With the pressures of modern life, many people choose boxing to practice both to improve physical strength and relieve stress. Here are some benefits that boxing brings to practitioners:
Relieve pressure, control emotions
Boxing training is an effective way to relieve psychological inhibition. When you do powerful punches, the body will stimulate the brain to secrete endorphins and dopamine - active ingredients that bring excitement and happiness.
This process helps reduce cortisol (stress hormone) levels, thereby relieving pressure, anxiety and bringing a state of relaxation after each exercise session.
Practice high concentration
Boxing practice requires high concentration when coordinating well between the hands, eyes and feet. Practitioners must pay full attention to each movement and immediate goals.
This high concentration forces the practitioner to put aside worries about work or personal life, bringing the body and mind into a "flow state".
This is also one of the methods to help exercise effectively, improve observation skills, practice concentration and quick reflexes in all situations.
Building your own value
practicing boxing also helps change your body, increase your confidence in your personal abilities as well as build your own value. Regular boxing practice will help master the strength and self-defense ability.
When overcoming physical limits, practitioners will create a strong mindset to be ready to face the difficulties in life.
Improve courage and resilience
When the body reaches the threshold of fatigue, continuing to practice boxing will increase courage, not giving up under pressure. The fighting spirit and resilience trained in boxing will bring strong psychological recovery after pressure and stress.
