Even though most of the sports in the society are becoming increasingly contact-free, a kind of a revival has been seen in one of the oldest and the most physical of all contact sports in Great Britain. As an article on EscapeFitness.com recently pointed out, boxing has made a comeback and not only in the roughest gyms.
Many fitness centres like Gorton Club in Gorton, Manchester have not only made boxing popular but they have made it the main attraction of the gymnasium. A boxing ring, speedballs and punching bags are found in this part of the gym which is called the First Box Station, usually crowded by a host of enthusiastic young athletes waiting for their turn to test their skills.
The point to boxing is simple: however to stop the event from becoming an all-out brawl and keep it a real sport, some gyms have became part of OUTBOXTM, which is the only boxing qualification for health and fitness staff that has been accredited by the British Boxing Board of Control. These trainers also steer possible warriors away from the ring, allowing them to focus on classes emphasizing technique, safety and the positive physical impact of boxing.
Even though classes are designed keeping the needs of men and women in mind, many training centres are also offering individual women-only classes. Additionally, as the class improves, the physical demands increase. As with all sports, you have to invest your time, devotion and attention: however it will reward you.
Most often, the First Box stations are placed in the central part of the gymnasium so that other athletes can watch the activity while they are working out, creating more awareness of and exposure to this sport. Workout stations will often times combine their equipment in such a way that multiple athletes can make use of the bags and speed balls, and group exercise is encouraged. Additionally, they have plenty of space for jumping rope and jogging.
Boxing is an incredible sport, working the whole body in both muscle development and endurance. It places emphasis on flexibility, control, stamina and pacing as well as speed and strength. Boxing can give a really demanding workout when done properly.
