Eventually - you will need some equipment. But you can go through the first 28 days of the training with nothing more than a jump rope and a place to do some shadowboxing and body weight training. From there, it depends on where you are training and your goals. Some people will never step foot in a boxing gym but still want to go through the full 12 weeks. That's really not possible unless you are going to purchase all of the equipment you need. To do the entire program you will need (in order of appearance):

• Jump Rope
• Round Timer
• Foam Roller
• Tennis Balls (3)
• Tape Measure and Calipers (optional)
• Digital Camera and Video Recorder (optional)
• Hand wraps
• Bag Gloves
• Heavy Bag
• Free Weights (Complete barbell and dumbbell set)
• Upper cut bag (Aqua Punching Bag is best...)
• Double End Bag
• TRX or other suspension trainer
• Headgear
• Mouth guard
• Groin Protector (Chest Protector for women)
• Focus Mitts

I realize that is a big list of equipment and most will find it more cost effective to join a gym near them to get access to this equipment. If that is not possible, you can still do the program, but you will have to make compromises.

There are some really good coaches and trainers posting instructional boxing techniques on Youtube that are free to watch and use. I regularly check them out myself to see what else I can learn. Ones' boxing education never stops. 

​But the problem that Commando Boxing solves for you is how to take all those techniques and put them into a sequential, progressive boxing training plan that ensures you learn the techniques while simultaneously increasing your strength, power, speed, stamina and other markers of athletic performance.

It is step-by-step so you learn something and then build on it - there is no guesswork on your part. You just commit to and do the training as assigned on any given day.

I'll be honest with you - pretty much any training plan you find on the internet or anywhere else will improve strength and help you lose weight if you use it. The key is to pick one and stick with it. Consistency is what matters.

I'm actually surprised this question ever comes up given how many times I've said that boxing is the most effective training on the planet and the examples of thousands of boxers walking around - but in a nutshell - the answer is yes. Boxing training plans in general will do wonders for your levels of strength, speed, and burn off any excess fat you may have and the progressive training plan in the stream is no exception.

Nutrition is huge - it's even more important than the training in the long run in terms of body composition and performance. 

I'm Precision Nutrition certified to offer nutrition advice but the Boxing Skills Stream is primarily about boxing training.  I will not be providing full on meal plans but can answer a question or two if you ask. 

For sure. Commando Boxing is perfect for anyone - male, female, young or old.

It's actually an exciting time for females to get involved in boxing. Compared to men, there is far less competition and many female boxers are quickly finding themselves competing for world championship belts and securing spots on Olympic boxing teams.

Even if competing isn't your thing - the physical and mental benefits are outstanding!

If you're already getting the results you want - then you probably don't need the training plans in Commando Boxing - stick to what's working - but if you want a training plan that is going to challenge you and is designed to progressively increase your level of boxing skill and fitness then join the stream.

The key word though is progressive. If you do join the stream, you will start with the first mesocycle no matter how fit or capable you think you are - so if you are more advanced that may not instantly appeal to you.

That first 28 days consists of basic skipping (we'll eventually add another 65 jump rope moves), shadow boxing, and body weight training. That should be your primary focus along with establishing a training habit and ensuring your nutritional profile is good to go.

If you're already following a pretty intense training regimen then that first 28 days may sound pretty easy. In reality it can be a lot harder than it looks - as the rounds/exercises are timed - you can make it harder or easier on yourself by how hard you push yourself during the work cycle.

The start is all about foundations and making sure you can move any muscle you already have on your body. It also features two days/week of active rest/recovery which includes mobility exercises and foam rolling. From there, subsequent phases include weights, heavy bag work, plyometrics and so on as things progress. But every 12 weeks you return to a body weight program to give your body a stress break and a chance to recover fully while making sure muscle is functional.

If you work the training plan and trust the programming - in the long run you're going to be far stronger, faster, and fat and injury free. You'd just have come to terms with the fact that not lifting or running or whatever for a few weeks is a good thing in the overall scheme of things. If you can't do that then you "could" supplement with your own training - but I think you'd be pleasantly surprised how effective it actually is.

The training takes anywhere from 25 - 90 min each day. 60 min is about the average. I know you have 60 min in your day somewhere - you just need to make training a priority in your life.

No time at all. It's automatic. Immediately after paying for membership you can get started. You'll be redirected to your account and an email will show up in your inbox explaining what to do and where to go. No waiting required!

Becoming a boxer doesn't happen overnight. It's a sport you never quit learning and once you're involved - you're hooked - it's more addictive than crack. The training and nutrition becomes a permanent part of your life.

That said, you will start feeling different within the first 48hrs of training and will notice physical changes in the first week.
