SUPER BODY PROTECTOR
The Super Body Protector provides the coach with a whole new training option.
Now his athlete can work on body punches during punch mitt drills. The protection
provided to the coach by the Super Body Protector means you can work on the
forgotten art of body punching without worrying about taking a pounding.
PUNCH SHIELD
This device is a great way to work on
offensive techniques with even the heaviest hitter. It provides a heavily padded
target that the coach can move and adjust to fit the specific techniques he is
working on.
There are many other great training devices available from Ringside that a coach
can use to give just the right look to any particular workout.

DRILL WORK PUNCH MITTS

There is a large selection of punch mitts available today. Many of the mitts have
specific uses, while others do the basic job of providing the boxer with a target.
Basically, the punch mitts are an offensive target that the coach or trainer can
control to help a boxer work on different offensive skills. Ringside has a complete
line of punch mitts to help you come up with the mitt that best fits your program.
COACH SPAR MITTS
These mitts were designed specifically by
Ringside to give the coach the ability to teach both offense and defense at the
same time. These mitts are padded so that the coach can “catch” the punches
just like regular punch mitts. The aspect that makes these mitts different is that
they also give the coach the ability to “tap” the boxer back when he makes a
mistake. This much more effectively stimulates a real opponent. This ability to
work on defense and offense at the same time makes these mitts a must for
every gym.

BASIC PROGRAM

Ringside offers a complete
line of both heavybags
and double end bags.
Drill work is a great way to work on specific techniques in a controlled
situation. Punch mitts can be used to work on certain combinations,
to learn proper footwork and even defense. Start your new boxers
with basic left/right combinations. As they improve, add more punches. When they master this, try moving a little.
Continue to add punches and movement as they improve. With some of the mitts available (Coach Spar Mitts), you
can also help your boxers work on defense. Start by throwing a jab at about half speed at your athlete. He/she should
slip the punch or catch the punch and counter with a jab or straight right. As the boxer gets better at this, increase the
speed until you are imitating an actual punch.

JUMP ROPE
A quality speed rope is necessary to condition the legs and develop the cardiovascular
endurance. Always jump on a padded surface. Jumping on concrete is too easy and bad
for your legs. You should complete three rounds of rope jumping.
SPEED BAG
This light bag does wonders to improve arm endurance
and hand-eye coordination. Don’t just hit the bag. Work it.
Learn the double hit movement. Hit it once with each hand.
Hit it 25 times with each hand. Alternate these routines, work
hard and the speed bag can be a valuable tool. For a variation,
remove some air (about 25%) from the bag and hit it. It will
force you to punch harder.
