Improve Your Boxing | Sparring Vs Mitt Work

Whats up guys! SO, what's better... Sparring or Mitt Work?! In boxing and any combat sport there are several different types of training. In this video, I focus on sparring and mitt work for boxing and which type of training helps you improve your boxing skills faster. If you're new to boxing let me clarify both. Sparring is when two fighters are wearing protective gear such as headgear, groin protector, mouth piece, gloves etc. and are attacking and defending (closest thing to a live fight). However, there is no winner or loser yes you may get the better of your opponent but it is not recorded or sanctioned so it is for training purposes only. Don't get it twisted, sparring is DANGEROUS and can be harmful to your health so please always sparring under the supervision of a boxing coach. Okay, what is mitt work? Mitt work is the fancy stuff you see boxers and coaches do. Coaches are wearing focus pads and already have a chosen combination they want to work with. For example, coach may call out 1-2-3-2 or jab-cross-hook-cross and the boxer throws those exact punches while the coach catches them on the mitts. Both mitt work and sparring are important! Mitt work is great for beginners wanting to learn boxing fundamentals and proper technique under the guidance of a coach. Beginners shouldn't jump straight into sparring without any prior experience, again boxing is a dangerous and potentially fatal sport. If you have been boxing for a bit then sparring is the next step if you're started out I recommend sparring twice a week. If you're more experienced then you can bump it up to 3 times a week. Now if you are a professional fighter or an amateur with many fights then I would emphasize sparring because it is the closest thing to an actual fight.
