I did some boxing and tryed karatea class the style of punches are diffrent in karatea your phist is behind your weist then rotate when you strike a target.There are moves in karatea that are lethal like karatea chops if striked in the neck,but which punches could cause more damege the ones in boxing and kickboxing or the ones used in karatea and other martial arts.|||I%26#039;ve never heard so many bad answers. Karate punches are for %26#039;breaking the skin%26#039; ????? boxers not being taught how to punch correctly etc.???
Firstly boxing punches also rotate the fist. Especially the jab.
So it%26#039;s possible there is no difference between what you are seeing.
Of the full contact karate styles kyokshin and kensryu etc. the guys who out their mind to doing a lot of full contact sparring from those sports end up punching like boxers as far as I am concerned anyway.
Guys there is one sport worth 50 million a year to the champion.
In other words anyone who thinks they are worth can take a shot at that money.
And everyone does.
And at the end of the day, the heavyweight boxing champ does boxing, punching the same way 30 million other boxers do,the same way the UFC guys learn to punch, the same way the bareknuckle boxers did in the 1700%26#039;s and 1800%26#039;s, the same way the german, french and english medieval night was taught to punch, the same way the roman gladiator was taught to punch, the same way the greeks , arabs and egyptians punched.
Anything else is mass marketed BS by martial arts companies trying to make money out of modern day suckers.
I%26#039;m sorry. When even the asian armies dumped their own fighting styles, and bushido codes and self defence techniques in favour of The western military system and rank system, that is a pretty strong endorsement to me.|||Ok the reason for the diference is gloves (there are also many technical difference) ... The surface area with a punch without gloves is two knuckles... with a glove the impact is spread out making a %26quot;fight ending punch%26quot; more difficult (but not imposible), thus the need to keep your other hand high to defend against retaliation... The gloves also serve as a small %26quot;sheild%26quot; to help absorb impact... when wearing gloves the fight is generally in close quarters and trading punches is enevitable and if you don%26#039;t keep your guard up you will have a much greater chance of being knocked out..... now the full body rotation you are describing in karate where the off hand comes to your belt... (IMO) Is to get you to learn maximum power while keeping maximum balance, but in a serious fight, I do not suggest you take either hand and turn it upside down and hold it at your belt (but for board breaking and demonstration yes)... But the practice of properly executing a MA punch will give you one hell of a right cross (my two cents)|||WTF? The jab isn%26#039;t even a punch? See this is the reason why people shouldn%26#039;t take Martial Arts when they don%26#039;t even know how to fight.
That is why most MMA guys are so slow with their punches and rely on brute strength, rather than technique to knock people out.
Anyway, the jab is only used to take the other fighter out of his rhythm and to set him up with a right cross!
The right cross is basically the same as the Karate/Taekwondo punch, except for the snap back.|||Before I tell you my views on which punch is better, i have to say that boxers usualy are not taught how to punch properly, you probably herd about Mike breaking his hand in a street fight, wel its because boxers always wrap their hands and use gloves, they usually dont learn to punch properly without the gloves so even though they punch the guy out in a street fight they can end up with a broken hand
Now about the karate way of punching, im not sure how much better it is, I have the Bas Rutten DVD at home and on it he says that its better to punch straight without rotating the fist as rotating it will only telegraph to your opponent what you are doing
As for pulling the hand back to the weist, well i think there is a time to do it and there is a time to keep your hands up. I do kyokushin karate and our training is very different from other styles but we still pull the fist back when doing a straight punch, we do it to teach our body power and body action, when you pull your fist back not only does it give your next attack more distance to travel but it also gives you better rotation
Its hard to say what is better, with karate you get more power and the ultimate goal for karate is to have one knockout punch, while boxing style where you keep your hands up you can protect yourself more, although in the street you dont have big gloves to protect yourself with so you will still need to change a little
I think boxers will know better since that is what they do, and its probably better not to pull your hand to the waist all the time, but in training i think its important to learn to have that power since in a real fight with adrenalin pumpoing your movenments will become short so its good to exadurate things during training|||Only with a bare fist is the corkscrew-style punch useful but the tate tsuki (vertical punch) is effective at close range as well as full extension. At the moment of impact with the corkscrew style punch there is hundreds of pounds of pressure and a quick, strong rotation of the fist can cause more bruising, pain, and thus blood loss into the skin and even more pain if the same spot is stuck again.|||ok, both are effective. But the purpose of the karate style punch is to break the skin upon impact. That is why the hand turns at last minute of the strike. It is hard for me to say which is more effective. Boxing is fast jabs while karate is both fast and meant to break the skin. But know this, very rarely does the breaking of the skin actually happen. But it does hurt like the dickens.|||Dear lord this is a train wreak of a thread I dont blame six for his response..
First to answer the original question.. The hand rotates for the purpose of BONE ALINEMENT and to tighten the connective tissues in the wrist. Hold your forearm close to the elbow where you can feel your bones.. radius and ulna I think, and twist your arm.. they twist over top each other. Now you could achive those things in other manners but they tend to take away from either speed or power of the strike in many cases.
Both the jab and what you are calling the %26quot;katatea%26quot; punch rotate. The jab is typically of your front hand and the other is off of your rear hand. So the rear hand has more travel time and will be more visible ( this is different from when to use a vertical punch and when to use a horizontal )
Its just in boxing you dont have to guard from kicks and its illegal to use traps. So keeping both hands up is the best defense and you would never have your back fist comming from a low angle point of origin..
In martial arts its a common pratice for some styles to keep your front hand up and your rear hand down, it allows the rear hand to pick up the low shots while both arms form an %26quot;open ended V%26quot; that can be used to trap limbs / weapons
Boxers know how to punch, thats what they do, they are a prime example of good upper body mechanics for puches. I love to watch a good boxer uppercut in slow motion.. It starts in the big toe / foot and travels up.. the elbow is over the knee, they are rotating and lifting and even the breath is in sync.. if you want to learn how to puch watch that over and over... Now they do have to limit themselves to certain motions as they are in a sport setting but for anyone to think a boxer is never taught the body mechanics of punching is sadly ignorant of what good body mechanics are.|||Both punches should twist . I took martial arts when I was young and boxed for 9 years! Before you jab your thumb is up at end of jab your thumb is towards the center of your body! The same both effective! Would have to go with advantage to the boxer since it is punching is the focus of offense in the art! It is an art!|||I think that they are both effective in their own ways, My personal feeling is that you should tailor the weapon choice to the situaiton. There is distance, target, angle of attack, and other factors when deciding which weapon choice to make. In my art, American Kenpo, we use both as well as a thrid option as a lead strike, a backfist., where the arm extends and unfolds at the elbow to take a horizontal path inward (or outward) to it%26#039;s target instead of a straight in strike like a jab.|||Here%26#039;s a picture of the jab in boxing. Verticle fist.
http://coxscorner.tripod.com/Images/demp...
Here%26#039;s a picture of the punch used most commonly in karate, Japanese and Okinawan,
http://www.karatevid.com/pics/EBV1StepPu...
Here%26#039;s a picture of Isshinryu%26#039;s punch.
http://www.isshinryu.de/images/lehrer/Sh...
Notice the boxing and Isshinryu Karate punch are both verticle. Master Shimabuku seemed to believe the verticle punch was %26quot;older%26quot; in karate than the twist punch. Boxing has a twist punch too, the straight punch. Also, southern Kung Fu, from which Karate (Isshinryu and Shotokan etc) come from, has both twist and verticle punches.
So, what am I suggesting? Twisting, or not twisting a punch, verticle or not, it contained in both systems, western boxing and karate.

How old does one have to be to begin training for boxing?
My son really wants to begin training for boxing, but is only 8 years-old. Is this too young? Also, does anyone know how much this costs?|||any age really , i started at 18 iknow that the most you should be willing to pay is between 40-60 bucks per month, 8 yrs old is not too yound all thats says is by the time he reaches 14 he`d probably be ready to compete in the jr olympics with continual hard work, 17 or 18 the world championships and the olympics if thats were he wants to go|||wel i do kickboxing and ur son is 8 and i no people hoo started at 4 and it would probaly cost like 80 bucks a month and make sure ur kid is tough :)|||there is no set age for how old one must be to learn how to box. when learning anything starting at a young age is an advantage. 8 years old is a great time to start to learn. this certainly doesn%26#039;t mean h will fight at this age but starting to learn young is the best way to learn b/c when he gets older he will have an advantage over others who did not start young. as for how much it costs that depends on the gym you send him to. the one I belong to is $150 for 3 months. other gyms will have their own rates. for a good boxing gym go to amateurboxing.com and tell Melanie Ley about your son and how old he is, she will be able to find you a good gym with a price you can afford.|||any age. and see how much it costs some are free some cost so just check with the manager. i am 11 boxing. and even is you had a 4 year old child he could box so yea

Wrestling is for 8 years old kids, not adults.|||Simple ....all wrestling is fixed.....but many of the few fixed fights over the past 50 + years have been the subject of Senate Investigations into this corruption......Can you imagine people actually watching boxing if all of the punches were rehearsed, pulled, slipped or blocked in order to let one fighter take a %26quot; dive %26quot; in a pre-arranged match ?|||Boxing is a legitimate sport, wrestling is a farce.

Has anyone in the boxing forum ever actually swayed your thinking?
I%26#039;m just curious as to how often an answerer in the boxing forum can sway other%26#039;s opinions. How often, and by whom? Are we just saying what we think, or are we having a free exchange of ideas resulting in changing attitudes?|||I can be swayed from time to time especially when talking about a fighter I don%26#039;t like. Just because I don%26#039;t like him doesn%26#039;t mean he isn%26#039;t a great fighter but sometimes I will dissmiss some skills because a fighter is arrogant or runs at the mouth too much. When a user will point things out or just wake me up to the obvious I%26#039;ll stand corrected. Of course there are many fighters who I have only seen once or twice and depending who they fought they may have been off their game or against a very weak opponent so other users will just be more knowledgeable and able to steer me in a better direction. Most of the questions are opinion and so I%26#039;ll give mine right or wrong. I am one of the few people who rank Muhammed Ali around 3-5 instead of #1 heavyweight of all time so there is always differences of opinion. Some I%26#039;ll budge on but some I won%26#039;t.|||Sometimes I didn%26#039;t actually see a fighter fight, I only see his record or heard about him, so I would assume other who actually see him fight have better answer.|||If someone gives an intellectual counter argument rather than emotional BS, than yes it can be and has some times.|||If anyone could it would be these guys. http://www.fightjunkie.com/predictions|||Sure, it happens from time to time.

I will always favor a slugger who stands and trades to a runner who flicks a jab and boxes, but I mellowed on that point as well after a pretty solid question got me to thinking about it.

How to keep energy levels up for boxing and wrestling?
At the moment I have three boxing classes a week and no fights till late september, and one wrestling practice a week. However Starting in october I will have eight wrestling practices a week, two or three weight lifting sessions, and four boxing classes. How can I keep up my energy levels so that I can always practice 100 hundred percent. I could also use help on how to keep injury%26#039;s down. All advice is greatly appreciated... thanks.|||Well there are many ways you can gain energy.
First, make sure you are sleeping enough. That%26#039;s energy 101. No sleep= no energy. An average adult needs somewhere between 6-8 hours of sleep a night. Any more and you%26#039;ll be tired, too little and you%26#039;ll also be tired. You can also try taking a small power nap during the day too. A power nap is 15-20 mins long no more.
Second, make sure you are eating well enough. You should be eating a balanced healthy diet. No twinkies or ding dongs. They don%26#039;t give you energy. Good healthy foods with the proper mix of carbs, protein and good fats. Fish is a great energy providing food and also if you get tired at work you can snack on nuts. Nuts are great energy foods and they have good fatty acids in them as well, much better than munching on a donut. Also drink plenty of water!
Third, you should be taking a multi vitamin. Make sure your multi vitamin has a good B complex mixed into it. If it doesn%26#039;t, you need to add that to your diet. Coq10 is also a great vitamin for energy levels.
Now working out will of course give you extra energy, but you are working out TONS, so you%26#039;ll need to remember to drink protein shakes energy day and make try adding an energy booster to your routine before you go workout. I know most of them taste like **** though and are loaded with caffeine. You could try drinking a healthy energy drink before you go workout. Not the ones that you find in the stores, or at least most of them. Those will just make you crash later on in the day because they are too high in caffeine and sugar. I use one that is low in sugar and caffeine and relies on vitamins and antioxidants to give boosts in energy. Its nice because I don%26#039;t crash later on in the day and of course it is way healthier for me. The one I used I found in a free trial, although I don%26#039;t know how long it lasts. I%26#039;ll link the site at the bottom, it also has some more info on increasing your energy levels if there was something I didn%26#039;t cover for you.

Take the top 8 fighters in any division and have them fight in a tournament style system until someone is declared the number 1 contender, then that person gets a shot at the title. Have the first eight contenders paired up in 4 bouts, each one set for 10 rounds. The winners of that (which would be 4 fighters) are paired up in 2 bouts, each one set for 12 rounds and the winners of that (2 fighters) fight in one last bout for the number one contender spot scheduled for 12 rounds. The winner of all that then gets a shot and the title. It%26#039;s probably the most fair way to manage it and prevents people from ducking someone - you just fight who%26#039;s up next. Plus, it adds a little bit of excitement to matchmaking - you don%26#039;t know who is going to be fighting who until you have all the results in from each level of the tournament which would also add alot of excitement to the betting situations.

If you have 8 big fights to bet on in a tournament, plus the title fight in every weight division - you%26#039;re suddenly going to generate a great deal more gambling revenue than we currently have with the one or two big fights per weight division per year. If the big boys who put these matches together realize the revenue to be generated by having a tournament style system, we%26#039;ll have it tomorrow.

Best to wear light, loose clothing such as joggers and a tee.|||Yes. If you are taking a boxing lesson with a class, you will be participating. You will need gloves, hand wraps, and a mouth piece. I think you will be learning different techniques and will be doing drills with the rest of the class. You have to wear a t-shirt or a muscle-t and shorts. You will might be doing shadow boxing too. And if you have a good coach, prepare for conditioning. A lot of it. You%26#039;ll thank him if he does it when you%26#039;re in the ring sparring later. And don%26#039;t worry. The coach will teach you proper stance and where to keep your hands ETC..|||They will most likely work you into their daily routine, include you in the drills and workout and then if and when it comes time for sparring maybe will work with you on basics and the focus mitts. Make sure you eat a good healthy meal prior and drink lots of fluids. We have seen many newbies come into class with out eating or drinking and have them throw up and pass out and get dehydrated. It really depends gym to gym but they will take it easy on you for sure, if they dont it might be the wrong gym.|||More than likely they will just run you through a series of what is what and have you get a feel for everything. Maybe do some cardio and throw a few punches in your gloves.|||You will do work outs. Learn how to stand properly with balance, and learn to always defend yourself by never letting your hands go down to the side of your body.|||Notthing much sore hands and feets , your body will be in a lot of pain after one day but , that will fade away if you continue to work out :)|||Your going to have to do a lot of exercises!|||Push ups....alot of them hahaha

How long does it take to learn basics of Boxing?
How long does it take on average to learn the basics of Boxing? To be good enough to be able to defend yourself and do fairly well.|||You can learn boxing faster than any martial art, because it has so few moves.
However, to be really good (like anything) takes years.
Still, it has frequently been postulated that a boxer with 6 months training is more effective than many martial artists with far more training. (Again, a few moves are easier to master.)
As far as self defence goes, take a self defence course. The main objective is to avoid trouble before it starts.
For fighting skills hand to hand, boxing and wrestling is a pretty complete combination, and quick to learn.
Jiujitsu and tai boxing is more complete combination, but takes much longer to learn, Thus, it may actually be less effective if you are not a fanatic.
If you want one martial art that is effective in combination with a self defence course, I would suggest wrestling or Judo, as it can be used to control without necessarily harming your opponent (as long as you avoid chokes).
Boxing is effective, but you could hurt your opponent and be open to litigation.|||It greatly depends on what you mean by learning the basics. It will vary based on the individual.
In terms of punches you%26#039;ll learn and the stance and the movements, I could spend a while listing them all here, the same ones the beginners do are the same ones world champions do. World champions are simply more proficient at it.
I say it should take the average dedicated individual a few months to grasp the basics well enough to perform moderately well in a sparring situation if they have the proper guidance. That doesn%26#039;t mean that person is ready for even amateur competition however. Just enough that at that point they can understand the goals of training and have realized the results of sticking to it.|||a good way to get better a defending urself is invited mates ova gett 2 pairs of gloves headgear(rebel will have these)
and just fight not all out do nice easy to start wit and soon u will get use to whrer punches are guna be thrown and once got ur hand and eye corodination together it should come too without even think when to block|||That completely depends on the person. Some people pick it up right away, others need to work really hard at it. Either way, you should be able to decently defend yourself in six months to a year if you are really committed.|||I am almost 50, and have been %26quot;learning the basics%26quot; for about 45 years and still haven%26#039;t figured out the answer to your question. I don%26#039;t think the process is ever complete.

What is the best way to prepare for a boxing match?

If your arms a tired - that happens to us all. When we start off, its easier to condition our legs than our arms. Just make sure when your on the bags, your not taking it easy and that your working real hard.

If it%26#039;s months, you%26#039;ve got the opportunity to make some changes to your training and your diet. If you%26#039;ve only got weeks, DON%26#039;T CHANGE ANYTHING. Drastic changes that come too close to the fight will hinder you. If you%26#039;ve been eating a sensible diet and working with a sensible workout/training plan, you%26#039;re doing all you can.
Definitely don%26#039;t do anything your coach doesn%26#039;t tell you to (or especially don%26#039;t do things he tells you not to). If you have questions, as a previous poster mentioned, ask him.

How does salary work in boxing?
For instance, can a average boxer make a good living off the sport if hes not fighting the champs and just move along fighting other average boxers? Wouldnt he eventually fall off the boxing map and stop getting paid if he wasnt fighting anyone ranked? Or can someone not really spectacular just do pro boxing as a regular job and still make ends meet. Somewhat like a blue collar boxer or something.
Does the money only come from sponsors and winning fights?|||The money comes from what the promoters will pay you based on how marketable your name is. If you don%26#039;t have a name you don%26#039;t make enough to live off of. You will have to find a day job until you are a contender.|||They get payed to fight as well, and sometimes payed by the round|||nah, i dont think so.
you%26#039;ll be better of going to college and getting a decent job rather than getting cracks in the face.
if u love the sport of boxing you should just do it for the hobby not for the money cause only a few win title belts and become millionaires while others waste their life trying to obtain the %26quot;impossible%26quot;

Where would someone start a career for Bare-knuckle boxing?
Actors go to talent agents, models have agents, what agency or place would one go to to start a career in bare-knuckle boxing, like Kimbo Slice? I am in Michigan.
Thanks|||A real boxing club would be the best bet.
Since they will teach you to fistfight ten times better than bare knuckle guys.
For example Kimbo from his videos was a very poor fighter. arms held chicken wings, stomach exposed, no rotation on punches, no lead hand.he looked like a guy who tried boxing for a few months but was too lazy to stick at it.
He is only now just getting to a good amateur level of punching with all the training Bas rutten is giving him for MMA.
getting back to the subject go get real boxing lessons.
Then get your friends to record you punching out some street bums and tough guy wannabe%26#039;s.|||There%26#039;s no such thing as BARE-KNUCKLE anymore really. Even the UFC and ELITE XC make fighters wear 3 ounce gloves to protect your knuckles these days. The best option would be to start out in a Martial Arts setting where groundwork is needed. You can train boxing and striking skills to a point by yourself, but you need help and training partners to be able to perfect a ground game. If you saw the fight on tv this weekend with Kimbo then you KNOW the importance of learning how to fight on the ground. As you get more proficient you can take on different aspects of fighting, and move more toward the boxing as well. Striking is really fairly easy to learn compared to ground skills and wrestling. Most of the good ground guys have been wrestling since they were children.|||some of the gypsy sites I grew up on here in England will be an ideal training ground,starting from aged 10!Tough game though!Henry Wharton,former European champ and world title fighter,John H Stracy former world champ who beat Jose Napoles, all started as bare knucklers as gypsy%26#039;s,so dont get the impression bare knuckle fighters dont have boxing skills,but your question was regarding bareknuckle scrapping,was it not?|||well he was more of a street fighter i%26#039;ve heard of some more organized bkb but not sure about michigan man|||in brazil

What is more damaging mentally, mixed martial arts or boxing?
I am going to start boxing training through a friend, but I really want to do MMA. Which is worse for the brain?|||ANYONE WHO SAYS MMA IS CAUSES MORE BRAIN TRAUMA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO IT A LITTLE MORE DEEPLY PLEASE.
MMA allows for you to grab and hold your opponent in order to protect your head.
MANY MANY MMA fights have been won without any hits to the head, and won on grappling alone etc.
Boxing is an accumulation of blows to the head round after round after round!
A boxer can get punched in the head well over 100 times in just a single match!!!
No MMA fighter has EVER had as many punches landed to the head like that, and usually any clean blows to the head in an MMA match will lead to a speedy victory.
Boxers are forced to LET GO from a clinch and made to hit eachother and stand on their feet. After a boxer is knocked down, the boxer still has the option to stand up and endure more punishment.
Most of the time, MMA fighters who get knocked to the floor end up getting punched only about 2-5 more times before the match abruptly comes to a halt, or the defending fighter is allowed to hold his opponent%26#039;s arms in order to try and stop the blows.
BOXING IS ENTIRELY MORE DANGEROUS THAN MMA when it comes to brain trauma.
there are only about 3 rounds in any MMA bout as opposed to the 12 round of punishment that boxers must endure.
I have Trained in boxing and MMA, and believe me, my bell has been rung by boxing about 5 times more than any time i trained for MMA.|||I do%26#039;nt deserve 2 points for this Joe Mamma is right on the money.... I would add to it.. in boxing you get hurt severly... the ref stops ... counts to ten... are you ok... can you lift your hands... ok... go get caught with another good clean shot again, before your brain has fully recovered... and in the sport of boxing.. they call that %26quot;heart%26quot;... I am a HUGE boxing fan... but if you have watched both sports... you will see many fights where a boxer takes clean shot after clean shot... the ref lets it continue, as long as they guy can stand... In MMA when a guy takes one clean shot the fight ends within 10 second at least 75% of the time...|||I have to agree with Joe Mama although I think that may or could change with time. There have been a number of medical studies done on boxing and its effects by notable doctors and medical organizations that speak out against boxing and its effects on the brain. My wife did medical research in this area for a number of years and it was always interesting conversation at dinner parties and social functions since they knew of my background in martial arts and fighting.
MMA being a newer sport and no pads on the elbows and forearms or knees and the blows to the head I think will in the long run show that a severe blow even if it is only one can cause some damage. I think also something that you have to keep in mind is that you don%26#039;t always see the amount of blows and severity of them that a fighter receives in training or sparring. I think it is only a matter of time before the medical community will do some studies and come out against it much like they have boxing because of the severity of some of the blows being landed with unpadded portions of the body like knees, elbows. and forearms.|||Boxing, why? In MMA once you get knocked out the fight is over, not mentioning the submissions which are quite common and save your head, but if you got kncked out one time your brain should me more or less intact
The damage starts to happon when a person gets KOed and then gets back up to fight then gets KOed again, then gets back up.... and you get the idea|||Worse for the brain how?
if you mean damage from punches i would say MMA since the rules are alot different. I mean boxing you cant take a knee to the head.|||mma its kicking and punching and crazy|||HAhA if you want to deal serious mental damage to your friend then mixed martial arts, you can karate chop his neck and break it easily. Or break his nose and then his arm. Then again, you should probably start off with boxing, since it will teach you the basics of punching. Whichever you want, although MMA is more dangerous and you need better control.|||Knees and kicks to the head hurt alot.
in boxing your oppoent only has 2 weapons,
in MMA your oppoenent has 9 weapons. 2 feet, 2 knees, 2 elbows, 2 hands, and one head.
thats 9X more chances to get hit in the head. u do the math.|||mma....|||Specific brain injury, definitely boxing. However, do the boxing training, and incorporate what you learn into MMA events rather than becoming a Pro-Boxer. Do some ameature bouts, certainly, as these will help prepare you.
The reason being, in boxing, you%26#039;re KOed many times in a bout. Each KO is a concussion. So, after the normal boxing Concussion, you%26#039;re given 10 seconds to gather yourself so you can get another Concussion. You may have 10 or 20 Concussions in a single bout!
In MMA when you get that first Concussion, your opponent jumps on you and submitts you.
1 Concussion per bout, vs 10 Concussions per bout....
Sometimes you%26#039;re choked out, or loose by an arm bar, and don%26#039;t get a Concussion at all.
The human brain can handle a few concussions throughout your life, but it can%26#039;t handle the hundreds of them you%26#039;ll have in a Professional boxing career without some Brain injury.|||Boxing. Definitely. Its head, head, head, body, head shot one after another. At least in MMA if you don%26#039;t like getting kicked and punched at you can take it into the ground to nullify most striking. In boxing the ref even keeps the two fighters from each other so as to create more %26quot;action%26quot;, thus means more room to wind up and far more strikes then in MMA.
Alot of times people here don%26#039;t have too much experience with martial arts and are just here because they%26#039;ve seen a few UFC matches and think its cool. That said, whenever a thread comes up asking the posters to pick between a selection of choices, those %26quot;backseat martial artists%26quot; will pick anything that has 2-3 letters. Namely %26quot;MMA, BJJ, and MT%26quot; without even giving it consideration.
Its almost a psychy of hearing MMA and then bowing down to those 3 letters.

in MMA your oppoenent has 9 weapons. 2 feet, 2 knees, 2 elbows, 2 hands, and one head.
thats 9X more chances to get hit in the head. u do the math.|||mma....|||Specific brain injury, definitely boxing. However, do the boxing training, and incorporate what you learn into MMA events rather than becoming a Pro-Boxer. Do some ameature bouts, certainly, as these will help prepare you.
The reason being, in boxing, you%26#039;re KOed many times in a bout. Each KO is a concussion. So, after the normal boxing Concussion, you%26#039;re given 10 seconds to gather yourself so you can get another Concussion. You may have 10 or 20 Concussions in a single bout!
In MMA when you get that first Concussion, your opponent jumps on you and submitts you.
1 Concussion per bout, vs 10 Concussions per bout....
Sometimes you%26#039;re choked out, or loose by an arm bar, and don%26#039;t get a Concussion at all.
The human brain can handle a few concussions throughout your life, but it can%26#039;t handle the hundreds of them you%26#039;ll have in a Professional boxing career without some Brain injury.|||Boxing. Definitely. Its head, head, head, body, head shot one after another. At least in MMA if you don%26#039;t like getting kicked and punched at you can take it into the ground to nullify most striking. In boxing the ref even keeps the two fighters from each other so as to create more %26quot;action%26quot;, thus means more room to wind up and far more strikes then in MMA.
Alot of times people here don%26#039;t have too much experience with martial arts and are just here because they%26#039;ve seen a few UFC matches and think its cool. That said, whenever a thread comes up asking the posters to pick between a selection of choices, those %26quot;backseat martial artists%26quot; will pick anything that has 2-3 letters. Namely %26quot;MMA, BJJ, and MT%26quot; without even giving it consideration.
Its almost a psychy of hearing MMA and then bowing down to those 3 letters.
What do i have to do to be a boxing gym manager?
I want to become a boxing gym manager but i don%26#039;t know where to begin, because that job is fairly strange for me. Where do i have to study?|||First of all, you need knowledge of the sport of boxing. Have you ever boxed? Then i you want to coach you need a qualification, then if you want to manage a gym, have a look around your local gyms and maybe train there for a while to get a feel of the place, then when you have gained a trainers qualification, ask the boss if they need any extra help training people. Then just progress from there.
But to be a boss of a boxing gym will take years to get into, you need knowledge of the national boxing governing body and what rules they have that you need to comply with, you will need business experience/knowledge and you will need knowledge of the sport of boxing otherwise what use are you to the fighters and coaching staff if you dont know what you are talking about?|||be a coach first there is a book called coaching olympic style boxing by I.L. cooper start there good luck

I am surprised that americans pride themselves about being christians but love boxing very much!|||No it shouldnt be banned. It is probably much more likely for someone to die in nascar racing than in boxing. The last fighter I remember dying was Duk Ko Kim a korean fighter who died after his fight with Ray Boom Boom Mancini. I am not sure what year, but it was the early 80%26#039;s.

The answers will depend on who you ask.
On the %26quot;let it be%26quot; side you may find amateur and professional boxers, fight promoters, MMA fighters, and the entertainment-loving public. (I say %26quot;may%26quot; because some inside the sport are proponents of better safety and higher moral standards in pugilism.)
On the %26quot;ban it%26quot; side you may find pacifists, priests, neurosurgeons, and doctors. (I say %26quot;may%26quot; because some of these people box, believe it or not).
Now me, I belong to the first group, speech slurring, knuckles dragging on the pavement, hitting a heavy bag with a crooked tooth.
I believe that boxing is a great sport, wonderful exercise, and very exciting to watch.
However, I do concede that it is also a very violent and brutal sport.
And, the danger issue is very hard for boxers to face, as you can see from the comments so far. Boxers and those in the business are simply to close too the sport to make very rational observations.
That is understandable. The business of boxing needs to sell tickets, and anything that takes away from the entertainment spectacle can lose fans very quickly. Moreover, boxers are used to the sport as it is. They have worked incredibly hard to develop the skills and heart needed to survive in professional or amateur boxing. Therefore, any kind of of change would be extremely difficult for those already practicing the sport.
They might rethink how much the sport has already changed over the years.
Boxers are aware of the risks. Anyone who boxes should know these well. It is widely documented that both the pituitary gland and the brain pay a heavy price. Young athletes rationalize the risks as they have not yet experienced any apparent consequences. The blithe journey down this path may can end suddenly when if there is a realization of some degree of disability. Then society must share this burden, as the medical and social costs must be borne that inevitably accompany an aging fighter. Mohammad Ali%26#039;s pugilistic Parkinson%26#039;s syndrome is a textbook case for anyone in denial about boxing%26#039;s cumulative effect on the brain. If that is not enough, then a study of the %26quot;G-man%26quot; Gerald McClellan will reveal the possibility of very acute effects.
There is really no debating these realities, and indeed, candid conversations on these topics are common in the boxing business, including your question of the morality of %26quot;legalized assault%26quot;, which is one definition of boxing.
Boxers know they are in a very tough sport. They can, they do, indeed they must rationalize the risks. Ring doctors face the oxymoron, their love of the sport and the same time the desire and obligation to protect the fighters....a %26quot;do do harm%26quot; proponent attending a harm sport.
The morality issue seems easier to deal with than the risk issue. In many cases boxers know their opponents, and may even be close friends. Despite the bravado to sell tickets, the majority of boxers are not violent despots outside the ring. There is a kind of fraternity among boxers that allows them to battle as sportsmen and then leave all behind in the %26quot;squared circle%26quot; of competition.
Marciano reportedly cried after beating his hero Lewis. Even Tyson, who has a less than gentlemanly reputation, often spoke with respect about his targets after the shots were thrown. Holyfield, a very vocal Christian, is somehow able, as are many others, to reconcile his violent sport with a religious perspective.
Boxers face the violence with a disarming calm. Boxing is their world, and they have learned to live there without any malice. Most are fine sportsmen.
Having said all that, as medical knowledge advances and the dangers to athletes becomes clearer, our society will continue to question both the risk/rewards of boxing and the morality of beating each other senseless. And, there is nothing wrong with considering these questions and recognizing the merits of arguments on both sides.
In the very long term, safety concerns will certainly triumph over the entertainment and business aspects of professional boxing.
Boxing will evolve, as surely as it has through London Prize and Queensberry rules. As data is collected and medical knowledge improves, perhaps we will see fewer rounds and headgear even in pro boxing, or perhaps an eventual outright ban.
Boxing has had a long history, and there is tremendous support for the sport.
However, we live in an information age, so there is no excuse for ignorance either. Consider the following two articles: first, the British Medical Association speaking for physicians across the entire united kingdom....
Boxing – the BMA’s position
September 2007
(This briefing paper applies to the UK)
Introduction
Since the early 1980s, the BMA has called for a total ban on amateur and professional boxing in the UK. As a first step, there should be a ban on children below the age of consent from boxing.
The BMA’s opposition to boxing is based on medical evidence that reveals the risk not only of acute injury but also of chronic brain damage which is sustained cumulatively in those who survive a career in boxing. It may take many years before boxers and ex-boxers find out they are suffering from brain damage. The BMA believes that there is sufficient evidence for the risks of brain injury associated with boxing for the Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to call for an independent inquiry into these risks.
In 1993 the BMA’s report The Boxing Debate, found no evidence to suggest that boxing was any safer in the 1990s than it was when the BMA began its campaign in the 1980s.
In a new report Boxing, an update from the Board of Science (September 2007) the BMA extends its call for a complete ban on amateur and professional boxing to include mixed martial arts (MMA) competitions.
In 1991, eleven national medical associations Reference 1 added their voice to the opposition to boxing, and expressed their concerns regarding the dangers of boxing believing that ultimately it should cease to exist. The medical associations stated that modern medical technology demonstrates beyond doubt that chronic brain damage is caused by the recurrent blows to the head experienced by all boxers, amateur and professional alike. “As long as it is legal to hit an opponent above the neck, there are no safety precautions which can be taken to prevent this damage.” Reference 2
In 2005 the World Medical Association [WMA] stated that “Boxing is a dangerous sport. Unlike most other sports, its basic intent is to produce bodily harm in the opponent. Boxing can result in death and produce an alarming incidence of chronic brain injury. For this reason, the WMA recommends that boxing be banned.”
Damage caused by boxing
Pro-boxing arguments point out the fact that other sports result in injury, but the major concern over boxing is the brain damage sustained cumulatively rather than in any one recorded instance. In addition to causing some major acute injuries, boxing can lead to chronic damage following repeated trauma. Each time someone is hit on the head they may sustain a minor degree of brain injury. Once damaged, the brain is increasingly susceptible to further damage. Boxing also damages the eyes, ears and nose - in some cases there may be permanent sight or hearing loss.
Doctors are gravely concerned about the risk of serious impairment to those who survive a career in boxing. These are the post-traumatic brain diseases which can result in a progressive failure of brain function. In the last few years fighters have been left wheelchair bound, blind and comatose after going into the ring. All boxers are at risk of acute and chronic brain and eye injuries. Boxing, therefore, cannot be justified on health and safety grounds as an appropriate or legitimate ‘sport’.
Brain injury
Whereas much of the rest of a boxer%26#039;s body is protected by bone, fat, skin and well developed muscle, the brain is encased only by the skin-covered skull and attached to its interior by fine filaments of blood vessels and nerves. (One of the most useful models to describe the structure is that of a jelly suspended in a box by threads on all sides). When a boxer sustains a direct blow to the head - which has been likened to the effect of being hit by a 12lb padded, wooden mallet travelling at 20mph - the head rotates sharply and then returns to its normal position at a much slower speed. In addition, the different densities of the different parts of the brain also move at different rates and the overall result is to create a %26quot;swirling%26quot; effect inside the brain. The resulting damage is surface damage from the brain hitting against the inner surface of the skull; tears to the nerve networks; tension between the brain tissue and blood vessels may cause lesions and bleeding; pressure waves created causing differences in blood pressure to various parts of the brain; and (rarely) large intracerebral clots (as sustained by the boxer, Michael Watson in September 1991).
The effect on a boxer includes, grogginess, weakness, paralysis, weakening of limbs, inability to focus, possible loss of consciousness, ie. the %26quot;knock-out%26quot;. The long-term effects are cumulative and may not show immediately after a match. Most signs of damage are more likely to appear towards the end of a boxer%26#039;s career or even after retirement. Stretched fibres may recover after many weeks but cut nerve fibres do not repair. Ex-boxers are less able to sustain natural ageing of brain or diseases of brain and may be more likely to suffer diseases such as Alzheimer%26#039;s and Parkinsonism. Boxers%26#039; brains are smaller, surface grey matter is thinner, fluid-containing ventricles enlarged because of t

What boxer has the most potential to put boxing back on the map?
It%26#039;s been a while since there has been a boxer that really excited me. I am hoping that one of the up and comers like Cintron will fill that bill maybe even Vernon Forrest%26#039;s return. Who do you think will rekindle boxing%26#039;s spirit?|||There are many many exciting boxers out there.....but sadly they just aren%26#039;t reaching the casual boxing fans......there are so many other sports fighting for their market share at the moment that boxing is now becoming a minority sport. Boxing needs to get on FREE TV on a weekly basis. The stars need to be marketed more to the general public. Ok another Tyson would help to generate more aduences BUT while we wait (and the next one will come.... they always do) we need to look at getting the stars out to the general public....PPV is a nail in the coffin...........|||well, if floyd mayweather would quit talking bout retirement I think he could. he obnoxious enough, plus he%26#039;s damn good. Only thing is they have to find someone to actually give him a fight which is probably easier said than done.
and yea I know he%26#039;s fittna fight this decemeber, but it seems like everytime he wins a fight he starts talking that retirement jibba jabba|||this idea that boxing is being knocked off the map is because all these MMA fools are drones to whatever dana white says, its simple not true. This year boxing broke the record for a PPV event with hoya/mayweather with over 2 million buys. THe seats were filled with celebs like i never seen before. As far as fights go, boxing fans are spoiled this year. We have had a great year of fights so far and its only getting better.
we still have Cotto/mosley, taylor/pavlik, hatten/mayweather, vasquez/marquez 3, a possible zab/margarito, kessler/calzaghe, barerra/paq, soto/guzman. These are all very competitive fights that true boxing fans have been asking for. The future lightweight division has a kid named Chad Dawson who is very fun to watch and is being trained by mayweather sr. Joan Guzman is set to take over the lightweight division. Kidsidis is set to be the new version of Gatti. Paul Williams is a freak of nature who fans seem to take a liking too. Theres a lot for boxing fans to be excited about and the only thing mma has done is wake the sport up.|||Boxing is on the map and there are some good ones out there - both classic boxers and tough brawlers. A couple of up and comers are the Peterson brothers from D.C.|||There may be fighters that put boxing back in the main stream, but it won%26#039;t be Cintron and definitely won%26#039;t be Forrest. Usually the most skilled fighters don%26#039;t attract a lot of attention. It has to be an all out brawler that give the crowd exciting fights. I saw Pacquiao%26#039;s name mentioned and he is probably the closest thing to that. Arturo Gatti had a huge following and he was nowhere near the top fighter in boxing.|||Vernon Forrest will not do anything special for the sport, especially at this point in his career. Personally, I don%26#039;t even see how he was deserving of a title fight over a week ago. Anyway, answering the question, Manny Pacquiao is one name that comes to mind. There are a few others, but I like what Pacquiao have been doing over the last couple of years and is still doing. Also, I think either one of the current heavyweight champions could help a lot, if they could unify the titles.|||Only Mike Tyson reborn and there is no one right now that has that potential!

How does the points system work in professional boxing?
In professional boxing, how does a boxer earn a point and loose a point?|||you dont earn points, each person starts with 10 points. the loser of the round (determined by a judge) gets only nine points, and usually if a boxer gets knocked down they will take a point away. The referee in the ring will determine win a point will be taken away for things like illegal punches, hitting below the belt, etc.|||10-7 rounds happen fairly often to tell you the truth, and sometimes a fighter can lose a round 10-8 without getting knocked down or penalized if a judge feels one fighter dominated; i saw it happen twice in one antonio tarver fight|||Robert is correct, the winner gets the full ten pts while the loser automatically gets nine unless they were knocked down which typically cost them another point or the ref penalizes them for one thing or another such as a low blow which typically costs a point.

Boxing films are part of the American cinematic culture. Classics such as Cinderella Man, Raging Bull, and Rocky were true classics in every sense of the word. But for every classic boxing film there have been some awful, downright stinkers of movies which were horrible. What are some of your picks for some of the worst boxing films? Some of my picks are Against the Ropes and Rocky Marciano.|||Play it to the Bone was pretty bad.
Although %26quot;Ali%26quot; was a great movie I hate that they left out all the terrible things Ali said to Frazier when they were promoting there fight. They make Ali out to be an angel, I acknowledge the brave things he did in and out of the ring but they should have included that part as well, none of us are perfect. It angers me because Frazier helped Ali financially when Ali was banned from fighting. What a way to spit in a friends face.|||At the time, I liked the Rocky movies. Now, I don%26#039;t care for any of them except the first.
The other 2 that come to mind were so horrible that I can%26#039;t even recall the titles of said movies. One of them had Danny Glover%26#039;s character training the guy that brutalized and permanently disabled his son.
The movie ended with the disabled son stopping the fight in some contrived symbolism of race relations.
The other one, had some dude losing a fight, and his hot chick promoter coming to ringside to apologize, and the apology somehow makes him a better fighter.
Horrible Hollywood drivel, written by people who have never took a hard shot in the nose.|||The worst ever boxing movie has to be %26quot;Ricky 1%26quot;.
It was supposed to be a send up of the original Rocky, but it was a major flop, had no %26quot;rocky%26quot; references to it, had no real point to it, and wasn%26#039;t funny in the slightest, in fact, it was down right diabolical.
The only pointer I can think of in the sense it was taking Rocky off, was, it%26#039;s name and when Ricky entered the ring wearing a horses head, I%26#039;m assuming that was a reference to the Italian STALLION?

What was your most triumphant moment in boxing?

I cornered him up and threw about 10 straight headshots. He conceded that I took him. We%26#039;re friends and it was a fun and exilarating match.
Another time was a friend I made and we boxed and I decked him the first time. He was jarred by the punch and I was surprise by it. I was 37 at the time. The next few times we fought he took me. This guy grew up on boxing teams and I never was on one. It was a nice ego boost.

Is it bad to do boxing after running?

or do everything in one day? Is it also bad to do it everyday?

Most amateur clubs have to cater for guys with 9-5 jobs anyway so they might do a run before the regular 1-2 hour session anyway.
If you have the time you can train more like a serious fighter or pro and do a couple of workouts a day.
The only general rule would be split it up best you can, try not to double up same workout a day.
Weights are the only thing you should have a definite rest day, before you do the same weights again.
One proviso is even the pro%26#039;s take a light or rest day off a week, so aim at 5 solid days max.|||%26quot;Road work%26quot; is very important.

What is the scoring system in Olympic boxing?
I like boxing but cant figure out how did he score a point. So please help me out.|||when a boxer gets hit with the white portion of the glove if atleast 3 out of the 5 judges press their button within a 1 second window of each then that registers a point on the electronic scoring. and im not sure but im always told the person in the center of the ring gets more points.and sometimes points are based on aggresion and control.|||Have been watching the Olympic boxing the past few nights and it seems there is little rhyme or reason to the scoring. In particular I watched a fight between a Russian and a Chinese fighter. In the slow motion reply it was obvious the Russian hit the Chinese fighter with a right to the chin followed up by a great body shot to the chest. As the Chinese fighter was forced back he took a wild swing and caught the Russian with a right palm hit to the Russians cheek. Results were the Russian got zero points, the Chinese got 1 point. It was bizarre.
|||if the white part of the glove hits the front part of your opponents head or torso then 3 of the 5 judges have to agree and score a point on the computer for the fighter|||It%26#039;s really based on which fighter has more punches landed.
