Boxing for Self Defense
I am interested in learning boxing for self defense.
Is it hard for someone with no fighting experience to learn how to box?
How effective is boxing in a real confrontation, and how hard is it to learn?
Where do I go now to find out more?
Boxing is good for self defense its effective because it shows you how to punch how footwork affects your punching power and speed. If its hard to learn depends on how much effort you put into it.
I agree, boxing is great for self defense learn to use range, footwork and proper punching mechanics. But its only one piece of the puzzle. If you want a complete self defense skill set, you’ve got to learn basic ground fighting, and most importantly how to get back to your feet once knocked down.
Not sure how true it is but I’m told that martial artists only fear boxers as they get up again.
I think it’s because they are more used to being hit.
