Boxing is a popular combat sport that has existed for centuries. In this post, i'll give you tips on how to apply boxing for self-defense.* Disregard the rules - The first step in using boxing for self-defense is ditching the rules. Forget about scoring points, sports strategy, fighting, and any rules in combat sports. They will only hinder your ability to effectively defend yourself.
* Keep it simple - Don't learn fast and unrealistic combos. The longer your combos. are, the more opportunities your attacker has of interrupting them. You'll also waste time and energy. Your aim should be to simply knock out your attacker by hitting vital targets such as the head. See my post "vulnerable body parts for self-defense." for more.
* Train with proper physical conditioning - Remember that in the streets, you won't have padded protection. Therefore you'll need to condition your body to fight without gloves. Iron body training is a great way to condition your hands to deliver powerful blows without breaking your fists. You can read more about it in my post "how to apply iron body training in self-defense."* Learn what's useful - There's many methods that are practical for combat such as shadow-boxing, sparring, slipping, ducking, bobbing and weaving, rolling with punches, list goes on. You should only train for what you will likely encounter in the street.
* Modify boxing for self-defense - Boxing alone is not enough for self-defense. Remember that you'll be facing weapons, multiple attackers, etc. In order to use boxing effectively for self-defense, you must develop other essential skills. You might want to speed up the timing of your strikes or modify them to make them more economical. You might also want to incorporate dirty fight tactics, trapping, kicking, grappling, improvised weapons, and other useful skills for combat.
