Team sports, for the most part, center around a group of people manipulating a ball of some kind in order to score points. Individual sports, on the other hand, focus on challenging the capabilities of the will, mind and body of a single competitor. Each contest measure the participant to find the fastest, strongest or the one with the greatest endurance. There is one endeavor that requires all three, and one enters through boxing classes.
In general people who say they do not enjoy the sport find it to be a violent event that appeals only to those who enjoy seeing people bent on injuring one another. This view reflects that the person holding it has never engaged in a bout and has no understanding of the skills and strategies required. Far from just two people bludgeoning one another, it is a test of wills, stamina and expertise.
While it may appear that each fighter has only one thing on heir mind, to hit the other person and knock them out. In actuality, they must pay careful attention not to violate the rules, which afford each contestant a measure of safety and the assurance that a fair effort will be employed. While other sports suffer through rules interpretations, video replays and the occasional violence of anger, fighting is the purpose here, and it is conducted within standards.
If there was any question about whether there is room in fighting for elegance and style, one need look no further than the irreplaceable Mohammad Ali. He had a way to demonstrate that it was about strategy and skill as well as strength and speed. With each generation of fighters, one will rise to the top and seem virtually invincible, until the next one arrives.
The athletes who enter this sport are among the fittest, as it is a grueling and brutal event with no break from the action. Those who have tried it at the amateur level understand that it is a truly testing competition. With the adrenalin and excitement, just keeping the gloves up for three minutes feels like running a marathon.
As one continues down the learning path, the ability to control the natural adrenalin rush and channel the energy productively slowly gains traction. Instead of keeping track of 10 other teammates to execute a play, the focus turns inward to control and measured execution. Through study and experience each person discovers their strengths and how to use them effectively.
Preparation for a scheduled match against a specified challenger is as scientific as volleyball teams observing the rival team in their last contest searching for openings. Tendencies and mistakes are carefully recorded in the mind with the concomitant strike that will most effectively take advantage. Simply hitting the other boxer has little impact, landing punches inside the defense is what makes all the difference, and that requires talent, strength and speed.
The goal of entering the ring to face an individual challenger one on one in a fair bout takes courage. This is one of the carry over characteristics of the sport that help in real life. Instead of making one a violent, aggressive person, boxing classes teach a confidence that allows an individual to be calm and successful.
