Boxing for the taller person

17.06.2025

Hour seven of my client's course looked at better developing his style. Having watched him spar from the outside, I noticed certain strengths and weaknesses we were able to address in this lesson.

Firstly, he is generally taller than most other opponents and favours a low guard. It's unusual for a beginner, but it works for him. However, we need to work on using his shoulder and rear hand more as well as keeping his chin in.

Secondly, he naturally favours a pawing jab. We better developed this to set up various tactics. I also introduced the flicker jab, the step-jab and more circling footwork. With these areas in place, we looked at the long range hook. He didn't suit the Cuban versions of either the jab or hook, so we stayed with the conventional versions.
