Boxing 101 – The Interview


hi I’m Rekha Braden and welcome to
watchmojo.com if you want to float like
a butterfly and sting like a bee today
we’re getting some basic boxing tips
from sly Louis of underdog gym so what
kind of workout does boxing offer while
boxing offers a very fast or vascular
workout with strain component
flexibility it’s a pretty much a total
workout how long after I start will I
see a difference most of our members see
a difference after pretty much the first
month of training so who’s attracted to
boxing mostly teenagers were like I
think that’s they’re going to change it
in their lives so there’s like pain and
anger towards that so they need to
really externalize or catalyzed energy
for a beginner what kind of special
equipment might we need it’s a pretty
cheap sports all you need really pretty
much RN wraps and most of the time most
gym will learn like the boxing gloves so
you need an rats shorts a t-shirt so
what kind of special skills are involved
in boxing you have to control your
emotions you have to learn to know
yourself a whole lot to know what you
can and can’t do if you get hit it’s
really hard to stay focused on what you
have to do then it’s basic mo notion of
coordination be the strength so what’s
your background in boxing when I was
like 16 I was like pretty much a named
routine like many others so I started
boxing I box for two years back then and
about to the one year ago my old coach
told me he wanted to change his gym so I
said to try it fine location with a few
my friends and my brother and we opened
up the gym and then I started competing
about 10 months ago and it’s going
pretty good what kind of training do you
do before a fight you want to warm up
doing the motion to see motion you
you’ll be doing in the ring or if you’re
sparring and doing class what a good i’m
slowly then you speed it up you spend a
whole lot of time in front of the mirror
that’s the most important part of like
the workout it’s on the bit silly but
you really want to see what you look
like when you’re throwing punches when
you’re moving
then you do some bad work with your
coach I think we’ll do some bad would
figure after fat work you might spar
with someone else which is like you
recreate us a fighting situation so you
do a few rounds with that then you work
the bag a bit and that’s pretty much it
what do you say when people say boxing
is too violent a sport that’s life and
fighting is a part of our nature when
you’re one were kids what was play fight
it’s fun even people will sail boxing’s
dangerous it’s violent it’s the same
kind of people they go see if I don’t
want to see a knockout if I go see a
quiet I’ll be is yourself I just want to
see what happens that’s cool would you
consider boxing a form of Defense to me
it’s a form of expression it’s really
you could express what’s what’s within
you you can express like your character
when you’re fighting you really get to
know that person that’s why I often
after a fight you’ll see like two guys
we’re trying to rip your head off and
after the black hole there will be a
bell hug each other and they like all
warm so are there any myths about boxing
that we should dispel well pretty
popular one is that it’s often said that
women weaken legs so in preparation for
a fight often old skool trainers will
add the fighter not to have sex did you
know thank you very much
