What to do before joining a boxing gym(beginners)

What you should be working on physically before you join the boxing gym so you are bringing enough to the table to get the most out of your time in the gym!

The biggest thing I learned when sparring was you can be in great cardio shape but if you don’t do a lot of boxing specific workouts your shoulder endurance will fail you before your cardio haha

- Able to run 3 miles
- Work on Abs everyday
- Jumping rope every other day

My tip is just book your first session, don’t think about it. I booked mine. Didn’t think about it until I walked through doors at boxing gym on the day. That was around 5 years ago. Time goes so quickly before you know it you say u been boxing a year. Like look how quickly the last year went. So just pick up your phone and book it now. No excuses. If you wanna do something u find a way. If you don’t, u find an excuse

Here’s some advice before starting
- jog 2-3 miles
- skip 3 mins 30 second rest x 4
- do some press-ups
- relax and don’t take advice as critisim, you ain’t gunna get everything down in the first 2 mins, don’t stress if you haven’t got it mastered by the first session (no one expects you to be rocky)

Did 30 minutes of "boxing" training with my dad. Felt like I was gonna pass out afterwards. I was just hitting pads not even getting hit lol and I'm lighter than I have been but still it's so hard. That's why I love watching boxers because you have no idea how much stamina it takes to go 3 minutes let alone 12 rounds. Great advice bro

Deserves more views my guy. I like how he doesn't come off as arrogant but teach this as everyone has a chance 💯

Tip for beginners, just step in the Gym nothing will happen, you will learn everything with time and discipline 🖤🙏🏼

I went to my first boxing gym about 3 months ago and on my first day I passed out completely only from doing jump rope for 15~ minutes. When I came back around they got me on some bikes and I was able to get through an entire 2 and a half out beginner session. I’ve improved so massively in these past 3 months and I feel a lot better about my body and my physical strength than I did before. Highly recommend boxing gyms of all kinds would pass out again 10/10

As a coach for something completely unrelated I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Because you talked about 1) Uncommon Sense 2) Not doing what everyone else is doing 3) Basic Principles and you kept it very simple. Excellent video

Literally the worst thing I did before my first day of boxing training was that I wasn't at all active due to quarantine for 5 months and work. I put in a lot of pounds, and I just stopped on my vices just a day before my first training day. I thought I was gonna die from exhaustion just from my first round of shadow boxing. I've had intense training sessions when I was a basketball varsity, but nothing as taxing as a regular day in boxing training.
Bottom line my boys, you thought you are fit until you try boxing.

Is it me, or does coach have bigger forearms than biceps?!

[ninopatafio]

I’m never punching the heavy bag again only jump rope and abs and running that’s crazy thanks you for educating me man 🙏🏽💯

[devinsiegfried]

I'm an average athlete. I do around 8-12 hours of BJJ each week, and I start boxing tomorrow. I'm excited, especially since I don't have any striking training at all. I know it'll be a whole new world, so I'm glad that you've uploaded these tips. Can you do more, like what to expect in the gym or boxing etiquette?

I think it’s important to do sprints and calisthenics as well before entering the gym just so you can have an anaerobic and aerobic base as well as a base in strength. And good video ✊🏽

did this before getting into the gym for the first time (8 months ago) now im winning my first amateur fight, thank you coach

[dillonnorris]

I am in great physical condition, my job is very active, I workout 5-6 times a week, and my heart rate recovery is above average. However, my first 30 minute boxing workout consisting of 10 rounds of 2 minutes each with a 1 minute rest in between, I was destroyed. Boxing is a whole other level of cardio and takes a lot of muscle endurance too (mainly shoulders) I recommend newbies alternate between the orthodox stance and use the philly shell when they get tired to give their shoulders a chance to rest. Other than that good luck to ya!

I’ve been learning through YouTube vids and turns out I’m a quick learner and kind of a natural at it. I studied the techniques and even film myself to see if I have good form and if not I always change things and adjust. Haven’t joined a gym and took boxing lessons yet but when I do join I feel confident in myself and think I’ll progress a lot since it’s a huge passion of mines :)

[julianhernandez]

Thank you for this vid. I'm 39 and have been recently been thinking about getting in a boxing gym. There's one next to my reg gym and the trainer is a pro. This has been a big help bro. Thanks and God bless.
