Warm-up (15-20 min)

  • Jump rope (5 min): To get the blood circulating and improve your cardio.
  • Joint mobilization (5 min): Warm up the important joints: head circles, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles.
  • Shadow Boxing (5-10 min): Without equipment, perform punches and kicks at a moderate pace to wake up your muscles:
    • 3 rounds of 2 minutes with 1 minute rest. Work on your guard, movement, and simple combinations (jab-cross, low kick, middle kick, high kick).

Technical work and pads (30-40 min)

  • Pad work with a partner (10 min per person): One partner holds the pads, the other strikes.
    • Execute simple combinations:
      • Jab-cross, hook, middle kick (back or front).
      • Jab, hook, low kick, knee. Switch every 2-3 minutes to keep a good pace.

Dodging and counter-attacking drills (10 min):

One partner attacks with simple punches (jab-cross, for example). The other dodges and counter-attacks with a predefined combination (e.g.: lateral dodge + low kick or body hook).

Clinch work (5-10 min):

Practice neck clinches, off-balances, and knee strikes. Do 2-minute rounds.

Physical conditioning (20-30 min)

Tabata kickboxing (8 sets of 20s work, 10s rest):

  • Round 1: fast punches (jab-cross combinations)
  • Round 2: middle kick left/right.
  • Round 3: knee strikes.
  • Round 4: jab, hook, knee, middle kick combinations.

Specific strength training:

  • Jump squats (3 sets of 20 reps): to work on leg strength.
  • Push-ups (3 sets of 20 reps): to strengthen arms and chest.
  • High knees (3 sets of 1 minute): to improve cardio and reactivity.
  • Heavy bag work or light sparring (20-30 min)

Light sparring (10-15 min):

Work on control, without trying to hurt. Do 2- or 3-minute rounds with 1-minute rest in between.

Heavy bag work (if you have a punching bag) (10-15 min):

5 rounds of 2-3 minutes with 1-minute breaks. Focus on different aspects: power, speed, precision.

Cool-down and stretching (10-15 min)

Dynamic stretches: Stretch your legs (hamstrings, quadriceps, calves) and arms (chest, shoulders, triceps). Breathing: Practice slow breathing to promote recovery.

Variation if you want to mix things up:

  • Circuit Training: Alternate boxing exercises with strength training. Ex: 1 min of bag work + 1 min of jump squats + 1 min of shadow boxing + 1 min of burpees (repeat 3-4 times).
