Stand shoulder-width apart, one leg (left) slightly backwards, gaze/face and upper body facing forwards, arms hanging beside the body. Raise one leg (left) and kick it out in the direction of your gaze (kick movement forwards), bend your arms at the same time and move your hands to head height. Lower your upper body as you bring your free leg back, bend your supporting leg and bring your free leg backwards, both hands touching the floor (lunge position - similar to starting a sprint). Alternate between the two positions (kick forwards and lunge backwards) with a high cadence.

Attention:
Do not fall backwards with your upper body when kicking your leg away. Keep your posture upright when lunging.

Lighten:
Push your leg out less high or far back.

Harden:
Push your leg out higher; add weight to your leg.

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

A slalom is run between stakes in double coverage (do not cross your feet but keep them shoulder-width apart).

Variant:
Competition form against another participant (optioanl: the slower one does 5 push-ups/torso bends/extension jumps).

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.

Two participants hold hands crosswise with their thumbs in the air. On command, both try to catch the opponent's thumb with their own thumb and press it down. The winner is the one who can hold their opponent's thumb for two seconds. Switch sides after each round.

No material required

From the shoulder-width boxing position, a tennis ball is bounced with one hand while the other hand is always held at the temple. The participant moves freely on their feet as if on a track (forwards, backwards, sideways - also in a circle, bouncing the tennis ball at the same point).

Variant:
A fight between everyone (or duel): the participant whose tennis ball touches the floor or is held twice in succession completes an additional task (press-ups, stretch jumps, squats). The opponent's tennis ball may be touched, but there is no physical contact.

1 Tennisball

Exercise 1:
Static form: From the shoulder-width boxing position, bounce a tennis ball (in a hoop) with one hand, keeping the other hand on your temple at all times. Change which hand is bouncing the tennis ball from time to time.

Exercise 2:
Dynamic form: Move the tennis ball between the rings (bouncing on the feet) without touching them.

Exercise 3:
On a command from the instructor ("top"), swap the tennis ball with a partner.

Exercise 4:
At the instructor's command ("top"), try to steal another participant's tennis ball without losing your own ball.

Exercise 5:
All against all (elimination match): whoever loses their ball is eliminated (possibly perform additional tasks).

Per participant:
1 tennis ball
