Frequently Asked Questions
How can I determine the size and type of glove that is right for me?
The size and type of boxing glove you need depend on your weight, the level of protection required, and the activity you’re engaging in (e.g., heavy bag work, sparring, or competition). Gloves measure in ounces. Beginners usually start out with 14oz or 12oz gloves to train for general sparring and then upgrade to heavier ones for more protection.
What is the proper stance in boxing?
Standing shoulder width apart with the front foot forward and the back foot at a 90-degree angle is the classic boxing position. You should have your knees slightly bent and your weight evenly distributed on your balls of feet. Your hands should be raised to protect your face. Keep your elbows tucked into your torso to protect it.
How can I protect myself when boxing?
Defense in boxing involves several techniques, including maintaining a solid guard with your hands up, using footwork to maintain distance, and utilizing head movement such as slips, rolls, and weaves to evade punches. The defensive skills you learn are as important as the offensive ones.
What is the importance breathing in boxing?
In boxing, breathing correctly is crucial. It helps you maintain your stamina and energy levels, as well as keep you relaxed while training or during a match. To manage oxygen intake and output, you should breathe rhythmically and exhale with each punch. Inhale through your nose and then exhale through your mouth.
