Fight Fit Boxing Workout 1

This Anime Inspired Fight Fit routine, Boxing Workout 1, can help warriors learn some of the basic skills in the art of boxing.

I've recently been watching Hajime No Ippo and there is no doubt that he is one talented warrior in the ring. He can throw powerful punches at lightning paced speeds, manuever around strikes with ease and even predict some of his opponents next moves. Although I wouldn't consider him to be the "best" boxer in the series, his determination and drive to learn the basics as a wannabe boxer and transforming into a worthy opponent is quite motivating. This Fight Fit routine, Boxing Workout 1, can help warriors learn some of the basic punch combinations used in boxing.
