boxing theory

[Chris Nagel]

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...

[Youngblood]

ahh k, I got ya. Well Chris is the man to see. Surprisingly, I am interested in so many things physics and science related and forever reading and looking them up, and just realized now seeing your post, the one area I haven't bothered to consider it more is boxing, where it'd actually be most applicable to me . lol

Maybe I'm dumb.

no more like most boxers just honing your craft. on a side note i have noticed that in the Wash. D.C. area, the trainers for the amateurs are not all that professional. my interest isn't in pro level training anyway, too involved i like working the pads with the thai guys esp when they are new, they like all the different combo's i can feed them and mine tend to be different because i add a lot of the stuff boxers would use

I know that bro. Sarcasm is one of my favorite hobbies too ;-) I never take offense.

I think the worse thing a trainer can do is to have a set way and expect every fighter to adapt to that way.

Aside from saftey,stretching and the other more set patterns in training (that all vary to suit the fighter): a great trainer should be able to see the gifts that each fighter brings naturally and will tune those gifts in and sharpen up those natural talents so they outweigh any inherent weakness.

great Andre, thanx and i agree, i have seen soo many trainers train each fighter the same way, i agree initially using a two hands up guard is a good idea, but for some later the philly shell may be useful or an archie moore type guard. i do think a lot of drills can be used for everyone to develop attributes but putting the attributes of any given boxer at the forefront is an art

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.

training gained from internet only= getting someone hurt. not my intent. l am also wondering if there are any cutmen or guys that work corners on this board

[Chris Nagel]

Scrap might know a thing or too.

ok and thanx
