. I haven't done that punch yet
8:11
You see how we're going? Putting all the punches in to get a lot of practice and everything. One, two, five, four
8:17
Slip back six, three. Watch again. One, two, five, four. Slip it six. Hit the three. Okay. Of course you are. Absolutely flying through this. I can feel the energy from the other side
8:31
Could be electrical, but it's either way. It's great. One, two, five, four. Slip, six, three. Now we're going to put an extra slip for this to my front side and a five. Okay, watch just carefully
8:44
One, two, five, four. Slip back for a six, three. Slip forward for a five
8:51
Again, one, two, five, four, back, six, three, forward, five. And just to finish this one, we're gonna add a six on the end, we're finished with Boxer Situps
9:04
this one's out, one, two, five, four, slip, six, three, slip five, and then finish it with
9:11
a six. You have all that? One, two, five, four, slip, six, three, slip, five, six
9:18
Fabulous. Boxer sit ups, let's get you. you out of here. 30 seconds. Far away. Sinned it up. Crunches. Crunches and punches
9:29
as I used to call this. But it's a sit-ups. That doesn't really carry. 10 seconds
9:39
And we're up and we're out. Nicely done. Fabulous energy. Nice work. That is all you will need
9:46
for a successful boxing session in the future. This was your 10-minute box with me
