What is Shoulder Popping when Shadowboxing? 🥊

- Do your shoulders pop while shadowboxing? Shoulder popping/snapping is a sign that you are punching with the correct technique. When you keep your shoulders relaxed and drive with your lower body, your punches become whips! This also ensures that you return to your neutral base/stance as quick as possible upon finishing a punch 🥊

As you get more experienced you will start to feel the pop during shadow boxing, really helps with technique especially for boxers who punch with their arm rather than their waist
Best explanation I've seen on here. Thanks!
glad to hear!
Your video highlights a very important, technical point in shadowboxing--probably less explained and understood by many of us, thinking we're doing it right! The punch though, starts at the foot; up to the hips (the torqueing mechanism)--the body, whip-like, follows through, as so perfectly detailed--to the target! Thanks for your video!
this is very well said bro cheers!
Thats cool, lately ive been popping my my shoulders with my chin tucked and I've been kinds hitting myself with shoulder lmao
Maybe your popping it to much
@@Lifeisbrutal. Perhaps. But once you pop you cant stop cocopops
good demonstration of the shadow boxing and shoulder pop thank you
Awesome man
It’s basically like during a test that says “show your work” how you got a certain answer. It’s kinda like how I view this if that makes any sense.
well explained, nice video bro! But drive your elbow higher (on height of your shoulder) so you generate more power by your shoulder rotation. That`s what Olympic boxer Alexej Frolov explains.
Sick vid man insightful
My right hand has a good snap, and it took me like 3 months to have my left having the same snap.
same! Took my non-dominant hand longer to make sense of the body mechanics!
Awesome breakdown, new sub here!
thank you!
i don´t agree to 100%.... well, there is a little more to the shoulder pop than staying relaxed or punching like whip. Another thing it is useful for is protecting your chin. If you watch the clips you added in your video you can see that the movement can be described as raising your shoulders while keeping the chin low. Your shoulder protect your chin! Especially soviet style boxers are perfecting this. Watch bivol! He is raising his shoulders insanely high, it´s not about popping but protection.
You're missing the point of the video. The "shoulder popping" enables you to punch powerfully and quickly without a "wind-up" like seasoned fighters do. It has nothing to do with defense. The same "pop" can be done with the pelvis, too. Combining the two will give you fast, powerful punching power.
You're missing the point of my comment. I do not disagree to 100% with the video i'm just adding up the reasons for boxers to do this certain movement since the point of the video was to explain What it is and WHY they do this.
At one point of the video he describes the movement as "raising the shoulders". And every coach will tell you that this also helps defense.
You’re entirely missing the point. Dipping your chin and raising your shoulders is an active thing that you do as defence, but what this video is explaining is how the ‘pop’ of the shoulder happens naturally when proper biomechanics are employed.
I train in the Soviet Style, and yes we do have high shoulder position, but that has nothing to do with what this video is talking about.
@@mikecrook8434 please explain the pelvis pop further. i am a beginner but i know i dont have any technique yet. how would a beginner get feel of this pelvis pop and develop it? any drills? thank you

beast!
Hello Bro, when I throw a right jab in boxing, I feel my shoulder snap. I've heard about shoulder snapping to throw punches better, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing I'm experiencing because every time I throw a right jab, I feel my shoulder snap, but it's not the snap many talk about for throwing punches well; it's more like the snap you get when cracking your fingers, but inside the shoulder on the frontal side.
It doesn't hurt, but I'm not sure if it's normal.
Hey bro that would only happen when you let the shoulder "snap" without engaging upon full extension! Make sure you engage all your supporting muscles upon impact/extension.
Should we consciously engage at the last moment ?
I ask it cause i read that in order to engage at this moment we should consciously try to relax upper body muscles even during impact to actually engage but i m not sure if that is true...
Thanks for sharing it but it looks to me that pro boxers don t use that pop technique for straight punches or am I wrong ?
they definitely do! We just don't see it as clearly as the hooks as the pop goes along the same plane as the straight punch's trajectory!
@@JasonBoxingNerd Great, thank you!
Can u pop in straight punches also?
Great question! Yes you do! That would be the result of fully extending your punch (you should feel a tug on your lat muscles)
Oh yeah. It’s least intuitive compared to uppercuts and hooks. Maybe you’ve already figured it out but I’ll try to explain for anyone else.
The feel for it can be amplified if imagined like a shrug/roll of the shoulders. If you look at your right shoulder, it rolls ’forwards’ anti-clockwise for straights/hooks; clockwise ‘backwards’ for uppercuts.
The best way to lock down the ,former, forward roll is to gently exaggerate the lag of an overhand and gradually turn it into a straight. Same for jabs of course. And like the vid states it is about looseness. You only lock out to follow a landed punch through.
It really helps to watch the old schoolers who had much whippier jabs and bouncier shoulders. Guys like Ali, Hearns, Hagler, Holmes to name a few.
Not only does it work with hooks but also with straight punches AND with upper cuts! In addition to regular weight training, I include a heavy-bag workout 3X a week. I love hitting the bag using this correct form. It's actually fun to do physically. Audibly, the crisp sound your punches make hitting the bag is very satisfying as well.
Yes. It’s the same movement as if you were throwing a shot-put. The hips and torso move and whip the arm out like a piston
