Kiwi Sport | Boxing

This week for Kiwi Sport we had another session of Boxing with Pax. In this session we learn two other punches and forward and backward. First we put on our gloves and then boxing gloves, and go over the rock position and our other punches from last week, jab, cross. We did this by getting in a circle and repeating the punch we did after we preformed it. Then we got into a pare and chose who was partner one and partner two. Each partner, depending on their number, had to line up on either one of the two lines. We first learnt the Hook. For this we twist from in our rock position, and lift back to punch in a curve. Our elbows had to be lined up with the glove and then put them back by our Jaw after we punched. We always reset in our rock position after punching, or doing a combo because it is our safe place. We also learned to catch the punched by putting our boxing arm out for the same hand they punch with. Then we learnt the Uppercut. We do the same twist, but push our hand up to the height of where are eyes are. To catch the uppercut we had to put both arms out to our partners eye height. Then we learnt to move back and forward in our rock position. If we move back, our back leg moves back first then our forward leg moves back. If we are moving forward, our front leg goes first and then our back legs moves forward. We practised doing this with our partners. The ideal length between two boxers are the length of our arms lined up. After practising everything, we re-capped what we did and said goodbye to Pax to go back to class.
