This is not some
watered down fake franchise boxing
team, who are only trying to
collect as much money as they can.
This is also not a
place where you will be trained
by some type of washed up over the
hill female/male boxers still looking for
their prime.
You will be are
trained by a real boxing coach not
just a boxer trying to be a coach.
Coach Massey name is
well known in the Triangle area as
the best REAL boxing coach
for
Pro's and
Amateurs.
Amateur boxing in
NOT about knocking your opponent
out!
In comparison to
professional boxing, the objective
and even the scoring system are
entirely different. Amateur boxing
is scored on a system where each
technically correct punch is worth
one point.
A good jab scores
the same only for the punch or
punches that lead to it.
The focus of
each contest is on scoring as many
cumulative points as possible, not
on taking unnecessary punches in
order to deliver one hard punch.
Amateur boxing is possibly the most
regulated and supervised sport of
any amateur competition.
It requires
weigh-ins and physicals before each
match. Another physical exam is done
after each bout.
Also, the
equipment used in competition must
meet rigorous specifications set
down by USA/Boxing.
All boxers are
required to wear protective
equipment including gloves,
headgear, fitted mouthpiece, groin
protection and in the event of a
female bout, chest protection.
Even the padding
in the rings meet defined
specifications.
As you can see,
amateur boxing takes great steps to
insure that when your child is here,
we are doing everything possible to
protect them.
Training:
Success in amateur boxing involves a simple task:
Scoring a blow while protecting against an opponent. This supposed
simple task is not easily achieved. Natural talent, dedicated
learning, perfecting of skills and optimal conditioning are all
important aspects. Adequate training is an essential tool which will
be effective in achieving success.
Boxers learn early that this sport is physically and psychologically
demanding. Meeting the physical demands in training the aerobic and
anaerobic energy systems and the mastering of ringmanship present an
exciting challenge to athletes.
Training also includes learning the technical skills required of
this sport.
The basics include proper stance, footwork, the
fundamentals of throwing punches and defensive maneuvers. Learning
these skills takes time and practice.
As the basics become
internalized, new and varied techniques are incorporated.
This
aspect of training also assists the boxer to develop their own
unique style within the rules that govern boxing.
All amateur boxing clubs will have varying philosophies. The
important factor for athletes is to understand that training, as it
relates to competitive boxing, requires ongoing hard work and
dedication.
Joining
BOX-2B-FIT BOXING CLUBS
will provide an appropriate environment in which to
train.
Coaching:
The Coach plays a significant role in amateur boxing.
They are the men and women who work with the boxer in teaching the
techniques and improving skills. They educate the boxer about the
rules and regulations of the sport. They provide ongoing support and
encouragement. The Coach is in the athlete's corner during the bout.
Many coaches involvement stems from personal experience as a former
competitor. The continued interest comes from their love of the
sport.
