Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between amateur and professional boxing?

Amateur boxing is typically focused more on the sport aspect, with an emphasis on skill, technique, and points scored rather than knockouts. It usually involves shorter rounds, and protective headgear is required. Professional boxing, on the other hand, is a full-time career with longer rounds, no headgear, and a greater emphasis on power and knockouts.

What is the proper stance in boxing?

The classic boxing posture involves standing with your legs shoulder-width apart. Your lead foot should be forward and your rear foot should be at a angle of 45 degrees. The weight of your body should be evenly distributed between your toes and knees. Hands up for protection of your face. Elbows tucked under to protect the torso.

This upward strike targets the underside of the opponent’s chin or their body.

How To

How to select the right boxing glove for beginners

Choosing the right boxing hand is crucial for your comfort and safety. As a beginner, opt for gloves that provide ample padding, typically between 12oz to 16oz, to protect your hands and wrists during bag work and sparring. If you are looking for durable gloves, choose leather or synthetics with a strong wrist closure. Be sure that gloves are snug with hand wraps in place, but not so tight they block circulation.
