Kickboxing
The idea of sparring is to practice your kickboxing techniques with a partner. With your gym buddie throw as many punches as you can and learn from your mistakes if you don’t land a punch. Always warm up prior to your workout. By warming up you will have your muscles ready so they aren’t stiff for the workout!
TOP TIPS
- Never take your eyes off your partner
- Keep your feet in your stance at all times
- Retract your punches back to your chin for protection
- Start at a slow & comfortable pace to reduce fear and flinching
- Always set your feet before you punch or kick
- Keep your distance from your partner, to simulate a real situation
- Throw combinations, the more you throw, the more you land
- Keep your feet moving in a rhythm
- Stay focused and controlled. No one wants to get injured.
