Keep your cool and pound the bag less forcefully to increase your endurance, maintain your form, and increase your punching power. As a result, you’ll have more time to do effective bagwork throughout your workout. Instead of spending most of your time on the bag puffing and huffing to prove you have “heart,” you should save your energy so that you can strike the bag with proper form and keep your punches quick. Avoid wasting time trying to impress others with your luggage skills, since they really couldn’t care less.
You shouldn’t push yourself to the point of collapse throughout your workouts. Make yourself exhausted, sweat, and continually increase your level of exertion. Overtraining and eventually giving up boxing are likely outcomes of training to exhaustion seven days a week for no apparent reason.
Hydrate thoroughly. Minimum of one cup every hour.
Make new acquaintances and show some humility by asking for advice from more experienced boxers in the gym. If you’re a boxer and someone else manages to defeat you, it’s in your best interest to find out how they accomplished it.

Use your full body as a punching bag. Most beginners have slow feet, but if you punch a bit slower, you’ll land more powerful blows. To paraphrase, you should punch as rapidly as your body can spin without sacrificing strength. When punching, utilize your full body, not just your arms.
Use short punches, such as hooks and uppercuts, but lengthy jabs.
Throwing a series of knockout blows is not always necessary. Use a variety of punching techniques, from mild to strong, and trick off your opponent by moving your head. Keep in mind that the more effort you put in, the more forcefully they will respond, and the more severely you will be harmed. Just chill down and strike your heavy blows when you can.
Be sure to visit the body regularly. You may try a right hand to the body and a jab to the head. When you’re up close, suffocate him by leaning your head inside and giving him two or three blows to the body.
Use no more than three to five punch combinations. You don’t have to rely on 10-punch combinations; they’ll just leave you exhausted and vulnerable to counterattacks. Put an immediate halt to any training in these.
Keep your eyes on your target and exhale as you punch. You shouldn’t squish your lungs or your eyes to the floor. Master the art of maintaining focus in the midst of intense combat!
Relax your grip! Don’t just sit there and take your opponent’s blows all day long. Don’t worry if what you’re throwing doesn’t land. Try to keep him guessing and be on the lookout for additional punching chances.

Don’t panic and make sure you never stop breathing. If you feel yourself beginning to panic, politely request that the other person calm down.
Keep your head and elbows down and your hands raised.
If your opponent is being too aggressive, you don’t need to spend time going around the ring; simply take one stride and turn out of the path. Imagine yourself a matador who, when the bull misses, pivots out of harm’s path. If he hits you, you must respond in kind.
When taking a punch, keep your head up and your eyes on your opponent (this is especially hard for most beginners). Take a stand, and then defend it with force. Turn the tables to avoid being countered.
Never wait for an opponent’s punch to land before throwing one of your own. Ignore his combos and go for his face. A lot of fast fighters waste their time dodging blows instead of throwing their own. Relax your grip!
