How many hours a day do boxers train?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Two and a half is the average; the general rule with Boxing, is road work every morning, shower, go to work, then go to the Boxing gym for 2 hours. I say 30 minutes because that is roughly how long it takes non-competitive joggers and runners to run 7 miles, the required length for Boxing fitness. Road work, according to the rules, should be at least 7 miles, preferably uphill. Although, downhill wind sprints are also good for overall foot speed.

Your average champion, trains for about 4 hours, where Rocky Marciano had the dubious distinction of training for 14. Marciano's obsessive training was rooted in his lack of talent, and athleticism; he was good at other sports, but not great, and he even had trouble skipping rope when he first started. Plus, he started at 26, which is really late for a pro fighter. In short he had to compensate for lack of ring experience, age, and talent.

Miyamoto Musashi states in his "Book of Five Rings," that ultimately, anybody can be an outstanding fighter, or rather his exact words were "anybody can be a warrior," if they train hard enough. The thing is, Musashi stated, it doesn't change the fact that talent is talent, and the profession a man should pick, is whatever comes easiest to them. If there is a conflict between how fast you are learning what you are wanting to learn, and your person, then you chose the wrong profession. If what you are doing is easy for you, then you are in the right profession.

Again; Miyamoto Musashi, Japan's greatest swordsman, in fact valued hard training over talent. But, he was also a pragmatist who cautioned, not all men have that kind of time. Would it have been possible for any Joe Schmoe back in the 80's to have toppled Tyson for example? Absolutely; if he had the build, and was willing to put himself through 14 hour training days. But would it be a wise thing to do, if he had college to complete? NOOO. See THAT, is Musashi's point. Natural talent is not the have all, end all, and be all of any combat skill, work actually matters more, a lot more in fact. Through work alone, a person with no talent will indeed drop a talented lazy one.

So where am I going with this? If you stink at Boxing, you are looking at some long-ass hours in the gym. However I am not one of those people who will tell you "give up, you suck; if you are not the lead dog, the view never changes" people, because, let me say right off the bat those people are all retards. Any hard enough work, will yield results, talent or no. However life is short, Musashi said, so its best to stick with things you are good at. If because of circumstance though you have no choice but to fight, and you stink at fighting........better clear your schedule, and set up those 14 hour training days, and if you need money, heavy labor jobs are the best thing there is for Boxing. Your job will make you strong, and give you punching power.

I heard a rumour that it was 11th August but he won't tell anyone. Some think he won't tell anyone because it's due the same time as the Wimbledon final. That would mean choosing between being at the birth of his child or winning the title. ooh, exciting!

How many hours a day do ultimate fighters train?

User Avatar

Asked by Herb123

fighters or martial artists train up to 4 to 6 hours a day there is something that probably most people do not get. its not the quantity of time that matters but the quality. so if you train for 6 hours but can only have high quality for 1 hour then the remaining 5 hours are no use unless they are for endurance training. for example if you are learning a specific technique and you trained with high quality for the first 10 minutes then did 50 minutes with no concentration and low quality then you are destroying the quality of the first 10 minutes. so when learning techniques train only as long as you can maintain your quality and if you find you lost concentration then shift to endurance training. hope it helps.
