Kiwi Sport | Boxing

This week Thursday we had our first session of Boxing. Today in this kiwi sport session we learnt positioning, and two types of punches. First we learnt the 3 commandments which are respect, discpline and safety. These the three things we needed to have in the boxing lessons. We went over a little bit about boxing before putting on thing gloves and then putting on boxing gloves. The first thing we learnt, was our boxing postition which is how we stand when boxing. To do this we start by standing front, right leg out, then right leg back. We also had to bend our knees a little so we were balanced. Then with our upper body, we hold tight so we are firm and with our hands (boxing gloves), we the knuckles over our face so we are secured. This was called rock position. Then In this stance, we learnt the Jab which is basically a quick punch that we did with our left hand. We also practised doing the jab two times in one go. The next punch we learnt was a basic punch with our right hand. Since our right leg was back, our right hand was a little back too so we had to twist our body to punch. After getting that, we did a combo of "Jab, Punch, Jab" and "Jab, Jab, Punch". Once we learnt these basic boxing moves, our lesson was finished. We took our boxing gloves and gloves off and recapped the 3 commandments and the things we did today. We said goodbye to Paxs who was our coach, and went back to class.
