You have no doubt on your journey to self defense thought of kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, or even classes for defense. Many class teachers suggest the best defense is a strong fitness routine like P90-X… Maybe if your plan is to run away, lol. While there is no doubt that strong fitness will help you defend yourself against a street attack, why not combine fitness, strength and fighting together for ultimate self defense and fitness?

So today, I’m going to share the top 4 reasons why you should be using boxing fitness to get yourself in crazy shape and for maximum defense results. Forget about kickboxing, muay thai and just straight out fitness training… Boxing fitness will sky rocket your self defense skills and endurance you’ll need to defend yourself against a street attack. So let me tell you exactly why…

1. Interval training

Because most boxing fitness exercises are done in “rounds” you’re getting that invaluable interval training. Training in intervals has been proven in research to get lightening fast fitness results. So if you want to defend yourself, boxing fitness will take your fitness level to the stratosphere super quick. Interval training prepares you for self defense because an attacker may chase you, may fend off a defense, and come back again. So training in rounds will help to keep your endurance levels up when you have to start, stop, start, stop.

2. Upper body strength

For self defense, it’s vital to build shoulder strength… And boxing fitness focuses on upper body strength…

3. Fighting training

Boxing fitness routines and exercises teach you how to defend yourself. A combination of the jab, cross, uppercut and hook are great for fitness and defense. A heavy bag workout routine will provide the confidence necessary for defending yourself.

4. Quick on-your-feet training

The exercises and training in rounds require you to move your feet. For example, a great heavy bag workout for self defense is to punch around the bag. Walk around the bag hitting the top, hitting the sides, and hitting the bag with hooks. In self defense, hooks provide a strong defense because of the power of this punch. You can also use hooks to hit someone in multiple areas including face and kidneys. By moving around the heavy bag you’ll build endurance and gain confidence in your feet movements… Absolutely necessary for self defense.

I can’t stress how great boxing fitness is for defending yourself. In my opinion, it is the #1 tool for defending yourself against a street attack, at a night club and for gaining uber confidence.
