Advanced Performance Boxing Course
Last Saturday was the first Advanced Boxing course in London. It was a great day of training. I had the help of two fine boxers in Rocky Dean and Shanee Martins, Rocky has just retired from boxing were as Shanee, is dew to have a World title fight in Beijing. After the introductions we got straight to it, with Rocky and Shayne demonstrating the advanced padding techniques that would be learnt though out the course. with 2 excellent 3 minute rounds of how to move your client around and get the most out of each punch.
We started off with footwork how to improve a client’s movement, Rocky, and Shanee had some great little drills for improving footwork, which helped massively. It was good to see everyone had been practicing there boxing and pad work, you could defiantly see an improvement in peoples padding techniques from the first course.
After lunch, Rocky demonstrated how to use the heavy bag and the reasons for using the bag, everyone had a go, then we put different punching combinations into rounds on the bag, so show the different usages for the bags, every one of the guys really put it in, 5 2 minute rounds on the heavy bag isn't easy I can tell you but the did it on top of everything we had gone thought in the morning.

We got the assessments out of the way, it was time to have some fun, Rocky holding the pads shouting which shots to be thrown, pushing the guys right to the end of the course, everyone defiantly came away with a better understanding of being a good pad technician, and a really good workout.
Thank's guys for a great first Advanced Performance boxing course

I actually thought this course was to teach participants on various aspects of making their classes safer, not for making the ex boxers feel as though they where still in the ring and to show off to fitness individuals that want to jump on the band wagon and become wanabee boxers.
