Awesome tips.
I've been involved in MA for over 25 years, and I gotta say I love, and APPRECIATE, your videos. Love to see people with a desire to teach others. Keep doing what you're doing and best of luck to you!!
The way the system is these days you’re probs better just letting someone lay you out instead of defending yourself.
Never ever take someone to the ground in a street fight never.
That's old style.
Today they fight with knives or guns,
so run.
I'm a little conflicted by this. On one hand, any honest martial artist will tell you if you come up against a trained boxer in the street, you will have a real problem on your hands. By the time you get into your martial stance you will have worn multiple punches from a competent boxer. And watching Tony's vids has allowed me to correct mistakes I was making while doing bag work. That said after more study and testing I don't believe this is the best way to go in a street fight. First, Tony has a boxers mindset so he doesn't see that his closest weapon to an opponent is his lead leg. If he fired that off first, the opponent will react by trying to defend his groin meaning his head moves down allowing multiple strategies to be used. . Second, pushing an opponent back is not a good idea because it allows the drawing of a weapon should the opponent have one, or it at least puts you back to square one having to start the fight again. Plus Tony is for a split second off balance with his leading leg ready to be kicked But the major point I want to make is this vid is about fighting from a fighter, for fighters, perspective,. It's not a method a bespectacled office clerk can use with confidence with limited training. That requires a different mindset. That mindset is called self defence. There is a major difference.
It looks like you're hiyying your sparring partner in the lower sternum instead of the solar plexus. I don't think that would be as effective as a direct solar plexus strike. Just my thoughts.
2.50 mins. It's counter intuitive but use footwork to step towards them with you left elbow in front of your face, left hand over your left ear. Try to make contact with his face and your left elbow. Once in close you can take control with your left hand and use elbow strikes with your right arm. It's a fight stopper. Good advice, as always, from Mr Jeffries.
Thanks Einstein

Tony is awesome
Curious what if you're a southpaw?
Tony really tried to sneak in a double leg on a Boxing channel
Another brilliant and useful video. Thanks Tony 😊
Thank you tony for doing a video on how to defend an overhand right , I thought you wouldn't answer my question. Thanks 🙏🥊
A great moves, by unless you are sparring regularly and practicing you will find it hard to pull it off. And that's the thing people who have been in a lot of street fights have an advantage over those that don't.
Nice if you too can get your guilt decided by votes and not courts! Courts interrogate witnesses, evidence, documents, testimony. Voters do not. The jurors were chosen by both sides. Running for President is a good stay out of jail ticket though. Is the Party of Law and Order and family values really choosing this man to lead the country?
I’m sure you are a much better fighter than me. I did karate (kenpo) in the eighties, and aikido in the nineties. But I’m 67. Couple of things make me think this advice is mixed as far as help for me.
First, though aikido is generally seen as not realistic in a street fight the concepts of distance, angles, and entering are much better for me. I’ve seen some and been in a couple street fights and never understood why people do what you are showing, stand as if they were in a boxing match in range of their opponent. As an old man my reflexes, and this also goes for u trained people, is too slow. A punch is too quick to defend against. It’s almost like in a street fight the prelude some guy says “look I don’t want to fight” and at some point resign themselves to its happening and then position themselves right in the worst possible distance where the opponent has full extension and power. Create distance…make them have to move first to reach you!
Then too, I learned in both martial arts to never (unless some circumstance that negates it) back up in a straight line. Better to circle, to their power side if possible, so they don’t have a clear avenue of attack.
Lastly, you don’t really show the punches, but punching someone in the face there is a good chance of breaking bones in your hand. Then where am I…can’t use my dominant hand and he didn’t go down. How about a slap, or moving in and an elbow? How about an open hand strike? Without boxing gloves the hand is not protected and hitting certain areas at certain angles can break your bones.
I very much like your strap back on the dominant foot, and the possibilities there, but I would first put more distance, doesn’t have to be a lot. Also strong arm or not, if you can get your elbow up in front of your face, (fist behind you) it can negate a strike no?
From a person who’s been in too many street fights from being a teenager through my late 30’s (and every so often after that) the most important rule is don’t fight if you can do show get away. If you can’t, ALWAYS strike first when it becomes apparent that the fight is unavoidable. Like Tony said, Act like your afraid in an attempt to get your opponent to drop his guard and then fire the hardest punch you can into his chin or jaw and then do not stop striking until the fight is over. Few have the skill to defend and counter. The person that strikes first wins at least 90% of the time. The first fight I was in I hesitated and got hit first. Thankfully, people separated us. I never got hit first again. And never lost again.
What if he had a gun ❤❤😂😂
Are you based in Bali by any chance?
How about a lefty?
Solid advice!
Fantastic video….kudos to your partner….did a great job. Keep rockin!
@1:35 Bruce Lee would have worked off the dominant hand forward ..😂
I don't see how this would work on someone with a great big fat beer-belly.
Who else is here form instagram
Where to aim at ? Whrn Not wearing gloves.
What if you're left handed like me?
I will use Dempsey roll and th opponent will be on the ground..😅😅
Wow, would be helpful
Thanks!
Sir , im from India and as you know boxing is not popular in india thats why I get a lot of confusion in this sport, can you make a video on explaining proper form of basic defence in boxing- block, parry,slip,roll, bob and weave etc.
Hope you will note ignore your small brother like subscriber !

Cool video! I'm a Mom in my 20s lookng for boxing videos to get into for at-home fitness. I came across your channel and am having a lot of fun. I sent this video to my teenage brother just in case ☺️
👊Punch
Usually the bully will lead with his right arm and his right foot as well
You are a really good Teacher. But this smells like WT. A fight ist often more dynamic. (Excuse my bad english)
The opponent often throw a punch and skip the distance, to throw another or get into clinch. The Theory is good. But not practicable.
Tony, you're in Bali?
Tony, please make a video on soviet style ( day 20 )
