Keeping your feet moving allows you the freedom to quickly evade punches from your opponent and swiftly transition to throwing punches and attacking.\\n\\nJust like many sports, in boxing, a boxer develops a strategy for how to move about the ring depending on their opponent. For instance, if your opponent tends to be a slugger and moves heavily around the ring, you might benefit from dancing around a bit more to tire them out. “Dancing” in the ring can also be used as an intimidation factor. In later rounds, when both fighters are beginning to show signs of fatigue, a boxer relies on their agile footwork and quick movements to show they are ready to keep the match lively.

Yes Coach, No Coach\nThis is the big one. Boxing gym culture is all about discipline and respect, and if you don’t show that respect to the coaches it will really rub people wrong. If the coach is twenty and you’re 40? Yes coach, no coach. If the coach seems really laid back? Yes coach, no coach. This isn’t an ego trip, even if it seems like it. You call a coach by their title because you’re there to learn from them and in order to learn you have to be willing to show deference to the knowledge of the person teaching you.\n\n2. Sharing is Caring\nA big part of proper gym etiquette, boxing or otherwise, is to not hog the equipment. If there’s only 1 heavy bag, try not to hog it for 12 rounds (unless the coach tells you to). A great way to follow this gym rule is to plan circuit workouts (rotating to a new exercise after 1-2 rounds and simply running the circuit multiple times).\n\n3. Keep it Clean\nNow, this is a big one at my gym especially but it is a basic gym rule in general: when you’ve finished using a piece of equipment, clean it off. Nobody wants to practice clinch drills on a heavy bag dripping with someone else’s sweat. When you finish using something, just give it a quick wipe with a towel before moving on. \n\n4. No Killers in Sparring\nIn most boxing gym workouts you will find yourself sparring. The big boxing gym rule  here is don’t show off in sparring. Sparring can be and is very fun, but it's important that you remember that sparring is practice. Don’t try and take your opponent’s head off, and if you can tell you’re a little above your opponent’s level, take it easy and work your defense. Nobody likes a bully, so work on your technical skills and let them work on their basics. \n\n5. Don’t Dump Your Weights\nJust as important in a boxing gym as anywhere else. Dumping weights is dangerous to both you and the people around you, and also it just kind of makes you look like a drama queen in a place where at least one person is usually training with a broken something or other (which is a bad idea don’t do that either). If you’ve bitten off more than you can chew of course bail on the weight it's better than an injury, but don’t make it a habit.\n\n6. Leave the Weightcut Fighter Alone\nThis is a little piece of proper boxing gym etiquette that is exclusive to combat sports: if you see someone in a sauna suit, and they’ve been hitting the same bag or running on the same treadmill for a long time: leave them alone. They are miserable, tired, hungry, and dehydrated. I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, they do not want encouragement. They want silence so that they can continue to be angry. The only people allowed to talk to the person in the sauna suit are the coach and anyone else currently in a sauna suit. \n\n7. The Golden Rule\nGym etiquette is a little weird to get used to and every spot has its own unique quirks, but the basics mostly boil down to sanitation and common courtesy. ‘Do unto others’ is the golden rule here and as long as you follow that one principle you will get along just fine in almost any gym you walk into. ","What are the basic boxing gym rules? ",{"_uid":1669,"answer":1670,"question":1671,"component":670},"8bb795b0-2a84-4bd7-937b-3f35d6be519f","Boxing gyms can be intimidating places to walk into if you’ve never been to one: everyone knows how to fight, and there’s always that one guy sweating in full sauna gear hitting a bag for 3 hours straight in the back of the room (pro tip, he does not want to talk), and depending on your experience level you might not really know what you’re looking at with a lot of the equipment.

This doesn’t mean you should be predictable with your punches. It just means that you should try and keep your flow steady rather than switch between a ‘sprint’ pace and a ‘walk’ pace in between punches. The reason for this is that keeping a steady punching rhythm allows your body to maintain and adjust purely on muscle memory rather than conscious adjustment. For a fantastic example of this, watch Evander Holyfield. All of his combinations have a very noticeable rhythm.","Rhythm Makes The World Go Round",{"_uid":2371,"answer":2372,"question":2373,"component":670},"d3f6b7e2-c84d-4e50-90c8-04c32597787a","In boxing movies, you will often hear boxers ‘hiss’ when they throw their punches – and this is an actual boxing technique. Breathing and activating your diaphragm when throwing shots has the dual benefit of ensuring your core is engaged in the punch and making sure you maintain your oxygen levels, especially during long combos. I try my best to breathe in when I bring my punches back, and breathe out when I punch, making sure I keep my oxygen levels up to help fight off muscle fatigue.
