Unique advantages of collar boxing
Many women will mind getting rough when practicing muscles. But unlike that kind of equipment training, boxing will train muscles one by one, but will lengthen muscle lines and make the whole person look more slender. Moreover, boxing can exercise all parts of the body, physical strength and endurance, including reaction, coordination and psychological quality. It can be said that it is a very comprehensive sport.
At the same time, it can improve people's emotional management ability. After being hit by an opponent, the instinctive emotion is fear or anger, but these two emotions are not good, which will reduce people's judgment. After a trained person is shot, he will be calm and wait for an opportunity to fight back.
