Message: <blockquote data-quote="med stud" data-source="post: 131262" data-attributes="member: 1211">Ive trained some boxing and thai boxing for about four years, so I suppose I can give you some useful tips.1) If you have never punched seriously before, punch very light in the beginning, so you get the feeling. Otherwise you may hurt your wrists.2) If you dont mind bloody knuckles (or feel like hitting VERY light), get a pair of gloves.3) Try to keep the punches as straight as possible, that is as close to the mid line of the body as possible.4) Try to keep the guard at all times. What guard you like is up to which martial art you like, but the boxing guard is generally the most protective. This also strengthens your shoulders.5) Try to keep the punches as hard as possible without giving up too much speed. Do some combinations, some jabs and some flurries to vary the training.6) I try to keep up the feet movement all the time. Exactly how to position your feet is too complicated for me to explain without showing, but move so your punch is hard, but it should be easy to regain balance.
