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.
The inside drill will help you develop stamina and inside power. Get in close with uppercuts and hooks.
Evander Holyfield moved up from cruiserweight to heavyweight by employing a regimented program of weights and nutrition, to gain 30 pounds of muscle mass in only six months. He had less than 3 per cent body fat and was a well-muscled heavyweight champion.
Your son should practice his trusty right with father’s chin as target. Father drops his left to allow the right to come across, and blocks with his own right. See that your son snaps the right straight across with a lot of zip, and that he has his fist closed, chin down, shoulder up. Be sure he does not throw a “roundhouse” right.
Punching a light bag is fun. It is great exercise, and increases speed and coordination. Little boys pick up the knack very quickly after a minimum amount of practice. Fathers also find a punching bag excellent exercise, and unlike most exercises, they enjoy it
