Forget about kickboxing, muay thai and just straight out fitness training... Boxing fitness will sky rocket your self defense skills and endurance you'll need to defend yourself against a street attack. So let me tell you exactly why... 1.

Stop and go training is proven in scientific studies to get you results faster. Taking your fitness level to new heights super quick is the attraction of boxing fitness...

Boxing fitness focuses on upper body strength... great for self defense. 3. Boxing fitness teaches you how to fight Boxing fitness routines and exercises teach you how to defend yourself.

Boxing fitness will teach you how to dance The exercises and training in rounds require you to move your feet. For example, a great heavy bag workout for self defense is to punch around the bag. Work around the boxing bag... Hit the sides, middle, top, and give the punching bag some knees. Hook punches are strong and are vital for self defense. Hooks are effective for hitting someone in the kidneys and face... A proper punch will stun an attacker. By moving around the heavy bag you'll build endurance and gain confidence in your feet movements... Absolutely necessary for self defense. For defending yourself, I can't stress enough the usefulness of boxing fitness. In my opinion, it is the #1 tool for defending yourself against a street attack, at a night club and for gaining uber confidence.
