YES, you can!
It will always be best to learn from an in-house trainer in a real gym. Since Pandemic, it forces you and even businesses to communicate and stay connected, meetings, run fitness classes online. Nonetheless, every skill can be learned from YouTube but how do you know who to learn from?
Are there legit boxers trainers, not some random guy who just had a few classes and thinks he can coach others to learn? I decided to write a post about this because some online forums that online training for fitness coaches doesn’t work. You might be one of those who want to learn how to box just for a technique or even add boxing to your exercise routine to lose weight but yet to explore any boxing gym. So does online coaching all hype or it can be a game-changer?
I found so many more great coaches, online, it is almost like a free trial class during a pandemic. I am amazed by what I have seen by the knowledge and passion, an experience that each coach put up on YouTube or other platforms of media.
Here are a few coaches that you can follow, this can be added to what you have already been learning if not you might find a gem on other techniques that can make your boxing skills way better like I did! Simple footwork on moving to the left has always been an issue for me but I found a technique that works for me finally.
Who are they?
Are they real coaches?
Let me give you reviews of a few that can be found to be helpful for you since it has been for me.

ExpertBoxing Founder’s name is Johnny who started in 2008. Not only a website, but he also has YouTube Channel. He started his website because it was more about not forgetting what his trainer taught him You can read more on his website about how that all happen. I found his website YouTube channel to be consistent, engaging, and thoughtful in every situation you can be in during a boxing class or even learning how to choose a pair of gloves.
Personally, I have followed Expert boxing since the shutdown due to pandemic and it has been a great help with how I box. Here is what is available in ExpertBoxing even if you are a beginner that can help your boxing skills :
- Beginner Guide

JT, PRECISION STRIKING
He ever since learns boxing, coach beginners to pros as well. The precision striking website also includes blogs and it has its own app too. I got the app, it’s pretty cool when it has an audio voice of him saying “one-two-one”. It has a bell sound too like in a real boxing match. Here is what Precision Striking offers:

Everyday I would watch boxing coaches’ lessons. The knowledge and application it is easy too. I did the research and tried along the training too to find the best ones so you don’t have to do the trial and error yourself, save yourself a huge time the next time you need some great workout or looking for better ways to improve your technique.
MY BOXING COACH
The founder of my boxing coach name is Fran Sand. This website has plenty of learning how to box from specific skills, training equipment guides. His guide is from basic fitness to the elite level so don’t be intimidate by following along. Here are more options, if you like to explore My boxing coach learning tools:

Don’t be fool by Fran Sand’s voice, even if his voice is such subtle same time he is pretty sharp, strict with his coaching style. I prefer this way of coaching because it resonates with the way I am as a coach in the gym. Give it a try and check out this space.
TONY JEFFRIES
Tony Jeffries is a UK Olympic Boxer and turns to be a coach, gym owner of a boxing gym in Los Angeles. Not every high Elite level like Tony can shift to being a coach because coaching is way more demanding, as results are expected by whoever your client is. His clients include actors like Robbie William, actresses, and even other sports Athletes. This made his credentials as a coach much more trustworthy.
He also created boxing program for coaches who are interested to be a boxing coach. His update on latest boxing matches (if you are interested in watching boxing match), opinion on recent professional fights and he has alot of humorous videos too. Here are a list of other platform you can find and learn more virtual :

Tony gives you plenty to choose from all his platform and courses as well. Pick whatever resonate with you with your boxing style and preference.
Every day I would watch from one of these boxing coaches’ lessons. The knowledge and application it is easy too. I did the research and tried along with the training too to find the best ones so you don’t have to do the trial and error yourself, save yourself a huge time the next time you need some great workout or looking for better ways to improve your technique.
Since there are 4 coaches you can get tips from, here is the biggest takeaway, choose a coach like you are shopping for anything you have bought in your life. Whoever you prefer then stick to it for a while and see what works, get feedback from your own boxing gym coaches (if you have one).
If you still don’t know who to choose, watch the Youtube videos they have from all 4. Whoever seems to keep attracting your answer, then go with that one for now! Let’s avoid from analysis paralysis situation and focus on those jabs or even to lose weight.
