Boxing is inspiring, motivating, and often at the heart of stories of losers for whom the decision to start a class was a turning point. You yourself can probably recall many classic Hollywood boxing films right off the bat. So why is it so popular?

In its simplest form, boxing is an inexpensive sport that is easy to get into (unlike, for example, Formula 1 in your own garage.

Boxing benefits

Ultimate Fitness Workout research has shown that boxing training is one of the best ways to burn calories. On average, in just 30 minutes of regular sparring with a partner or with a pear, a person can burn up to 400 calories. The high intensity of such workouts perfectly burns fat, improves the work of the cardiovascular system, while not loading the joints as much as, for example, running.

In addition to its fitness benefits, boxing improves focus by making you constantly think about the technique of the punches used. Also, boxing training helps build confidence when you can learn a few tricks.

Another huge plus, which should not be forgotten, is the fight against stress (and who doesn’t have it now?). When you give your body a lot of physical activity, you get a charge of endorphins – the best fighters against stress.

Finally, boxing teaches the basics of self-defense that can save your life in an emergency. However, we advise you not to rely heavily on this point, because the attackers on the street are not used to playing by the rules, and you are unlikely to get the opportunity to fight fair with them.

So let’s learn boxing for the other benefits we’ve outlined above (and add to this list that it’s just cool).

Beginners, hobbyists and pros

People who have just started boxing should thoroughly protect themselves with ammunition due to their still low level.

A beginner boxer’s outfit consists of:

bandages (2-3 m long),
gloves,
helmet,
single-jaw mouthguard for the upper jaw,
special footwear

As the level improves, working with shells is allowed without gloves, and the length of the bandages varies.

The outfit of an amateur boxer is slightly different from the displayed list. But taking into account the fact that the fighter is already starting to perform in competitions, the following are added to the list:

shell,
special uniform (blue or red T-shirt + underpants),
equipment (version of gloves for training only),

At the professional level, a boxer’s equipment consists of:

forms,
mouthguards (often made personally),
bandages 4-5 m long,
heavier and more advanced gloves
shoes,
bandage.

Also, fighters of any level must have an individual towel.

What do you need for boxing at a minimum?

If you decide to save on equipment, then we will tell you what you need for boxing to a minimum. These are mouthguards, bandages and boxing gloves. There is no point in boxing without these things. Simply because it will no longer be boxing, but fitness, yoga – anything but boxing. This is what the minimum is needed for boxing.

Purchase criteria

If you need to buy a boxer’s equipment, you need to know some of the nuances. They will help you choose a quality and convenient product.

When choosing gloves, pay attention to them:

Design – the fist should fit comfortably and tightly,
Padding – it should absorb shocks, be elastic, but not very rigid, in this regard, universal products are especially good,
Wrist strap: Velcro or laces, the first option is optimal for amateurs. The velcro should be of such a width that it provides a strong adhesion for displacement.
Material. The best option is leather. The alternative is its quality substitute.
Weight. It is selected based on your level and parameters.

When choosing equipment, special attention is paid to the quality of the Velcro and the seams.

When buying boxers, make sure they:

Securely fix the ankle joint.
Made of high-quality air-permeable material.
They have soles that provide the necessary grip on the surface of the ring. In this case, there remains some possibility of sliding.

T-shirts and shorts must have a dividing line that is visible to opponents. This reduces the risk of getting attacks below the belt.

The bandage should not cause discomfort to the boxer and block his movements. The product should be selected strictly according to its size.

What is included in the boxer’s outfit was reflected above. Below is an overview of these attributes:

Gloves. They defend their hands in the classroom and in battles. Material versions: leather and its substitute. They differ in weight, which is determined in ounces.

Its parameters for different categories of fighters are as follows:

Level	Glove weight (oz)
Newbies	4-6
Lovers	6-10
Pro	10-20
Heavyweight pros	20-22

Tournament amateurs wear leather versions with a spot of white. This makes it easier for judges to calculate points.

Shells. Functions: increase in efficiency when practicing strikes on shells and maximum arm defense in this process.

Material: leather, its substitute.

Helmet. The task is to protect the head. Used by amateurs only. Only open versions are allowed at championships.

In general, helmets differ in the degree of protection:

Product variant	Protected areas
Open	Forehead, ears and whiskey
With amplification	The same zones, only the ears are more protected: soft rings are arranged in their area
Solid top	Crown
Isolating chin and cheeks	Jaws and nose

Shoes – boxers. Protects against ankle injuries.

Bandages. Protect hands. They hold the bones and wrist in one position, form the joints of the fingers in a single row, which gives another shock impulse. Sweat is also absorbed by the bandages. The service life of the gloves is thereby developed.

Mouth guard. Elastic plastic product. Thanks to mouth guards, the risk of jaw fractures, injuries to the brain, neck, lips and cheeks is reduced.

The form. For amateurs, these are panties + T-shirt. The pros have only cowards.

The size range of this garment: XS – XXXL.

The specificity of the shirt is its cut, which does not allow the straps to fall off the shoulders during training.

The panties have an elastic band 5-15 cm wide. For better freedom of movement, there are options with cuts on the sides.

Synthetics are used for the manufacture of T-shirts and panties, such as satin polyester.

Bandage. Protects the groove area. Its material options: thin foam filler, plastic, titanium inlays. Leather is used to create its upper part.

Estimated cost of boxing accessories

To practice boxing, you must definitely purchase the necessary equipment, since without it you simply cannot train! But you need to approach the purchase wisely, saving in this matter will not be appropriate.

Required Boxing Equipment

These are the essentials that EVERY BOXER should have. You can of course borrow them, but that is disgusting / unhygienic and not as safe as having your own gear.

Bandages

An indispensable tool for protecting your hands. Do not work on the bag without hand protection, this can damage your wrist and injure you quickly. You need to wrap your hands every time you plan to wear boxing gloves.

Having your own bandages is like having your own socks. They will be filled with your sweat and your awful scent. You can get by with one pair, but it is better to use 2 or 3 pairs, depending on how often you train.

Gloves

Using gym gloves can be a bit off for a while, but over time you will love your own gloves. And sometimes it is very annoying when you want to practice, but someone else is already using “your” gloves. Or one day you come into the hall and, with a broken heart, find out that “your” gloves are torn, and the Velcro on them is torn off. At some point, you’ll come to the realization that it’s better to have your own boxing gloves because they smell better, they have newer padding, and are always available when you need them.

If you can only afford one pair, go for 16 oz training gloves. If you can afford a second pair, grab 12 ounces or 14 ounces for those times when you need to do speed work on a sack or a stretch bag. (Always use 16oz for sparring.) Younger boys, women or children (under 55kg) may train with 14oz gloves or less, but otherwise, I highly recommend the 16oz standard.

Cap

This is a must if you are going to spar. I don’t know why there are still idiots who think you can spar without a mouthguard. Possible consequences: A) You will lose a tooth, because the blow can lie clearly on one tooth, instead of hitting the entire jaw. B) You injure your jaw (which will make your jaw weak for a long time) because the lower jaw moves freely and is not firmly attached to the upper jaw. High probability of concussion. C) You will bite your tongue. I once bit my tongue DIRECTLY. Imagine how much it hurts to pierce your tongue with your teeth.

Also, do not use someone else’s mouth guard. Unless it’s melted under your teeth, it won’t provide you with maximum protection. Also, since blood gets on the mouthguard all the time, you can catch someone’s illness (such as hepatitis, AIDS, herpes, etc.). The best mouth guards cost at least $ 20, but at least something is better than nothing.

Optional Boxing Equipment

Ultimately, all boxing equipment is “essential” if you plan to seriously box and even compete. However, for a beginner who is just starting to learn boxing and scouting the situation, the equipment below may not be required. Do whatever you can with what you have.

Helmet

Over time, you’ll want your helmet if you’re going to spar regularly. It will sit better on you and will always be available, and will not be constantly used and soaked in other people’s sweat. The softening material will be much better since the helmet will not be used by 30 people. A helmet is a must ALWAYS when sparring; don’t spar without it.

Boxing Helmets Review

Boxing Shoes

Boxing shoes increase your mobility and power in the ring. This is due to their superior grip and thin material that increases your mobility. You will not only feel better in them, but also move much better. There is no other piece of equipment that can improve your boxing ability faster than a simple pair of boxing shoes. My favorite brands are Nike and Adidas. Everlast and Rival are fine too. Title, I don’t really like them.

Boxing Training Equipment

In order from most important to least important. You will most likely need EVERYTHING to be a successful boxer, but if you are not going to compete then it doesn’t matter at all.

Hall and Trainer

The fastest way to learn is to learn from someone who knows what they are doing. The people and environment you surround yourself with have a big impact on your growth. Training with a trainer and the best fighters will level up your skills very quickly. Training alone or with fighters of a lower level will slow down your progress. With that said, training in the gym and working with a coach is best. It will be difficult and scary, and outside of your comfort zone, but it will make you a better fighter!

Partner

A partner can hold paws for you, run with you, train with you, motivate you and push you beyond their limits. Boxing, like many other aspirations, is a thousand times more fun when done with someone. Trying to box without a partner is like learning to play chess alone. You will invent all sorts of inapplicable possibilities in reality, only in order to lose later when you finally face a living opponent. If you don’t want to waste eternity, find yourself a partner so that you can progress exponentially.

Punching bag

As a beginner, you will need the bag to develop the right punching shape, punching power, punching speed and punching endurance. You will most likely have a lot of fun at first because you have never had the opportunity to release your energy in this way. Over time, you’ll get to more meaningful and better things, but as a beginner, the punching bag is a lot of fun.

Pear on Stretch

A cool way to develop accuracy, timing and hand speed. I highly recommend this as a supplement or even a replacement for the bag, especially for highly experienced boxers.

Jump rope

For $ 5, you can’t find the best boxing equipment that will help you develop all your boxing muscles, balance, footwork, and even punching ability. Jumping rope is a common way for boxers to warm up, workout and cool down.

Pneumatic bag

Excellent for developing rhythm, timing, accuracy, hand speed and hand endurance. A pneumatic bag is absolutely essential for serious boxers, but not so essential for those who box for themselves. If you have access to a rope, that’s great.

Boxing ring

You can spar anywhere, but the boxing ring is the best option if you want to learn how to box according to generally accepted boxing rules and scenarios. The presence of the ring helps to limit the space so that neither you nor your opponent can run far beyond the distance. It also forces you to develop long-distance skills as well as short-range ones. On a more psychological level, being in the ring forces you to confront your opponent, without the ability to leave.

Gloves – what a boxer without them!

Normal gloves will cost from 3 thousand rubles. You can buy more expensive, but I do not recommend cheaper. First, cheap gloves made of poor material will quickly deteriorate.

As the Germans say: “We are not rich enough to buy cheap things.”

If the gloves are frankly bad, then health problems will begin. Incorrect hand position can lead to injuries, poor material will lead to skin problems.

Bandages, shoes – it is forbidden to save!

You need to buy normal bandages. Here the situation is the same as with gloves – poor quality will lead to skin problems. Moreover, hands can sweat a lot, which will lead to unpleasant smell from the gloves. Normal bandages can be bought for about 1000 rubles.

Working in the gym is more profitable than buying a pear.

Next – shoes. It is necessary to buy special sneakers, athletes call them “boxers”. Their main difference from regular sneakers is in the support of the foot. This reduces the likelihood of injury, because the load on the ankle is enormous. You can buy normal shoes from 4 thousand rubles, if you are lucky, it is better to focus on the amount of 6 thousand or more. This is the case when you should trust well-known brands.

Helmet – is it needed?

The next purchase is a helmet. Not everyone needs it, because many go in for sports without sparring, but more on that later. It is strictly forbidden to save money on a helmet. If it is bad, then problems with fasteners will begin, which will not give rest. Buying a helmet of the wrong size will result in it not performing its full function, which can lead to injury. Prices for normal helmets start at 5,000 rubles.

In recent years, the popularity of fitness boxing has increased. People practice punches, do boxing gear, but don’t spar. Exercise burns a lot of calories and helps you stay in shape, and is more fun than running. In addition, there is an opportunity to talk about your favorite sport with like-minded people.

The mouthguard is needed only for those who spar.

Various little things

For classes, you can buy a rope, even the cheapest one. For sparring, you need to buy a mouthguard, here prices start from 1,000 rubles. If you take care of it, that is, constantly rinse it, then it will last a very long time.

To work with a pear, you need to buy shingarts, they will cost from 3 thousand. Unlike gloves, shingarts will help you feel your impact early, which will reduce the risk of injury while practicing your punches.

You can buy a rashguard, this is a special clothing that does not allow muscles and ligaments to cool down, which reduces the risk of injury. On my own behalf, I will say that this is not at all a mandatory purchase, many amateurs buy simply for aesthetics, but it costs a pretty penny – from 3 thousand rubles.

Going to the gym

You can find a classroom in Vladivostok for 5 thousand rubles. I myself go to such a gym, do it without a coach. I have at my disposal pears, a treadmill, a sparring ring. Not everywhere and not everyone is allowed to spar, beginners do not fully understand the essence of training.

Professional boxers in sparring strike at half strength, because they work on movement, legs, feeling of the opponent. Beginners start hitting each other on the head with all their might, which can lead to dire consequences.

What are boxing bandages for?

The second inexpensive accessory that will help prevent injury is boxing bandages. If there is not enough money for gloves yet, then take them.

First, the bandages are needed for personal hygiene. Using common gloves in the hall, you can pick up a sore. It is certainly difficult to guess what the other person brought with him in his arms. Therefore, personal bandages are a significant protection against bacteria.
Secondly, with the help of bandages, the wrists and fingers are fixed, thus the chance of injuring the hands is reduced several times.

What is a jump rope for in boxing

In addition to accessories to protect the fighter, sports tools are involved in the training process. The most common is a jump rope. Despite the fact that the rope is associated mainly with childhood, boxers constantly use it in their training. There are entire sections of stores that specialize in this tool.

This small object can help develop coordination, speed, endurance of an athlete, warm up muscles and give an impetus to the body to lose weight. The advantage of the rope is that it is mobile – you can take it with you absolutely anywhere and not interrupt your classes. You need to choose a rope based on your height. To do this, fold the cord in half, stand in the middle with both feet. At the same time, the edges of the handles should clearly reach your armpits. If the choice fell on buying a rope in an online store, then use the size table. She will help you choose the most suitable length of equipment. It looks like this:

With an increase of up to 160 cm, a rope up to 2.5 meters long is bought;

from 160 cm to 175 cm – 2.6 – 2.8 m;
with a height of 176 cm to 190 cm – 2.8 – 3.00 m;
190 cm + – 3.00 m +.

These are all approximate figures and it is better to take the length with a margin, then the cord can be shortened.

For training, a beginner boxer will need a rope with a leather cord. It does not develop speed, but it makes it possible to control its location well and loads the muscles of the arms, shoulder girdle, and forearm. And also use heavier handles for extra muscle stress. For example, wooden or metal. To prevent the cord from getting tangled, it is better to buy models of jump ropes with bearings in the handles. So you don’t have to be distracted by untangling the cord.

Types of skipping ropes for boxing:

Lightweight;
With revolution counter;
With a weighting agent;
Expander, etc.

We supply original products from MPSport, Everlast, Expert and other trusted brands. When choosing the length of the jump rope, you need to focus on growth. If you stand in the middle of the rope, then the handles should reach the armpits. There are universal boxing ropes – with an adjustable rope length.

How to choose the right rope: handle material

Plastic. A practical and easy option with the disadvantage that it creeps out of sweating hands.
Neoprene. The best for all categories of athletes. Absorbs moisture, so the handle is always dry and pleasant to the touch.
Wood. Also recommended, has the properties of the previous material.
Steel. For Professionals Only: The heavy weight of the handle is necessary to strengthen the wrists.

Speaking about which rope is better, one cannot unambiguously recommend any one handle material – it all depends on your physical fitness and goals. We only advise you to give up plastic and get a slightly more expensive option – at least if you decide to take care of your body seriously. For example – an excellent model from Adidas with soft handles at a price of 1150 rubles: perfect for beginners and lovers of a sports lifestyle.

Choosing the material of the cord

Rubber. The most popular raw material, suitable for almost everyone – both professionals and amateurs. Does not get tangled, does not wear out, has a high level of elasticity.
PVC. Also good for everyone, but it is characterized by increased rigidity, which makes it possible to work at a more intense pace. Better than any bike path – and, unlike it, it costs from 290 rubles (pay attention, for example, to simple and durable products of the Status Boxing brand).
Leather. This is the best skipping rope for professional boxers and other athletes. It cannot be adjusted in length, but the rotation speed is very high here. At a relatively low cost (the famous Green Hill offers leather jump ropes from 730 rubles), their aesthetic appearance will not rub the palms and give an excellent effect during training.
Nylon or cotton. They are not used in sports due to their low weight and lack of rotation speed. Suitable for children and older people – they do not hurt when they hit their feet. The manufacturer Sport Pioneer offers models of this type at a price of 590 rubles. By the way, the wooden handles with which the manufacturer equips his product is an additional advantage: they do not slip and are pleasant to the hands.
Steel. Quite a rare variety, recommended for professionals. Used only for regular jumps without crossing, has an average weight. Such ropes cost a little more (from 1000 rubles), but unlike simple products, they have special handles with bearings and are covered with a protective compound – like the Brand4Power brand’s CrossFit model – or have other features due to which the product practically does not wear out and can be used not only in training, but also in competitions.

Before choosing a rope for training, determine your level of fitness. We recommend that beginners and amateurs alike stick to rubber and PVC. When buying, you should pay attention to the uniformity of the coloring of the cord and handles, the thickness of the cord and the absence of defects on the surfaces of the rope.

High-speed plastic skipping rope with handles attached at right angles to the cable

It is an ideal equipment for all types of martial arts. The thin cable attaches to the handles at right angles and rotates quickly. As a result, you have the opportunity to maintain the required rhythm. The handles are thin and fit perfectly in the hand. All you have to do is focus on the rope and performing various tricks.
The right angle between the cable and the handles not only allows a high rotation speed, but also protects against twisting. Thanks to the ideal resistance, the rope allows you to maintain the required rhythm and quickly improve coordination. Unfortunately, this type of rope is extremely rare in regular stores, and you can order it online.

Plastic Licorice Skipping Rope

Another great choice for boxers. This is the most common and cheapest rope available at any sporting goods store. Their only drawback in comparison with the considered type of sports equipment is a lower rotation speed and a shorter service life. This rope is great for basic movements, but not well suited for double jumps.

PVC rope

The presence of bearings in the handles, in theory, should allow the projectile to rotate more evenly. However, in practice, a lot of problems arise when it is necessary to change the length of the cable. The main problem with this sports equipment is the stretching of the cable and at high rotation speeds, you can easily get off the rhythm.

Rope with leather rope

We do not recommend using jump ropes with thick leather cables and wooden handles for fighters. They will not allow you to develop sufficient speed during the session, and if you knock it down, the sensations will be extremely unpleasant.
Here are a few more types of skipping ropes that are completely unsuitable for boxers and representatives of various martial arts:

Projectiles costing over $ 40 – the only complaint about them is the high cost. They are primarily designed to perform effective tricks, but boxers do not need to.
Beaded – in general, a good sports equipment, but it requires a lot of energy to spin.
Steel Rope Ropes – The main complaint is that they rotate very easily. As a result, it will be difficult for novice fighters to control the rhythm.
Ropes with a thick rope are difficult to rotate, which makes them unsuitable for double jumps.
With thick handles – they force you to concentrate on the handles, on the non-rhythm of work.
Weighted Ropes – Some athletes read that this equipment can improve hand performance. However, in practice this does not happen, but it becomes more difficult to develop coordination and a sense of rhythm.

Another important point when talking about how to choose a jump rope for boxing and martial arts is the length of the sports equipment. If you step with your foot in the middle of the rope, then its handles should reach the armpits. Novice boxers can use a slightly longer projectile to stumble less often. However, over time, the length of the cable will have to be shortened.

Equipment bag

What do you need for your first boxing training so as not to wear a uniform and equipment in a package? Buy a gym bag, of course. It is not worth initially, in the absence of an extra budget, to spend money on cool brands. It is enough to buy a spacious and reliable bag. In the process of gaining experience, there will be a clear understanding of what exactly is right for you.

Punching bag

This projectile is in almost every training room. But, nevertheless, athletes who want to achieve great success in real fighting in the ring buy a punching bag for their home. It is needed to practice striking technique, to increase endurance, coordination. And most importantly, to feel the moment the fist enters the target. Pears come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The most popular is the punching bag – it is very versatile and suitable for home use. Its height ranges from 40 cm to 2 meters. Diameter – from 20 to 60 cm.Weight – from 5 to 120 kg.

For an adult, it is recommended to use bags starting from 35 kg, with a height of 1.5 meters. The most inexpensive and practical options for punching bag material and filler are PVC and rags. A more expensive option will be made of genuine leather, the price for such a bag will frankly “bite”. You can buy a bag made of tarpaulin, but it has one significant drawback, which will then add costs – due to the rough surface, the gloves quickly become unusable. And this is another additional cost item.

You can also buy a heavy punching bag home. It will allow you to practice low blows and uppercuts. In general, this is a fairly versatile projectile, which is actively used by professionals.

Where to buy boxing accessories

As you can see, there are not many really necessary accessories for training and fighting in boxing. However, each of the elements helps the fighter to qualitatively prepare his body for a real test in the ring. It is advisable to buy equipment immediately, but spending money on expensive goods is not always rational. There will be enough inexpensive things to get started. And, the lower price does not always mean that the product is of inferior quality. Often the brand name adds to the price.

Of course, this does not mean that you have to risk your health by buying boxing accessories from the market. You can discover the world of online shopping in Germany. This is exactly where all the products meet the quality standards. For example, in the online stores SportScheck (drive into the search engine of the site “Boxen”) and SportsDirect (section “mma and martial arts”). Promotional goods often appear on these sites, sales are held, discounts are announced.

With its help, you will have access to a single shopping basket and catalog of more than 170 stores in Europe.

I hope after reading the article you understand what you need for the first boxing training specifically for you and where you can buy all of the above. Successful training!

Cap

Forgot your mouthpiece – you don’t work in pairs!Even on fixed workings. Dental prosthetics – medicine for the wealthy, crumbling teeth, splitting lips, etc. without a mouthguard, you can easily even on a simple workout. Only mouth guards for the upper jaw are suitable for boxing. No need to buy double-sided. Fashionable mouthguards are made from a dental technician’s impression. There are a lot of shrink sleeves now. They fit perfectly. You just need to compress it correctly. To do this, first try on, see if it is pressing somewhere. You can cut the edges lightly in problem areas with scissors, only carefully. When thermoforming, the mouthguard does not need to be crumpled like plasticine. Put the mouthguard in the water of exactly the temperature indicated in the instructions, wait a while, take it out, dip it in cold water for a moment, pinch it, bite it with your teeth (look, don’t bite it!), and run with enough force with your thumbs along the outer and inner sides of the base of the teeth from the front to the molars, then fix in cold water. The mouthguard should adhere to the upper jaw without any support, like a glove. If something did not work out the first time, but the mouthguard was not strongly deformed, then you can try again. Of course, you need to keep hygiene, wash it after each use, not even give it to your best friends and all that. If you store it in a jar of water, it will be more pleasant to use. you need to take care of hygiene, wash it after each use, not even give it to your best friends and all that. If you store it in a jar of water, it will be more pleasant to use. you need to take care of hygiene, wash it after each use, not even give it to your best friends and all that. If you store it in a jar of water, then it will be more pleasant to use.

clothing

There is only one requirement that there are no rigid elements on the clothes – zippers, rivets, etc. otherwise, a T-shirt, any sports shorts or pants will do just fine. In practice, special boxing shorts and a jersey are much more comfortable. I recommend buying them. I haven’t used any sweat-wicking devices, I don’t know, but I see them in the halls. Some people wear a regular cotton T-shirt, and put on a boxing jersey. What for? I don’t know, probably for beauty.

Weights

Usually in the halls there are dumbbells 1.5-2.5 kg. do not need anything else. This is the optimal weight. Most novice boxers find that practicing punches with huge weights increases the power of the punch. This is a common misconception, they are needed for completely, completely different purposes. There is no need to buy various weights for the legs and arms – the thing is not just meaningless, but categorically harmful.

Paws

This is a trainer accessory. There are straight lines, curved with a helium balloon in the shock zone. For a boxer, in general, this is not necessary. In most cases, the work in a pair is mutual – one works out his own, for example, an attack, the second at this time a defense, it will not work with paws. Then, with paws you need to be able to work. In general, this is a coach’s business, and if you really want to, you can always find it in the gyms.

I don’t use the sink in training. If you buy it, you will most likely leave it at home after a month of torment. We will talk about bags, pears, pneumatics, pillows and others in another article.

Life hack: Standard colors of gloves are black, red, blue. If you buy gloves in a non-standard color, it will be easier to look for them in the hall. Manufacturers give coaches good discounts and they often sell equipment, and just one bought a successful model, then another five people bought exactly the same ones. It happens that everyone has almost the same gloves and helmets. I mark my belongings with a small mark on the patches with an indelible marker.

That’s it.

Boxing for beginners: what you need to know

Boxing classes for adults are conducted exclusively by certified experienced trainers who have managed to teach several dozen good fighters. Boxing for beginner adults begins with an individual program of various activities.

What such a program must include:

Classes with special equipment;
Workouts to build muscle and increase endurance;
Aerobics;
Work with simulators;
Sparring with other boxers to improve technique.

What you need to take to training

If you decide to sign up for boxing for beginners, then for the first lesson you need to take a comfortable tracksuit and high-quality sneakers with non-slip soles. You should also take soap and a towel, along with other shower accessories.

As a rule, all boxing clubs have a set of equipment and simulators necessary to conduct the most effective training. In the future, you will only have to buy boxing gloves, mouthguards, bandages, and a helmet. The trainer will tell you about them.

If you have not been involved in any kind of martial arts before, then after visiting the gym you will understand that boxing from scratch is just an ideal option for forming a beautiful and strong body, as well as a healthy mind.

Working with a pear

The following criteria are met here:

The original stance is its own.
Mandatory alternation of blows from both hands. For example, do straight attacks and uppercuts with your right hand, and straight and side kicks with your left.
Using combinations, for example: jab – uppercut – hook – jab.
Hit the middle of the projectile.
Smooth build-up of attack power and dynamics.
Beat the punching bag at an intense pace for 2-3 minutes without interruption.
Avoid overvoltage.
If the projectile is wobbling, add sand to it to develop mass.

If there are any difficulties with the selection of a projectile and working with it, it is useful to watch a video tutorial on boxing training at home for beginners, for example this:

Boxing without leaving home

A boxing lesson for a beginner athlete should start with a warm-up. This will help prevent injury and prepare the muscles for stress. It is very good if there is an opportunity to run close to home. In winter, you can do without it by resorting to physical exercise.

Push-ups on fists. It is better for a novice boxer to play it safe and put a mat under his arms. After a few workouts, fists become firmer and you can do without it. This type of push-up will help strengthen your triceps and hand joints for a powerful kick. For greater efficiency, 3-5 approaches are done 20 times with breaks of five minutes. You need to strive to ensure that this number of approaches is performed without much difficulty.

Jumping rope. Many boxers neglect jumping rope, and in vain. By doing this exercise for 20 minutes before each workout, the athlete becomes much faster and more dynamic than the opponent. Strong legs and calf muscles are important in boxing. You can and should jump in different ways: low, high, on one and two legs, move around the room backward, forward, in a circle.

Squats. Perform five approaches 50 times. You can also squat with a barbell, if available. To do this, you need to place it just below the neck, in order to avoid injury and more traction of the weight. Keeping your back straight, place your heels under your shoulders, slightly turning your feet. The main thing is to look in front of you, otherwise, lowering your eyes, your neck will drop.

Shadow-boxing. It is necessary to learn how to practice strikes and defense with a non-existent enemy, as they say – to hit in the air. This is necessary so that the hands do not get tired during a real fight if there is a miss. You can practice both single strikes and serial strikes to gain improvisation skills during an attack.

Boxer’s home inventory

To develop the force of impact, you will certainly need :

Boxing gloves – pounding a heavy punching bag with your bare fists is fraught with danger;
Bandages-gloves, worn under boxing and eliminating the need to rewind the brushes with ordinary bandages, which is very inconvenient;
Heavy pear (bag);
Dumbbells weighing 1 kg – for more effective training of strikes without (before) a pear;
Heavier dumbbells are the best equipment for strength exercises at home due to their small size and low cost;
A bench for doing some strength training.

Provided that you practice for yourself, you can safely do without the rest of the equipment, leaving the helmet, mouthguard, paws, dynamic pears and other things to the professionals.

It is good if the house has a horizontal bar, even better – a set of wall bars + bench + horizontal bar + parallel bars, but you can train without it.

Clothes and shoes are suitable for ordinary sports – as for any sport at home.

Advice

Stand in the center of the ring. Do not allow yourself to be cornered or pinned to the ropes.
Spar with experienced fighters. You will miss more punches, but boxing with a superior opponent will teach you a lot.
To get out of the corner, put a block, then squat and bend to the side.
Bandage your hands before each sparring session. To bandage the hand, it is necessary to protrude the thumb and pass the bandage between the finger and the rest of the phalanges of the fingers, then wrap the bandage around the hand three times. Then lift the bandage and wrap your arm three times. Slide the bandage back under your thumb. Then pass the bandage between your fingers. Start with the little finger and the ring finger. Run the bandage across the space between your fingers and wrap each finger at the base. On the back of your hand, wind the bandage crosswise, starting from the left side. Do the same with all fingers. Finally, wrap the bandage once around your thumb and then around the back of your hand. Wrap your thumb again and run the bandage under your palm. Now wrap the knuckles three times and finish wrapping by bandaging the wrist again.

Other nuances

How to learn to box yourself? How long does it take to learn to box? These questions are quite common. The beginning of a boxer’s path takes place only in the gym, only with a trainer. At home – only additional activities. With intensive and competent training, after 3-4 months, the coach can let the beginner start sparring with simple opponents. And this is just the next phase of training. And if we talk about the basic technique, then fighters can master it in 4-6 months.

The question is often encountered – how to learn to box, like Tyson? You need tremendous stamina, physical strength, strict adherence to the regime. You need to be that tall. Indeed, in many ways, Tyson’s technique is adapted for him, taking into account his physics and potential.

Experienced trainers’ recommendations

Authoritative experts give beginners the following tips when designing a personalized boxing workout program:

Avoid flexion exercises (for biceps), with the exception of pull-ups, and even those are preferable with a wide grip – with the main load on the “wings”.
Boxing and pumping up muscles in the simulator should be performed according to a single schedule and a strict system, correctly combining one with the other. Long breaks between workouts are fraught with serious problems with movement, technique, speed and strength of punches.
Do boxing, not bodybuilding, that is, only on a physical training program for a boxer. Consult with boxing coaches, politely declining the assistance of fitness instructors.

Develop explosive strength and strength endurance, which is what boxing at home serves. Together with a beautiful figure, you will gain dexterity, excellent coordination of movements, power of blows, excellent breathing and a cardiovascular system to the envy of the “pitching”.

Conclusion

You can learn boxing itself, only it will be incomplete training. The necessary program is practiced only with a trainer.
