Hi, I'm Simon from Box Smart. I'm an Amateur Boxing Association qualified boxer and today I'm going to go through some boxing techniques with you. For more information visit our site, boxing-classes dot net.
How to do boxing safely: Always practices boxing in a safe environment, whether it is at your local club, make sure they're always registered with the ABA. That's the Amateur Boxing Association of England. By doing this, you'll make sure that you are safe at all times and everyone else around you is safe as well.
When you're doing pad work, be it with a partner at home or at a club, again: safe environment. Give yourself lots of space to move in and with the pad work, make sure your hands are in a closed position when you don't want people to throw punches. When going into a boxing club, you might want to try different clubs at different times.
See what time of the day suits you. There may be different coaches working there at different times; some will suit you, some won't. Always try different things to see what suits you best.
Another thing to remember, to practice boxing safely, is always do a warm up. This should consist of between five and ten minutes using all your joints in your body, and all of your muscles to make sure you're warm and ready for your main session. After your session, it's really important to cool yourself down slowly and stretch.
Stretching is really important so that you're not stiff the next day, and you can then go on to do another workout after this one. Another aspect of boxing safety is if you are sparring, always make sure that 1. You trust your sparring partner, and 2.
You are in a safe area. Really it should be a ring; you should never spar outside of a ring because you never know what obstacles outside of your area can interfere with you, and you can hurt yourself really badly doing that. So, that's how to do boxing safely.
Go out there and enjoy it. Practice, practice, practice. .
