Boxing Training Video Critique

admin — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 03:36:56 -0400

I encourage everyone to upload videos to their blog for the rest of the members of How to Box to critique. It is very easy to develop bad habits without a trainer watching your every move. Unfortunately for most of us, boxing trainers and boxing gyms are not available or we simply do not have the means to attend them. As such, many of you have resorted to How to Box for your boxing fix.

Well, now I've made it possible for you to easily upload videos of your training and your fights to your blog so myself and others with some knowledge of boxing can take a look at what you are doing and offer some feedback and advice. Do not be ashamed of your videos or feel that you are such a beginner that everyone will simply laugh at you. The best way to learn is to make mistakes and if you have a thick enough skin, the collective wisdom here on the site might be able to show you where you are going wrong and help you improve.

As an added bonus, you may even make some money when you upload your videos if you use Revver. Each video is tagged and an ad is shown at the end of it. If someone watching it clicks on the ad, you earn a portion (50%) of what the advertiser paid to put it there. The other 50% goes to the people actually hosting the video - Revver.com.

New: Now support Youtube as well...

So, what are you waiting for. It's a win-win-win situation and here are the simple instructions for doing it.

How to Upload Your Videos

1. Go to Revver.com sign up and download the upload utility for your computer. (Don't worry it's free, spyware/virus free). They have a tutorial on the site to help you upload your videos if this is too brief for you. (You can also use Youtube if you want, but you won't get paid for your videos...)

2. Double click on the upload utility and upload your videos to Revver. The process is pretty straight forward. There is a bit of a delay from when you upload until they are available for you to post to your blog. (20 minutes to 48 hours, it depends). The size limit for files is 100MB, and they take pretty much any format. There is currently no limit on the number of videos you can upload.

3. When they show up in your account, come back to How to Box and click "Create Content" in the navigation menu.

4. Click "Video" from the list of options that come up.

5. Fill in a teaser, title and description.

6. Here's the important part: Under the title Video Number, you need to find the number of the video from Revver.com or Youtube that you want to show up here and then simply type it in. The easiest way to get the number is to go to your video at Revver or Youtube and then look just underneath the video where it says "VIDEO URL". The first number reading from left to right is the number you need.

For example: If the Revver VIDEO URL is "http://revver.com/video/33330", then the video number is 33330.

Another example: VIDEO URL is "http://revver.com/video/34567/12345", then the video number is 34567.

At Youtube: video number is the number after v= in the permalink url.

7. That's it, your video will show up on How to Box ready for everyone to critique. You can see if anyone has at any time by going to your account and clicking the Track tab at the top next to edit. That tab keeps track of everything you do on the site and lets you know when things are updated.

I look forward to seeing your fights and your training progress. Upload away. As always, if you're having problems, just leave a comment and ask your question.
