Upper West Side Self-Defense Training

Boxing can be a highly effective component of self-defense training.

Here’s how boxing can be used for self-defense training:

PHYSICAL CONDITIONING

Boxing workouts are intense and demanding, improving your overall physical fitness, strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health. Being in good physical shape can give you an advantage if you need to defend yourself, as you’ll have more stamina and strength.

STRIKING TECHNIQUE

STRIKING TECHNIQUE

DEFENSIVE SKILLS

DEFENSIVE SKILLS

Boxing also teaches defensive techniques such as slipping, bobbing, weaving, and blocking punches. These skills can help you avoid incoming strikes and minimize damage in a self-defense situation.

SELF-DEFENSE APPROACH

While boxing alone may not cover all aspects of self-defense, such as grappling or defending against weapons, it can serve as a solid foundation and complement other martial arts or self-defense training. Additionally, it’s important to remember that self-defense is not just about physical techniques but also about awareness, de-escalation skills, and understanding legal and ethical considerations.
