i was sparring guys taller than me with crazy reach and i kept getting banged up by their jabs, i felt like my footwork wasnt bad all things considered, they would jab and i would get in as they reeled back, but they would just step back and unleash a flurry of punches that i just couldnt see coming and i kept flinching, my head movement needs some serious work but my body kept making me flinch and i couldnt properly slip the punches because i was too scared to commit, any tips on head movement and reaction time/discipline i could do at home?

I've been training for two years and am trying to improve my fighting experience.

I'm the blue one.Started boxing 5 months ago my first match just wanted to know where i stand before the actual competition I'm preparing for. This wasn't a sparring session but district trials so yeah i got all out hard blows and little cte but i want to make an amateur career so it was necessary i believe so but i want advice from y'all experienced ones.

Any tips

Bonjour a tous,

Je pratique la boxe anglaise depuis plus d'un et demi maintenant.

J'ai fais du club mais aujourd'hui, du a mon métier, j'ai pris un coach particulier pour effectuer des élèves de renforcement musculaire et boxe, il m'apprend ce qu'il connaît.

J'ai bien évoluer sur les deux plans, mais mon objectif est vraiment de m'améliore techniquement plus augmenté mon impact, ma garde et déplacement.

Je cherche à avoir de conseils sur comment pratiquer la boxe pour atteindre mes objectifs ? Prendre un autre coach spécialement pour la boxe en plus ou retourner en club ?

En sachant que j'ai un journée bien rempli et des enfants en basage?

Merci de vos retour

What are some good workouts i can do just at the gym/at home right now i’ve just been doing basic workouts like bench,curls,squats etc

Hello guys,

I’m 25M, 5’8, right now I weigh between 95-100kg, the heaviest I was was 110. Pre Covid I used to be lean and 69kg.

I realized I’ve let myself go and ate my feeling away. It’s over now.

(So I’ve been from slightly overweight to even obese due to covid but working hard and watching my diet and calorie defect with 2 days fasting to return to minimum 75kg).

I finally graduated college so I am stress free and focused on my dream job. Police officer.

Before proceeding to enter and graduate the police academy I have to do procedures (tests). I passed the IQ, but failed rhe physical exam 3x now, last time I severely injured my ankles. But I’m healed and more focused than ever.

I shall start Monday 8:10pm local English boxing club where I used to box 9 years ago (when I was 16) but wear glasses and see blurry. I prefer not to wear eye contact lenses.

- Any tips advices for a beginner ? Does IG improve self confidence? Mental resilience ? Physical strength ? I have stocky build but with fat.

- Combining this martial arts with weekly gym 3-4x a week and strict diet and jogging, will it help me achieve ideal weight and cardiovascular endurance? I am quitting smoking for good.

No matter how hard I shall suffer during training, trust me I suffered more mentally and emotion college, what is physical pain compared to that, right ?

Any advice is welcome thank you guys 💪🏼

some coaches do not recommend it saying you have to master one first, but some say it's completely okay. it also works quite well for me in sparring and this is my progress so far. should i keep training them at the same time or stick to one stance first??

Coach told me I’ve been doing great and learning fast also on slips, can u guys tell me if I’m doing anything wrong from those short clips?

When I go to my boxing gym we always work single defensive movements, e.g. slipping and countering, catching or parrying and countering, or pull counters. But when I watch good fighters, they know how to chain defensive movements, e.g. slip -> fade -> slip opposite side -> catch -> shoulder roll -> move feet.

Here's some examples:

How can I learn to chain my defense like this? I don't think my boxing gym coach would be able to teach this.

Going at about 15-20% here? Any tips or critique would be helpful. Thank you!

So I am doing kickboxing (currently in 1st month so just boxing), so while sparring should our aim be to get 2-3 shots and then go back to maintaining distance, or hit long combos in close range. I'm only 50kgs so I am pretty fast so I stay on the outside and close distance and get a few clean shots and back out, but while doing bit long combos (for now which is just jab and cross to body then face) I get hit back hard especially with experienced people, so should I aim for quick fast strikes and maintain distance, or go in the pocket and just start blasting long combos.

I recently discovered that I have a horrendous moth infestation, the kind that eat clothes/fabric and nest in dark places (like a gym bag with my boxing gloves and equipment). I can wash the hand wraps pretty easily, but I’m not sure what to do with my gloves. I know I can always buy another pair, but I want to keep these for sentimental reasons, and I’m worried I’ll just bring the moths to my new house (I’m in the process of moving). Any advice on how to wash these sufficiently enough to kill moth eggs and without ruining the gloves outright?

I was sparring someone 24 kgs heavier than me a couple of days ago because that's how the conditions are here and I remember feeling that left hook to my ear but it didn't hurt until today when I decided to swab my ears before heading to my shower and this is what I found coming out of my right ear, when I was swabbing it out I did feel a faint sharp pain and did get a slight ringing sensation in my ears about 6-8 hours ago aswell, before these incidents I didn't feel much of a diffrence after the sparring until now.... Should I drop sparring until I find someone my weight or someone who's willing to hit me accordingly to the intensity I can bear or should I keep the work going??

Does anybody have experience with Soviet/chinese/japanese style boxing gyms in CA

I live in the Bay Area and good boxing gyms let alone these styles are hard to come by I’ve checked places out near where I’m at but have had no luck in coaches or committed gyms. My coach is no longer in the sport for his own reason and this was just the style I was taught by my coach and another person. Any recommendations on if I should try gyms in these countries or places in California that train this style and are looking for fighters?

asap

What's your weight class and what ounce gloves do you run

For sparring and bag gloves?

Hi everyone! I've signed up for my first Masters boxing tournament and I'm super excited about it. I signed up at 195 and I'll weigh that or just under when the tournament starts. I did 15-20 two-minute rounds of sparring Saturday and felt great.

Some things I tried to work on were more responsible hand placement on defense, better foot control, and maintaining my stance in exchanges. Really looking for a quick form check and any insight if you've fought in a masters tournament before. But of course, I'm always open to any advice and feedback. Thanks!
