Boxing

Friday, October 24th, 2008

In all the madness of modern martial arts events and hardcore MMA, boxing is a sport / combat style against which has been pushed to the side. I do not even know if most people see boxing as a Western form of self-defense these days. Although it is still a popular sport to watch on pay-per-view, UFC style fighting about the fact dominated by the arts for some time now. But I encourage all the boxers not to hang their equipment boxing immediately. It is a style that will always fit in the fight against empty hand.

In all likelihood, most modern men have seen a demonstration of martial arts at this point. This new phenomenon hit the entertainment scene in the early 90s. Suddenly, the world of martial arts was reversed upside down. Many traditional arts have been tested and found in few modern-day combat. Styles such as Brazilian ju-jitsu is now recognized as worthy of the street. However, the traditional western boxing has not really been discussed or considered both. In fact, it has become a major arts practiced MMA events. In reality, these “no-holds-barred” fight against the events, it is a mixture of what has been deemed effective. And most of the styles are mixed ju-jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing, boxing and the standard the West. It appears that the boxing you have invested in the equipment back in the day was the value of your effort. Boxing is and always will be a great stand-up form of self-defense. It offers effective techniques to avoid strikes and that any hunter can benefit from it. Even if I started with Chinese boxing, also known as Wing Chun, western style, I added to my game in boxing To improve and become more varied. Also, you can easily beat the old school of boxing equipment as a bag of 50 books and a set of gloves to train with.

We have so much to take advantage of these days. When it comes to boxing equipment, there are many things you should know. A Slam Man may come very useful for basic training techniques of punches. This is a dummy that is difficult to show you where the fire strike. Then there is the B.O.B. dummy. These training aids are great if you want to do everything and not just wail on an opponent.

Boxing Lesson

Millions of devoted fans watch boxing on a regular basis. It’s not football, and it doesn’t involve a point guard or free throws. In fact, this particular sport doesn’t involve a ball of any kind. It only takes two in order to play and all you need is a pair of gloves. If you didn’t already guess it, I’m talking about boxing. This is a westernized form of stand-up self-defense, but is more commonly thought of as a sport. It’s all in how you train and what you make of it. Personally I would be much more apt to learn boxing for self-defense purposes, rather than trying my hand at the pro circuit. Few and far between are skilled enough for that route. Having said the obvious, who’s up for a boxing lesson or two? This form of self-defense/exercise can really benefit your overall lifestyle.

I received my first lesson in boxing from a customer in the video store I used to work at. This was about four years back. At the time, he was just entering the pro circuit. I was more than happy for him to pass me the boxing basics. It’s awesome to learn boxing or any martial art from someone who excels at it to his level. He first informed me that there are four basic punches in boxing. The first and foremost of these is the jab. This is the first and most crucial strike his trainer taught him. It’s often used to stun, set-up, confuse, or distract your opponent. It basically paves the way for more vicious attacks. Secondly you have the strait punch or cross. This particular punch begins at your face and blows straight through to your opponents. You’ll see it over and over in professional boxing matches. Then you have the hook punch. This one is a great follow-up to a jab. Stun then demolish your opponent with a fierce right hook. And finally there is the upper-cut. This is probably the least used, but most powerful of punches. If you can slip one in and make decent contact, you can do some real damage in a fight. Just be sure you don’t toss it out of nowhere. A boxer would see it coming and dodge, then attack. Now, whether you wanted to learn boxing or not, you just got your first taste.

I chose to learn boxing for self-defense purposes. I had already studied Chinese boxing for years. It was time to add a western flare to my eclectic style of self-defense. Check out your local gym today, and get that first in-person boxing lesson started.
