How To Box?

Alright, I just tried out boxing and I got my ass kicked. It felt like I was just standing there getting punched, and really couldn't do much. I got like 1 decent hit in, but that's about it. He got 20 hits in before I went down, so I can take pain to an extent. I need all tips on every view of boxing, I have no idea what to do at all. Also, what are some good workouts to help improve my boxing skills, that can be done at home?

 

Bump, need help ASAP

 

Try watching videos on YouTube. I don't know anything about boxing but I'm sure I could learn a thing or two by watching videos online.

 

Boxing is as much about speed as it is about strength, fitness is also key. Try doing plenty of cardio work, to keep you sharp in the ring. I wouldn't advise specific work-outs yet, as you seem like a bit of a rookie, try full-body work outs . There are plenty of guides around on YouTube, those will build up some decent strength and allow you to go on to specific work outs that target good areas for you, in relation to boxing, e.g. arms, core.
Core work outs are very important, if you have a weak core, you will find it difficult in any sort of fight, whether boxing or whatever, look up some good core work outs.
By the way, there is no quick fix, don't think you can suddenly become superman and beat up everyone, it'll take hard work and patience. Also, where abouts did you 'try out' boxing? Was it at a boxing club, because if it is, im sure they can provide you with some advise on what to do.

 

I already play football, and run 2 miles a day without a break, and do pushup claps or whatever they're called daily, so I'm fairly in shape. Going to youtube, pretty sure I'm getting the hang of it. Boxing is definitely not one of those things you can learn overnight, L.

 

Before I even start. I have 2 years of experience with boxing. Honestly, try to find a boxing club near where you live. Find a trainer who knows what hes doing, and see if you can get private lessons. Ask him different exercises you could do to increase your speed, stamina,agility. When i use to box, i constantly practiced footwork and handwork. For footwork, Jump ropes are an extraordinary way of improving this. ( This is why you see them doing it in the movies, it actually works) Look for videos on the different styles of improving agility by jumping rope...High knees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RonckxBae4M , switching feet back and forth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tolk40edTFo . Their is ways of improving handwork as well. If you have a bag do different combinations, 1.1.2.2,1
Jab, jab cross. Jab jab cross uppercut. hooks,etc.

Youtube exercises for improving hand speed.

 

I am totally agree with"Try watching videos on YouTube. I don't know anything about boxing but I'm sure I could learn a thing or two by watching videos online."

 

Do boxing lessons... if you went to a boxing class and you got into a spare in the first lesson, go to a different one.
