The first thing you should know is your boxing stance which depends on what your dominant hand is; left or right. You can quickly determine your dominant hand as it's more than likely the hand you use to write. If you are left-handed, you should stand with your right foot forward and left foot back (also known as the South Paw Stance). On the other hand, if you are right-handed, you should stand with your left foot forward and right foot back (also known as the Orthodox Stance).

I am right-handed, so in this video, I'll show you the orthodox stance. When standing, your front foot should be pointing at one o'clock while your back foot is pointing at around two o'clock. The next step is to visualize a line in between the two feet, one foot on either side of the line. You never want to have two feet on the same line. To make this easy, you can draw a straight line between your feet or use tape to mark it down.

Another essential tip is to loosen your knees as though you are on a skateboard/ surfboard. You should also have your elbows tucked in, hands up, by the left and right feet respectively. Once you have this boxing stance down, the next step is to work on the basics of movement;

When you move forward, you need to step forward with your front foot first regardless of whether you are in orthodox or southpaw stance. On the other hand, whenever you need to move backwards, you should move with your back foot first. The same principle applies when moving left or right, by moving either left foot first or right foot first. This is the basic movement in boxing.

After working on the basic movement, we'll need to work on the basic punches. The first punch you'll need to learn is your lead hand/ front hand. I am right-handed, so I'll use my left hand, this punch is called the Jab/ number one. The next punch is number two, in my case, the right hand ( this will be opposite if you are southpaw); remember to exhale as you throw this punch. Note that this part will feel awkward at first but should get better with enough practice.

The next step will be adding the combo, which is basically the combination of the (one, two, hook, two punches). I Illustrate how to do this on the video. The combo method is essential as it ensures that as the first punch is coming back, you are already throwing the next punch, no pause in between, giving you an added advantage in boxing sport.
