🥊 3 Beginner Boxing Mistakes That Are Holding You Back

Everyone starts somewhere—but building good habits early makes a huge difference.

In this video, we cover three of the most common mistakes beginners make:

🥊 1. Crossing your feet
A solid stance is your foundation. Stay balanced and in position so you’re ready to move, defend, and punch.

👊 2. Dropping your hands after punching
Every punch should come right back to your face. Protect yourself and be ready for your next shot.

↔️ 3. Slipping the wrong direction
When you slip a punch, move to the outside—not into the path of the next punch. Good defense creates better opportunities to counter.

Master the fundamentals, and everything else becomes easier.

🥊 Learn to Wrap Your Hands the Right Way

Whether you’re stepping into your first boxing class or getting ready for hard rounds on the heavy bag, proper hand wraps are one of the most important pieces of equipment you have. Coach Derek Greene walks you through the right way to protect your hands and wrists before every workout.

Quick Hand Wrapping Tips:
✔️ Protect your knuckles with even layers—not bulky ones.
✔️ Lock in your wrist for added stability and power.
✔️ Wrap each finger to help reduce movement and improve support.
✔️ Keep your wrap snug, but never so tight that your fingers tingle or lose circulation.
✔️ Always finish by making a fist to make sure everything feels secure before you train.

A few extra minutes wrapping your hands can save you from weeks of injury.

🥊 Train smart. Train safe. See you in the ring.

Pressure. Pace. Problem solving.

Jiu-Jitsu isn’t learned standing still. You drill it. You test it. You sharpen it under pressure.

This is where technique becomes instinct.
