whats the best way to do boxing at home, on my own?

To be perfectly honest with you, the best way to do boxing at home, is to not do boxing at home. There's all kinds of reasons for this, but I will give you only a couple. I'm writing to you about this with over 33 years of experience and many failed attempts of "Boxing at home"\n\n   There's the little mistakes that you pick up while you're training at home, dropping your hand as you throw your jab, not shooting your jab straight out, not pivoting on your foot properly when throwing the left hook, stepping straight back with your head up in the air, cat-pawing when you start to get tired. These are the most common of mistakes that everyone starting out training at home does, maybe not all of them but definitely some of them.\n\n  Then there's the fact that you're not around the gym atmosphere\nthe smell of a boxing gym. The subconscious telling you to push yourself harder than the guy hitting the bag next to you. The fact that your being watched by guys/girls who know what they're doing and you want to show that you belong. The fact that the noises that come from a gym give you a rush unlike anything you've ever experienced.\n\n   The money you spend on a "Home Gym" will be a complete waste, how many times have you bought something you had to have and six months later you thought what a waste? Spend your money on a Gym membership or Gym dues, stay away from Health Clubs like Ballys, Golds Gym, World Gym and countless others who know absolutely nothing about boxing except Rocky's coming out on Christmas.\n\n  I understand your position completely, to just stay in shape get yourself a freestanding bag, it's a great way to stay in shape. It's next to impossible to get into the shape you have to be in to actually compete at home, for all the above mentioned reasons and then some.\n\n  Good luck.

- push ups and chin ups:  use your own weight as your weight.\n- get a job doing something that requires lifting, like construction or stockboy\n---oh - you could buy weights!  try a resale place cause this is stuff that people buy and then never use!

I am not an expert, but I have boxed and done some KB. Your best bet is to go to a gym. It's ok to work out by yourself on certain things (e.g. cardio, some weights, heavy bag), but you cannot replace the much needed sparring. Sparring will help you tremendously with reflex and overall KB technique and ability (i.e. defense, kicks, punches). \n\nGood luck.

Start by getting involved in a local gold glove gym or something similar so you can box competitively.  If you get established and keep winning, you will get noticed, and will have a chance to go to olympic trials.

There are a lot of websites that sell boxing dvds if you search for them. EBay is also a great place to find career sets. Just look at the seller's feedback first to make sure their previous customers have liked their dvds.

There is paperwork for boxing, managing, promoting, you name it. Contact your state government's agency for boxing to see what you need.

First off, If you 've never had any amateur fights, don't think about it.  Get some amateur fights under your belt first.  It sounds like to me you'd be better off finding a gym, asking for a trainer to take you under his wing, work out for at least 6 months on just the fudlements (hand-eye coordination, throwing punces the right way), then spar, then get a couple of amateur fights, Once you have 3 fights you can fight open which means you can be in these types of tournaments.\nAlso there are other national and state tournament such as Blue and Gold

Gleasons is the best.  They have experience and history to back them up.  It is right under the Brooklyn Bridge and you can train for the day for only $15 (trainer extra).  They have some great trainers there and it is a true boxing gym complete with rings (2 boxing and 1 wrestling) an assorment of heavy bags, speed bags, DEB's plus weights and other training tools.  The people there are great and eager to help.  If you are looking for a trainer, ask the owners - they are very willing to help you out. I suggest you bring your own equipment (gloves, wraps, locker lock etc) and be ready for a good hard workout.

Go with boxing. on a bike you only work your legs. Boxing you work you legs, arms, abs. its just an all around better workout. I would know, im only 13 and i can bench 200 pounds.

Do a lot of pushups, your hands on the floor, your legs on some top surface (sit, table -- the higher the better and gives more impact).\nAlso, there are a lot of relatively compact gym devices size for home use, and many of them are pretty good, so no compromise in quality and results. \nActually, a lot of guys "do gym" at home, especially during cold seasons.

Try boxing 3 nights a week and working out the other 3 nights. Give yourself one day off a week whenever you need the time. Eat lots of protein. When you go to work out, do lots of bench presses, but only bench with the bar, don't add weights. Do about 5 sets with 10 reps. Drink about a gallon of water a day. And work on your foot work. If you have a jumprope, that will help a lot. On the days that you aren't lifting weights, try running a few miles. Get a pair of boxing gloves and do 2 minute sets of just straight out punching but keep your elbows above your chest and that will strengthen your biceps.
