Boxing technique involves a combination of footwork, stance, and punching skills. A proper stance keeps the boxer balanced, with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. This allows for quick movement in any direction. Footwork is essential for both offense and defense, enabling a boxer to evade punches and create angles for effective strikes. Punching techniques include the jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. Each punch has a specific purpose and requires proper form to maximize power and accuracy. Boxers must also learn to protect themselves by keeping their hands up and using head movement to avoid incoming punches, ensuring they remain safe while delivering their own attacks.
