Punching Techniques
There are seven types of punches available: Left Hook and Right Hook, Cross, Cross, Straight, Underhand, Overhand, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, and Overhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches are more powerful than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. However, a straight punch is much more powerful and faster than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination may have multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this using his legs and arms, elbows as well as hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use the legs to protect themselves against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. If the attack comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. 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 both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. They then make contact with their attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
A boxer must have a stance in order to be effective at boxing. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. 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 is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Sparring
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better boxer, you must train hard and for a long time.
