What is the BTF?
It's my premium boxing coaching package that will enable anyone with sufficient determination to progress from raw novice to effective boxer in the shortest possible timeframe. It includes the following:

3 hours and 30 minutes of High-Definition video
At the core of the Boxing Training Foundation are the instructional videos. This is proper boxing coaching containing clear, precise and no-BS descriptions and demonstrations. There are 6 videos in the set, in MP4 format. You can stream the videos over the internet, or you can download them to run on your own computer.

The Boxing Training Foundation Manual
The manual is a 140-page PDF eBook. It provides structure, a host of tips, and additional depth to the videos. It's a mine of information which also delivers on-line resources at exactly the right point in the learning process to give you the best possible chance of improvement.

Lifetime Foundation Member status
Automatic entry to an exclusive members-only website where you will have access to all of the Foundation materials, and to additional insights and techniques to further improve your skills and fitness. Every level of boxing experience from raw novice to hardened expert is represented in this exclusive club, providing a rich resource of knowledge to tap into to get answers to any boxing question you might have.

 How will the BTF benefit you?
You will:
  • Build a slick, precise and highly effective boxing style by combining a range of skills in a structured and easy-to-learn way.
  • Build powerful combinations of punches along with defensive skills and slick footwork that will leave opponents punching fresh air.
  • Experience a massive power-to-weight ratio increase over the space of a few short weeks that will enable you to punch well above your weight.
  • Amass the knowledge and keen eye required to become a coach, to enable you to identify areas of improvement in your own style (or the style of others), and to put appropriate corrective measures into place.
  • Build the self-assurance and self-confidence that is possessed by all top fighters.
  • Shed any excess weight to reveal a fighter's physique, as you build power and endurance.
  • Become a lifetime member of an exclusive club, with access to further training, follow up videos, and a place to go to ask any questions or to get some support.

 Why I created the Boxing Training Foundation
  • To provide a set of resources that would make the benefits of boxing training fully accessible to all, whatever their level of knowledge or experience of the sport.
  • To create a true coaching experience. A training regime that is practical, realistic and packed with benefits that can be quickly gained, and more importantly be enhanced over months and years.
  • To deliver detailed, consistent and specific coaching advice on the key areas of boxing fitness and boxing skills required to successfully establish the ideal basics.  95% of what the champions do is 'the basics', they just do them very well.
  • To ensure that within a couple of hours you would be self-sufficient in defining your future in terms of boxing skills and boxing fitness. You will have a framework that you can adapt, depending upon your needs, circumstances and even your mood.
  • To provide unique boxing learning and fitness resources that are head and shoulders above anything else available, and that provide fantastic value for money.
  • To provide an interesting alternative to the modern, chrome-laden, fake-tan swamped, sterile gymnasiums that offer tread mills, rowing machines, exercise bikes and weight machines. Improving your physical fitness by learning a technical discipline is much more likely to culminate in a true 'change of lifestyle'.

 How does the BTF work?
Getting you started
In the first part of the Boxing Training Foundation, I'll describe the objectives, how it works and the structure and timetable. This allows you to map out your own landscape, and gives you absolute control of how you apply the principles of the Boxing Training Foundation.

Get the right equipment
I provide all of the impartial advice you need on equipment that we use, and how to use that equipment. This is affordable stuff that can result in a well equipped space for you to work out in your own home.

Running, nutrition and more
I'll give simple, straightforward advice on running, nutrition and understanding range in boxing. I keep it simple in order for these aspects to support the Boxing Training Foundation. By getting these things right and understanding what works, you will maximize the benefits on offer.

The Golden Rules…
I lay down the 'golden rules' to enable effective preparation and follow through with your Boxing Training Foundation. These simple rules, if you stick by them, will ensure that your success will be guaranteed.

 The 7-Phase Session…
The Boxing Training Foundation session consists of 7 phases that you will complete in under an hour. Each phase is designed to provide the most authentic on-line boxing training session. This is a truly interactive digital coaching experience that will shape your boxing approach for years to come.

Phase 1 – The Warm-Up
Phase 1 is the Warm-Up. I give a full demonstration of a boxing-specific warm up that will prime you for a top performance during your session. We work through various warm up drills that give a full-body session, ensuring that the risk of injuries is minimized, and the cardiovascular system and muscles are ready for the challenges of the session.

Phase 2 – Skills Development
This is where we start the process of learning the technical skills, and boy is there lots of insights and methods to enable an accelerated path to learning how to box. We have an extensive range of core skills, foundation drills and mobility drills all of which have a consistent method of delivery. The Foundation Drills are designed to develop your ability to combine punching and movement seamlessly, the most challenging aspect of learning the sport. The drills can also combine so that the variations available as you develop are pretty much endless.

Phase 3 – Shadow Boxing
Onto that most vital of boxing training activities, shadow boxing. I'll describe how to apply the skills that you have encountered in Phase 2 and use shadow boxing to enhance and sharpen these skills. You'll get insights here that are simply not available elsewhere. Enjoy moving around effortlessly with slick footwork and subtle body movements, all the time firing salvos of perfect shots. This shadow boxing session will allow you to understand why boxers love to shadow box.

Phase 4 – The Heavy Bag
Phase 4 is when we start really showing off by using the heavy bag. You may notice that I chose the word 'using' and not 'hitting'. There's a lot more to a heavy bag than just hitting it, and you'll appreciate this after working through Phase 4. Again, the skills from Phase 2 are re-emphasized and this really does help with the speed and quality of your development. You'll be working the heavy bag like a pro in no time at all!

Phase 5 – Jumping Rope
Phase 5 is a complete tutorial to enable you to learn to jump rope like a demon in double-quick time. And bear in mind, some estimates are that you can burn as many calories in 10 minutes of jumping rope as you can in a 45 minute run. It's also an excellent way to improve your upper and lower body co-ordination, vital in boxing. In short, jumping rope is an amazing tool for your boxing fitness bag, and after watching this tutorial you'll have the whirring of the rope mastered sooner than you think.

Phase 6 – Strength Training
Phase 6 is your introduction to boxing strength training. I'll demonstrate how to use the boxer's 'Ton-Up' - 10 exercises that will build the core strength that will enable a continual increase in your power-to-weight ratio. An added bonus is a toned and powerful physique…that will do no harm I'm sure! The Ton Up is another element of the Boxing Training Foundation that can be adapted in many, many ways, and I'll describe exactly how!

Phase 7 – The Warm Down
It's time for the warm down and flexibility work out. I demonstrate a range of boxing-specific stretching exercises that improve your muscle flexibility, range of movement and your resistance to injury. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of flexibility as a fighter. A flexible fighter is much more likely to hit hard, and undertaking a structured flexibility workout will pave the way. It's a wonderful way to complete our session.


What existing BTF owners have to say...


"I am extremely grateful to have found this site because, in my opinion, the BTF is the absolute best thing going, for practical and professional instruction in a very clear and easy to understand format. It truly is an incredible bargain and I'd like to thank Fran and wish him as much success as possible, because his Boxing Training Foundation will definitely help create successful fighters and I plan to be one of them!"
Paul, Toronto

"Hi Fran. Just to give you an update - I took my first boxing class last night and BVI now has its own official boxing club (that I set up). The class was inspired and based upon the Boxing Foundation. Thank you so much!! I had 18 people attend and I did a decent warm up, conditioning and then I taught them stance, jabs, crosses and hooks. Once again, thank you for giving us this opportunity! I will be singing your praises to whoever I can and will be promoting your online course."
James Carr, British Virgin Islands

"I must admit you can get lost amongst the today's boxing resources that are available via the Internet. I have been involved in boxing in some shape or form for 20 plus years and I have to say Fran Sands is the man when it comes to breaking down the sweet science. His tutorials are put together in layman's terms. I know we have advice from the great coaches like Freddy Roach available to view online, and also the fantastic Naazim Richardson. But we also have Fran Sands who in my eyes is up there with the great trainers of our lovely sport. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK FRAN!"
Glyn, Cheshire

"I've just started boxing (aged 50) mainly for the fitness but hitting the heavy bag is a great stress reliever too, I'm really enjoying it. I've done various martial arts before and come across some excellent fitness websites – Matt Furey springs to mind, but your course is the best I've ever seen. You could charge literally 10 times for the videos alone. I've made real progress since I've been doing the basics and I'm really impressed, I would recommend the website to anyone. Well done mate, excellent work."
Chris, London

"I went with the Boxing Training Foundation to establish a new workout routine. I felt boxing fitness was far and above the best way to go. I have reviewed numerous books, online instruction, etc., and came to the obvious conclusion yours had no peer. It is people of your caliber that will eventually attract those to the profession so that it takes its rightful place in the sporting world. Keep up the good fight."
Tommy, UK

“Fran, love your site — I have scoured the internet for boxing skills training and your site is the most comprehensive and technical out there. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.’
James
“Outstanding tutorials! I’ve been studying boxing and kickboxing for 2 years, and I’ve supplemented my training with youtube videos. These tutorials and techniques are by far the best I’ve found. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.’
Greg
“Just wanted to say your website is awesome, I have learned so much reading your articles and watching the demonstrations. I have bought the series from John Brown and some from Freddie Roach and I find yours a lot better than both of them.”
Fredog, St. Louis, Missouri
“Hi Fran, I just wanted to say thanks for all the info in this site. It is really helpful and educational. As a novice boxer these video’s and articles have been an amazing resource for me and helped me fix/improve a lot of my techniques.”
Eric
“I really appreciate the depth of knowledge you provide, especially based upon example. I have studied Japanese Martial Arts(Isshin-Ryu, and Shorin-Ryu Karate) for a number of years. I used to watch boxing when I was in the military and was always fascinated by the techniques used during a contest. Your site definitely gives me a solid foundation to start my boxing training. Thank you for your time and effort.”
Clayton
“Fran, Absolutely fantastic site. I’m 47 yoa. I started boxing training about 5 years ago, unfortunately, I had to stop after about a year due to moving out of the area and work duties. I started up again about a month ago, but don’t have a trainer anymore so have to go on memory. I found my execution of punches had deterioated badly, as my right wrist started to hurt. I slowed down and realized i was not hitting correctly anymore. I researched numerous sites, books, and DVD’s; and have to say your site is extremely comprehensive, informative, and very well written. Again, thanks for your time and dedication to the sport.”
Joe
