Hand speed? Also advice on form? It feels completely off

I can let my hands fly but idk when I watch others they do it effortlessly. I am pulling punches or pushing them? How can I snap them more?

Working on my Jab (Excuse my underwear 😅)

Today I'm working on my left jab and simple combos. Also trying to be light on my feet without jumping around too much. How am I looking?

Need advice

Hi guys I need your opinion on the best disposable contact lenses for boxing, I have a eye grade of -5.00 so it makes things really blurry. I can spar without but I feel like my reaction time is too slow. Thanks in advance

Exhaling with a mouthguard

Hi! So, I'd like to know how you guys box with a mouthguard, especially when it comes to breathing, because I have a little trouble exhaling. I breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth. When I throw punches during a fight, I exhale through the sides of the mouthguard, but when I do that, I “drool”—it often sends little droplets of drool flying, and over time it gets pretty unpleasant (I drew a little picture so you can see what happens, the mouthguard is in grey).

It might be handy if you’re trying to blind your opponent with venom, but I’m a human, not a cobra.

Is this normal? Could it depend on the quality of the mouthguard?

How to get started in boxing/kickboxing for exercise or maybe a fight in the future? / Best ways to find a trainer?

Hello!

I am new to the whole idea of boxing/ kickboxing (32F) for exercise but maybe I would like to have a fight in future (not professional but sparring I guess. lol). The situation currently is that I have a lot of suppressed anger and I am really stressed overall. I am out of shape but feel this is my best option to relieve my anger and stress, at least physically. lol. I also have lots of questions, would anyone mind answering them? I like the thought of having to sparr or have a practice/training fight in the future, if I had a trainer, would they help me with that? As far as gear, I have MMA hand wraps ( the one with the knuckle cushins) and I have regular hand wraps. I don't want to buy boxing gloves yet until I borrow the pair in my training session or class so I know how they feel on me. Does anyone have tips they can give me on how to start? Or share a story of how they started? Can I just go to the gym with a punching bag to punch the bag? Would I have to be afraid of looking dumb if I just did that? Should I try to invest in a trainer? How do you find good trainers or boxing gyms? Will a boxing trainer also expect a diet plan or is that for a fitness coach? - Thank you for your advice. ☺️

Is it possible to build a pro career if I start boxing at 18?

I’m not saying that I will, and I’m not gonna get my hopes up. I’m just curious if it’s possible or not.

Highkey scared to get into boxing

I am a complete beginner. I’ve watched a few videos, but when I record myself and watch it back, I look a lil goofy. Anyone else had this problem trying to get into the sport?

Also, here’s an attached video for any additional tips I can get.

Sparring Headache

After two years of technical training, I tried sparring for the first time and honestly, it was such a devastating experience. My opponent was super experienced, more muscled, and heavier. Probably, one of the top athletes in the gym. He had no mercy and I got so many punches.

Now, I have a bruise around my eye. But more painfully, I have headache over days. Is this normal and how to handle a headache after hard sparring/ fights?

Point Based Sparring

I made a sparring game that helps work on some boxing fundamentals. Good for beginner or advanced sparring. It's a fun way to actually get a competitive tournament going without things getting out of hand.
The workbook has a guide with some good basics.
