Boxing practice - The Mighty Boosh - BBC comedy
Each father at some time or other during the “growing” years of his sons sees fit to instruct his protégés in the art of self-defense or amateur boxing.
One of the most important things a dad can teach his son is “how to make a proper fist,” in order to avoid future hand injuries. We all know how a painful thumb or finger injury results when a baseball or football strikes the wrong part of the hand.
Rapid Weight Loss is extremely harmful to a boxer. Training required for fight preparation is difficult, stressful and demanding. The body is weakened by rapid weight loss because it is being starved of essential nutrients. Rushing pound loss will make it far more difficult to achieve maximum performance. Proper dieting consists of sound nutrition and allowing plenty of time to reach the desired weight goal.
After you have properly trained yourself (preferably the night before giving son a lesson), teach him the same procedure, hitting the open hand with the closed right fist, and stressing the proper points of a “right” and “wrong” fist. Then reverse the procedure, holding the right hand open and hitting the palm with the left fist.
It is true that the average youngster in making a fist without being properly taught, will fold his thumb inside his closed fingers. For some unknown reason he has the feeling his thumb becomes better protected in this manner. This is the surest way to sprain, dislocate, or even break the second thumb joint. Boys also make the mistake of allowing the thumb to stick up instead of properly curling the thumb over the closed fist. Impress this upon your son.
It is surprising how many boys grow to college age without even having been taught how to hit properly. Hence if the father gets no point across to his son other than the proper care of his hands, he has done a good job. A boy who is taught the proper fundamentals at an early age has a distinct advantage over others.
If he chooses to box in high school, college, or in amateur boxing, he has a head start on the beginner. The coach will not have to break any unorthodox or bad boxing habits he has acquired by himself.
Outside drills develop staying power and footwork. Make sure you circle in both directions. Throw your combination and then move quickly. Jab and circle, and throw your straight punches and jabs in combination’s.
Circle the opposite way of the way that comes most naturally to you. To develop change-up ability, endurance and coordination, mix in combination’s and throw jabs
