What you can expect to learn

The sport of boxing involves a lot of forceful, repetitive movements as well as punching. This is why boxing gloves are used to protect the hands. You can expect to use these during our classes when practicing techniques. You will learn the various stances associated with boxing: upright stance, semi-crouch and full crouch. You will also train using jump ropes, medicine balls and punching bags in order to build strength, increase speed and agility. 

History of Boxing

The history of the sport of boxing dates all the way back to 336 B.C. in Ancient Greece. It was first introduced to the Olympics in 688 B.C. when boxers would use leather wrapper around their hands as pseudo boxing gloves. The fights had no rounds and were either fought to the death or until one fighter acknowledged defeat. Early fighting had no written rules up until the mid 1700s. Eventually, rules were developed and enforced in order to protect fighters, and today rules and regulations for the sport are strictly enforced.
There are several different types of boxing styles, (this is a strategic approach taken by a fighter) we've made a list of them below. Please note some fighters also choose to use the strategic approaches below in combination to create their own.

  • Boxer/ out-fighter
  • Boxer-puncher
  • Counter puncher
  • Brawler/ slugger,
  • Swarmer/ in-fighter
