Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more force than others. For example, an uppercut is a powerful punch. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers protect themselves by protecting their bodies. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
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 comes from behind, however, he can stand straight up and block the kick by his foot.
Elbows
Because elbow strikes inflict a lot of pain, they are very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands as a shield against incoming punches. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. Defense purposes are often served by knee strikes.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. There are many stances available to boxers. These are some of our most favorite:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
A boxer must be able to move around his opponent in order to win a fight. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spare parts
Sparring, a boxing practice session, is designed to improve your 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.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
