The Raven Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 is there alot of "behind the scenes fitness" involved? I used to go three times a week 1 hours each time. Mostly broke down to this 15 minute warm up (running star jumps sit ups ect) 30 minutes of pad work 15 of sparing. Just remember when u punch the power comes from your leg up to your hip and then swing. Give it a go im sure after a few weeks you will love it.

Give it a go im sure after a few weeks you will love it. is it nearly all techneque? (sp) size dont really matter? and can you explain that a bit more?

Al Massey Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 yep mostly technique but you need a hell of alot of stamina and what he means is to get ful power potential out of a punch you dont swing your whole arm to get speed, you use your body to channel the power from you leg to your arm and then their face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 it's a really good sport for fitness, just be wary of what your job entails though as seeing customers with a bashed up face wouldn't go down too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 i dont have to deal with any people in my job so its cool, ma45ey, how long roughly do you think it is before entering the boxing club to sparing with someone? i take it you have head gear for sparing?

hiten55 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Or try Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu...It's rather good. Won't get you as fit as boxing though! go for Kamon wing chun - really aggressive but alot of fun. gets you fitter too. they believe in the "if you get into a fight, make sure you come out of it in a position to walk away" school of thought i.e. make sure the other guy doesnt get up - and believe me, they way they teach you -he wont. i did a month of it (had to stop due to work etc) and i was surprised how much i learnt. definitely be going back to it though. was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great, till you get hit. I dont take punches very well and got winded. It sucked. You get fit though. Trick is doing something you can sustain more or less over your life.
