【拳擊手第一次對打的確認清單】

A quick little guide to help prepare beginning boxers or backyard boxers as they step into the ring for their very first time.
一個快速的小指南用以幫助初學或是自學的拳手準備第一次踏入擂台。

1. FEEL OUT YOUR OPPONENT
1. 觀察你的對手

The rowdy and aggressive boxers will look to strike first. The smart and sneaky ones will look to counter. If he wants to punch first, duck or backstep and hit him right back. If he’s looking to counter, fake a punch, slip and then smack him. If he’s playing the passive role (common for big guys that think they’re stronger or faster than you), hit him hard against the gloves to hit him with his own gloves, and while he’s pre-occupied aim for the body.
粗暴和侵略型的拳擊手會期望先下手為強。聰明又狡猾的則是等待著反擊。如果他想要先攻，試著迴避或後移然後馬上打回去。如果他看起來想要反擊，則出假動作，溜掉再打他。而如果他扮演著被動的角色（通常大傢伙會想說他反正比你強壯或是敏捷），那麼就用力往他的拳套揍讓他被自己的拳套打到，並趁他失神時瞄準他的身體。

2. JAB HIGH, HIT THE BODY
2. 刺拳打上面，再打身體

This one is self-explanatory – jab at the head and then go to the body. Most beginner boxers that are all pumped up don’t think about the body attack especially from the beginning. Step straight in with an authoritative jab, quickly change your head level and duck down to hit your opponent with a hard right hand to the stomach. Hitting just above the stomach (solar plexus) hurts the most. A great alternative is to duck low, bend to your side, jab his body and as he lowers his guard to block, quickly come up and throw a right hand to his head!
這是不言而喻的 ── 刺拳打頭然後再打身體。大部分初學的拳擊手打死都想不到在一開始就會碰到身體攻擊。直線往前踏並帶一個震撼的刺拳，然後快速地放低頭部一邊閃躲一邊同時用右拳重擊造成你對手最深傷害的胃部（太陽神經叢）。這裡有個很棒的選擇，壓低身子然後側轉，運用刺拳攻他身體讓他放低防禦去格擋，你再馬上起來用右拳打他的頭！

3. FEET ON THE GROUND
3. 腳踏實地

Too many beginners get over-excited and throw 10-punch combos while lifting their feet all over the place. Not having your feet planted means your punch will be much less powerful (because you’re not grounded), and you will also be more off-balanced meaning you can get knocked around easily or left vulnerable against your opponent’s punches. Keep your feet planted and you’ll hit harder.
太多的初學者過於興奮，打出了十拳連擊同時完全抬起自己的腳。雙腳沒有扎根的結果就是威力大打折扣（因為你沒有接觸地面），你也很容易會失去平衡，這意味著你相當容易遭受對手的打擊，也容易被擊倒。記得把你的雙腳保持穩紮，這樣攻擊會更強悍。

4. RELAX
4. 放鬆

Don’t get intimidated or caught up in the moment. Let your opponent do all the work. If the other guy wants to waste his energy, keep your calm and let him tire himself out. Most other beginners won’t last 2 minutes in the ring bouncing around like a rabbit and throwing endless punches. Be patient and take advantage when he tires out!
這一刻可別被嚇壞了。放手讓你的對手去進行一切動作吧。如果對手浪費他的精力，那就保持冷靜讓他自己累垮。大多數的初學者在擂台上像兔子般蹦跳並不斷出拳是無法維持超過兩分鐘的。要有點耐性，再利用他累垮的時機！

5. BREATHE
5. 呼吸

Don’t ever forget to breathe. Always breathe even when you’re on offense or defense. A good drill every beginner should practice is moving around the ring breathing in a steady rhythm while getting punched by a much smaller opponent. It’s an excellent drill for all beginners to stay calm and conserve energy in the ring. Most beginning boxers tire out too quickly because they stop breathing and start holding their breath especially when they’re punching or defending.
別忘了呼吸。當你在進攻或防守時都要保持換氣。初學者有種很好的呼吸練習，在擂台上一面承受體格較小的對手打擊，一面保持著穩定的呼吸節奏四處移動。這對所有的初學者來說是訓練在台上保持冷靜且節約精力的絕妙練習。很多拳擊的初學者太快累垮是因為他們停止順暢地換氣，且在攻防時憋氣。

6. LOOK AT YOUR OPPONENT
6. 看你的對手

I can’t even count the number of times I’ve seen beginning boxers make the mistake of looking away from an opponent during a boxing sparring session. It’s boxing; not 5-year-old peek-a-boo. Looking away while your opponent is punching you will not make the punches disappear. While on defense, you must keep your opponent in full view of you at all times so that you can block most of his punches if not all. The same goes for offense; you must be looking at your opponent when you punch so that you know your punch will land accurately. Don’t just close your eyes and swing blindly hoping you’ll hit something. Don’t look at the ground or ceiling either. Just look directly at your opponent when you punch him, this makes the punches harder and more accurate.
在對打練習裡我看過不知道有多少次，拳擊初學者犯了不去看對手反而看別處的錯誤。這是拳擊耶；不是五歲小孩躲貓貓。不去看對手的拳並不會讓他的打擊消失。在防守時，你必須將對手完全保持在視線內，如此一來在任何時候即使你無法擋掉他所有的拳，也能夠擋掉大部分的。同樣的道理在進攻；當你打擊時必須看著對手來確知能否準確地擊中。不要閉上眼睛盲目揮擊，然後冀望能打到甚麼。別看著地板還是天花板。只要你揮拳時能要直視對手，就會讓你的拳更強、更準確。

7. USE THE JAB
7. 用刺拳

Always use your jab! When in doubt, throw it anyway. A jab can be used to hurt your opponent, set up bigger punches, keep him at bay, intercept a hard right hand or right hook, keep his mind occupied, or create space while you spin out of the corner. Throw this punch many times in practice and throw it many times in the ring! Not all jabs are the same. Practice hard jabs, or soft jabs, or extend your arm halfway out and throw a quick jab from there. Double up and triple up your jabs and mix it in with clever head movement. All great boxers have great jabs, never forget this!
自始至終都要用你的刺拳！當你有所疑惑，打刺拳就對了。刺拳可以用來傷害對手，還可以為強擊做預備，讓對手保持遠離，或是製造自己的領域範圍，同時也幫助你能從角落鑽出來。請在實際的狀況下多出這種拳，並且真的在擂台上多出幾次這種拳！不是所有的刺拳都一樣。必須刻苦訓練重刺拳，或輕刺拳，或是把手臂伸長一半並從那個距離快速打出刺拳。雙重或三重以上的刺拳混合著靈巧的頭部晃動。永遠別忘了，所有強大的拳擊手都擁有強大的刺拳！

8. LIMIT YOUR PUNCHES
8. 限制你的拳數

Don’t throw 10 punch combos. Be cautious and strong. Throw 3-5 punch combinations at the max. Make sure you have solid footing. Not every punch has to be a knockout punch.
不要一次打出十拳的連擊。要謹慎並且堅強。三至五拳的組合已經極限了。你得確定你有站穩腳步。而且，不是每一拳都是要用來擊倒對方的。

9. DON’T WAIT
9. 別等了

Don’t wait for your opponent to finish punching you before you fire back. If he starts to tee off on you, unload your hands quickly and break up his combo right away and move out. Don’t just sit there in a defensive position. If your opponent has already hit you with 2 punches and plans on throwing more, start throwing back right away. Throw quick punches to break up his focus and move away or fire back. Don’t wait!
不要等到你對手的打擊結束了才去還擊。如果他開始往你身上發威，馬上運用你的雙拳去破解他的連擊並且迅速離開。不要只坐在那裏固守陣地。如果你的對手已經準備好打你一兩下，並且準備施壓更多的攻擊，那麼你就該即刻回擊。用快拳打散他的注意力，然後跑走或是還擊吧。別再等了！
