There are also different combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. An example of this is a left hook, followed by a right crossing. This will damage the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He uses his arms, legs, elbows, knees, knees, and feet to do this.
Legs
A boxer must use his legs to defend against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using 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 that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an 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. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
In order to box effectively, a boxer needs to establish a stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. Boxers have many options for stances. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
To increase his punching power, a boxer rotates when he throws a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination of strong and weak punches will produce a good result.
Spare parts
Sparring is an exercise session to improve boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
