Without a good boxing stance you will never achieve good boxing basics. There are many variations of a boxing stance, but it's always good to start with a simple 7-step boxing stance. On top of this stance you can work to the next set of boxing basics.

Controlled movement. When you move about you need to maintain the good structure of the boxing stance. We can start with 4 directions of movement - forwards, backwards, left and right. To further enhance your boxing basics you can include the lead foot and rear foot pivot.

When it comes to the boxing basics of defence I am not going to be radical. Keep your hands up. Seems like a reasonable idea to me. Every now and again, duck. So, hands up and duck once in a while...now were are helping ourselves not get hit...got to be good boxing basics that.

When it comes to the boxing basics of punching, if you are just starting out, don't trouble yourself with uppercuts and hooks. They are the most technically challenging punches...leave them until later. Get your straight shots to work well, they are the punches that you will use most, so make sure they are as good as they can be.

Finally, to really grasp these basics be very aware of the kind of faults that creep in when executing the skills. Flaring elbows, hands dropping, losing stance integrity. If you are aware of them you can fix them. Final principle to getting the boxing basics right, deliberate repetition. When you do stuff over and over again, in a controlled and correct way, you get better at it.

    I am a 65 yr old that started boxing for fitness 2 months ago; no sparring due to age and aversion to head injury. Plenty of shadow boxing, mitts and bag work. The 2 much younger men that I train with are pretty impressed with my progress. As a younger man I trained in traditional Japanese karate and there are a few similarities in hitting technique but the footwork and defence are completely different. Your videos have helped me immensely. You keep it simple and straight forward Fran. Thanks coach 👍🥊🇨🇦

    This video is really gold. One thing I really took from you from myBoxingCoach montly was something along the lines of.. “master the basics like a pro so you can break them like an artist” that’s pretty much how I approach a lot of things now with the fundamentals. Even when I go back to these basics I’m always learning something new. Thank you coach Fran

    My first sparing at 42 I went for a jab so did the other guy and both our heads rocked back. Never been hit before such a weird feeling. Whenever I go for a jab so does he. SLO mo was watching us both looking at the sky with a jab in each others faces.
