Picked up boxing for weight loss and started self learning it until one my friends saw my posts and helped me out. First video was Jan 10, 2025 2nd one is April 21, 2025

I'm pretty excited to get in the ring and have my first fight. Lately, I've been working on keeping distance and employing more long-guard techniques. I think I have pretty solid offense, speed, power, and all that for my first fight. My biggest weakness that I want to brush up on is my defense, especially my rear-hand defense. I would like to keep my opponent at range as a longer fighter, but sometimes they catch me with a good hook around my long guard. I think using more rear hand defense like parries, and lead hand defense like lifts will level up my game. And of course the most important and best defense, feet movement. I tend to get heavy footed, especially when I want to attack / late in the rounds. Attached is a sparring video that I had recently, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I want to see your guys training / sparring / fights. I do my best to pick out any constructive criticism I can give you guys, but this is an amazing opportunity to hear what everyone has to say and to see if there’s any unique insights that can be added from other people too. This is quickly turning into a community that can drastically help everyone see real progress from the comfort of their own home, and have a safe/non toxic space to do it in as well! 👊🏼
