How can i learn to Box if the only trainer who showed some kids i know just closed and there is no one else?

Question

This guy just closed his gym and he was a great trainer and boxed one of my old friends for a while and well we arent the best of friends but i go to all of his street fights ( no gloves ) and he hasnt lost a fight and he takes people twice his age and his strength and i want to take boxing but there is no one in my area who teaches it anymore. What should i do?

Answer 1

Try picking up some books, videos, and fight tapes. I first learned a little something from just watching my favorite fighters. I then ran into guys at my job that had semi-pro backgrounds that showed me some stuff. First, try doing a boxer's work out like running, jumping rope, and running in place in a hot sauna for short periods of time (that gives you some good stamina). Also try gyms like 24 hour fitness that have boxing and kick boxing classes if you can pay the monthly fee. Moslt local fitness gyms also have bags and teachers because boxing, mma, and kick boxing are very hot right now. Buy a portable bag and practice punching it with 10 sets of 100 punches. I am only speaking on what worked for me but maybe it will help.

how do you know if there are no more boxing trainers in your area? What area do you live in? maybe you will need to travel a little bit to get to a boxing gym not exactly in your area but near by. try going to boxinghelp.com if you live in the US

also try searching on google
