Knockdown is a loss.

Maybe I should have called these books small boxing notes and ideas.
Because it looks more like a notebook made of notes thinking about boxing
and learning about boxing.


Don't forget that actual boxing is most important
 Sparring
 Shadow boxing
 Mitt work
 Bag and heavy bag work

Normally you train both stamina, speed and power while boxing
Here and there you could focus only on one or two things
 This can show talent and make you a certain type of fighter,
 specialising in for example stamina, speed or power.
But even though some people specialise you need all three
to be a good fighter


When it comes to stamina, speed and power you have
-Allrounders
-fighters that specialise or are very good in two fields
-Spcialists
 Stamina fighters
 Speed fighters
 Power fighters

Small tips against stamina, speed or power fighters
 If you fight a power fighter try and not get hit
 -This means don't really get hit or get a direct hit by his hardest punch.
 If you fight a speed fighter and you can't hit him drive him in to a corner
 If you fight a stamina fighter don't waste your energy


Tip against rushing opponents and what the hardest punch is to walk in to;
 The direct punch
 Forward momentum to forward momentum makes the biggest collision
Punching tips against bobbing and weaving
 The uppercut comes the hardest when he goes down
 The hook comes the hardest when he moves to the hook punch
 The downard hook or the downward direct punch (''pummeling'')
 works best if he goes up
Timing and observation is key


The dash punch or momentum punch
Can only be done if there is enough space
Can be dangerous if you walk in to a punch
It's done by making a very small dash or something more like a ''hop''
where the rear leg comes forward and then the front leg moves forward when the
rear leg touches the ground again and then when the front foot is placed the punch is made
Note that the punch is made ready during the dash or hop
This is not a pivot punch

Two types of competetive fighters:
Knock out fighters:
 Wins by knock outs
 or strives to win by knock out
Point fighters:
 Wins by points
 Strives to win by points
 Some times outsmarting the opponenent

A couple of more boxing styles:
Tank style (self made style):
 Very defensive style with a very good gaurd
 Throws heavy punches with precision and the right timing
 Waits and strikes at the right time
 Can be combined with countering
  treis not to waste energy
 A very hard and powerfull power punch
 Can take punches and power punches to the gut
-Power and brute force
Search and destroy style(self made style):
 Observerses the opponement and is defensive at first
 Seeks out the opponenents weaknesses and openings
 Also creates weaknesses and openings
 Uses the right timing to achieve knockouts
-Power and observation

Fighters can be:
Attacking
Slighty attacking
Balanced
Slightly defensive
Defensive
Some fighters change their tactic acording to the fight


An interesting boxing exercise:
Make a line with rope from one side to the other side
at around the lowest part of the ear to around chin height
Stand on one side of the rope and by ducking and moving to the other side move to the other
side of the rope and repeat this
-Use footwork to go from one side to the other side
Use foot work to get faster
Later counters can be made by punching in between reps
Another way to do this is by letting some one hold his arms up
extended at the right height
