Frequently Asked Questions
How do you choose the right size boxing glove for your hand?
Size and type depend on weight, level of protection needed, and the activity that you are engaging in. Gloves are measured in ounces; beginners often start with 12oz or 14oz gloves for general training and move up to heavier gloves for sparring for added protection.
What should I consider when selecting a boxing club?
You should look for a boxing facility that offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere, has experienced instructors and is approachable. It should also have a range of classes to suit all levels, good equipment and positive feedback from existing members. A trial session can also help you get a feel for the gym’s atmosphere and training style.
Can I start boxing at any age?
Yes, as long you’re in good health and your doctor has given you clearance to begin boxing. Boxing is a flexible sport that can be tailored to suit people of any age or fitness level.
How often should an amateur boxer train?
Beginners should aim for two to three boxing sessions per week, allowing sufficient time for rest and recovery between workouts. As your fitness improves and you become more accustomed to the sport, it is possible to gradually increase both the frequency and intensity.

How To
How to Deliver a Effective Uppercut in the Boxing Ring
The uppercut can be a fight-changing punch when delivered with precision. Lower your rear hand slightly and bend your knees to drop your level. You can drive your rearhand in an upward arc by pivoting your rearfoot and pushing your hips upward. Focus on your legs, core and lead hand, rather than your arm to generate force.
