The numbers 1 to 6 are a shorthand for the six core punches in boxing.

• 1 – the jab: a fast lead-hand shot that sets up the rest of the combination.
• Number 2, the cross: a strong rear-hand shot driven across the body.
• 3 and 4 – the hooks: curved punches with your lead hand (3) and rear hand (4).
• Numbers 5 and 6, the uppercuts: upward shots thrown from below the guard.

Once you know the numbers, you can follow any combination a coach calls out.

Boxing tutors in Harrow typically charge £38/h per hour.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Skill level: whether you want fitness boxing or competitive training.
• Coaching background: their qualifications and track record in the ring.
• Lesson format: the package you choose, one-off or regular.
• Where you train: at a gym, at home or online via video call.

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your budget.

Teaching yourself boxing starts with mastering your stance, guard and footwork.

• Stance and guard: stand side-on with soft knees and your elbows tucked in.
• Shadow work: throw slow combinations to build muscle memory.
• Bag work: use a punch bag to develop power and timing.
• Fitness and movement: drill footwork so you move smoothly in and out of range.

Self-teaching builds a base, but a coach spots the mistakes you cannot see.
