|
| USA Sparring |
All levels, women and men welcome. Sparring is the best method of training and essential to any boxer\'s programme whether amateur or professional. It is highly controlled "practice fighting" with the objective being to improve a boxer\'s technical skill and overall fitness. All sparring is supervised with a coach inside the ring, the goal is to learn and not to beat on your training partner or determine a winner. Prior to each sparring session, the coach will determine objectives – in body sparring, contact is made only to the upper torso, not to the head. Body sparring is often used for new boxers in contrast to open sparring where head contact is permitted.
When sparring, it is important to pair veterans with beginners as part of the learning curve. Your true boxing education begins here, as it is not about strength but reaction and technique, allowing each boxer to utilise accumulated training. Boxers are only using 60% of the power and speed when sparring to help refine execution and honing of skills. For safety, each boxer is required to have a mouth guard and hand wraps. A headgear and 16 oz. padded sparring gloves are provided. All female participants will spar with the coach only, in a modified sparring format.
To assure the safety of all, participants must have attended three USA Boxing classes prior to sparring.
