Boxing

Today's Boxer
Today's athletes are bigger, faster, and stronger. Science has evolved at an alarming rate. We now understand the intricate nature of how the human body works. This knowledge has a direct carryover to the world of boxing. Boxing is an explosive, anaerobic sport.

The act of throwing punches, round after round, while contending with an attacking opponent is a daunting task. Boxing is perhaps the most physically demanding sport of all.

As a boxer, you must punch, slip, and block with split second movements and reactions. A boxer must be prepared to fight with intensity, round after round. Your body must be conditioned to throw the same explosive punches in the last round that you started with in round one.

At Sting gym we offer the best introduction to boxing you can possibly want.

Amateur
Amateur boxing bouts are short in duration and fighters wear head protection, so this type of competition prizes point scoring (based on number of clean punches landed) rather than physical power. Bouts comprise 3 rounds of 1 minute intervals

Professional
Professional boxing, or what is also known as prize fighting, emerged in the early twentieth century as boxing gradually attained legitimacy and became a regulated, sanctioned sport. Professional boxing bouts are fought for a bounty, which is divided among the fighters and promoters as determined by contract. A state athletic commission to guarantee the fighters' safety must approve all legal professional bouts. Additionally, most high-profile bouts obtain the endorsement of a private sanctioning body, which awards championships, establishes rules, and assigns referees. Professional bouts are typically much longer than amateur bouts, and can last up to twelve rounds. Rounds are (3) minutes in length.

Sting Gym MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

As one of the fastest growing sports in the world, just about everyone has heard of MMA in one form or another. Whether it's the UFC, CFC and Fightforce, people are coming to appreciate the level of athleticism, courage and training it takes to step into the ring or cage. In the early 1990's the UFC and the Gracie family burst onto the scene with "No Rules" fighting and immediately put into the question the effectiveness of many traditional martial art styles. Although the original competitions were highly criticized as being barbaric and scrutinized by politicians, they did teach one very important lesson: the best martial art style was not having ONE, but instead a blend of several arts including striking, wrestling, and submissions. Classes often mix striking and submission drills with pad work, grappling, light sparring, and practicing takedowns and takedown defences. Our mixed martial arts class will challenge you physically each day with our rigorous training routine, but will also inspire your desire to learn as you master new skills each training session.
