Today there are specific boxing training techniques that a fighter can use to train each part of his or her game. One of the areas that most aspiring fighters need help with is their conditioning and stamina. Without it, you can struggle at the worst and most inopportune times, and with it, you will be able to rise above the competition and stay in great shape.

When you’re looking at boxing training techniques specifically for stamina and conditioning, obviously you’ll be looking for ways to improve how many rounds you can fight and train for, and how hard you can train during each one. This doesn’t mean you have to go run ten miles every day however. There are many other techniques and strategies that you can use while training for boxing.

One of these is to incorporate a circuit training workout into your routine. A circuit training workout will move you quickly in between different exercises and machines without pause, as you work nonstop at each station. It works out your entire body, builds strength and will help to increase your stamina by getting your body used to working at full speed for extended periods of time.

Another one of the boxing training techniques you can use to improve stamina and conditioning is to buy a boxing round timer and set it to different lengths. Traditionally, while training for boxing your round timer is set to 3 minute rounds with 1 minute breaks. However, improve your conditioning you can make some small tweaks.

You could opt to limit your rest with the boxing round timer to 30 seconds between rounds. Alternatively, or in addition, you can set your rounds to be 4 or 5 minutes in length for a harder, more exhausting workout period. Either way, you will be taxing your body to a higher degree while training for boxing, which makes those formerly hard moments during a fight all the easier.

Of course, even if you are training for boxing just to get into better shape to begin with, it’s still important to train for conditioning and stamina. It will improve your overall fitness, while helping you reach the goals that you have for weight loss and appearance.

Put these two boxing training techniques to use today and you’ll start seeing serious improvements in your conditioning and stamina in no time at all. Training for boxing can be fun, challenging, intense and even rewarding. To make the most out of your time, incorporate a boxing round timer with tweaked settings and try a circuit training workout.

Martial Arts Training Equipment

February 22nd, 2010

Their are numerous forms of martial arts that are trained to learn techniques for combat. One must decide which art is right for them as well as their purpose for the training. Training in the arts combines learning self-defense techniques, fitness training, or training for combat sports. No matter which style of martial arts you train in there is equipment that will assist you in becoming the best martial artist you can be. Here we list of a few of those items and explain why they are important in the martial art of your choice, whether it be Tae kwon do, Judo, Karate, or numerous others.

Building your leg muscles along with Stretching is very important in your martial arts training, and one way to quickly help with getting high kicks is a split leg machine. These split machines have seats that are padded, with spreader arms that you legs sit on. When the lever is cranked the spreader arms move apart. This is to be done until the tension is low to moderate tension in the inner thigh muscles. Hold this position for a count of 30. After this try to turn the lever a little more extending the spreader arms further apart. This is the position you will hold for a full minute. This is the main stretch that will get you those high kicks. The split leg machine should be done daily to increase flexibility.

Another core piece to your martial arts training is the punching bags also going by the name heavy bag. Either the bags can be hung from a wall/ceiling or the base can be filled with sand/water to give it weight so it won’t fall over after being kicked or punched. Bags that hang should have strong, heavy chains and a weighted, stable stand.

Kicking bags are another important martial arts equipment that should be used in training. Most of these are made with high impact foam that covers reinforced vinyl. These kicking bags are made to so they cover the arms and abdomen of the person holding the bag. There are handle that the holder can grasp on the back side of the kicking bags, thus giving the holder a strong hold to take on the most powerful of kicks.

The last critical piece of martial arts equipment is the martial arts shoes. These shoes should have non-slip soles which increases balance. If you notice the traction of the shoe has a circular look towards the ball of the foot to allow for the foot to spin on the mats. This is very important to lessen the likely hood of a knee injury from the torque place on the knee when doing round or side kicks. Martial arts shoes provide better hygiene, since the bare skin of the foot doesn’t come into contact with the mats/floor.

Boxing Training – Tips on Defensive Sparring

January 9th, 2010

My boxing training journey has lead me to write this article on defensive sparring. I’ve been through many sparring matches and here are some of my self-defense boxing tips. When I look at novice videos on-line, I see many mistakes that I used to make but not anymore. Whether you are getting into boxing or if you do a few backyard boxing matches of your own, follow my tips and you will sure to do well.

Keep your chin down. When I look at inexperienced people boxing on-line, I often see flailing punches while their chins are sky high. This is a sin. Do not keep your chin up. You are asking to be knocked out. It is a reaction to throw a punch while also avoiding a punch. I see both boxers throwing punches at the same time and each boxer is afraid of getting hit in the face. Their reaction is to raise their chins and lean back. A very novice move. Keep your head down and keep your chin down.

Footwork is paramount. You must have excellent balance. It is not hard but also not easy to develop good balance. Practice keeping your feet wide apart. Much like planting a wider base to balance on, your feet should do the same. You should practice taking short quick steps. This allows you to react to counter the forward movement of a punch. It’s important to develop strong legs. My jumping rope exercise article should cover this step. When moving forward, step with your front foot and drag your rear foot. When moving backwards, step with your rear foot and drag your front foot. Try not to lift your feet too high off the ground. The closer your feet are to the ground, the quicker you can plant them and move or throw a punch.
