Techniques and Skills

As an amateur boxer you will need to practice techniques and skills to go to the next level. Try and get the best equipment as possible to develop these skills. Start off with your stance by having your feet shoulder width and if your right handed you want your right foot back even with your left heel and be on your toes (gives you leverage) both hands up close to your chin with your chin down . Left hand should be slightly more forward then your right hand and lean your body in as if you had bad posture. And if your left handed do the opposite. The "footwork" its all about the footwork if you don't know how to move your feet your going to get slaughtered out there so practice on dodging and moving around. When moving left move left foot first then right foot, moving right move right foot first then left foot, moving forward u always want to use the foot that's closest in front of you, and when moving back you want to move the foot that's closest behind you then move the other foot practice this and it will help you a lot. You will be able to make it to the next level and also practice hard! And perfect the proper stance.

Boxing Workouts

Do push ups, jump roping, weight lifting, and jogging try and jog 2miles starting off and increase every week.

Another fun workout is jump roping it develops your speed and endurance as well as your calves doing this is a really big asset in making it in boxing.
