It's important that you warm up properly before beginning a boxing training session. Your stance should be flat with the front foot forward, while your back foot should be bent. Your elbows should rest against your ribs, and your body should be light-weighted. This will help you avoid injury and improve your technique. If you are a beginner, practice only one technique per round. You might practice head movement in round three, for example. In the fourth round, practice your counterpunches. You can use different techniques in different combinations.

You should also learn sidestepping and pivoting in your beginner boxing classes. Both of these movements will make it difficult for you to respond, but pivoting will help you stay within reach and allow you a different angle of attack. This will allow for you to throw punches in a completely different direction and split your opponent’s guard. Then, you can continue your boxing workouts by learning how to sidestep. A perfect boxer will be able to drop their body beneath an oncoming punch, but he or she will also be able to stay light on their feet.
