boxing theory

[iceman]

i want to glean as much possible knowledge on boxing theory as i can, i feel i got a start, but that is just the beginning. i would hate to throw a fighter to the wolves or worse miss something or make a fighter worry about anything other than fighting.

Are you talking about coaching fighters!?

no more for my own continuing education on boxing, i would teach muay thai before boxing....that's my stronger suit...thanx for the vote of confidence Andre.... but i want a more concise clollection of the physics of boxing,which is very dif. from muay thai.

To be fair iceman, it was a pretty big broad question. Doubt you'll get a whole lot out of one thread or a few posts. Rocky had good advice, and Chris has put a lot of work into that section, providing lots of reference stuff, great timeless posts, books, articles. You'll get a ton more out of going to those links in that section I'd think.

When it comes to specifics then this is the place for opinion, and even then Chris still hooks people up with specifics from there.

oh no doubt. i forget sarcasm doesn't translate here i MEANT no disrespect was joking for Andre...but yeah i was hopeing on some book type reference on phisics of pure boxing and the science behind it...

Alright, but we just want to make sure that you're not planning to train somebody solely based on the information of this board. It's a big responsibility, and not one to be taken lightly.
I recommend reading this thread first: http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...-coaching.html

Besides that, if you're looking for the theory side of boxing, that is how to think and box smart, I recommend reading Thomas Tabin's posts. Greynotsoold has a lot of excellent posts on the logistics of boxing, and Andre and Scrap give a different angle of looking at things. There are a lot of good contributions by many of the posters here, so it's always good to browse. You never know what you might find.

Also be sure to check out the free ebook thread, the Haislet book is a really good how-to book, the Jack O'Brien book has a lot of good information as well.

If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Always stick to the basics.. boxing is way too practical but the theory part of it keeps you from getting caught off guard. "Always Protect your self at all times"
"Move Your Head"..."Your Defense is your best Offense" "Go To the Bank"
.."Bob...Weave" all words said don't mean you are a boxer or will box.
All in All if you are not the boxer you can never know what really goes on in the boxers mind as soon as the bell rings"
