Some basics in boxing to start off with -
The stance is really important, you need to have a good base like we say it’s like building a house if the foundations aren’t strong the house will fall down. To start with take a step back with the hand you use (right foot back if your right handed left foot back if your left handed) your legs should now be shoulder width apart. Make sure there is line in between your feet so the heel and the toe aren’t in line this is to help balance if your feet are in a straight line you will have no balance and won’t be able to throw a decent shot, a good way to check this is to imagine someone has a stick there needs to be enough gap to fit the stick between your feet.
Now that’s basically how your feet should be now moving to the upper part of the body you need to point your lead shoulder forward this is to reduce the target area and so you have more twist on your back hand, obviously you need to get your hands up now as anybody who’s ever watched any boxing or any boxing film its massively important to have your hands up, so first of all get your hands up by the side of your eyes make sure your elbows are tucked against your ribs it’s just as important to cover your body once you’ve been hit there you’ll realise why.
