Using The Right Boxing Techniques Will Improve Your Boxing

By Joe

If you want to know how to box or improve your boxing techniques - and get good at boxing - then this article will help explain what's involved.

But first, are you wondering how to throw harder hitting punches? Punches which can knock out opponents? Punches which sap opponent's strength? Allowing you to wade in and send them crashing to the floor.

Or perhaps you feel threatened or bullied and want to give the other person a good threshing. Well with the right boxing techniques you can do this. And it's important you take the time to know how to throw the correct punches.

Once you know how to box effectively then you can fight anyone.

There are many different boxing blows which you need to know how to throw so you become a more feared fighter. As well as learning other aspects of boxing as well.

You need to learn to use different blows in different fight situations. When you combine your hard hitting blows then you're able to 'damage' opponents making them easier for you to knock them out.

Once your boxing techniques are of a good enough standard then you can feel confident about boxing anyone.

You need to consider other factors as well. Such as ring craft and how to move around the ring when fighting.

So if you're ready to improve your boxing techniques then here are 7 tips for you:

1. Judges score a fight by the quality of the punches you throw. So when you develop a good boxing technique you can impress those judges scoring your bout. The more points you score the more chances of winning - that is, unless you land a Big Punch and stop your opponent.

2. Choose your boxing style very carefully. Do you want to lead with your left or your right? Which feels more natural to you? Or perhaps you may want to adopt both the boxing technique styles to make yourself a more dangerous opponent for others to fight.

3. Consider your present fitness levels. Is your fitness of a good enough standard for you to be able to keep throwing punches and at the same time receive energy sapping blows. If not start adopting a boxer's training program.

4. There are certain boxing techniques you need to use against different boxers. You wouldn't use the same boxing technique when you're facing a taller opponent compared to when you're facing a shorter opponent.

5. Obviously you need to know how to avoid the different types of blows thrown at you.

6. Learn to feint. If you can do this you can deceive your opponents and create openings for yourself. You can draw your opponent out and find out his preferred methods of boxing.

7. You need to think about how far you throw your punches. And also how to improve your timing. By judging your distance better you'll land more powerful punches. One good way is to use a punch bag to measure distance. When your opponent is throwing a punch at you that is the best time to hit him. Because his weight is coming towards you.

If you do all of the above then you can't fail to improve your boxing technique.

Think about getting hold of a boxing program. Either in the form of a boxing trainer, join a boxing club or follow a boxing program.

You have many choices or options to learn boxing - either via a private trainer, a boxing gym or a boxing program from the comfort of your home.

It doesn't matter how you learn boxing as long as it's enjoyable -good luck.
