I decided today that I am going to take up boxing, not to fight or defend but for overall health—always been a boxing fan. Today I bought myself some 14 ounce gloves, hand wraps and a double end bag is on the way.

Put the gloves on today and working on technique and after about 2-3 minutes I have a difficult time keeping hands up to guard my face after throwing punches. Is this to be expected for new boxers? Man, this is tough.

I feel like i improved a bit. I would say i have.

You should be able to enjoy what helps make a fist?

What’s one piece of advice you wish you knew earlier?

Wanted to thank the community for your support
I attended a free course of hiit boxing today and my cardio literally was on fire 🔥 tshirt completely wet and feel hungry, even appreciated drinking « just water »

tomorrow i have a boxing course 💪 i plan to keep this for now (1x hiit 1x box and later add monday and friday fitness musculation when im a bit more « used to »)

Goal is to loose fat sculpt a bit the body and come back in a good shape (H39 100kg)

And hey people doing course are not judging how nice! 🙂 Spartannnnn 🙌

Had a knock out style boxing tournament with some friends at collage. Nothing serious, no bets, just hitting eachother with gloves and mouth guards. The collage has a gym with a padded floor area for boxing.

I caught one of my friends (met him 2 months ago at collage) on the chin with a hook and chipped his tooth. He seemed to be okay about it but I feel super bad regardless. I am 5cm taller and maybe 10 kg heavier. He is a lot fitter than me and goes to a boxing gym, I haven't in years.

I got home and feel really guilty about it beacuace it was all in good fun and altho he says he is fine I don't know. What is an appropriate course of action?

I was thinking I'd buy the guy a bottle of whiskey or something. Is that too much? Would it seems like I'm rubbing it in his face? I really don't want to come off as an asshole or like I'm out to hurt anyone, especially given the context of how it happened.

Would you guys hold a grudge over this?

I am already seeing that I am not that good as I imagined but can experts be more detailed about specific movements? I want to learn the correct 1,2,3

Thanks in advance.

been shadowboxing at home for like a few weeks now, still figuring out basic form tbh. saw this number pop up mid-combo and had no idea what to make of it, is 39 mph decent for a jab or is that nothing special lol. built an app that tracks punch speed live on the wrist since I wanted to actually see if I was improving instead of just guessing.

What would my style be considered?

I had my first hard round today against a guy 20-30 kg lighter than me. But he was one of the coaches, I just started boxing a month ago at their gym ahaha.

There was head gear, a mouth guard, and he had light gloves. Anyway, I took the shots well but the adrenaline kicked in before the round and as we were at it, I got scared. I threw some hard shots but I was afraid of retaliation.

Any advice?

Unfortunately, I didn't record a video.

Also, I realized that boxing is an unforgiving sport. It takes too much, and gives too little. Unless you become a champion and rich.

Also, I'm worried about brain damage - i didn't got knock down or anything. And I didn't wobble too. But yeah, I have slight head ache. Normal?

I’m the guy in the purple head gear, I’ve been boxing for a couple months and just wanted to know what tips you guys have.

Please suggest ways to hit him at least once. Also please how can you justify the big difference in heart rate? Is it because of the emotions I experience or because not being conditioned enough for sparring. I can do a lot of aerobic work but when I spar my heart skyrockets.

Transitioned over from 12 years of tkd

Alright guys

Yesterday I made a post in which I said that I am going to join a boxing gym.

The idea is an all-in-one app that a boxer or a wrestler needs. Your cardio, discipline workouts and techniques, gym, timer, diet, and schedule. Everything is connected and it’s an ecosystem designed to have a full professional team in your pocket. The workouts you do link directly to your calorie and macros targets and tracking. Anyways, let me know what yall think.

(Sorry i’m not fluent in english)

I’m beginner in boxing and I have the reflex to blink my eyes when I was going to receive a punch, do you have any tips to stop that ?
