Flexibility Training

Flexibility training is perhaps the most undervalued component of conditioning. Boxers can gain much from a stretching regime. Increased flexibility may reduce the risk of certain injuries. It may also allow a boxer to move with greater dexterity and finesse as well as landing (and avoiding) a few more punches. A more flexible fighter is a more mobile fighter. It allows enhanced movement around the ring with greater ease and dexterity. Some other benefits may include an increase in body awareness and a promotion of relaxation in the muscle groups stretched - both of which may have positive implications for skill acquisition and performance.
