Some of the most common include:\n\n-Neck Ups- Lie belly down with your head hanging off a flat surface. Lift your neck up, twist side to side, and repeat.\n-Headstand Rolls- this is a very advanced one, I actually got in trouble once for trying to do it without my coach there micromanaging my form. You assume a headstand against a wall and start rolling your head around on the ground.\n-Weighted neck ups- similar exercise, except you use a piece of neck training equipment that straps to your head and lets you hand a small weight plate.

Someone who isn’t actively competing but is sparring and is in the gym a lot should probably train their neck around 2 times a week, but if you’re competing regularly and sparring weekly, then it should be more like 3 times a week. I personally find 4-5 times a week overkill. \n\nNeck training is one of those things that probably seems really strange from the outside looking in, but it's actually fairly commonplace in contact sports, even non-combat ones like football. The benefit of neck training is allowing the athlete to absorb shock better as well as strengthening support for the cervical spine, helping to prevent catastrophic injuries to the spinal cord. It's not a magic button that makes boxing a safe sport, but it does help and even if you aren’t fighting it's a great trick to add into your exercise routine, just don’t overdo it, and be sure to consult a professional trainer to get the most out of neck training.","How often should boxers train their neck?",{"name":206,"created_at":207,"published_at":208,"updated_at":209,"id":210,"uuid":211,"content":709,"slug":206,"full_slug":226,"sort_by_date":48,"position":227,"tag_list":721,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":229,"first_published_at":230,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":722,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":213,"name":214,"category":710,"component":39,"meta_info":718,"block_image":719,"cover_image":720,"internal_notes":7},{"name":140,"created_at":141,"published_at":142,"updated_at":143,"id":144,"uuid":145,"content":711,"slug":140,"full_slug":325,"sort_by_date":48,"position":55,"tag_list":716,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":327,"first_published_at":328,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":717,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":147,"name":148,"topics":712,"component":118,"meta_info":713,"meta_title":7,"block_image":714,"cover_image":715,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[156,184,211,238,265,292],{"_uid":315,"title":316,"plugin":43,"description":317},{"id":319,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":321,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":323,"alt":320,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":320,"filename":324,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":216,"title":217,"plugin":43,"description":218},{"id":220,"alt":221,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":221,"filename":222,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":224,"alt":221,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":221,"filename":225,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"name":657,"created_at":658,"published_at":659,"updated_at":660,"id":661,"uuid":662,"content":724,"slug":672,"full_slug":673,"sort_by_date":48,"position":528,"tag_list":726,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":675,"meta_data":48,"group_id":676,"first_published_at":677,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":727,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"bio":664,"_uid":665,"name":657,"photo":725,"component":670,"social_link_tiktok":7,"social_link_twitter":7,"social_link_website":7,"social_link_youtube":7,"social_link_facebook":7,"social_link_linkedin":671,"social_link_instagram":7,"social_link_pinterest":7},{"id":667,"alt":657,"name":668,"focus":48,"title":657,"filename":669,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"type":729,"content":730},"doc",[731,748,755,759,764,768,784,789,802,807,811,825,829,834,847],{"type":732,"content":733},"paragraph",[734,737,746],{"text":735,"type":736},"Often in movies, you’ll see boxers doing neck strength training, from lifting weights with their neck to doing a headstand while rolling their head around, it's a common trope but how realistic is it?

Whitaker slips to the outside of the jab to pivot right while simultaneously throwing a quick hook/looping jab over the top.\n-Next, the opponent turns to continue the approach, likely behind a high guard. Whitaker brings his rear foot back, giving the appearance of giving ground. When the opponent takes the bait, Whitaker instead steps out to his left, completely misaligning his opponent.\n-As the opponent turns to attack, his punches will be unbalanced and weak, allowing Whitaker to easily dodge and counter with precise, far more powerful punches.\n\nWhitaker was an all-time great when it came to boxing defense, and along with Mayweather, is one of the least hit boxers in history because he took a basic technique and elevated it to an elite level.

Between the ‘Ali Shuffle’ and the Rope-a-Dope, Ali was able to confuse and bewilder opponents to the point where it truly felt like he was a ghost in the ring. Here’s how these two techniques work.\n\nThe Ali Shuffle\n-The Ali Shuffle is a visual trick used to throw off timing. To do the Ali Shuffle, you rapidly switch your front and rear foot back and forth, eventually interrupting this sequence with a punch. \n-The best way to use this technique is to intersperse it in-between stick and move style footwork to throw off the opponent’s rhythm, making them second guess the timing of their punches.\n\nThe Rope a Dope\n-The Rope a Dope is a risky strategy used to frustrate and exhaust a fighter who is low on stamina, preferably a brawler with less than stellar technique. It relies on quick reflexes and the added help of the elastic ring ropes to allow you to wildly dodge punches for an extended period without falling off balance.\n-This strategy works best against heavy-handed boxers that have already thrown a lot of punches, as the Rope a Dope relies on the opponent getting tired to be effective. Save it for the late rounds!\n\nMuhammad Ali is one of the best heavyweights of all time, mostly because he had a defensive edge over the vast majority of his competition, using footwork and hand speed that is usually only found in lower weight classes.

For this drill, the only boxing head movement equipment you’ll need is a long, straight line to follow (preferably tape at least 10-13 feet). Set up your boxing stance on the far end of the line so that each foot is on one side of it with your back to the length of the line. From there, we follow these steps, never letting your feet cross the line.\n\nThe opponent is pressuring with a jab. Slip towards your lead leg, loading up your lead hand.\n\n The opponent tries to catch your slip with a cross.

Shuffle step back while throwing a cross (or uppercut), returning your head to a neutral position. \n\nRepeat step 1\n\nThe goal of this is again to train your body to always naturally move your head when you punch, whether going backward or forward.

Using that conveniently loaded lead hand, hop forward with a check lead hook while shifting weight back to the rear leg, both catching the opponent off balance and again taking your head far out of harm's way\n\nReturn to neutral and repeat the sequence\n\nThe purpose here is twofold. One is to get you used to one of the most common sequences in all of boxing (1-2-3 or 1-2 smother). The other is to train your body to constantly be in motion whether on offense or defense.

Yes Coach, No Coach\nThis is the big one. Boxing gym culture is all about discipline and respect, and if you don’t show that respect to the coaches it will really rub people wrong. If the coach is twenty and you’re 40? Yes coach, no coach. If the coach seems really laid back? Yes coach, no coach. This isn’t an ego trip, even if it seems like it. You call a coach by their title because you’re there to learn from them and in order to learn you have to be willing to show deference to the knowledge of the person teaching you.\n\n2. Sharing is Caring\nA big part of proper gym etiquette, boxing or otherwise, is to not hog the equipment. If there’s only 1 heavy bag, try not to hog it for 12 rounds (unless the coach tells you to). A great way to follow this gym rule is to plan circuit workouts (rotating to a new exercise after 1-2 rounds and simply running the circuit multiple times).\n\n3. Keep it Clean\nNow, this is a big one at my gym especially but it is a basic gym rule in general: when you’ve finished using a piece of equipment, clean it off. Nobody wants to practice clinch drills on a heavy bag dripping with someone else’s sweat. When you finish using something, just give it a quick wipe with a towel before moving on. \n\n4. No Killers in Sparring\nIn most boxing gym workouts you will find yourself sparring. The big boxing gym rule  here is don’t show off in sparring. Sparring can be and is very fun, but it's important that you remember that sparring is practice. Don’t try and take your opponent’s head off, and if you can tell you’re a little above your opponent’s level, take it easy and work your defense. Nobody likes a bully, so work on your technical skills and let them work on their basics. \n\n5. Don’t Dump Your Weights\nJust as important in a boxing gym as anywhere else. Dumping weights is dangerous to both you and the people around you, and also it just kind of makes you look like a drama queen in a place where at least one person is usually training with a broken something or other (which is a bad idea don’t do that either). If you’ve bitten off more than you can chew of course bail on the weight it's better than an injury, but don’t make it a habit.\n\n6. Leave the Weightcut Fighter Alone\nThis is a little piece of proper boxing gym etiquette that is exclusive to combat sports: if you see someone in a sauna suit, and they’ve been hitting the same bag or running on the same treadmill for a long time: leave them alone. They are miserable, tired, hungry, and dehydrated. I promise you, from the bottom of my heart, they do not want encouragement. They want silence so that they can continue to be angry. The only people allowed to talk to the person in the sauna suit are the coach and anyone else currently in a sauna suit. \n\n7. The Golden Rule\nGym etiquette is a little weird to get used to and every spot has its own unique quirks, but the basics mostly boil down to sanitation and common courtesy. ‘Do unto others’ is the golden rule here and as long as you follow that one principle you will get along just fine in almost any gym you walk into. ","What are the basic boxing gym rules? ",{"_uid":1483,"answer":1484,"question":1485,"component":695},"8bb795b0-2a84-4bd7-937b-3f35d6be519f","Boxing gyms can be intimidating places to walk into if you’ve never been to one: everyone knows how to fight, and there’s always that one guy sweating in full sauna gear hitting a bag for 3 hours straight in the back of the room (pro tip, he does not want to talk), and depending on your experience level you might not really know what you’re looking at with a lot of the equipment.

Generally, good headgear will have both a strap on the back of the head and a pouch to keep your chin seated correctly behind the protective padding.\n-Open vs Closed Face - This refers to headgear that leaves the front of the face exposed vs headgear that keeps part of the face protected, usually with a foam bar spanning across the nose. Both are good, I tend to prefer open headgear because it's easier to breathe but if you know you have a nose that is prone to breaking or if you plan on doing full-force sparring, close-faced is best.\n-Adequate Padding - This is extremely important. Boxing headgear is supposed to be bulky because it’s there to absorb impact. You want a good, thick layer of padding at least ½ inch thick at the thinnest area.\n-Not Too Firm, Not Too Soft - You want the headgear to feel firm but with some give. If it's too soft, it won’t be able to absorb and slow impact effectively. If it's too hard, it won’t be able to dissipate the force and will instead allow kinetic force to transfer to your head. ","What should you look for when buying boxing headgear?",{"_uid":1664,"answer":1665,"question":1666,"component":695},"3ab2c158-fe3d-40a2-bf9f-e0d779dede93","Three of our picks for the best headgear on the market currently are:\n-Venum Challenger 2.0\nThis is a great middle-of-the-road headgear, with robust cheek pads and a thick forehead bar, it offers a good compromise between true open-faced or close-faced headgear.
