Boxing for Fitness
Boxing, which rides the fine line between sports and
martial arts, is an exception to this dilemma found in many traditional martial
arts. The evolution of the sport of boxing (sometimes referred to as "the
Sweet Science") has brought more attention to effective training methods
and scientific principles than other martial arts have received. Because of
this, boxers and kickboxers receive a physical conditioning level, specific to
their sport, far beyond what one can expect from a traditional martial arts
training system.
There has been much debate amongst martial
artists about the efficacy of boxing skills versus other martial arts styles.
While we must remember that boxers are limited by the rules of their sports and
that these limits would become their weaknesses in a real confrontation, we must
also respect that any fighter who has been well trained with sound fitness
principles in mind, would have greater speed, greater strength and power, and
better conditioning to sustain blows. I do not say here that boxing is a more
effective martial art for self defense than others. I only note that any martial
art which trains with the same conditioning principles that boxers traditionally
follow, would have an advantage over those who focus on technique but do not
have the physical fitness to sustain the physical effort involved in a real
confrontation.
Aerobic Boxing
Just as martial artists gain by seeking knowledge
from the ever expanding world of exercise science, so may fitness enthusiasts
gain by stepping into the martial arts arena. Workout programs involving boxing,
kickboxing and other martial arts techniques are becoming more and more
mainstream in the '90's. Boxerobics, Cardio Kickboxing, Aeroboxing and Boxing
for Fitness Classes are the latest addition to health club class schedules.
These classes provide a full body workout while relieving stress and eliminating
the repetitiveness of many other types of aerobics. Additionally, these classes
are equally attractive to women and men, and can teach practical self defense
skills to their participants bringing meaning to the workout otherwise missing
from Step or other aerobic classes.
