Legs

Elbows

Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.

Hands

Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.

Knees

To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.

Feet

When attacked, a boxer should step back and deliver counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.

Stances

Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. His stance will determine how he defends. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are some of the more popular ones:

• Low stance
• High stance

Rotation

Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.

Combinations

Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.

Spares

Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
