Boxing uses a simple numbering system to name punches during training.

• The 1, your jab: a quick straight punch with your lead hand, used to measure distance.
• Number 2, the cross: a strong rear-hand shot driven across the body.
• Numbers 3 and 4, the hooks: side-on shots aimed at the head or the body.
• 5 and 6 – the uppercuts: rising punches with your lead hand (5) and rear hand (6).

With a tutor, you learn the numbering alongside the footwork that powers it.

A private boxing lesson in Taunton costs approximately £20/h.

The cost depends on:

• Your level: whether you want fitness boxing or competitive training.
• Coaching background: how many years they have trained boxers.
• Session type: duration and frequency of your sessions.
• Location: in-person sessions versus remote coaching.

Most coaches offer a free trial lesson so you can test their approach.

Learning boxing on your own is possible if you focus on the fundamentals first.

• Footwork and stance: keep your hands up, chin down and weight balanced.
• Shadow work: throw slow combinations to build muscle memory.
• Heavy bag training: work on rhythm and accuracy against the bag.
• Conditioning: skip, run and train your core to build stamina.

With a coach, you get feedback on every punch and avoid picking up injuries.
