Badass Boxing Workouts: A Hard-Hitting Program to Smash Stress, Have Fun and Get in the Best Shape of Your Life

What a beautiful book! This is perfect for beginners - going into this journey, I knew nothing about boxing, but "Badass Boxing" has made me feel like I could at least follow a match, and can definitely use these in my routines. I think my favorite thing is just how easy it is to follow along. Each move or term is accompanied by a photo showing you what it should look like, and an incredibly detailed description. While at times I did have some trouble following, overall I found this guide to be easy to follow and so informative. I also very much appreciated the explanations for how to fix common mistakes. Overall, an excellent guide that teaches you the basics and how to build a long term exercise regime around them.

If you want to pick up exercise routine like boxing or be able to follow a boxing match, this book is for you. The pictures and graphics are beautifully done. They are clear, detailed and colorful. Included are terminology, footwork defense, boxing mechanics boxing rounds, boxing circuit, combinations and training regimens. There are step-by-step instructions and photos for each move. Using this book would give a total body workout and put your body in great shape. My favorite part of this book is the Sample workouts. There are 3 sample workouts for each level. Beginner, intermediate and experienced.

The book is thin... Not enough Instruction to really learn boxing. The Gleason boxing workout has more information on learning and creating a workout. The pictures are nice colored photos like a coffee table type of book. I think it is more for workouts to just to get in shape not really to learn the art. Best books to actually learn are boxing by navy. Boxing by Edwin Haislett, inside boxing by Floyd patterson, box like the pros by Joe frazier, better boxing by la fond. update 06/24/2022 - I looked over the book again and found some gems in terms of combinations / mitt work that actually are very nice to have. I have started to incorporate them into my workout on the heavy bag. the circuit of exercises are good to have. I found the "landmine" exercises not as useful. there are sample workouts which I looked over again and will incorporate into my workout so I might have been a bit harsh in my first review. I still think the book "boxing" by edwin haislett to be the best but it does not go into combinations, the more detailed book "boxing" by Naval Aviation group is the next best to get a full grounding in boxing. It is almost a textbook on the subject with lesson plans and drills.

This is an incredible primer for someone looking to start boxing for fun and fitness. I do think I get more out of it because I’ve taken a couple kickboxing classes, but I think a beginner would like it too! I am impressed by the detail of each workout, including photos and specific instructions to follow. I also love that it’s friendly to all genders and features a variety of model’s body types. It helps me feel included instead of shut out.

Probably the best boxing training book I have bought, lots of pictures and description of moves, punches etc, the workouts are also very good!
