WELCOME

Boxing training is said to be one of the toughest


disciplines in the world and probably the most
favoured used by many of the elite sports people
around the world from soccer players to formula
1 drivers.

The BoxMaster® has taken boxing style training


to another level by simplifying it and making
it so much easier to learn by our patented pad
placement angles. You throw the punch and the
correct surface angle is there.

The art of teaching someone to throw a correct


punch is now so much easier and safer by
allowing you the trainer to view the student and
correct their form instead of standing behind
focus mits and risking injury.

Enjoy the course and keep boxing on!

BOXMASTER OVERVIEW ®

WHAT IS THE BOXMASTER?


A form of boxing style training that will bring boxing for fitness to facility members. With the
ability to cater to all types of members, it will excite and encourage greater participation in
boxing style training.

WHY IS THE BOXMASTER NEEDED?


Historically a primary way to train people boxing fitness, was to use focus mitts. Some of the
issues with this are:
• Potential injury to the participants; increasing the insurance risks for both the instructors
and the facility.
• Potential danger for the instructor from impact.
• It can only be done in a 1-on-1 situation.

HOW DOES THE BOXMASTER WORK?


The BoxMaster® pads have been set up specifically to replicate a different style of punch for
each pad. This allows the participant to throw any punch, or any combination of punches at
any time!

HOW DOES IT REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY?


A large amount of time and thought has gone into the development of the BoxMaster. The
key to its design lays in the spring system attached to each pad. The pads have been set
up to offer a slight ‘give’, therefore replicating punching a focus mitt. The result of this is a
significant reduction in the risk of injury, to both the participants and the instructor.

WHO DOES THE BOXMASTER CATER TO?


The beauty of the BoxMaster is, it caters to every type of exercise participant. Unlike methods
used in the past for boxing training, such as the heavy bag the BoxMaster is a non-intimidating
way to encourage members into a different style of training. We know this to be true because
currently 55% of BoxMaster participants are females.

• The pads are specially set up so they can cater to both right-hand and left-hand (Southpaw)
dominate participants.
• The BoxMaster can be easily adjusted to cater for any height of your participants.

BOXMASTER FLOOR PLAN OPTIONS ®

The BoxMaster® room is best designed with an optimal number of 4 Single BoxMaster units
or one BoxMaster Quad station. This allows for up to 8 participants (plus the instructor) in the
area at any one time.

BASIC EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Before starting to teach any type of exercise, you first must understand and have a basic
knowledge of how the human body works.

the body energy systems


The human body possesses three energy systems that create the energy needed to sustain
itself and create the muscle contractions to perform work. ATP, Adenosine Triphosphate, is
the molecule used by the body to create work or contract a muscle. ATP can be created either
aerobically, meaning with oxygen, or anaerobically, meaning without oxygen. The Aerobic
energy system [Oxidative] is primarily used for long term steady state activities; whereas
the body has two Anaerobic energy systems: ATP-CP [Phosphagen] system and Lactic Acid
[Glycolytic] system. Most activities use a combination of all three energy systems to generate
the energy. These systems are composed of complex chemical reactions in order to work;
below is a basic overview of these systems.

AEROBIC ENERGY SYSTEM (OXIDATIVE)


The Aerobic (Oxidative) energy system provides ATP much more slowly than the other two
systems, but the supply is almost unlimited because it uses fat storage for fuel. The oxidative
system by itself is used primarily during complete rest and low-intensity activity. It can produce
ATP through either stored fats (fatty acids) or carbohydrates (glucose). Because fatty acids
take more time to breakdown than glucose, more oxygen is needed for complete combustion.
If efforts are intense and the cardiovascular system cannot supply oxygen quickly enough,
carbohydrates must produce ATP. However, in very long duration activities (i.e., marathons),
carbohydrates can become depleted and the body looks to fats as the energy supplier.

atp-pc (phosphagen) system


This is the simplest energy system and does not need oxygen as the ATP is stored directly in
the muscles. The ATP-PC system is used for short durations of high-intensity work of up to
10 seconds. This is the primary system behind very short, powerful movements like a golf
swing, a 100-meter sprint or power lifting. Because both the ATP and Phosphocreatine, used
to recreate ATP, are both in limited supply within the muscles, this system is duration is very
limited. Replenishment of this system will require oxygen.

ANAEROBIC (LACTIC ACID OR GLYCOLTIC) SYSTEM


The Glycolytic system (or Lactic Acid system) is the “next in line” tool after the ATP-PC system
runs its course and lasts for exercises lasting less than 2 minutes. Dietary carbohydrates
supply glucose that circulates in the blood or is stored as glycogen in the muscles and
the liver. Blood glucose and/or stored glycogen is broken down to create ATP through
the process of glycolysis. Like the ATP-PC system, oxygen is not required for the actual
process of glycolysis (but it does play a role with the byproduct of glycolysis, pyruvic acid).
An example of an activity of the intensity and duration that this system works under would
be a 400 meter sprint.

Benefits that BoxMaster® style training will give participants:
The BoxMaster® (in class format) is set up to have participants complete 90 second rounds using the
BoxMaster (through punch combinations) and active recovery stations. The key benefits of this style of
training will include:
• Increase in strength in all three key areas:
1. Upper body
2. Lower body
3. Core
• Increase in speed
• Increase in the body’s ability to withstand lactic waste and remove this from the body
• Increase in cardiovascular capacity – Increase in V02 Max and decrease in resting heart rate.

Potential benefits of increasing a persons cardiovascular capacity includes:


• Increase in muscular tone
• Decrease in body fat
• Increase in lean muscle mass
Studies have shown that boxing styles of training can burn between 250-400 calories within a 30 minute period.

KEY BODY POSITIONING IN BOXING

upright stance
• Move back from the BoxMaster® so both arms are fully extended
• Tip of left hand glove should just be able to reach pad 2
• Tip of right hand glove should just be able to reach pad 1
• Bring arms to a relaxed position by sides.

• Place feet a little more than shoulder width apart.


• Left foot should be in line with the middle of pad 10.
• Right foot should be in line with the middle of pad 11.
• Take a half step back with the right foot.
• Take a half step forward with the left foot.
• The above stance is for right handed people called the
ORTHODOX stance.

If a client is left handed the stance is called the SOUTHPAW


stance. The opposite foot stance applies. Advise them to
strike the opposite of the numbers you call.

® 9
STANCE-WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
• Place 60% of your weight on your rear leg.
• Place 40% of your weight on your front leg.
• Bend both knees slightly and elevate your rear heel so that the ball of your rear foot is
supporting your weight.

guard position
Stance
• Bend your elbows to take your hands up to the sides of your chin.
• Keep your shoulders relaxed.

Head Position
• Adjust your head slightly down so that your fists are covering your cheek bones.
• Tuck your chin into your chest.

Elbow Position
• Your elbows should be in snug to the sides of your body/ribcage.

Movement Bouncing
• It’s harder to hit a moving target than a a stationary one. Movement is also great cardio.

Basic Movement

• Bouncing on toes forward & back.


• Stop bouncing & stabalize movement.
• Resume bouncing forward & back.

® 10
HOW TO THROW EACH PUNCH
the jab (straight left)
Definition: A quick straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the
guard position.

Pad Targets: Pad 1


Pad 12

Note: The jab simply travels out from the left side of the chin in a direct
line to pad 1. To use pad 12, do as above and bend the knees and drop
the body into a squat position.

1. Upon landing you must have rotated the hand so that the fist lands square in a horizontal
position.
2. Once you’ve made contact the fist retracts in a straight line directly back to the chin. Do not
drop down to waist or chest area leaving you open to an attack.
3. Whilst executing the jab the right hand must remain fixed to the right side of the chin.
4. Whilst executing the jab the head and chin must be tucked in so the left shoulder covers
the left side of the face and acts as a guard.
5. When executing the jab push off the ball of the rear foot
6. Take a small forward step with the front foot.
7. Rotate your hip and shoulder/upper torso into the punch.
8. Upon contact, push off your front leg transferring your weight onto your rear foot to move
back to guard position.
9. By stepping forward it bridges the gap between you and the BoxMaster® piece, enabling
you to land the punch correctly. Note— the arm must be fully extended.
10. Keep knees bent.

® 11
straight right (right cross)

Definition: The straight right is a punch thrown from the chin whilst in
guard position traveling in a straight line across the body.

Pad Target: Pad 2

Note: Before the straight right is thrown the elbow should be snug
against the ribcage and not flared away from the body. This increases
accuracy and power.

1. Delivery starts at the rear foot, transferring weight to the front foot.
2. The torso and hips are quickly rotated in an counter-clockwise position for extra power.
3. The head stays in guard position.
4. Once the punch is delivered the fist is retracted straight back to the side of the chin for
protection.

® 12
left hooks (foot movement)
Pad Target: Pad 3
• Push off your right foot and take half a step with your left foot
across your opponent.
• As you do this, thrust your hips and torso in a clockwise motion and
snap your elbow from a vertical to a horizontal position, delivering
the punch from your chin in a semi circular motion as described
above.
• Once this is achieved, your arm and fist retract back to your
body and chin for protection, your elbow goes from horizontal
to vertical position.

right hooks (foot movement)


Pad Target: Pad 4

• Push off your right foot and take half a step with your left foot across
your opponent in the direction of the punch.
• As you do this, thrust your hips and torso in a counter clockwise
move delivering the punch from your chin in a semi circular motion
as described above.
• Once this is achieved, your arm and fist retract back to your body
and chin for protection, your elbow goes from horizontal to vertical
position.

® 13
left hooks
Definition: A hook is a semi circular punch delivered from the chin to
the designated pad. Hand angle – upon landing the punch turn your fist
with your thumb facing towards you or towards the roof in a horizontal
position.

Pad Targets: Pad 3 = High Left Hook


Pad 8 = Left Hook

• Resume correct distance and stance.


• A left hook should be delivered with feet as wide as the number 10
and 11 pads. The BoxMaster® post should be directly in the middle
and in front of you.
• When executing the left hook make sure you elevate your elbow from vertical to a
horizontal position as high as your shoulder when rotating to pad 3.
• Make sure your aim is to punch pad 3 aiming your middle knuckles on the number 3
target. If you continue to have problems landing the hook correctly a tip to make it easier
is: move both your feet across to the right hand side approximately 3 to six inches this will
make it easier to land the punches.
DON’T FORGET TO APPLY FOOT MOVEMENT INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED EARLIER.
• When executing short hooks on pads 7 and 8 these same principles apply but you will
have to step to the side of each number for better alignment.
• Because pads 7 and 8 are short hooks you need to bend your knees for a lower elevation.
Remember to keep your elbows at a horizontal elevated position.

® 14
right hooks
Definition: A hook is a semi circular punch delivered from the
chin to the designated pad. Hand angle – upon landing the
punch turn your fist with your thumb facing towards you or
towards the roof in a horizontal position.

Pad Targets: Pad 4 = High Right Hook


Pad 7 = Right Hook

• Resume correct distance and stance.


• A right hook should be delivered with feet as wide as the
number 11 and 10 pads. The BoxMaster® post should be
directly in the middle and in front of you.
• When executing the right hook make sure you elevate
your elbow from vertical to a horizontal position as high
as your shoulder when rotating to pad 4.
• Make sure your aim is to punch pad 4 aiming your middle knuckles on the number 4
target. If you continue to have problems landing the hook correctly a tip to make it easier
is: move both your feet across to the right hand side approximately 3 to six inches this will
make it easier to land the punches.
DON’T FORGET TO APPLY FOOT MOVEMENT INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED EARLIER.
• When executing short hooks on pads 7 and 8 these same principles apply but you will
have to step to the side of each number for better alignment.
• Because pads 7 and 8 are short hooks you need to bend your knees for a lower elevation.
Remember to keep your elbows at a horizontal elevated position.

® 15
the uppercut
Definition: A powerful punch directed upwards from the torso.

Pad Targets: Pad 5 Right uppercut


Pad 6 Left uppercut
• Uppercuts are usually thrown at close range with either hand and
can be a vertical or diagonal punch.
• Like a hook the uppercuts have the same semicircular shape but
come in on different angles.
• The objective of the uppercut is to elevate the opponents head so
you can follow through with a hook or straight punch.

The left uppercut relates to target number 6 and is a diagonal uppercut.


• The left uppercut is delivered from the left hand side of the chin and is a semicircular
punch pushing 40% off the right foot and 60% off the left knee in an upward motion whilst
also thrusting your torso and shoulders in a clockwise movement to deliver the punch up
to pad 6.
• As the punch comes up, your right hand should remain on guard with your chin tucked
into your chest.

The right uppercut relates to target number 5 and is a diagonal uppercut.


• The right uppercut is delivered from the right hand side of the chin and is a semicircular punch
pushing 60% off the left foot and 40% off the right knee in an upward motion whilst also thrusting
your torso and shoulders in a counter clockwise movement to deliver the punch up to pad 5.
• As the punch comes up, your left hand should remain on guard with your chin tucked into your
chest.

® 16
vertical uppercut
Definition: A powerful punch directed upwards from the torso.
Pad Target: Pad 9

• The vertical uppercut is to be delivered to target number 9 with either


the right or left hand using the same upper body techniques as
described for the diagonal uppercut.
• Because of the change in angle the difference in delivering this punch
correctly is that you must place your right foot directly in line with NO
9 target & your left foot infront and off to the LHS inline with NO 10. (Do
the opposite when using the other hand)

left rip (aka low body hook)


Definition: A body shot where you’re aiming towards the ribs using your
left hand.
Pad Target: Pad 11

• The left rip is a semicircular punch.


• Maintain proper stance, left foot in front of right foot with both feet
apart so that your left foot is in front of BoxMaster® tower and your
right foot is out wider than target number 11.
• The target number 11 should be in line with the middle of your
torso.
• Make sure you are standing the correct distance away from the
BoxMaster so that you have room to slightly arch your back and
lean forward with most of your weight over your left knee whilst
slightly bending your right.
• This will allow you to land your punch without crowding the BoxMaster.
• The punch starts by pushing upwards off the balls of both feet but mostly pushing off the
left.
• The punch explodes off the left foot whilst thrusting your hips and torso in a clockwise
movement whilst delivering the punch.
• Plant your right foot flat on delivery.
• After delivery your shoulders are to retract back to their original position and your left fist
goes back to protect the left side of your chin in guard position.

® 17
right rip (aka low body hook)
Definition: A body shot where your aiming for towards the ribs using
your right hand.
Pad Target: Pad 10
• The right rip is a semicircular punch.
• Maintain proper stance, left foot in front of right foot with both feet
apart so that your right foot is in front of BoxMaster® tower and
your left foot is out wider than target number 10.
• The target number 10 should be in line with the middle of your
torso.
• Make sure you are standing the correct distance away from the
BoxMaster so that you have room to slightly arch your back and lean forward with most of
your weight over your right knee whilst slightly bending your left knee.
• This will allow you to land the punch without crowding the BoxMaster.
• The punch starts by pushing upwards off the balls of the feet, but mostly pushing off the
right.
• The punch explodes off the right foot whilst thrusting your hips and torso in a counter
clockwise movement whilst delivering the punch.
• Plant your left foot flat on delivery.
• After delivery your shoulders should retract back to their original position and your right
fist goes back to the right hand side of your chin in guard position.

To gain extra power in executing a ‘Rip’ punch?


• To gain extra power you can take a 3 inch slide/step across before delivering the punch.
• If delivering a left rip push off your left foot and step/slide across right with your right foot.
• If delivering a right rip push off your right foot and step/slide across to your left with your left foot.

® 18
ADDITIONAL BOXING MOVEMENTS
head movement
• When throwing any punch singularly or in a combination there should be some side to
side head movement. For example, when you are throwing a left jab your head should
slightly move right with your left shoulder covering the left hand side of your jaw and right
fist covering the right side of your jaw in guard position.
• When throwing a straight right your head should slightly move left with your right shoulder
covering the right side of your jaw, and your left fist covering the left side of your jaw in
guard position. When throwing a left hook the same rules apply. Shift your head right.
When throwing a right hook the opposite applies.
• When throwing uppercuts it is a very similar movement except you drive your head up
slightly (this does not mean you expose your chin. Keep it tucked away).

bobbing
• To perform a bob, you simply bend both knees quickly and drop your body straight down
without moving side to side or forwards and backwards.
• This will allow you to incorporate your core as well as incorporating a strength component
for the muscles of your lower body.

weaving
• Weaving is the movement of the body from guard position in a U shape with your fists
each side of your chin for protection. Then rotate in a downward circular motion coming
Coming up and around on the other side of your opponents guard, then quickly returning.
• The leg, abdominal and core muscles are engaged for this rapid movement.

Note: The BoxMaster® multi pad is a great tool for weaving. Use its U shape to follow and
have your students weave under and come up and out to the hook and uppercut pads.

slipping
• Slipping is used to avoid a punch or set up an attack by waiting for your opponent to throw
a straight punch. Example: Use a left jab then either shift your head sharply left or right to
make them miss, then counter punching with either your left or right.
• Slipping helps improve good reflexes and speed.

® 19
body and feet movement
Forward
• When moving forward push off the ball of your rear foot.
• Step forward with the front foot making sure that at no time the feet come together.

Back
• Push off the front foot, stepping away and keeping the distance between the legs so you
still maintain balance.

Side (Floating)
• Floating is when you step either left or right (usually used when avoiding a punch or an
opponent).
• Push off your left foot to move right.
• Opposite method applies to moving left.
• When floating side to side feet can come together.

Bouncing on Toes
• This is a simple transferring of your weight from leg to leg, foot to foot.
• This technique can be used in a class format to increase a participants cardio workout
opposed to standing flat footed during a workout and in between combinations.

® 20
HOW TO THROW COMBINATION PUNCHES
introductory workout — round 1
Pad Targets: Pad 1 - Left Jab
Pad 2 - Straight Right
• In a combination punch, the straight right is usually delivered
after a jab. This is commonly known as a 1, 2. This is the most
basic punch combination.
• The shoulders must rotate to the opposite locked position with the
right shoulder touching the side of the chin in a counter clockwise
move. The left hand must retract straight back to the left hand side
of the face covering the chin/jaw area.
• To progress this combination, use 1+1+2 or Southpaw use 2+2+1

round 2
Pad Targets: Pad 1 - Left Jab
Pad 2 - Straight Right

® 26
instructor tips
• If a new student is struggling advise them that a simple 1,2 combo is fine. The class is
about getting a workout and more importantly having fun.
• Get the participants to punch through the target, not to the target.

instructing in the gap area


When instructing, the best way to teach a student is standing in the Gap Area, this is the
area between group 1 and 2.

When explaining a punch or punch combination to group 2, face the group when speaking
to them, however, turn your back to them when demonstrating them the punch.

Set up the group completing the Active Recovery exercise first. Once this is done, it will
allow you to focus on the group using the BoxMaster® and pushing this group for the
remainder of the 90 seconds.

The 2 main things students normally get wrong are:


1. Incorrect stance. For example, feet too close or behind one another (remember as wide
as number 10 & 11).
2. Dropping their hands in between punches.

A BoxMaster class will usually run for approximately 30 minutes. The BoxMaster rounds
should be installed on the wall behind the BoxMaster pieces at a height that allows for all
participants in the class to clearly see.

Below are examples of teaching points that you need to continually reinforce often
throughout the BoxMaster class:

SAFETY – Every participant has liquid and is drinking regularly


SAFETY – Each participants shoe laces are tied up safely
SAFETY – Inspect each participant’s wraps and gloves are secured correctly
FORM – Fists clenched loosely
GUARD – Hands to stay on the side of your jaw at all times excluding the punches
FORM – Feet to stay slightly wider than shoulder width apart
GUARD – Chin tucked in
FORM – Stay on the balls of your feet throughout the class / stabalize when punching then
return to balls of feet
FORM – Stabilise through the core
FORM – Participants are always aiming for the CENTRE of each pad

COMBINATIONS - WORKOUT 1
TRAINERS NOTES
Read BOXMASTER instructor workshop manual before using BOXMASTER. This will give you
a blow-by-blow description on how to throw each punch. Take note of height adjustment,
correct stance and distance from BOXMASTER.

STRUCTURE OF A CLASS
It is recommended that all classes use the introduction round as the first round/warm up
round. It will familiarize the clients with BOXMASTER. Rounds can be from 90 seconds to
2 minutes with a 20 second change over period for the second participant. So 90 seconds
boxing, 90 seconds rest/recovery.

IMPORTANT
Movement is 50% of this workout, so it is important to have students bouncing on toes forward
and back between combinations. Just before executing the combination, stop bouncing,
do the combination then bounce out again on your toes (do not continue bouncing whilst
punching). See BOXMASTER INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOP MANUAL page 20 for description.

COMBINATIONS - WORKOUT 7
TRAINERS NOTES
Read BOXMASTER instructor workshop manual before using BOXMASTER. This will give you
a blow-by-blow description on how to throw each punch. Take note of height adjustment,
correct stance and distance from BOXMASTER.

STRUCTURE OF A CLASS
It is recommended that all classes use the introduction round as the first round/warm up
round. It will familiarize the clients with BOXMASTER. Rounds can be from 90 seconds to
2 minutes with a 20 second change over period for the second participant. So 90 seconds
boxing, 90 seconds rest/recovery.

IMPORTANT
Movement is 50% of this workout, so it is important to have students bouncing on toes forward
and back between combinations. Just before executing the combination, stop bouncing,
do the combination then bounce out again on your toes (do not continue bouncing whilst
punching). See BOXMASTER INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOP MANUAL page 20 for description.
