10 Day Bodyweight and Boxing Basic Training

11 Lessons Beginner

About this course

This course aims to teach you some boxing fundamentals and get you started on a boxing training program.  Keep in mind that this is an introduction to boxing and is designed to get and keep people interested in the sport. There’s a lot more to learn when you’re done with this – but we’ll cover that in about 10 days.

Over these next 10 days, you will train like a boxer.  You’ll learn how to get into a boxing stance, how to move and how to punch.  You’ll use those skills in boxing workouts and we’ll start your conditioning with full body body weight workouts. 

You can follow this training plan with absolutely no equipment by substituting shadow boxing for heavy bag work, but I highly recommend you have access to a heavy bag, bag gloves, hand wraps, and a jump rope.  You’re robbing yourself of pure awesomeness if you aren’t actually hitting the bag.  Boxon.

Day 8 1 Lesson

Day 8: Forearm Block Against Hooks – Boxing Training

- You're going to get better and better the more you drill the movements and techniques.  That's especially true with blocks.  It's not something you're going to be able to think about before doing - the block has to be instinctual when a punch is launched at you.  The only way to get to that point is by drilling it over and over again until you no longer think about it - it just happens.  Today we'll add another forearm block - this time protecting you from hooks.
