Boxing Fundamentals
Six lessons that take you from standing still to throwing combinations that hold their shape. Nothing here assumes you have boxed before, and nothing later in the gym works properly until this course does.
What you will be able to do
- Hold a stance you can punch from and move out of
- Throw all five punches with the hips, not the arms
- Return every punch to the guard it came from
- Link punches into combinations that keep their rhythm
