KADIR'S BOXING SCHOOL

Boxing training incorporates technical skill development, bag work, live partner drills, and targeted physical conditioning. Here is a rundown of  some of the training we do - 

​

1. Technical & Solo  Drills

​

• Shadowboxing: Practicing combinations, footwork, slipping, and defensive maneuvers in front of a mirror or in open space without physical targets.

​

• Footwork & Agility Drills: Utilizing agility ladders, cone drills, and stance-pivoting exercises to improve balance, distance control, and ring positioning.

​

• Defensive Reaction Drills: Working with slip bags, maize bags, or weave ropes to practice head movement, bobbing, and weaving under dynamic targets.

 

    2. Bag Work

 

• Heavy Bag Work: Developing power output, punch mechanics, endurance, and multi-punch combination flow against high resistance.

​

• Double-End Bag Work: Refining rhythm, timing, head movement, and rapid hand-eye coordination using a tension-tethered target.

​

• Speed Bag Work: Building hand speed, shoulder endurance, cadence, and persistent upper-body guard awareness.

​

• Aqua Bag: Targeting curved power shots, hooks, and uppercuts from inside angles.

 

    3. Partner & Coach Work

 

• Focus Mitts / Coach Pads: Executing specific combinations, defense-to-offense transitions, and counter-punching sequences called dynamically by a trainer.

​

• Body Protector Work: Practicing heavy body shots and high-impact combinations with realistic target feedback.

​

• Partner Technical Drills: Controlled block-and-counter or jab-defense exchanges with a partner without full-contact intensity.

​

    4. Sparring

 

• Touch / Technical Sparring: Light-contact practice emphasizing movement, distance management, timing, and trying new setups safely.

• Conditional / Position Sparring: Sparring restricted to specific constraints (e.g., corner work, jab-only exchanges, or inside fighting).

• Hard Sparring: Simulated match conditions at race pace to test ring generalship, stamina, and composure under high pressure.

​

   5. Strength & Conditioning

 

• Roadwork & Cardio: Distance running, hill sprints, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and jump rope (skipping) to build aerobic and anaerobic capacity.

​

• Core & Rotational Training: Medicine ball throws, Russian twists, ab wheel rollouts, and plank variations to maximize kinetic power transfer.

​

• Calisthenics & Resistance: Push-ups, pull-ups, neck conditioning, and light dumbbell/band work targeting fast-twitch shoulder endurance.
