Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing Personally I wouldn't recommend boxing. Yes, I've done it, but if you're looking for something very good, boxing is not really an alternative you should go for. This is for the following reasons.1. Boxing is highly rigid. You have to have a certain system that you have to follow. I have personally done a bit of boxing myself.2. All boxing is is broot force. You can get serious brain damage from boxing. In one case, don't remember the boxer, but one punched another boxer right on his head and he died as a result of brain injury. Also remember that a blind person facing a sited opponent is more a risk because he can't see, whereas a blind person against a blind person is more predictable.3. Boxing doesn't really teach you anything. For example, you have certain martial arts that teach you how to prevent a potential vollital situation from becoming a fight.4. Boxing has a lot of weaknesses, for example it doesn't cover ground to ground fighting. You train in a rigid system, then you suddenly find you have to defend yourself. Your opponent tries to grapple you, grab your legs, ressel you, you are going to be caught off guard because your brain has become too rigidised.You could do something like karate, kung fu, or you can even do something like sistima which is actually used by the Russian spetznas. I know Vasaleev has a school in the U.S, but there are many different kinds. Make sure to get a good instructre though.You could also do something like archery, swimming, horse riding, football, which are also enjoyable and fun.

Re: thinking of starting boxing you can also do judo, and jujitsu I think. those are two martial arts in which you maintain contact with the other person and use their own body weight against them or something like that.

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing What worked best for me was non-strike fighting, like judo and part of jujitsu. If you get a grip on somebody or the reverse, you are much easily able to counter since you know the position of the enemy. This also makes you get used to hearing the other's movement and develops your muscles and battle instincts. Once you get through that, you can try striking, too.

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing @9Well, like many contact sports it pays to workout in general, boxing tends to involve numerous muscle groups, both for attack and defense. Things like deltoids, neck, core muscles, upper body, calves, legs, cardio, etc. there's a breakdown [here], your mileage may vary. There's all kinds of stretching or exercise regimes around as well.

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing Well, I am not into boxing, but things like running, push ups, pull ups,balance exercises should help you quite a bit in training.As for running, developing stamina is important, push ups and pull ups will help strengthen your shoulders, balance, I guess you know.I found a detailed article which explains the answer to your question pretty well.Legs (Power)ALL power comes from the ground, nowhere else! Because your legs are connected to the ground, they are most responsible for pushing off the ground to generate power throughout your body. Your legs also happen to be the biggest muscles in your body, which is why all proper boxing punches are typically thrown with the legs pivoting and rotating.Again, the legs generate the most power! Not the chest and definitely not the triceps. If you look carefully at many of the most dynamic and complete punches or boxers in history, you will see that they have great legs more often than great arms or big chests.Hips (Balance & Lower Body Core)The hips hold your lower body and legs together. They also generate a huge amount of power by pivoting your whole body when you need. Another important function is that your hips have to do with how well you are balanced. Since your hips are very close to your body's center-of-gravity, stronger hips would mean that you have better control of your balance. Balance is definitely one of the most important factors in boxing. Balance essentially determines the effectiveness and efficiency of your offense, defense, movement, and overall fighting ability!You can also think of your hips as your body weight. By using the muscles in your leg to move your hips with every punch, you will be able to put your entire body weight into each punch maximizing its power.Abs (Frontal Body Core & Snap)The abdominal muscles are a very powerful set of muscles that hold your whole body together. Every limb in your body generates a certain amount of power individually but it is your abs that allow you to combine the force generated by every limb into one total force. Simply put, your abs allow you to connect the force generated by all your limbs into one powerful punch. Aside from connecting your whole body together the abdominal muscles help you breathe and allow you to take frontal body shots.Back (Rear Body Core & Punch Recovery)The back also funtions as a total body core muscle by holding your body together and combining the power generated by all your limbs. Another little known (BUT VERY IMPORTANT) fact is that the back helps a lot in punch recovery–which is the speed of how fast you can pull your hand back after a punch.Many fighters are too busy building the front of their upper body through push-ups and punching at the heavybag but very few of them focus on building up the back of the upper body like the rear shoulders and the back.When you spend all your time hitting the heavy bag, you may not realize that the heavy bag is bouncing your hand back at you on the recovery phase. By neglecting to workout your back and rear shoulder muscles, you will have weaker punch recovery muscles. The moment you start missing punches during a real fight, your arms will tire very quickly because your gloves become very heavy as you have to pull your punches back with your own muscles instead of having them bounced back at you.Shoulders (Arm Endurance)The shoulders are most important for punch endurance. Yes, the shoulders do generate power and snap for the punches, they are most important for endurance. Typically when boxers' arms become too tired to punch or hold up to defend their head, it is usually because the shoulders that are tired! Think about it: when your arms get tired, it is usually always the shoulder that is the first part of the arm to get tired. From a physical standpoint, it makes sense since it's a relatively small muscle on the edge of the arm that has to hold up the entire arm. From a physics standpoint, its not hard to see why the shoulder can get tired so fast.So if you want to be able to throw more punches and hold your hands up for a longer amount of time, you better start training your shoulders for endurance. Don't worry about making the shoulders stronger, they only add small amounts of punching power compared to the leg muscles.Arms (Power Delivery, Speed & Snap)The arms are all about power delivery! By power delivery, I mean that the arms most important boxing function is to connect the power to the opponent. The arm is not responsible for generating power, that's what you have your legs for. All your arms need to do is to connect the power generated by your body to your opponent!So all your arms really need to do is to just reach out and touch your opponent, nothing else! Now that you realize your arms are meant for connecting punches and NOT generating power, you'll see that it's more important to have fast arms than powerful arms. Fast arms give you that speed and snap. The

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing @7Regarding vibration, I think that would be more circumstantial. Boxing and wrestling rings are elevated platforms for people to fight one on one, so depending on how they move it could cause vibrations one might feel in the floor.

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing @5, part of Krav Maga is striking... so it's not entirely hands on. It covers a multitude of ranges.Speaking as someone who does actively practice martial arts, mainly Aikido and occasionally Krav Maga, it is very doable. I don't know about feeling vibrations... that's something I've only seen work in daredevil. But definitely hearing footsteps or the rustling of cloth, or listening to your opponent's breathing, gaging your opponent's distance with non commited attacks, thinking several moves ahead, always knowing where your opponent is in relation to yourself or as close to an idea as possible, and keeping a solid defense in place. Those are all things that make practicing striking or any martial art that requires distance much less impossible than the initial impression may seem. Most martial artists who practice and spar at a high level will tell you that a great deal of the time, they aren't looking anyway except to see where their opponent is and to read tells. Sight isn't what lets people block the attacks, sight lets you know where they are, and tips you off where they might attack from. We have alternatives that work just as well. Once you see a punch coming, it's too late to block it, whatever you might read in books. This applies to both unarmed and weapons combat, at least in the halfway freeform weapons work that I practice as part of Aikido.

Re: thinking of starting boxing
Re: thinking of starting boxing Hm, there are a few articles about blind boxers about so it can definitely be done, such as [here], [here], [here], and [here]. There seem to be a few techniques they use, such as listening for the scuffling of footsteps, feeling vibrations, positioning, etc. Keeping your guard up and using proprioception for contacts to gauge and "lock" on to the position of your target for a more powered strike, or testing where a person may be with small jabs before committing, etc.@2Hitting below the belt in boxing is against the rules.
