Go to a pub / bar wearing the wrong team's uniform / kit / colors.

>free practice

Fastest and best way to learn is to take classes. Watch videos online as well too.
Set up a place to spar hard with your friends.
Have a mattress you practice punching. Put a picture on it of someone you hate, like an ex or Justin Bieber.
Keep consistent.

OP, find your closest boxing gym and they'll throw you into a routine. Be sure to buy your own wraps and maybe gloves (I recommend Rival for just training, they're great heavy bag gloves). Word of warning, in the beginning, coaches won't be giving you individual attention in favor of training other kids that have been there longer than you. Gotta prove you're willing to stay and be resilient.

>Get a pair of wraps and a pair of 12oz gloves
>make or build a heavy bag
>punch the shit out of it for atleast a hour doing 5min rounds with 30 sec rests between rounds always moving your feet
if after 3 months or so of doing this every day you still wann learn to box go sign up for a local boxing gym

Will The mattress get damaged after awhile?

How do you make a heavy bag?

buy a millitary surplus duffel bag and fill it with sand or rags or whatever

Bad advice.

Just show up at a gym and join their beginners class. It'll feel like a cardio-boxing class, but you'll learn how to throw a proper 1-2-3 combination.

Just get fucking started. Nothing worse than seeing a new guy come in who has shitty tech bc he's been training on his own.

Or run a couple miles every other day, shadow box for half n hour a day, and jump rope for another 30, daily.

Youtube's cool, but most just cover strats; ya really should take a class if ya don't wanna grow sloppy.

Go take a class, boxing gyms are fairly common in most cities. Hell, I know of one near where I live that does their classes free.

If you can't take a class, you can emulate -most- of a boxing lesson at home minus the sparring and the technical corrections. Soon enough you WILL need to spar and to have your form checked or you will not be competent in fighting.

boxing training is done in rounds, for the entire hour and a half of a training session. Get a boxing timer ( 3 minutes of action , then one of rest, throughout) and start it.

Now do 8 rounds of physical training, 8 rounds of technical training ( then sparring would come in at 8 rounds too but you cant right).

For physical do: jumping rope, abwork and shadow box a mirror.

For technical do: speed bag, heavy bag, water bag, footwork drills, slipping drills, bob and weave drills. You can find many on youtube.

You don't have a buddy so you can't spart or ddo padwork but this is at least a start to get in shape.

Find a gym, and have fun!

no matter what you do. don't try and teach yourself OP, you'll end up skipping over all the little details and it will just be a mess, go to an actual boxing gym, you'll work harder in a gym too
