Street Boxing Specific Training Routines

Street Boxing Specific Training Routines
Light workouts are workouts you engage in when no street boxing event is anticipated.
Intensity of training is decreased. Weights and repetitions, or lengths of time, or distance
covered, are lessened. This is aimed primarily to just continue limbering up the muscles
and conditioning the body to avoid abrupt changes when the time comes to prepare for a
tournament. The absence of a regular light work out will cause trauma to the body once
you start to work out again. A long period of dormancy after fighting is a big minus
factor when you prepare again for an upcoming boxing event.

Specific boxing for the street workouts are geared towards body sculpturing or the weeding out of certain
weaknesses that impede total performance and skill perfection. Specific fight workouts are
done in addition to general workouts when boxers are preparing for a competition.

Fighters cannot afford to do away with either. They must have a rigid schedule for
both, for life, even when there is no impending fight event to be prepared for. There will
only be variations in intensity when undertaking light workouts.

Specific workouts, to be truly beneficial, must be under the tutorship of a genuine
professional, a real father-coach or father-trainer. They may want to improve the limbs or
muscles involved in pitching a baseball, or make that twitch in the toes or ankles snappier
to gain an edge at the start of a sprint, or make that regulated pulse better when releasing
a dart from the hand. Improvement of a sport performance doesn’t happen by chance or
with age. Improvement will only come after hard, repetitious, and specific or specialized
training.

Every street boxer engages in general training. It is in specific workouts that top fighters are
separated from mere athletic players. It is mostly in specific or specialized workouts that “trade
secrets” are used or passed on by father-trainers to their son-trainees as secret weapons, and these
may decide the fate of the competition.
