Joe's Boxing Tips This page is aimed at those who haven't really done boxing before and I have tried my best to take boxing movements break them down give them names where applicable and illustrate how they are done and apply. It is by no means a bible and I have used mostly people with limited experience so that it relates better to beginners and is accessible. Feel free to make constructive comments but I reserve the right to remove the comments of trolls and armchair experts.

Once mastered the beginners step the basic boxing step is done by shifting the weight between the feet , both feet still hit the ground but the weight shifts twice on the left and twice on the right. this lessens the impact of the skipping on the knees but also teaches the student to seamlessly transfer their weight between their fight gaining optimal balance and power
Beginners step , feet about 6 inches apart , both feet must hit the ground, wrists do the work not the arms , one revolution - one jump, as small a jump as possible. once comfortable graduate to basic boxing step with weight transferring from side to side twice on the left then twice on the right.
This is a good exercise to improve balance and weight shift as well as torso movement and slipping & weaving
This is a pattern combining the slip, bob , weave, Philadelphia shell and upward block in to a smooth pattern with one technique feeding on to the next.
The weave goes from right to left then throwing a left right combination then weave left to right and throw right left combo, use your shoulder either side to cover your chin
The Bob ducks under punches or hooks and the exercise uses three heights each going deeper try and drop straight down and drive straight back up and throw either hand as you are on balance to throw.
The Mayweather twist uses torso twist circling to the left then back to the right - circle as far back as you can using your shoulders to cover as you turn.
The forward slip slips the punch forward and bend from the core from left then back then to the right - concentrate on the retraction for maximum effect
The Tyson slip is done by locking the hips and below and rocking side to side with the torso
Will demonstrates explosive training exercise on to three barrels. Impressive fitness regime for our best competitor on his way to state titles
Variation on first tyre slam holding the outside of the tyre. This is kind of like hitting a tyre with a sledgehammer but this uses the tyre only raising it above and behind your head slowly then slamming it as hard as you can on the ground. do three sets of 20 and you will feel it bad. This is about getting that explosion which is so important in boxing.

In boxing we are always searching for ways to be faster and more explosive, here is the first of some plyometric exercises using a car tyre. Car tyres & truck tyres are gr8 pieces of equipment awkward to handle and therefore increasing core strength to stabilize.

Justann Crawford Two time Olympian takes a student through some pad work. See how he weaves attack and defence moves in to the routines. Starting with jab jab cross jab cross
Often in boxing throwing the same technique as a counter is the best counter. Jab together is a good practice where partner A throws a jab and partner B catches the punch in front of his face like a baseball mitt & counters with his own jab which in turn is caught by his partner. Initially this is done from standing still but then is done moving back and forth
Another useful technique In making the transition to competition is parallel punching allowing you to force your opponent back on attack and you can defend with power reversing. Each punch is simultaneously backed with a stamp down from the same foot. This technique is taught at the institute of sport.
In making the transition to competition we have found the most useful tool is the step or bounce jab allowing you to force your opponent to keep that extra distance from you thus establishing you range. See how Will stamps down then bounces back to position.
The hook demonstrated here is a short hook where the arm is less than 90o at the elbow (convex). to make sure the first two knuckles strike the jaw the thumb is up. The weight is rocked back and forth between the punches allowing the student to create room and power to execute.
The important part of the uppercut is to not drawback the fist thus telegraphing the technique to your opponent, making it slower & not reinforcing with your body. Also bending your knees and driving up gives body leverage and following through with the punch is more than ok just ask Manny the 'Pacman' 
The Following are an illustration of defensive avoidance techniques in motion with caption names to help memorize

The following set is about pivots 
Left jab step right pivot Right Cross
Right Hand step left turning hook
We have a saying if you 'lock out you knock out' Bring your punch back to your chin each time. Use the yin and yang of your arms to get flow and extra power and use your feet to rock balance and also drive especially with your power hand foot see video Basic technique as described by the Australian Institute of Sport boxing manuals The institute of sport has simplified boxing technique to just three techniques straight punches head or body, uppercuts to head or body and hooks to the head or body. Instead of calling things jab or lead hand hook or cross straight right etc they use the terms 'forehand' and 'power hand' reducing the need to use different terminologies for right and left handers. When you see an AIS training manual they look like code use such acronyms such as 'VFH' meaning varied forehand covering jab, uppercut, hook with the lead hand. As a bit of history I only learned recently the difference between a straight right and a cross. The straight 'right' (assuming right hander so the right is the power hand) goes to the target where as the cross comes over the opponents jab to the jaw.
