Do you want to learn how to teach boxing and how to hold mitts? In this video, I break down how to take someone with zero experience and guide them through their first boxing lesson in under 30 minutes.
I share the fundamentals from scratch using my cameraman, Savio, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt with no boxing experience. If you want to learn how to hold pads for boxing or run a safe, high-energy session for a client, this video gives you a clear structure to follow. I talk through my approach for helping a beginner feel comfortable, keeping them engaged, and building their confidence step by step. Even if you are not a coach and just want to learn how to box, you will still pick up useful details from watching these basics in real time.
Inside this video, I cover:
-How to cue the boxing stance using simple foot placement references.
-Breaking down the jab, cross, and lead hook in a beginner-friendly way.
-Practical tips on how to hold mitts to keep the session smooth and safe.
-The “U shape” explanation to teach rolling under punches.
-Why shoulder and body sparring is a controlled way to introduce contact.
Tony’s top coaching cues to watch for:
-Check their feet. When your client steps forward, make sure they do not land flat-footed. Cue them to stay light on the balls of their feet.
-Watch their eyes. When teaching the roll, beginners often look at the floor. Encourage them to keep their eyes up and focused forward.
-Praise the hip rotation. When they start turning their hips and feet correctly, point it out to reinforce good habits.
