Hey guys, I was wondering whether you've found any high level boxing instructional videos on Youtube. I'm talking about mechanics of strikes and such.
 
Definitely not the best in boxing, but I do know the fundamentals and have been in many boxing gyms and academies. Kenny Weldon has one of the finest boxing instructional systems in the nation. I have seen him coach/teach and seen people who have studied with him teach and his system of teaching boxing is the best I've seen from teaching a person who has no experience to learning what boxing is. Some trainers or coaches can teach in a small group or maybe only one person at a time, but I've seen him teach and people who teach his system of boxing easily teach 30-50 people at a time.
 
Read this thread, and watch the videos inside:

Seriously. Do it. Also check out Luis' fist formation tutorial:



And lead uppercut tutorial:



There are a ton of videos of Weldon on youtube. Look through them.



This one is a good basic overview, but won't teach you much you don't already know.



I like the way Brewster teaches a left hook, but the real value is the defensive options he shows later in the video.



Those are just the ones I've seen. In my opinion there isn't much worth watching out there in terms of striking tutorials. Try to find a good video on pivoting, for example? You'll find a bunch of dudes crossing their feet and/or spinning like ballerinas.
 
Really interesting. Thank you. The most 'unlike me' style there is Kenny's style (boxing with weight on the back foot). I'm from a Muaythai / MMA background, so I'm used to weight being 50/50 (ish), but I find this concept of weight on the back foot very interesting as I've very recently started boxing and do find myself stuck on the front foot from times to time.

The stance Kenny is teaching seems incredibly narrow, I noted that both Mayweather and Berto had really wide stances, this weekend.

Any thoughts on this stance, a guy?
 
'JT Van V' does some pretty good instructionals, especially for infighters.

Kenny's stance isn't incredibly narrow for boxing. Generally speaking in boxing, there are two acceptable widths for feet. Shoulder width, and slightly greater than shoulder width. Anything beyond that borders on inappropriately wide. Floyd has adapted to wide stances likely due to that he has a spinal curvature that allows for better hip-mobility by exaggerating. When he widens-out, you'll notice he doesn't become immobile. Berto does, which suggests he widens out because he doesn't know any better.
 
As we are on the subject of Boxing Instructional Videos, are there websites on Boxing with premium content similar in reputation and style as either BJJ Fanatics or the Grapplers Guide for Submission Grappling?

As I posted just a bit ago, I came across one training I think is very good. Basics, not advanced (whatever that is). And it appears he's not alone on you tube.

Right off, he makes the impression about how doing 'everything' right is very important. A real challenge in these boxing basics.

With these amateur fighter posts, these seem to go out the window. Not to mention the UFC striking. Sloppy, for a catch word.

I don't know much of anything about boxing, but I have watched the recent FW vids here along with his two fights against MMA competitors. And I recognized what you said (stance width) about him right away.

Interesting, such an excellent boxer departing from your standard. Chalk it up to being 'expert,' I guess.
 
In regards to YouTube, I have seen some good stuff by Modern Martial Artist and Jack Slack.

Τhose are fights and styles breakdowns. Analysts do those kind of videos.
Coaches can do those, but they can also do instructionals, because that's what they do for a living.

I apologize, as not seeing the difference. I feel I learned some tech in those videos but as you say they definitely are not like Jason Scully's works.
 
I also learned a lot from analysts too.
Analysts are a very good source for learning strategy and basic principles, or to get to know better
various fighters they analyze. And those videos are really fun to watch.

They cant actually communicate how to do it. They're not instructors. Meaning it's up to the viewer to extrapolate technical aspects
