This morning’s Triple C Boxing Fitness personal training session focused on that punch: the overhand right. It’s a classic boxing shot, often used to come over the top of a guard or catch someone as they move in. In a fitness session, though, the aim isn’t to hurt anyone. The aim is to learn clean movement, build confidence, burn energy, and enjoy focused training without getting hit.

Body shots change the whole feel of a boxing session. The stance drops. The legs work harder. The core has to brace. The punch has to travel from the floor, not just from the shoulder. That makes them a great fit for a non-sparring class built around skill, movement, and conditioning.

When my new client first came to me, he wanted to learn boxing. After discussing his goals and preferences, we decided that the Triple C Fitness course would suit him best. This programme uses martial arts techniques focused primarily on fitness rather than sparring or competition. Many clients like him want the benefits of boxing for fitness without the pressure or risk of sparring.
