I bought a jump rope from academy two months ago and have realized my shoulders get tired from spinning it long before my lower body does. I was advised by a friend that a heavier rope would do for my boxing training. I am 6'1 and weigh 202 lbs, anyone have a good idea as to what weight i should get and maybe where I can find these heavy ropes?|||Between 2 and 4 pounds for the weight.
Something like this:

Does the head gear for boxing completely guard you from being injured?
Me and my friends want to start boxing each other. We are 18 years old. It is about 10 of us. We are all buying are own set of boxing gloves and the head gear and a mouth piece. We will be back yard boxing. Could we brake our noses or get hurt wearing the boxing head gear or is it safe?|||Absolutely Not. It only stops from getting your Jaw Broke, Eye's Split Open, Era Drum's Busted, and other facial cuts. Your Nose can still be broken, you can still get "Punchy" which is just another name for Brain-Damage, And you can still get Knocked Out, Just a little harder. If your Back-Yarders" as I call them, You will have fun as long as no-one looses their minds. It's tough now I am not gonna lie to you! Guy's will get knocked out, Noses will get broke, But thats the price the sport demands if your gonna play it. It's how I started out a million years ago, Fighting with my 7 Brothers and friends in the Back Yard, lol. I Fought for the U.S. Army later in life, and won several Championships doing so. To think it all started in my back yard still gives me a laugh. We had some really good times doing it back then. Just dont get carried away, which can be easy if someone gets an attitude, or gets too-serious! Remember, Your not trying for Title Belts, Your just back-yarders having a good time, dont try to take each others heads off, lol. Hope this helped, and be carefull men. Take Care.|||Yes you can very easily break you nose while wearing head gear. Head gear dosent cove your nose. Headgear really wont stop you from getting hurt you can still get a black eye a broken jaw and a swollen lip.|||it is possible to break your nose but it would be hard to do. remember that you have on face gear and you are punching with gloves. i would buy the lightest gloves you can find for speed.|||Yeah you could break your nose. You could also get a black eye, busted lip, %26amp; a broken jaw(possibly).|||also, you can still acquire a closed-head injury or suffer neck problems, have fun.|||It will not protect you from any body punches which could result in damage to kidneys, liver, spleen, or even death.|||The human head is not meant to be pummeled mercilessly...Brain and neck injury is what I would be worried about...|||Yes you can get hurt %26amp; break yalls nose. Do any of yall have any boxing expeirence?
How to train for boxing with a broken hand?
So, im a boxer and i got pretty unlocky and broke my hand, i want to stay in shape for boxing what can i do?|||I'm in almost the same situation as you .. I have a bruised bone .. with no clue when it truely will be healed and almsot fractured it ( my wrist bone under the thumb from punching too hard too much ..)
- I do alot of core work outs .. shadow boxing with my hurt hand laying at my head ..it gets you use to using your other hand..
- work out your legs alot , jumping jacks leg machines , jogging , running w/e your hand bouncing can tolerate..
- abs .. crunches , sit ups so on ( leg ups )
- you can do pilates? basically like a push up position but you lay on your elbows and balance yourself
- lift free weights with the other hand..
- I even tied a resistance band around my arm on the hurt side and used it as if I was actually using it correctly ( with my hand..)
good luck .. pain killers can make you lazy / laid back so keep your game up and head up don't rush back either no pain no gain doesn't apply to this wait till you're 100% before you throw a punch with that hand again ..
- you can also do those shoulder rolls or w/e and neck rolls .. where you swing them in circles ..
- diet properly ..
- walking alot .. fast paced if you cannot handle running ( your hand bounces so I can understand that)
good luck really hope I helped|||I broke my hand twice during my professional career, I remember at first the throbbing was so bad that I could not run, but if you can run that should help with your conditioning try shadow boxing in front of a mirror and work on specific things ie. for one round work exclusively on keeping your chin tucked behind your shoulder especially when punching-good luck|||shadow boxing? and you can still train your movement like footwork or shoulder and hip use when you punch. you can do all those movements you did before, just without punching anything.|||roadwork
shadowboxing
sit ups
and lots more running.

How would you use boxing against karate, beishaolin, karate and muay thai?
I'd like to know how you could adapt what you've learnt in boxing to fight someone who does Karatedo, Muay Thai, Taekwondo and Beishaolinquan.
What would be a good strategy to use against these four martial arts, and how would I evade/counter attacks to legs and lower body in general?|||There are too many variables. It depends on how trained you and the opponent are. If you are faster, stronger, etc. you may win. However I don't advise it. Anyone trained in a martial art can easily take on someone using a style like boxing. Boxing is more of a street style. Boxing revolves more on just punches, and kicks if kick boxing, and power. Trained martial artists have the advantage of a wide r
ange of techniques, such as punches (straight line, other hand strikes i.e. the shuto: knife hand strike) various kicks, and throws and take downs. A martial artist has the advantage of technique that build the necessary strength and speed. But as I stated earlier at matters on who is fighting.
As for being able to find ways to counter the styles it also has many variables. One way is to study the art of the fighter (and the fighter them self) to find the individuals weakness. After you have found it, exploit it. Taekwondo uses a lot of kicks and leg techniques, so it is imperative to watch the legs, but don't neglect any part of the body, they can all be a weapon. Karate is a striking art with many attacks, so a solid defense is needed. As far as Muay Thai and Beishaolinquan I don't know. I haven't studied these arts.
No matter the style it is imperative to work every aspect of fighting, attack, defense, conditioning (speed, strength, etc.) and have a strong mind. It all depends on the individual fighter.|||For me boxing has always been a part of my personal self defense strategy. However, I've also studied Ju Jitsu for many years. I've also been fortunate enough to train with people in various other Arts. So my recommendation is don't limit yourself to just one type of self defense method. In fact training in the Arts you named would be a great way to understand why they use the techniques they use.|||the best way to understand a style is to study it for a while, those are actually a lot more then 4 styles your looking at, karate has close to if not more then 50, and tdk has over 75. the each use different tactics.
you dont want to worry about so much what style your opponent knows, but how he moves and what kind of fighter he is, what kind of fighting ranges he uses, his timing, and techniques, the types of stances and so forth.
stances tell a lot about the type of fighter he is, long narrows stances are long range fighters short stances are close range, wide stance make it easier for side stepping and so forth. learn to read your opponents, and understand there movements and patters they use.|||Well, with boxing you are going to want to be in the pocket. Closing the distance between you and the opposing fighter will eliminate kicks however in closing quarters will also leave you subject to the clinch. You would still need to use the same stick and move aspects of boxing, yet you need to be close enough so you stuff the kick.|||poster 907mma has some good tips.
Just make sure that the thai fighter does not get you in the clinch. When he grabs for the clinch you will probably be best giving a counter hook or uppercut.
With the karate guys, watch the groin kick.
With a boxing background you should have a great jab and better inside fighting. Hooks to the body are my favorite. Even though I fight mma and TKD, I love inside fighting.|||Speed, Skills, and Power will win any fights..No matter what martial arts you use. If I have the speed, skills, and power..I should be able to win any fights...cause I adapt to the situations and find my ways to kill somebody on their deadly spots with my quick and power attacks..in combo man..

What is a normal monthly cost to join a boxing gym?
I know I'm 17 and I've never boxed before, but I've always had an interest in boxing since I was little. Unfortunately I never had the money and neither did my parents. Now I'm VERY interested and I just want to know if it's expensive or not to join a boxing gym.|||about 40 to 80 bucks but you rarely see a all boxing gym any more there more towards mma but some gyms have boxing teams and some boxing gyms or mma gyms have a non profit license to where you train for free show your grades are up to par,depends on there criteria and train 4 to 5 times a week and compete.you could also try ymca"s and boys and girls clubs.|||$ 200.00 a oth at least.
I want to start working out by boxing, but LA Boxing is so expensive- are there cheaper clubs in Denver?
I want an actual boxing workout with gloves and a punching bag, not just going through the motions in a class like most health clubs offer. I want to actually hit something!|||Let me tell you something. All those boxing gyms that charge astronomical amounts of money for "boxing classes" are not boxing gyms. They are just a load of BS. A real boxing gym charges a small amount of money for you to use the equipment there and are open to just about anybody who wants to learn.
Try google maps and search boxing gym. If your stuck with only BS gyms then I suggest to you to buy some hand wraps and gloves, and look for a normal non boxing gym (with weightlifting, swimming, racketball treadmills all the stuff people do) and ask if it has a room with a heavy bag. IT just might, and you'll be able to go in and hit it for as long as you want.|||You can afford to commute to Denver, but not the LA gyms?
