How to practice boxing?

[Anonymous]

I want to get in shape and at the same time work on self defense. I’ve never boxed before and have no boxing bag at home or any gyms really that are close by. Are there any boxing drills I can do at home that will help? Also my punch is very awkward looking. I was motivated to do it by watching the creed movies and life and my new job have been very stressful lately.

If you want to learn how to box you need to go to a boxing gym. You can’t learn how to box properly alone.

But I’d also say that while boxing is great for learning how to hit hard, and while a good boxer will beat the average guy in a fight, it’s a combat sport, not a self-defence art. If self-defence is your focus you need to look at Combatives training.

You can get a chicken then try to catch it. If you can catch a chicken, you can catch greased lightning

Anyways, you need a trainer. You need someone who can correct your form. You won’t get that watching videos and looking at yourself in the mirror.

Start off by going to an amateur boxing gym in your area and have a coach teach you. They charge a certain membership price one time fee per year. You can learn that way. That’s how I started off as a kid
