Why is boxing noble art?

As most of the good things do, boxing appeared in my life incidentally and has remained there for more than 7 years. Namely, after I had climbed Mount Olympus – the home of gods, in 2015, the challenges of lower peaks disappeared, while the Himalayas were planned for some time later. Looking for new challenges, I incidentally caught a glimpse of boxing gloves in my gym. Only 48 hours after that moment I had my own gloves, hand wraps, focus pads and all other accessories.

In the beginning, except for an oddly high degree of relaxing feeling, you are not aware why you are so happy after the training. Shortly after, I realised that it was primarily due to the focusing onto the white ring of the focus pad and dodging punches, because all other thoughts and problems you come to a training with disappear. A struggle for survival appears. Winning brings happiness and hope that, like in the ring, victories in life are possible through devotion, hard work, and sacrifice.

How come boxing is a noble art? This was the question I asked myself before I put the boxing gloves on. The nobility lies in the fact that boxing is a fair sport before all, because there are no punches behind your back. When you are in a ring, you cannot hide. You have an opportunity to find out how brave you are and how well you face fear, how to overcome fear, how to outwit your opponent, as well as how to avoid a punch, and eventually how not to give up. Nevertheless, as it goes in life, some blows cannot be avoided, those in the ring or those metaphorical, in the form of problems you least expect. Sometimes, you can even get knocked down. There you have a choice to face that difficulty bravely, or be knocked out, remain lying on the floor completely mentally and physically broken.

If you are not brave, fast, agile, and if you fail to anticipate your opponent’s move and make a right decision, you will lose the ‘fight’. In this way, you develop mental firmness, the ability to receive punches and not to give up on the one hand, and on the other – you develop speed, power, and reflexes, which altogether also helps you in overcoming a number of challenges in real life.

For me, to play a fair game in life as well as in business is what makes the difference between people and this is why boxing has been a part of my life for years.

Boxing is best described in the words of Theodore Roosevelt: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

What happened to me in the meantime was the need to change my diet, because I found it hard to practice intensively with a weight in my stomach, so I almost completely stopped eating meat. This was, in my opinion, the second best decision in my life.

In the end, I must add that boxing training is not an easy one. It is both mentally and physically hard and demanding sport, but the benefits for the mind and body are immeasurable and so, if you still haven’t decided what sport you could practice for recreation, I would recommend boxing, because it activates all the muscles in your body, burns calories fast, increases the endurance of your heart and lungs, relaxes you and reduces the accumulated stress, strengthens self-confidence and increases your energy levels. What you need for boxing are strong will, boxing gloves, and a trainer.

It's time to punch your way to something good.
