Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet. With a small jump forwards, bring your legs approximately shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly inwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now straighten your legs, push your hips forwards and raise your upper body to a standing position. The arms remain stretched and point sideways along the body towards the floor in the end position so that the weights are approximately at hip height. Then lower your upper body back down to place the weights on the floor again with your arms straight (with the tips of your feet slightly offset outwards). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells) to perform a two-legged jump backwards so that you reach the push-up position. Lower your upper body back to the starting position in the prone position (bend your arms, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering your body to the prone position; more weight.

Stomach position, grasp a dumbbell with both hands (back of each hand pointing to the respective side), these are placed on the floor at chest height, the arms are bent accordingly. From this position, stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, your knees are also no longer in contact with the floor and your slightly bent legs are only supported on the tips of your feet (push-up position). With a small jump forwards, bring your legs more than shoulder-width apart towards the dumbbells (place your feet slightly outwards behind the dumbbells on each side). The upper body is tilted forwards as the outstretched arms are still holding the weights on the floor (back as straight as possible). Now lift the weights off the floor and move them backwards between your legs to the height of your buttocks with your arms stretched out. Now swing the weights overhead by first holding the dumbbells in front of your chest with your arms bent, and from there push your arms out vertically upwards. The upright stance with arms stretched upwards and legs slightly bent corresponds to the end position. Then bend your arms while standing upright to bring the weights to your shoulders. Tilt your upper body forwards, stretch your arms and place the dumbbells on the floor between your legs (slightly in front of your feet) (legs slightly bent). Support your upper body with your arms (hands gripping the dumbbells), jump backwards with both legs so that you can assume the starting position in the prone position in one smooth movement (bend your arms, lower your upper body, hold the weights next to your chest, knees on the floor, straight legs resting on the tips of your feet).

Lighten:
Less/no weight.

Harden:
Execute a push-up instead of lowering the body to the prone position; more weight.

2 dumbbells

This exercise combines a one-armed burpee with a dumbbell and an overhead press. To do this, place a dumbbell between your feet, squat down and grasp the dumbbell with one hand. Jump or step backwards into a push-up position (optional: your chest briefly touches the floor). Bring your feet back to the front, explosively drive the dumbbell upwards from the hips, fully extend your arm overhead (snatch/press movement), and lower the weight in a controlled manner. Either switch sides after the desired number of repetitions or transfer the weight to the other hand as you lower it.

Attention:
Keep your back neutral during the lift; maintain core tension; generate power from your hips and legs (do not just push with your arms); keep the barbell close to your body; stabilise the overhead position (arm extended, shoulder engaged, do not push your ribs forward); lower the barbell calmly and in a controlled manner.
Common mistakes: Hunching the back when lifting the barbell; pulling with the arms too early instead of extending the hips; unstable shoulders overhead; landing with feet too close together or asymmetrically; loss of core tension during the burpee; weight too heavy (technique breaks down); rotation in the upper body due to uneven load.

Lighten:
Do the exercise without the push-up; step your feet back into the push-up position instead of jumping; use a lighter dumbbell; split the movement (do the burpee first, then the dumbbell snatch separately); instead of lifting the weight overhead, lift it only to shoulder height.

Harden:
Heavier dumbbell; incorporate push-ups; switch hands with every repetition; double devil press with two dumbbells, deficit version (dumbbell on a raised platform); combine with an additional squat or thruster.

1 dumbbell

Lie on your stomach in front of a wall with the tips of your feet exactly in the corner between the floor and the wall and your arms bent next to your shoulders (palms on the floor, elbows pointing towards the wall). Extend your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, then walk your feet upwards along the wall (alternately moving one leg upwards), at the same time as moving your legs upwards, alternately move your arms towards the wall (walking with your arms). The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched out in a high position). Then perform the movement sequence in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Break off the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards).

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

Lie on your stomach in front of a wall with the tips of your feet exactly in the corner between the floor and the wall and your arms bent next to your shoulders (palms on the floor, elbows pointing towards the wall). Stretch your arms to push your upper body away from the floor, then walk your feet upwards along the wall (alternately moving one leg upwards), at the same time as lifting your legs, alternately move your arms towards the wall (walking with your arms). The legs and arms are moved until the handstand position can be assumed (full body stretch, arms stretched in a high position). Once in the handstand position, the hands are moved to the side a few times (running sideways with the hands) before the sequence of movements is repeated in reverse order to return from the handstand to the prone position. For the next repetition, move your arms to the other side to return to the starting point of the exercise.

Attention:
Move your legs and arms in a controlled manner.

Lighten:
Stop the exercise before the handstand position and return to the prone position (move your legs less far upwards); perform the exercise without moving your arms.

Harden:
Additional weight (on your feet).

In a prone position approx. 1 metre in front of a wall, hold a ball in front of your head with your arms bent. Raise your upper body slightly and throw the ball against the wall with both arms (movement from the elbows, stretching the arms) and catch it again. The ball never touches the floor.

Attention:
Keep your upper body (incl. arms/elbows) raised at all times.

Lighten:
Choose a lighter ball; just hold the position with your upper body slightly raised (without throwing the ball); hold your arms without the ball in front of you and bring them back sideways next to your body and back to the starting position.

Harden:
Choose a heavier ball.

Variant:
Hold a gymnastic stick in your hands with your upper body slightly raised (arms stretched), bring it to your chest (arms bent) and return to the starting position.

The movement is practised as follows:
The foot at the back in the direction of movement pushes off the floor and the foot at the front is placed 10-15cm in front. The rear foot is then pulled back so that the original starting position is restored. The movement is dynamic, gliding light-footedly over the floor. The movement can also be performed with small flat jumps. It is important to ensure that the movement is always practised in combination with the boxing position.

No material required

One participant circles the tyre with small readjusting steps, while the second participant tries to stay opposite. The participants take small flat (sideways) steps on the balls of their feet. The distance between the feet is not less than shoulder width. The foot closer to the direction of movement goes first, the second foot is only pulled up to shoulder width. Change roles after a while.

Per group:
1 tyre

The participants glide sideways from tyre to tyre in a boxing position. One participant leads and the other reacts accordingly and follows their partner.

8-12 tyres

Moving from marker to marker (6 cones) in double cover, taking care not to cross your feet and keeping your legs shoulder-width apart. At the end of the course there is a short fight with the partner (first hit wins). The loser performs two quick squats. Both participants then start the movement exercise from the front (the two lanes are next to each other or opposite each other).

12 marking hats (6 per participant)

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

One way of blocking from the basic position is simply to turn out the respective hand and bring it forwards (crosswise) in order to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

This sequence of movements combines blocking and dodging with a counter (lead hand and punching hand). One participant slowly strikes 4x in the direction of their partner's forehead (2x left/right). The defender blocks the punches twice (left/right) and then dodges twice and simultaneously performs a counter-punch (left/right).

Blocking:
When blocking, the respective hand is turned out from the basic position and brought forward (crosswise) to ward off/block the attacker's punch with the palm of the hand (fist against palm).

Leading hand:
When countering with the leading hand (example left side), the front foot remains stable in place, the weight is shifted to the rear (right) foot (tilt the upper body backwards slightly). To avoid the opponent's punch, the body weight is not only shifted backwards, but the upper body is also tilted to the side (outwards - to the right). Finally, you follow up with your own punch (jab) with the (left) lead hand (on the "inside" side).

Punching hand:
When countering with the punching hand (example right side), you take a step to the (left) side (sidestep), shifting your weight to the front (left) foot. Finally, the own punch (straight) follows with the stronger hand (on the "inner" side).

Exercise:
In groups of 2, the blocking and dodging including the counter punch is practised. This involves blocking and dodging twice on one side and then on the other (lead hand and punching hand). The sequence of movements is practised very slowly at first; the speed can only be increased once the sequence of movements has been completely mastered. The roll can be changed after each pass or after several passes. In order to gain more confidence in the sequence of movements, it is advisable to do several passes in succession. It also makes sense to change partners from time to time (variety and different levels of participants). The instructor can make the exercise more difficult by no longer clearly defining the attacking side (e.g. 2 attacks each to block and evade - side arbitrarily determined by the attacker - change roles - change partners).

Participant A: 2x punch left + right (jab + straight) / Participant B: Block left + right plus dodge with counter (lead hand and punching hand)

Variant:
All participants perform the sequence of movements (= participant B; see above) together (same front - rotate the alignment by 90 degrees after each pass). The instructor counts slowly from 1-4 for the individual steps (block left - block right - dodge incl. counter with the lead hand - dodge incl. counter with the punching hand). The instructor takes the opportunity to make corrections.

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

Position:
Elbows close to the upper body, arms remain where they are in the boxing position, slight shoulder rotation against the punch (3cm).

• Participant A: punch with lead hand
• Participant B: block with punching hand

• Participant A: punch with lead hand, block with punching hand
• Participant B: Block with punching hand, counter with jabbing hand

Variation:
Apply what you have learnt in a short 1:1 match (slowly + carefully; don't hit too hard at the beginning).

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

The participants sit back to back with their legs slightly bent in the centre of a mat/lawn area. The participants' arms are interlocked. The aim is to press the opponent's right or left shoulder to the ground. The side is changed with each pass.
