Even though most of the sports in the society are becoming increasingly contact-free, a kind of a revival has been seen in one of the oldest and the most physical of all contact sports in Great Britain. As an article on EscapeFitness.com recently pointed out, boxing has made a comeback and not only in the roughest gyms.
Many fitness centres, such as Gorton club in Gorton, Manchester have made boxing not only popular, but their main attraction. Called First Box stations, these areas of the gym will often contain a boxing ring, speedballs, punching bags and loads of eager young athletes ready to test their mettle.
The point to boxing is simple: however to stop the event from becoming an all-out brawl and keep it a real sport, some gyms have became part of OUTBOXTM, which is the only boxing qualification for health and fitness staff that has been accredited by the British Boxing Board of Control. These trainers also steer possible warriors away from the ring and have them focus on classes emphasizing technique, safety and the positive physical aspects of boxing.
Even though classes are designed keeping the needs of men and women in mind, many training centres are also offering individual women-only classes. Additionally, as the class improves, the physical demands increase. As with all sports, you have to invest your time, devotion and attention: however it will reward you.
Frequently the First Box stations are placed in the centre of the gymnasium so that other athletes can observe the activity while working out, creating more awareness of and curiosity about this sport. To promote group exercise, workout stations combine bags and speed balls for use by several athletes at a time. As well as the traditional jump rope, adequate room is provided for jogging.
Boxing is an incredible sport, working the whole body in both muscle development and endurance. It places emphasis on flexibility, control, stamina and pacing as well as speed and strength. Boxing can give a really demanding workout when done properly.
