This review covers the first video in this series: "How to Box".
I thought that this was a good solid intro to boxing. The instructor begins with the basics: stance. He gives a good explanation for the standard stance - it's not "just do it this way", but "stand this way BECAUSE doing so will get your weight aligned like so, your reach like so, and your...", etc.
The instructor then covers the basic punches, clearly explaining what joints pivot, what muscles move...and, just as importantly, what parts of your body DO NOT move (his explanation of how a lot of people hurt their elbows was a good one).
I'm just using the boxing techniques to practice with a heavy bag as a warmup and a cool down in weight training, but I really dislike the idea of greasing the groove with bad technique, so this video was quite useful to me - I got my stance and punches right from the start.
