Strength training for boxers

We may have seen some boxing matches on TV. Boxing matches not only rely on the strength of the arms but also the strength of the whole body. We need to strengthen our own physical strength training to help our boxers win the game better. The training methods for boxers with different physiques are also different. Let us learn about the strength training methods of boxers.

The jab is a type of straight punch, a tentative punch, with the left jab being the most common. The route of the punch is shorter than that of the straight punch, and the power of the punch is lighter. It can be used to test the opponent and cooperate with other boxing techniques for continuous attack.

Key points: The punch is faster and more sudden than the straight punch, the rotation of the waist and hips is smaller than the straight punch, the force of pushing the ground is not large, so the center of gravity moves forward less, and after punching, the arm is not fully extended.

The right straight punch is one of the powerful punches used in boxing. The right straight punch is suitable for long-range attacks, but it is rarely used and can only be used when you are fully confident.

Key points: From the basic posture, start to push off the ground with the sole of your right foot. The force generated by the right leg pushes the right hip joint forward, driving the waist to rotate forward quickly, while pushing the right shoulder forward. The right fist is thrown forward in a straight line, attacking the opponent's head. Twisting the hips and waist and moving the right shoulder forward can increase the power and attack distance of the right straight punch.

Left Hook

Key points: Start from the basic posture, with the fist starting from in front of your left shoulder, moving forward from the left side in an arc to hit the target, with the upper arm and forearm forming an angle of approximately 120 to 150 degrees, the arm level with the shoulder, and using the legs, waist, and neck to exert force, with the center of gravity shifted to the left foot. During the punching process, the fist and forearm slightly rotate inward, and the elbow slightly turned upward to the same height as the shoulder. At the moment of hitting the target, the shoulder, arm muscles and wrist joints suddenly tense up, and then relax, returning to the combat preparatory posture. When striking the opponent's abdomen or side area, the upper body can be tilted slightly to the right or the player can step to the right, using the movement of the body to increase the force of the strike.

The strength training method for boxers needs to be tailored to each of our boxing athletes so that we can make a training method that is more suitable for our own and can achieve better training goals, so that our boxing training can achieve twice the result with half the effort, better improve the boxer's strength, better defeat the opponent and better win the game.
