Aspria, experts in Brussels fitness, explain how this sport allows you to combine cardio and all-round muscle strengthening with a focus on core muscles and developing speed, agility, co-ordination and flexibility. It banishes stress, tension, frustration and anger. And that’s not all, because this sport is also very good for your self-confidence. And you can box at home during the pandemic by buying the equipment. See the end of the article for a link.
Ryad Merhy, who held the light heavyweight WBA world champion and is a member of Aspria, told us how all-encompassing this discipline is: “I started boxing when I was 14 years old. I needed to get out of my comfort zone. Besides the physical aspects of boxing, it’s a discipline which allows you to let off steam within a spirit of respect for yourself and for others, and to work on your reflexes and your mental agility. Boxing is the school of life and of humility.”
