KnuckleUp Boxing Tips

• Knuckleup boxing instructors offer some tips for members competing in this week's sparring league competition!

  • Keep your chin tucked, lead shoulder shrugged, elbows in, hands up, knees slightly bent, and feet at shoulder width.
  • If you stay out of your opponent's reach, you'll always find him/ her out of your reach.
  • Read your opponent's hips. When a hip comes towards you, it's usually an indication that something is coming from that side. On the same point, your hips are your power source. Use your hips for power when throwing punches.
  • Relaxation is important for speed. Don't tighten your fist up until your arm is almost fully extended.
  • Conceal the shift of weight in your combinations.
