Boxing training is not only good for boxers, It is dynamic, demanding, greatly improves strength and endurance, and shapes the body. It is worth watching how boxers train. They train like this for a reason.


Basics of boxing training


In the ring, it is not only your striking strength that is important, but also your footwork, agility, coordination of movement, and speed. If you want to improve these qualities, train like a boxer.


At home or at the gym, you can apply basic boxing training, of course without sparring with a partner by using some purpose-built equipment, like our Punchbag Wall Bracket, KSH008 and KSH008/2

Correctly landing blows, timing and movement like a boxer requires learning the right techniques. It is worth spending a lot of time on this and ideally, get the help of a trainer or partner. In general though, it turns out that boxing punches and striker are often performed completely differently than we may have thought.

If you like boxing training, and enjoy taking out the stress of the day a wall mounted bag, but, feel like at same time you want to engage your legs more, the next stage may be investigating kickboxing or Thai boxing. Either way, the right equipment is essential.

A tough, robust punch bag is only half the answer as without a proper wall-mounted or ceiling mounted bracket, you can’t deliver your full power to the bag and may end up damaging the wall, or injuring yourself.


Skipping rope


An item well known to every boxer, a skipping rope allows you to significantly improve coordination of movement, jumping and endurance.


Training mat


A comfortable mat made of foam, often consisting of puzzle like pieces that you can combine with each other, is useful for exercising the abdominal muscles and push-ups without unnecessary strain and abrasion. It absorbs your weight as you exercise, so you do not risk damaging the floor, or yourself during training.


Punching bag

You don't have to buy it right away, but if you enjoy incorporating boxing into your training you may find out quickly that a bag is essential. All you need is a pull-up bar or training bars. Many of our accessories have a special holder for hanging the bag.

Check out our website for our full range of pull-up bars, wall mounted brackets and more to suit your training needs.


Dumbbells

Weights will be useful for strength exercises, which are part of boxing training.


Mirror

It is not sports equipment, but it is quite useful when we practice striking and can show weaknesses in our forma and footwork.



Essential elements of boxing training

Shadow Boxing - an essential part of your training. It may look funny, because you are imagining a fight with a non-existent opponent and taking various blows, using dodges and countering appropriately, but, If you've never practiced this way, use your imagination, create an opponent in your head and fight them. Don't worry if anyone is looking at you, you’re training for you, not them

Jump rope exercises - the best form of leg training. It greatly improves endurance and gives lightness to your movements. Training with a skipping rope is essential if we are to move dynamically, lightly, and rhythmically.

Exercises with a punching bag - with its help we can work on the strength of the blows, the speed of the blows, and dynamic combinations. If you decide to work with a bag, gloves will be necessary. Without them, you increase the risk of injury and often hold back.

Strength exercises - push-ups, squats, pull-ups. In boxing training, there will be a place for many exercises to improve the strength of individual muscles.

Exercises for the abdominal muscles - this is of course also a form of strength training, but it is worth paying special attention to them. Strong abdominal muscles are essential for a boxer. They provide armor that protects against impact and help generate rotational force for wider strikes.
