This week for kiwisport we have been doing boxing. Our coach was Pax Patel. She first told us how she became into boxing and she told us that whenever you are in that ring you need to be confident and give your 100% on the ring and also in training. How she won her boxing games was because she turned up to training all the time and gave her all.
Pax gave us 3 Commandments, they are
Respect
I will have respect for myself, my coach, my peers and the sport of boxing.
Discipline
I will have the discipline to turn upto every boxing session and give my 100%.
Safety
I will not cause harm to others and only practise boxing in a safe environment under the guidance of a coach.
So first we put the boxing gloves on but before that we had put on the liners, it holds the sweat in it since you can't wash a boxing gloves but you can wash liners.
First we had learnt our stance, your stance is vital in boxing. Your stance holds your body and keeps you from tumbling over. We had called our stance a ROCK. We called it a rock because rocks don't move. So we had to pretend that we were on a train track, we put our right leg back a step and lossend gravity. By doing that we had just dropped a bit and bend our knees.
Our gloves had to touch our cheeks and our elbows protect our belly.
Then we had learnt the punches. They were Jab & Cross. Jab is with your left hand it is straight out. Cross is right hand, straight out, turn hips, and your right heal lifts up. We had to practise each of them.
