Personal Trainer in London Urges Women to Get Punching for Equality


Female boxing is, by comparison, as old as male boxing in England. The earliest recorded fights occurred in London in the early 18th century, which were largely unregulated. Competitors attacked with just about everything their hands and feet can do: punches, kicks, scuffs, and low blows. It wasn't until the late 19th century that boxing would have its rules. Despite female boxing being a separate sport, more challenges to end inequality lie ahead. It's as much of a problem in the U.K. as in the U.S., where female boxing grew in popularity during the 1950s. According to a dissertation published by the Manchester Metropolitan University, this inequality is driving the lack of participation, not just in boxing but sports in general.

London Boxing Personal Trainer Shows Why Fancy Footwork Wins Fights


Any professional London boxing personal trainer is sure to include basic footwork in a typical boxing session, whether for promoting fitness or preparing for a bout, knowing how integral this movement is to the efficiency of the fighter. Move out of your opponent's reach as soon as you see him about to attack then step in and launch a counterattack. Repeat as often as possible and watch your opponent either tire out or circle around you defensively. A pro boxer can gauge his opponent's skill by observing his footwork alone. In Mayweather's case, the significance of footwork manifested during last year's title fight with Robert Guerrero. Statistics of the fight showed that Mayweather's quick leads helped him land 60 percent of his power shots and his masterful dodges, evading all but 19 percent of Guerrero's shots. Mayweather was less than two feet in front of Guerrero, yet the latter kept hitting air.

London Personal Trainer Suggests Mixing Cardio and Strength Training


Initially, most people believe that the best way to lose weight would be to stick to cardiovascular exercises and to skip strength training exercises. After all, muscle is heavier than fat, right? Experts do not deny that cardio is a fantastic way to burn calories and trim one’s midsection. However, to truly burn fat efficiently, one must engage in both cardio and strength training.

Letting Loose: London Personal Trainer on Dramatic Effects of Boxing


Can you really lose so much weight through boxing training that you get held up by suspicious immigration officers on your way home? Apparently so, since this is exactly what happened to Ross Connor after he lost eight stone while attending a Muay Thai training camp in Thailand. When he was leaving the country, he was held by immigration officers due to the dramatic changes in his face and body. They reasoned that it simply couldn’t be the same Ross Connor who had entered the country a year before.

Butterfly and Bee: London Boxing Personal Trainer on Combined Boxing


Some fighters ‘float like a butterfly.’ Others ‘sting like a bee.’ Yet, power or speed alone in boxing isn't everything. The endless power-speed debate was brought into the spotlight during the fight between Cuban power fighter Guillermo Rigondeaux and Filipino speed fighter Nonito Donaire, Jr. last April, 2013. Despite many analysts favouring the latter, Rigondeaux won via unanimous decision. It was Donaire's second loss of his entire boxing career.
