Boxing 101

Expert advice from Conrad Corbiere, the former competitive kickboxer and current director of operations at Rumble “If you’re off balance, you don’t control where your weight goes and all that force ends up going through your hand at a funny angle. That’s when injuries happen. And keep your fists clenched on impact. When you hit with a lot of force, but the structural support isn’t there, your wrist will fold on impact and that hurts like crazy.” should hit the same spot.”

“These are shorter range punches. Keep your palm in so your thumb’s up, kind of like you’re holding a beer mug. Because the punch is coming around and finishes coming in towards you, you want a little bit of a bend in your wrist inward.”
