PUNCH MITTS AND DRILL
EQUIPMENT FOR COACHES
When you commence sparring, always
try to work on a new punch, a different
move or defense technique. Never
spar just to be sparring. Learn to love to spar. Boxing can only be learned through
boxing. If you’re sparring with someone of lesser ability, you can still work on a
variety of techniques such as body attack, defense or even offense by making
your punches slightly miss their mark (your sparring partner). By missing punches
you can evaluate if you are exercising proper balance. Missing punches also
takes more energy and consequently will aid in your conditioning.
