If you can spare 60 minutes, 3 times per week, and you want to create a lasting skills and fitness development regime, then you need to read on…

Before we go any further though, you should know that this is not for everyone.

If you can’t commit to the deliberate practice required, this is not for you.

If you are not willing to begin at the beginning, to build your foundations with determination and honesty, this is not for you.

How it Works

The Boxing Training Foundation session consists of 7 phases that you will complete in under an hour. Each phase is designed to provide the most authentic on-line boxing training session. This is a truly interactive digital coaching experience that will shape your boxing approach for years to come.

• Phase 1 – The Warm Up
  Phase 1 is the Warm Up. I give a full demonstration of a boxing-specific warm up, a warm up that will prime you for a top performance during your session. We work through various warm up drills that give a full-body session, ensuring that the risk of injuries is minimized and the cardiovascular system and muscles are ready for the challenges of the session.
• Phase 2 – Skills Development
  This is where we start the process of learning the technical skills, and boy is there lots of insights and methods to enable an accelerated path to learning how to box. We have an extensive range of 8 core skills, 5 foundation drills and 10 mobility drills all of which have a consistent method of delivery. The core skills give you the individual skill elements, enabling you to master each individual skill to perfection. The foundation drills are designed to develop your ability to combine punching and movement seamlessly, the most challenging aspect of learning the sport. The mobility drills enable you to combine footwork and body movements to help make you elusive and highly controlled. The drills also combine so that the variations available as you develop are pretty much endless.
• Phase 3 – Shadow Boxing
  Onto that most vital of boxing training activities, shadow boxing. I’ll describe how to apply the skills that you have encountered in Phase 2 and use shadow boxing to enhance and sharpen these skills. You’ll get insights here that are simply not available elsewhere. Enjoy moving around effortlessly with slick footwork and subtle body movements, all the time firing salvos of perfect shots. This shadow boxing session will allow you to understand why boxers love to shadow box.
• Phase 4 – The Heavy Bag
  Phase 4 is when we start really showing off by using the heavy bag. You may notice that I chose the word ‘using’ and not ‘hitting’. There’s a lot more to a heavy bag than just hitting it, and you’ll appreciate this after working through Phase 4. Again, the skills from Phase 2 are re-emphasized and this really does help with the speed and quality of your development. You’ll be working the heavy bag like a pro in no time at all!
• Phase 5 – Jumping Rope
  Phase 5 is a complete tutorial to enable you to learn to jump rope like a demon in double-quick time. And bear in mind, some estimates are that you can burn as many calories in 10 minutes of jumping rope as you can in a 45 minute run. It’s also an excellent way to improve your upper and lower body co-ordination, vital in boxing. In short, jumping rope is an amazing tool for your boxing fitness bag, and after watching this tutorial you’ll have the whirring of the rope mastered sooner than you think.
• Phase 6 – Strength Training
  Phase 6 is your introduction to boxing strength training. I’ll demonstrate how to use the boxer’s ‘Ton-Up’, 10 exercises that will build the core strength that will enable a continual increase in your power-to-weight ratio. An added bonus is a toned and powerful physique…that will do no harm I’m sure! The Ton Up is another element of the Boxing Training Foundation that can be adapted in many, many ways, and I’ll describe exactly how!
• Phase 7 – The Warm Down
  It’s time for the warm down and flexibility work out. I demonstrate a range of boxing-specific stretching exercises that improve your muscle flexibility, range of movement and your resistance to injury. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of flexibility as a fighter. A flexible fighter is much more likely to hit hard, and undertaking a structured flexibility workout will pave the way. It’s a wonderful way to complete our session.

About Fran Sands

My name is Fran Sands and I’m the founder of MyBoxingCoach.

I’ve been involved in boxing since 1978, first visiting a boxing gym at the age of 6.

I took part in 60 amateur contests winning regional titles, reaching national semi-finals and finals and representing my country at Under-19 level.

When I hung up my gloves at the age of 21 and after a short break from the sport, I moved into a coaching role.

Since 1996 I have coached amateur boxers helping some amazing young talent to realize their potential.

I have worked with numerous national champions and international boxers and enjoy immensely the feeling of working on the technical and tactical development of boxers at all levels, always enjoying very positive feedback from my charges.

In 2010 I created MyBoxingCoach.com.

I wanted to use my coaching skills to provide a real and effective boxing learning resource, especially to those who are not lucky enough to have easy access to good boxing coaching.

Throughout the site you will find a wide range of quality coaching videos and articles that will empower you to bring real boxing skills development into your fitness regime.

There are videos covering pretty much every individual skill executed in boxing, from straight punches through to uppercuts and hooks, from slipping and ducking to rolls, blocks and parries.

There are also a full range of boxing drills, tactical insights and fighter analysis videos that allow you to get ‘under the skin’ of boxing in order to give yourself the best possible opportunity to implement a lasting boxing training regime as part of your fitness programme.

I pride myself on providing clear, structured and actionable instruction so that you can begin the learning process right away.
