Distance in Boxing is perhaps the most important difference between a good boxer and an excellent boxer. It is an element that is difficult to teach and in itself can not be applied if it is not framed by complementary features.
LEARN EVERYTHING ABOUT BOXING
But let us first determine the correct distance. The athlete who competes in order to be safe from the strikes, must be one step away from the opponent's longest hit (in other martial arts we calculate the longest hit or kick applied). Thus, it has as reaction time for defense or strike the time the opponent has to go to cover this distance and hit. Someone who has been involved in martial arts even a little, understands that we are talking about a very short distance and fractions of a second.
In the very early stages, we usually see athletes far away doing a lot steps to reach to hit or very close resulting in "crashing" the opponent, falling down, on the ropes, etc. But what are the information that the boxer must have in order to apply the ideal distance that the sport protects? Reflexes may be the easiest answer, but they are not the only ones. The experience that the boxer gains with training and competitions usually offers good distance, but what are the individual elements that make it up?
The very short distance that must be maintained in a race requires athletes to have the strength, going against the instinct of survival, which protects them to move away (at least), to stay cool near an opponent who is preparing a storm of blows. This is an element that is built over time and with great care by the coach. Thus, the boxer over time acquires an "eye", reflexes and correct judgment for the movement. αντίδοτο στην κίνηση του αντιπάλου.
Also, the boxing rhythm and flow are essential elements. Rhythm is the starting point of boxing, which in combination with the boxing flow ensures the athlete maintains the most favorable position for attack and defense. This is essentially what is required in boxing, to put the opponent in your game and not to enter his.
