5 Sparring Tips For Beginners

What's up guys in this video I go over 5 sparring tips for beginners! I go over the equipment you need before sparring. It's important to have this gear in order to make sparring as "safe" as possible. BOXING IS A DANGEROUS SPORT. Yes there is a time where you may not use some of the gear for example leading up to a fight I tend to have a couple sparring sessions without headgear just so I get comfortable with not wearing one. BUT! This video is intended for beginners so please WEAR YOUR GEAR! The 5 tips are: #1 Wait until you are truly ready-- it's exciting to jump in the ring and throw punches at someone but you need to learn the fundamentals first I've seen so many people think boxing is simple and all you have to do is be strong and throw punches but that's only a fraction of what you really need to know when it comes to boxing #2 Bring your hands back to your face-- Common mistake I see beginners (and non beginners) make is dropping their hands as soon as they throw a punch it's important to bring them back in order to defend a counter be mindful of your hand placement after you punch! #3 Don't fall in love with a single punch-- Starting off you may feel you have a dominant punch (most likely your cross) but it's important to practice a variety of punch if you are sparring an experienced boxer and you keep repeating a punch he or she will identify that and counter so mix up your punches! #4 RELAX!--This means relax your body also your emotions. This is boxing you are going to get hit there is no need to get angry it is part of the sport if you lose your temper chances are you will make more mistakes. Also relax physically the more tense you are the more tired you will get. #5 Don't hold your breath-- another common mistake I see beginners make is hold their breath DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH this will fatigue your much quicker. That is why you hear boxers punch and make "SHHH" noise they are breathing out as they punch.
