By Marylou Forbes


No matter where anyone would go in the world, he will see that boxing is one of the most well loved combat sports of all time. It is for this reason that a lot of people would want to take up boxing classes north London because it is both a good way to get in shape and learn some fighting skills. So if one would want to learn this fighting art, here are the things that will happen when he takes up lessons.

Of course like any sport, one has to make sure that his body is conditioned well otherwise he will not be able to move his body the way he wants to. He has to do a lot of strength exercises in order to build up his muscles and cardio exercises to build up his endurance. He has to do this so that his body will take all the boxing moves.

Now if one has already toned his body properly, then he will get his first boxing related lesson which is assuming a proper stance. Now if the boxer is right handed, then his stance will be left foot forward and right leg at the back. If the boxer is left handed then it will simply be the other way around.

Now that one has already learned the basic fighting stance, it is now time to learn the first punch. The first punch is the jab which is a light punch that uses the left hand and is often done to set up the boxer for bigger moves later on. It can also be used to measure and cover distance between him and the opponent.

The second attack is known as the cross and is usually done after the jab. Now the cross is a punch that would come from the hand that is at the back. The most common and effective combination in punching would be a lead hand jab and a back hand cross.

Now after learning the cross, one will then go on to more advanced punches. The first of the advanced punches would be none other than the uppercut which would aim for the solar plexus or the chin of the opponent. One does this by bending the leg and using the hind hand to deliver a blow from the ground to the ceiling.

The next advanced punch that one will be learning would be the hook which is the punch that would create most knock outs. Now this punch would be coming from the back hand and is done after a small jab. Now what makes this punch powerful is that it uses the entire twisting of the waist in order to throw a powerful blow.

So if one would want to become a boxer, these are the basic punches and moves that he would have to learn. Now there are a lot more things that have to be learned but these are the basics that have to be mastered first. Expect to have drills on these moves a lot in the first month of the lessons.
