Recently, there has been a surge in calls about boxing, mixed martial arts, sanda including Muay Thai and traditional martial arts. The person in charge of a boxing gym in Beijing said in an interview with China News Service that most of the customers consulted were women, most of whom were white-collar workers between the ages of 23 and 30, who mainly consulted after work in the evening. A significant number of people want to use physical confrontation sports such as boxing to shape and lose fat, improve their defensive ability, and increase their self-confidence. Mixed martial arts, sanda, Muay Thai, wrestling, including Wing Chun, Da Shing Boxing, Xingyi Boxing, Tong Bei Boxing, etc., which are more practical in traditional martial arts, are also heating up at the same time.
According to Guo Shijun's visit, not only gym-type training institutions are actively welcoming the sudden "boxing boom", but some fitness institutions are also adjusting their business in a timely manner and launching experience courses such as boxing, fighting fighting, sanda, and Muay Thai.
We quickly connect with college students with relevant majors in sports colleges and some professionals with this ability. The person in charge of the operation of a fitness institution in Beijing said in an interview with China News Service that retired athletes in related majors are of course the preferred targets for coaches, but now they are in demand and their value has increased sharply. Some people with expertise in this area, athletes who have changed careers or former graduates are also trying to let them serve as coaches or part-time coaches after passing the assessment.
Stay away from risk. The sport of boxing is on fire, but is the sport risky for the average person?
There is no problem with boxing**, but if you train blindly or even in actual combat, you can get injured at least and risk life-threatening at worst. ”
Yin Yu, the medical arbitrator of the 2008 Beijing Olympics boxing competition and the deputy director of the sports medicine department of Peking University Third Hospital, who has served as a medical expert for the Olympic national team for many times, said in an exclusive interview with China News Service that boxing is the only sports competition with medical arbitration, and the competition is terminated in time to protect the athlete's injury or even endanger his life. Because of the sport's direct blow to the head, he had seen a foreign fighter suffer a cerebral hemorrhage while performing a medical arbitration.
Is it appropriate to make boxing a hobby and a means?
Wang Meng, a three-star referee of the International Boxing Federation and coach of the Beijing boxing team, said in an interview with China News Service that boxing is a high-intensity aerobic exercise that can effectively burn fat and improve metabolism. In boxing training, participants need to move, jump, punch, etc., frequently, and these movements require a huge amount of energy. When energy consumption exceeds the energy intake of the body, the body will start to burn fat, thus achieving the best effect. Boxing also boosts participants' cardiorespiratory fitness, accelerates metabolism, and further boosts**.
At the same time, professional boxers often face the problem of losing weight in order to cope with the weight class they are suitable for. Use slimming clothes, increase the frequency of physical training, control calorie intake, and reasonably match nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates and fats to ensure good health and results, these methods can also be used as a reference for shaping enthusiasts. However, if the physical and technical level is not up to the standard of actual combat or competition, and blindly participate, the injury can be fatal.
Wang Meng said that in the world, boxers participate in competitions with strict restrictions on boxing age and qualifications, which is also to prevent players from being in danger in the competition due to lack of professionalism. Basic boxing training is very hard and boring, and professional athletes will never be allowed to participate in combat training until they have met the requirements. However, some non-professional organizations arrange actual combat too early in order to increase the interest of students, which will bring great risks.
Scientific exercise. Isn't it okay to just do daily training if you don't play games easily?
There is also the possibility of injury during training. Yin Yu said that although it is rare, there are precedents for boxers to be injured in training.
Fingers, wrists, cervical spine, lumbar spine, etc. are all common parts of sports injuries, and the professional guidance of professional coaches is crucial.
So how can you find professional training institutions and professional coaches?
Wang Meng believes that athletes who have served in the national team and provincial teams and have played in competitions generally have relatively solid basic skills and movements, and in principle, they can guide training under the premise of ensuring safety, and they are also familiar with various necessary software and hardware facilities and their use. It would be better if these players had a lot of experience in big regular competitions.
As long as these professional athletes are coaches, they can generally meet the needs of their hobbies, and there are some boxing clubs where the coaches and athletes are also very professional and excellent.
In addition, some parents began to sign up their children for boxing classes after watching the "Hot and Hot" movie. Wang Meng said that there are three points to pay attention to in order for young people to learn boxing:
First, parents should not blindly follow the trend. Try to follow and cultivate children's interests, so as to encourage and supervise children to persist for a long time, and do not develop the habit of giving up halfway;
Second, don't rush things. We must uphold the basic principle of step-by-step scientific training to avoid the occurrence of injury accidents;
Third, be sure to find a professional boxing coach to guide the training, and don't be greedy for cheap. At present, the level of teachers in the gym is uneven, and the fish and dragons are mixed. Many non-professional boxing coaches "abuse the number", which will not only mislead people's children but also bring great injury risks to teenagers.
How to protect yourself in boxing?
Wang Meng suggested that first of all, we should arrange the training time and intensity reasonably. Boxing is a high-intensity aerobic exercise, and overtraining can easily cause physical fatigue and injury. Therefore, participants need to arrange the training time and intensity reasonably according to their physical condition to avoid excessive fatigue and injury.
The most important thing is not to be in a hurry to fight in real combat, for boxing, everyone's perception and talent are different, after the judgment of professional coaches, after permission, and then gradually participate in actual combat according to the requirements, resolutely not impulsive.
For example, after reaching a certain level of one's own level, under professional protection, you can first engage in conditional actual combat. That is, both sides try to fight with a lot of restrictions in terms of movement, strength and even range of motion, and then gradually according to the judgment of the coach.
Wang Meng believes that boxing is a very good sport for fitness and shaping, but there is no absolute good or bad in the sports itself, as long as it moves, it has the effect of fitness. Exercise has risks, fully warm up, exercise scientifically under professional guidance, seriously and attentively, you can avoid most of the unexpected risks. For good ** and fitness results, it is important to be consistent with all sports, including boxing.
You can't let the enthusiasm for sports drop faster than the popularity of a movie. Wang Meng said.
