The basic skills of boxing are:
- Techniques for punching
- Techniques for protecting yourself
- Footwork
- Stance
- Movement of the body
- Defense
- Combination
- Rotation
- Spare parts
Punching Techniques
There are seven kinds of punches: Left Hook, Right Hook, Uppercut, Cross, Straight, Overhand and Underhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination may contain several parts. For example, a combination of a left and right hook will result in damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. After receiving a kick, he will raise his leg and move away from the attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. However, if the attack comes from behind, he stands up straight and blocks the kick with his foot.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. An elbow strike may be delivered directly or in an indirect manner. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then they make contact with the 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 can be used to defend yourself.
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. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It dictates how he places his body and faces his opponent. There are many stances available to boxers. Here are some of the most common ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. 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. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
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 a training session that improves 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.
In conclusion, learning to box requires dedication and patience. Boxing is a sport that requires dedication and perseverance.
