Praticising boxing on wall?

Question

this may sound stupid. but say if you dont have the spacial and finanical requirements needed to set up a full home boxing workout area. Is it okay to target practise on the wall with boxing gloves?

oh and how does the ounces effect in boxing traning

Answer 1

Well i guess its okay if its a concrete wall, but if its just a normal wall it might not be such a good idea.

Answer 2

just make sure your neighbor doesn't bother

Answer 3

you could but its not a good idea~

i mean i like punching something where effect takes place, if u just punch a solid wall, nothings happening to the wall but you might break your fists or something lol~

Answer 4

if your a dumbass go ahead and punch the wall

Answer 5

yea I think it is feasible and NOT stupid but make sure you have health insurance

Answer 6

I wouldn't do it.  A punching bag or those stand up 1/2 men avatars have give to them that simulate what actually happens when you punch a person.  You will not develop true punching technique if you punch a wall.  You have to rotate at your waist, driving your fist through the target.  If you do this on a wall, you will do some severe damage to your shoulder.  In our gym we have a wall that has evenly spaced pads.  That is a better option if you lack space. The pads we have are about 4 feet long and 1/2 a foot thick.  You can use them for straight or body punches, but not for hooks.  As for ounces, I assume you are talking about glove size.  The higher the ounce, the harder it is to punch because your arms get tired.  Train with heavier gloves to build up your muscle and stamina.  In amateur boxing we (our club) practice punches and blocks on each other with 16oz gloves and fight with 10oz gloves. For repetitive punches, the additional padding protects your opponent as well as yourself.  In a fight, however, there is more movement and adrenaline so the 10oz gloves come into play.  Hope that helps.
