Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is different. Some punches require more strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations that combine punches to accomplish a particular goal. An entire combination could have several parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. 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 the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. Boxers raise their fists to block incoming blows and then move in the direction of the attacker’s attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This way, he can gain distance between himself and his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers can take many different stances. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This means changing your speed, position 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
The timing of each punch will determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Sparring
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
To sum it all, boxing requires patience and dedication. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
