Anonymous10/20/24, 20:15No.214001Is it possible to learn boxing at home?
While following video guides and doing bag work and drills? There is no boxing gym or any martial art gym near me.

You can get fit at home, but you can’t learn to box at home.

You can't learn the whole of boxing without boxing. But you can get your body ready for boxing.

>You can't learn to box/do martial arts at home
All you faggots know this isn't 100% true. The overwhelming majority of training is 1)conditioning 2)solo drills 3) partner drills 4) sparring.
So no, you cannot learn the totality of boxing & martial arts at home alone, but you can do ALL of the conditioning and still practice a lot of the basics. Basic striking & footwork patterns etc.
>inb4 won't learn it right
And? Most people training in a gym will also not geg it right. Lol. But its still better than nothing. You are all being gatekeeping lil bitches.

you can learn a lot of boxing at home. ur still missing the partner aspect. So no not like 100% probably not. But you can transfer what you learned into boxing. I was self training and when i started sparring with other people i was already semi decent at slipping and thowing back combos because thats all i did at home. footwork was good day 1. your skills will transfer over but u are missing out if you dont spar.

If you're white you can hang with your local skinheads, they'll teach you how to box

Okay, I don't feel like creating my own time wasting thread, so I am going to make my own.
I feel like getting into boxing/kickboxing for self defense, I have a home gym (squat rack, barbell, weights), I have decent lifts (225 x 10 high bar squat, 185 x 10 bench, 275 x 10 RDL) at 200lbs bw 6'5, which probably won't help me with martial sports, since they are mainly about cardio.
I know that, training martial arts alone, is like training for sex alone, but before joining a proper gym, I thought about training some of the basics on my own.
I have a following plan: 3 times per week, on my non gym days, I will 10 minutes of jumping rope, 10 minutes of shadow boxing an 10 minutes of double ended bag drills and 10 minutes of burpees.
Would you say that this routine will benefit me? Should I get a heavy bag? What other equipment, which can be used without a partner would benefit me? How about these thingies which you can attach to your forehead and practice hitting a ball? Are they a meme?

Yes. Shadow boxing is useful. Practice posture and movements, and build strong fundamentals in that. I wish you the best of success

If you train at home, you can develop good conditioning, and get a basic grasp of what you're supposed to be doing, but the problem is that without proper coaching you're going to develop a lot of bad habits that will be hard to break when you do get proper coaching. Without sparring, you won't be able to develop timing, distance judgement, proper movement and defense, and those are among the most important things to develop for fighting.Regardless, I'd go ahead and train by yourself just for the fitness aspect alone.

Nah, you will definitely develop bad habits that will be hard to get rid of later.

There is a youtube channel called expert boxing. You can learn the techniques but not fighting.

If you're not a broke loser, you can at the very least find someone who can give you lessons here and there at home, and record those sessions, and do that shit religiously. Or find people to spar/train w locally.
