Boxa, the new brain boxing, sets you down in every movement as the core of the atom and the energy field around you (the electrons) in a defense, attack, and movement pattern at all times without rest. We need rest to recuperate after a good training but not during the training. This is one of the reasons why I did take away long rest periods during training.
Why did we develop Boxa as there is already a highly developed style of traditional boxing?
Many traditional boxing coaches and trainers did ask me this question. Boxing has thousands of highly capable people who currently spend their days with teaching and coaching competitive boxers around the globe. These same trainers and coaches are highly capable of addressing recreative boxers and fitness enthusiasts. But as said before, training is evolution, change in movement. Traditional boxing is rusted in the idea that we have only one favorite front leg and all technical skill developments are based on that. Variations on this “one leg” principle are off limit. Currently it is time for change in our thinking about boxing.
Until today a boxing training was a drill to have a fixed front leg. The choice of the front leg is made depending on your most used hand side. Are you righthanded, your front leg is left. If you are lefthanded your front leg should be right. But in most gym left-leg-front (orthodox) is the rule even when you are a left-handed person (southpaw). But science and developments make changing faster than ever before.
The current participants are a mix of male and female. In some gyms the ratio of 50/50 is already reached. Children are growing up in a multi-tasking environment and they are able to use their brain more efficient than the older generations. We can state that their brains are evolving. To keep up with these fast changes we need to keep our sport a challenge for this group and add elements of difficulty, surprise and learning for them.
