There are many types of defensive techniques you may have heard out there, some techniques are more interesting than others. The first thing a beginner boxer should learn is how to block. Blocking is the easiest way to stay within range of the hits without getting hurt. And for beginners, locking is the safest way because it closes the angles of the blows. Once you've mastered the lock, you can go to more advanced elements like bypass and dodge. The main benefit of more advanced defensive techniques is that they allow you to defend yourself without using your hands, so your hands are free to counter strike! Blocking Blows to the Head

Of course there are more things about locks than simply bringing your gloves close to you, but this is a great start for beginners. There is no need to do anything more special, or you may get confused about where to put your hands. Bring your hands to your face or your elbows to your body. Basic Counterattack in Boxing Eventually you will find that boxing is almost always endless with counterattacks. You will always be attacking and defending simultaneously, so you should combine your offensive and defensive skills. For a beginner, the easiest way to counter-attack is to block first and then to attack soon after. Jabs can be countered by launching another hit simultaneously or by blocking first and then counterattacking. As your skills improve, you will eventually learn that any hit can be countered with any other hit. The tricky part is understanding how. For now, you should stay focused on easy counterattacks for beginners who do not need more advanced defensive moves. Basic Jab Counterattacks

The Definitive Guide To Boxing
Are you new to boxing and do not know where to start? I have created this complete boxing gear guide for all novice boxers, with more explanations. Please share with other aspiring boxers and other fighters. Come on! The Great Benefits of Boxing First, why boxing? This question could not be easier. Boxing is a great exercise, perhaps the most challenging of all sports. It requires speed, agility, subtlety, strength, physical and mental stamina. Boxing forces you like no other, putting the best and highest level athletes against each other. It is a sweet science but at the same time a brutal sport. More importantly, boxing takes you far beyond what you could imagine. Boxing makes you more alive than ever, more humble in defeats and more glorious in victories. Boxing reveals the true fighter that exists deep inside each of us. Basic Techniques of Boxing Basic Boxing Posture The basic stance of boxing is to make attacking and defense easier for beginners. You are well protected in this position and with both hands ready to attack easily. More advanced fighters will use different positions for more advanced body movements and greater counterattack opportunities.
Get accustomed to returning to this position always after any movement! Basic Legs Work For Boxing It is absolutely necessary for beginners to master the "step-and-drag" and "pivot" maneuvers. This type of movement may seem complicated at first because people have a habit of jumping during movement. In boxing you should keep your feet on the ground, so you are always ready to attack, defend and dodge. Also, jumping from one place to another is an immense loss of energy. Swanky leg work will come naturally once you improve your conditioning and technique. 1.) The Basics of "STEP-AND-DRAG" This up there is basic leg work for boxing. Take a step with the foot that is in front and drag the foot that is behind. This step-and-drag technique ensures that your weight is well distributed and you are always prepared to attack or defend. It also prevents you from walking or crossing your legs, which can cause you to lose your balance.
TIP: Try to complete all steps keeping your feet at the same distance. 2.) The Pivot The next most important leg work technique in boxing that you will need is the "pivot." Usually it is executed by rotating the foot that is in the front. You can use it defensively, to prevent attacks, or offensive, to find new angles for punches. The pivot can be useful for counterattacks, causing you to dodge the attack and maintain the range to launch counterattacks.
