Boxing for Beginners 101 | Top 10 Mistakes That You Must Avoid

https://www.myboxingcoach.com - Having been a boxing coach for almost 30 years, I have worked with 1000s of beginner boxers. Learning boxing is a process, a process of learning a series of basic boxing skills. As with any process mistakes are made, and these mistakes can be common across all beginner boxers. This video details the 10 most common mistakes that I see being made by beginner boxers.

0:00 Introduction

1:05 Losing the line
1:52 Losing the front foot
3:10 Nose & Knee
3:44 Hands Up!
4:15 Stance Narrowing
4:51 Crossing the Legs
5:44 Telegraphing Punches
6:20 Return to Guard
6:40 Home Hand
7:30 Under Rotation

As a beginner boxer you need to avoid these mistakes. If you can avoid these beginner mistakes from the start of the learning process, life is much easier. Once you get past the 'beginner boxer' stage, going back and fixing these mistakes is more difficult than simply avoiding them in the first place.

I would say that the best piece of 'boxing for beginners' advice I can give is to avoid these errors from the outset. If you can see that you are making any of these mistakes, put some effort into fixing them (this means drilling the correct execution over and over again).

As a beginner boxer, and even as an advanced boxer, it's not possible to be brilliant all of the time. It is however possible to 'avoid dumb'. Being aware of these beginner mistakes in your style and NOT doing something about it constitutes DUMB.

This truly is Boxing for Beginners 101.
