![]() The ring is the ultimate test in boxing, nothing else. And for many beginners, the ring makes them quit. Everyone looks like a superstar athlete until they get in the ring. The ring exposes everyone and most especially the beginners. How about all 3 in a row? STILL NO PROBLEM! We don’t need to train for anything, BECAUSE WE’RE ALWAYS TRAINING. We’re always up for a run, always ready to train, always ready to spar, always ready to play in every other sport with our friends because our bodies are conditioned for it. Conditioning is something beginners do to get in shape and transition from their unhealthy lifestyles. How was I ever able to get to this level? By living like an athlete. I can do it even after an all-day boxing workout. I’m athletic from the moment I wake up until the moment I go to bed. ![]() I am an athlete 24/7, 364 days all year round. Athletes are very physically capable people. This is something only serious athletes will ever understand. Instead of trying to throw faster punches with more power…how about throwing faster punches with less power? (The less power you try to have on your punch, the easier it is to throw it quickly.) Instead of having all 5 punches with maximum power and maximum speed, why not try throw some of them at high speed and then only adding maximum power for the ones that are more likely to land? I see so many guys trying to throw faster combinations by using more energy. Being able to get the same results with less work, will allow you to do more. And the less that you need to do, the more you will be able to do. Don’t throw with 100% when 80% will do the trick. Don’t jump 12 inches when you only need to cover 3 inches. It sounds like I’m telling you to be lazy or be conservative but I’m not. Instead of trying to do as much as you can, try doing only what is necessary. You will ALWAYS get tired if all you do is try to use all your energy and do everything with full force. They go crazy inside the ring and use far more movement than is necessary. They’re always trying to use as much energy as possible and do everything the hard way. The biggest problem is that beginners train with the wrong attitude. The most obvious indicator of a beginner fighter is that he still gets tired. Some last a few rounds, some last a few hours, but sooner or later, they all get tired. Getting tired is one of those things that only happens to noobs. What does it take to stop being a beginner? Here’s what it takes to get beyond the beginner level… You’ll need all of these skills if you ever hope to become an “advanced fighter”. I’ve compiled a list of qualities that I see in many intermediate fighters. What is it that all the skilled fighters have?
