If you're trying to learn how to box, then you've found out for yourself
that there aren't too many people just handing out beginner boxing tips.
Additionally, when you're boxing training at home, you can't learn from
someone else's example and you certainly don't have any coaches around.
Before you get too frustrated – or worse, too sloppy with your form –
learn from these three beginner boxing tips.

1. It all starts in the mirror: Shadow boxing is an integral part of a
boxing training workout. Don't start on the heavy bag until you're
confident that you have down some basic techniques in the mirror. Watching
yourself throw punches in the mirror will help you learn the proper form
for your feet, legs, arms and body and you'll be able to instantly spot
weaknesses or flaws. Start every one of your boxing training at home
sessions with a round or two of shadow boxing.

2. Master the jab: A classic boxing saying is that if you want to be a
good fighter, don't bother with learning how to jab, but if you want to be
a great fighter, that's where you need to begin. The jab is what brings
everything together and sets up your other punches. When used correctly
it's both an offensive and defensive weapon. It can be used merely as a
distraction or as an impactful weapon all on its own.

To learn the jab, stand in front of a full length mirror in a guarded,
ready boxing position. Step forward with your lead foot and at the same
time flick your lead arm straight arm. The key to getting the jab done is
the succinct nature of the step and the arm movement. As you become
comfortable with that, begin stepping quicker and throwing the punch
harder.

3. Improve your conditioning: One of the most overlooked beginner boxing
tips is that you need to get your conditioning at a higher level. It's not
the most glamorous side of boxing training at home, but it's absolutely
necessary. You can't learn how to box if you're too tired to throw a punch
or use proper form!

To help improve your conditioning right from the beginning, spend two or
three rounds jumping rope at the start and end of every workout. If you
don't have a jump rope, spend the time doing jumping jacks. Additionally,
when you're using the heavy bag keep pushing yourself with a goal for each
and every round.

For example, a goal for one round can be to throw nothing less than four
punch combinations. A goal for another round can be to throw no less than
200 punches. You'll keep your body guessing and your conditioning will
begin to take off.
