I am a complete beginner, with no previous boxing experience and little knowledge of the techniques, logical strategy etc. But I really want training and learning about the sport.|||You can visit the site below for some great beginner information. but here are some basics.
In training:
- stay calm, punch lighter on the bag so you can last more rounds and keep your form together and punches sharp. don%26#039;t waste energy showing off on the bag - nobody cares
- don%26#039;t workout till fatigue, get close, and just push yourself a little more each day. going till failure everyday of the week without a clear reward means you%26#039;ll overtrain and probably quit boxing soon
- drink gallons and gallons of water
- make friends in the gym and talk to them about what you%26#039;re doing wrong and ask them how they learned to read you so well.
In punching:
- turn your whole body into the punch, and if your feet are slow (most people have slow feet) you will find that punching slower actually hits harder than punching faster. So in other words, punch as fast as you can without diminishing your power. This ensures that you use your whole body instead of just arms to punch
- Throw short hooks, short uppercuts, and short rights...but throw long jabs
- You don%26#039;t always have to throw one knockout punch after another. Combo light and hard punches and use head movement to fake out your opponent
- Never forget to go to the body
- Throw 3-5 punch combos maximum. You don%26#039;t need 10-punch combos. Don%26#039;t even practice these for now.
- Breathe out when you punch and always look at your target when you punch. Don%26#039;t hold your breath
In defense:
- stay calm and never stop breathing. if you get into panic mode, ask the other guy to slow down so your mind and body can catch up
- hands high, elbows low, move that head
- you don%26#039;t need to waste energy running around the ring, just take one step and pivot out if your opponent is overly aggressive
- don%26#039;t lean back and don%26#039;t take your eyes off your opponent when you%26#039;re taking punches (this is especially hard for most beginners)
- don%26#039;t always wait for your opponent to finish punching before you start punching back. interrupt his combos and hit him!|||There is only one consideration: your safety.
Make certain you get involved with a gym that puts safety first. Some places will throw you to the wolves, so to speak, and you will find yourself sparring before you are ready, and possibly being over-matched.
A quality gym will start off with the most important part of boxing: conditioning.
You will also, gradually, be given skills in boxing.
Later, only once you are getting into shape and have some technique, they will move from focus mitts to working you in the ring with some controlled sparring, depending on the gym objectives.
Boxing is partly about learning to take punches, but a good gym will not put you in a bad situation.
You need to be clear about your own objectives. If you just want to learn the sport, enroll in a program without any sparring at all. Just get into shape, learn skills, and have a lot of fun.
If you want to box in amateur competition, of course then you will be sparring.
But be aware: even with headgear on, sparring is dangerous because you are getting hit in the head. You must be comfortable with that risk. Do some research on boxing and pituitary and brain damage, just so you are getting the real picture from medical professionals rather than the spin from people in the game. Everyone who boxes ends up with some degree of brain damage.
If the professional world is your objective, then strive for a very successful amateur career first. Your chances of being a good pro are much better if you have solid amateur experience.
Whatever you decide to pursue, find the right club. The quality of the coach and trainer is the key. Go and observe and talk before you enroll. If you find a great coach, you will have a blast.
The wonderful thing about boxing is that you can learn the basics very quickly. In fact, you can learn boxing more quickly than any martial art. That is very satisfying. With the right coaching, even before do any contact sparring, you will be enjoying whacking away at the bags, working the focus mitts, and getting into great shape as you develop your skill set.
Try not to get sucked into the tough guy attitude that you might find in some gyms. Remember that boxing is just a sport. Leave the fight mentality to the professionals, and do not envy them their fame. They pay a price for that.
Have fun, be safe.
Good luck!|||to start, u should get a boxing bag and hang it in your basement. start punching it. jab, jab, right hook. head, head, stomach. u should push the bag around also to make believe u are pushing a person. also practice protecting your body. when u jab with one hand. have the other in front of your face to block.|||Keep your mouth closed and breathe through your nose and keep your hands up. Those two things will help greatly to reduce the chances of getting knocked out. You should also get some 16 oz. gloves and shadow box every day for at least 10 minutes (2 min rounds). Good luck.|||Maybe get a Wii, buy the wii sports collection and start training on it. Or.....
