WATCH: Boxing Science Education – Foundation Level Review
On Sunday 6th March we delivered the first Boxing Science Education Workshop in Liverpool.
A group made up of boxers, coaches and personal trainers took part in the Foundation workshop, consisting of theoretical and practical workshops on movement, strength and fitness training for boxing.
A fantastic day with a great group, asking questions and eager to learn. We took them through the foundations that need to be set when introducing a boxer to sport science practices
Strength and Movement Training for Boxing
Science behind the punch
We shared the science behind what makes a forceful punch and the methods used to punch faster and harder
Movement training for boxing
