One great way to lose extra body fat is to perform boxing or kickboxing workouts. You can get an incredible cardiovascular workout with a heavy bag, speed bag, and jump rope. Boxing and kickboxing workouts will give you a break from the boredom of most forms of cardio exercise and work muscles you don’t normally train.

Boxing Training: Boxing a Southpaw

It is generally agreed that a southpaw has a distinct advantage in a three-round amateur bout. The reason is simple. A southpaw is accustomed to boxing a right-hander, whereas most right-handers are unfamiliar with southpaw tactics.

Normally southpaws are strictly left-handed punchers, and use their right hand merely to offset the right-hander’s extended left hand. It is for this reason that, when we get a southpaw on our squad, we immediately teach him how to deliver a right jab and a right hook. The right hook is very effective as an offensive punch; also as a counter-punch thrown immediately after a short hop-back. A southpaw who uses his right hand efficiently along with his normally effective left hand is hard to beat.

Proper equipment is a “must” in any boxing program. A capable, qualified coach would not send a boy on the football field without proper shoulder pads or headgear. Yet, I have seen high school boxers use worn-out gloves and a makeshift mat with no canvas cover; and I have known of boys who have not been provided with alumi­num cups. This is absolute false economy, and should not be tolerated.

Proper mouthpieces, well-padded headgears, and hand-wraps should be available for all contestants in a boxing program. It is advisable to have high-topped boxing shoes, but where economy is a factor, light-weight basket­ball shoes will suffice.

All equipment should be properly maintained, both for the safety of the boy and for reasons of economy.

In comparison with most other sports, boxing is inex­pensive to conduct, and can be very profitable financially. After the initial outlay for the ring, punching bag, and gloves, additional purchases are minor in nature. Upkeep is incidental. Many high schools in the states of Louisiana, Washington, Virginia, and Wisconsin are now showing a larger profit from boxing than from any other sport. In numerous colleges boxing receipts are second only to those derived from football. We do not wish to convey the impression that we suggest boxing only because of the profit motive. But we do wish to show that the sport needn’t be conducted at a financial loss to the school.

Getting your kid into any kind of martial arts lesson, be it boxing lessons, Muay Thai (better known as kickboxing), or one of the less combative fighting arts, will do wonders for his discipline and self esteem. However, unlike most Karate or Kung-Fu classes, studying boxing lessons will have the added advantage of letting your child get out his aggression in actual physical combat, while at the same time improving his self-defense skills.

Boxing promoter Frank Warren must be furious. The ’spectacle’ that was presented to the viewing public, never mind the paying fans inside London’s ExCel arena, on Saturday 10 th Dec 2005 was a diabolical demonstration of exactly how far heavyweight boxing has fallen. For seemingly the first time in years, terrestrial television was broadcasting a boxing match in a prime time viewing slot - Mainly, one suspects, down to the efforts of Frank Warren and others of his kind. On the basis of that viewing, it will again be a long time before British boxing fans will want to stay in on Saturday night to watch the big fight.

While surfing around the internet last week, I stumbled upon something so fantastic that it immediately got my attention… In fact, I discovered something sooo amazing at first I thought it was “too good to be true” like most things are.

You see, a few months ago, I was actually doing some research on Mr. John Walsh one of the most acknowledged and influential boxing instructor’s of his time. I noticed that most of his work was available and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important pieces of work ‘Boxing Simplified�.

Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper and I started to send off a few emails asking questions… Unfortunately every, road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…

Many people hesitate before letting their kid take a boxing lesson. No one wants little Jimmy to get pummeled in the ring, and everyone knows about the well-publicized risks of boxing. There is brain damage, broken bones, and all other types of trouble to contend with if you are being pummeled. But any youth boxing lesson takes these factors all into account and comes up with adequate safeguard. Instead of boxing like you see it on HBO with their head totally exposed, teenagers taking a boxing lesson have the full Olympic headgear which prevents concussions and other serious blunt force trauma.
