Kewlus Training Fundamentals

Thank you for choosing Kewlus and welcome to the Kewlus Training Fundamentals series of videos. This series covers the importance of rhythm, explaining how it was used by world champions to dominate and win fights. I made these videos to help motivate, guide and inform you for when you practice on the Kewlus in your home. You'll learn the fundamentals of training with the Kewlus using guided sessions of several rounds each over a 3-week period. Each session and every round is packed with insights into how specific boxing techniques which you practice on the Kewlus have been used in the ring by the legends of the sport. Let's get into it!

Note: these videos are not intended to replace the true benefits of having a real life coach who can see the mistakes you're making and help you correct them. I highly recommend that you attend your local boxing gym or club for a few lessons so that you can make sure your technique is perfect. These videos are more of a progression guide and serve as a session timer when you're practicing at home, while explaining the importance of rhythm and other aspects of the sport as used by the legends of boxing.

Week 1: Basic Rhythm & Technique

Week 1 is all about establishing rhythm, learning about the importance of the jab in boxing and the advantages of stringing together combinations like the jab-cross. Start with Session 1 on your first training day and repeat it for as many training days as needed to become comfortable. Then move on to Session 2. Alternate between Session 1 and Session 2 from day-to-day for as many days (or even weeks) as you need to become confident. 

Session 1 (2 x 2min rounds)

Use this session to work on establishing a steady rhythm, focussing on developing a fast and steady jab while maintaining good form. If you have more in the tank, you can either use a timer to extend your session or simply restart the video at the beginning of the first round and repeat the two rounds.

Key Focus areas: maintaining correct distance, rotating the hand (palm facing down during impact), returning the jabbing hand directly (not letting the hand drop), developing both sides equally (develops both shoulders and improves coordination).

Session 2 (3 x 2min rounds)

Introduction to the cross and the first combo, the jab-cross. In this session you will learn why combinations are so important in boxing and how legendary boxers like Muhammad Ali used them to dominate and win fights.

Key Focus areas: maintaining correct distance, rotation of the body and back foot for the cross, maintaining rhythm and 4/4 timing, developing both sides equally (develops both shoulders and improves coordination).
