While one lucky punch may drop your opponent to the mat, using punches in combination with each other is a surefire way to wear him down fast.
You Will Need
- Boxing gloves
- A punching bag
Boxing is an inherently dangerous sport and should only be attempted with the proper training and supervision. Always consult a physician before attempting any exercise program.
Step 1: Take your stance
With gloves on, stand in your boxer’s stance with your lead leg forward, your lead hand protecting your face and your weight on your back foot. Your non-lead hand should be in striking position.
Step 2: Visualize the blows
Visualize where you want to land this series of blows.
Step 3: Throw your punches
Throw quick, abrupt punches such as a jab, hook, or uppercut in rapid succession.
Hold your guard up to protect yourself.
Step 4: Recover fully
Recover fully after each punch.
Fast does not mean furious. Don’t throw wild, uncontrolled punches.
Step 5: Defend yourself
Step back into your boxer’s stance, and prepare to defend yourself. A punch is likely coming your way!
In her 1999 boxing debut, Laila Ali, Muhammad Ali’s youngest daughter, knocked out her opponent with a left-right combination 31 seconds into the match.
