I already know how to box just need to brush up on my training. I do not want to compete just to utilize strength training and get in better shape. I will have my home gym set up in the next week to start my program. It has been 17 years since I have boxed. I'm 43 now and somewhat out of shape. I have a Marcy Smith Machine for my workouts and I'm going to get a heavy bag and speed bag this week as well as a few more training aids. I look forward to getting back in the ring if only in my basement.

Boxing Specific Workouts
Hi Aaron, I hope you're keeping well and your training's going to plan. I'm back for another round of body conditioning and then the 12 week Gold programme.
I've been doing TapoutXT every other day for about 4 months, with some running and MTB cycling on the other days with 1 day's rest. I'm very much looking forward to starting boxing training again.
My How to Box exercise programme homepage still contains a list of programmed sessions from my previous times doing this course. Would you advise me how I can get these entries (from 2012 and 2013) to disappear so I can add mynew programmes to my calendar please?
Cheers Aaron, box on!

Boxing Combinations
In sure that works against the bag dude but no ones stupid enough to let you throw continuously against the plus using left and right hooks over and over is predictable and easy to counter if they angle out and strike

Boxing Combinations
Jabs are always effective in combos as finishing or starting moves, they alow you to gauge the distance between you and your opponent either for your next punch or your defence. My personal favourite combo goes 1-2-3-4-5-1-1 the double jab at the end lets you back away if you need space and delivers a good follow on if you'd like to add another combo to the end, say for example your opponent is still guarding and not pressing forward (which is unlikely unless he likes to walk into your jabs)

Intro Lesson: Introducing the Commando Boxing System - Level 1
In may past I was in a lot of street fights. I won most but lost some too. Instead of courage, I want to learn technique and fitness drills that can make and keep me in shape. I am much older now and dont look for fights, but want to be in shape if I ever need to defend my family against a bad guy.

Intro Lesson: Introducing the Commando Boxing System - Level 1
Hi Alexandre, great to have you here. I completely agree - working with other coaches/trainers and using the best of what each has is a great way to develop and become a better coach. This program is probably at the base level of your knowledge, but you never know - you might be able to pick something up or learn a new way to explain an idea you already know.
Your English isn't all that bad either - keep it up. I'm sure it's better than my Spanish which is non-existent. Anyways welcome again and feel free to offer pointers to the people using the site. The more coaches/trainers we get on here the better. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

Intro Lesson: Introducing the Commando Boxing System - Level 1
Hello, first of all congratulations for you work. It´s a great idea and you have my entire respect and admiration.
I share your passion for the sport as I am a 39 years old Boxing and Kickboxing trainer.
I expect from this program to get some more training tips to apply at my class and eventually correct my weakest points. I am constantly searching to learn from others because in my opinion that is the best way to better improves.
Do you think it worth for me to carry on the program?
Sorry for my weak English righting :)
Best Regards. -

Perfect - I'm currently working on a more comprehensive program for coaches/trainers that will basically provide a boxing and nutrition curriculumn for trainers to use that will help with class planning and retention. Stay tuned and welcome to the site MickD. If there are any specific challenges you're having as a coach/trainer, be sure to let me know and I'll try and cover them.

I am currently taking Krav Maga. My membership gives me access to other classes like Muy Thai and Kickboxing/Boxing. I want to improve my stamina, as well as my boxing technique. My teacher said that you can kick all you want, but if you don't know how to punch, it won't do you any good. I also want to use the program to lose another 10 lbs and tone my body. My biggest problem is diet, and I'm sure you'll be able to help me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Progress Report for Ivan-drago as of 13 January 2013
I drink like 4-5 glasses of milk a day. and you know those KD kraft dinners? I eat a box of those 800 calories, 160g carbs, 28 g protein, BEFORE BED. Idk, i often think of ignoring cardio, but i can't cause it's vital to kick boxing. (I take kick boxing, I joined this site to see what it's like to be in a community that doesn't promote supplements like bodybuilding.com....

Boxing Nutrition
So what specifically that a boxer needs in their nutrition? Is zinc one of the most crucial component for a boxer? I've read at an article that it is one of the most important one that an active person needs and since boxing requires the movement of our entire body, do you think it is one of the required nutrients?

The Ins and Outs of Buying a Heavy Bag
Not really, although most of the bags I see have chains - just makes for a more secure anchor point. That said, if the straps are sturdy enough with good stitching to the bag itself and are made out of a super strong material, then there is no major issue with straps. The one thing I'd be hesitant about with straps is how they come together at the apex. Usually the chains meet up in the center of the bag and are attached to a ring that has a swivel on it allowing the bag to rotate underneath it. Without that, the bag might eventually wind itself up and then spin the other way when unwinding. Not a huge deal, but something to consider.
