Kiwisport | Boxing

LI: to learn how to box, and also to keep our physicality and mentality fit
For Term Four's Kiwisport we did Boxing. Our instructor was Pax. Pax first taught us the three commandments. The three commandments were: Respect, Discipline, and Safety. We had to respect our coach, peers, and the equipment. We had to be discipline so we can control ourselves and behave properly.

After that we put on our gloves and we learned a stance, we learned about a position that was called "Rock". What w had to do to complete the position was to: spread legs out a little bit more than shoulder, put right leg back, bend knees a little bit, then both hands under yes, and elbows protect torso. The reason it is called Rock is because, when you are in this position you should be solid and shouldn't break the position.

Later we learned a punch called the Jab. We punched the Jab with our left because our left leg is forward. So how w do the Jab is just to punch it straight out, with our knuckles down. After we learned another punch called the Cross. The Cross is kinda the same as the Jab, but it puts more power. The power comes from the legs, and you punch the cross with your right hand. So when you do the cross, you punch it straight out. But when you punch it straight out, your hips should twist, and your right heel should lift up.
