Sparring

[JSKBELGIUM]

I would concentrate on footwork, 3 sessions, or weeks is not going to make you a expert.

Blocking is easier than parrying, but they cant hit you if you are out of range.

Don't just focus on going backwards and forwards with you feet, move laterally, aka move or circle side to side when boxing.

Boxing is a lot like chess, or checkers, you can not expect to win the game if you do not exchange pieces.
He will hit you, you will hit him back, there is no way to avoid getting hit.

Also punches in bunches, always throw punches in 3's or 5's, eg Left, Right, Left.
The exception is the jab which is the most important punch in boxing, it is a feeler punch, it lets you check you range and keeps opponent off balance and on the defensive, if the jab lands flush/powerful follow that up with a straight right, then a left hook.
You can throw 1,2,3 jabs in a row, it does not have to land to be effective, but a missed jab can be easily followed up with a 2nd jab which lands.

Remember to keep your elbows down to protect the ribs.

Thank out for the advice, it was really helpfull. I've learned a lot now
I'd also want to add, that my sparring partners and trainer are pleased about my prestations and that I'm doing very well for only 2 weeks of boxing. My goal is to do some official fights when I'm ready, hopefully within the next 2 years. But I want to be fully ready for it.

Good luck, the more you practice the more you improve.

You never answered the question Jorn, regarding your dominant hand. It's kind of important when beginning, deciding stance.
