Fencing teachers in the 18th century. combined elements of fencing technique and tactics with elements of folk fist fighting. The name of fencing and boxing teacher J. Figg is known, who first wrote down the rules of boxing and in 1719 became the champion of England in boxing. In 1743 J. Broughton added existing rules instructions for judges.

The gloves are pulled together from the inside of the palm and tied with soft laces. At competitions, schoolchildren and juniors use 10-ounce gloves, men use 8-ounce gloves (1 ounce = 28.5 g). Boxing rules allow striking only with a clenched fist protected by a boxing glove, the fingers must be bent and pressed against the palm, thumb pressed against the middle phalanx of the index finger. On modern boxing gloves, the area where punches can be struck is indicated in white. Blows can only be delivered to the front of the head or torso above the waist.

Every boxer strives to win on points or win by knockout. A knockout is counted when the athlete is unable to continue the fight after 9 seconds or is outside the ring or on the floor for more than 10 seconds.

Protection can be active or passive. Passive protection is impractical and does not provide the athlete with any benefits. In this case, the defending boxer simply tries to avoid the opponent’s blows and does not resort to attacking actions. With active defense, the athlete strives not only to repel the opponent’s attack, but also tries to strike himself, which is especially common in counterattacks. The counterattack is a complex technique that requires the boxer to have dexterity, technical skill and quick reaction.

When fighting at long range, preference is given to direct strikes. This type of fighting was typical of English boxers, and nowadays there are boxers who prefer long-range tactics.

During a close-range fight, athletes are in close proximity to each other and use a series of side kicks. First of all, short boxers try to achieve success through close combat. But constant combat at close range is impossible.

Strong, resilient boxers with good reactions prefer, as a rule, to fight on middle distance and use a series of blows in it. Education and training. Modern boxing requires perfect technique from athletes. Each boxer undergoes initial training, i.e., masters the basic elements of boxing technique. In the process of progressive learning, the acquired skills and abilities are improved in accordance with individual characteristics. It is especially important that all acquired skills and abilities are brought to perfection, subject to good physical and mental endurance. Due to the fact that a boxer must constantly monitor the opponent’s actions, excessive one-sided concentration of attention can have a negative impact on the technique of his own actions. The most important prerequisite for training boxers is good general physical fitness, therefore, during the initial training of general physical training special attention is paid. Initial training begins with learning the fighting stance and moving around the ring. Next comes a study of straight punches. It is important that the movements of the arms and legs are clearly coordinated. Athletes develop reaction speed. Tactical and technical training is a single process.

The training of highly qualified athletes is carried out by age groups, taking into account sports qualifications. Individual training is provided to especially talented and leading boxers.

The main forms of training are: training exercises with a partner, training battles, exercises in front of a mirror for personal control, boxing with an imaginary opponent, working with training equipment.

Training battles occupy a special place in training. They are as close as possible to the conditions of a boxing match, although they are held with certain restrictions. In accordance with the task set by the coach, techniques, tactics or individual actions are practiced in these battles. During individual training, much attention is paid to working with the paws.

To maintain good sports uniform and for active rest Boxers are trained in gymnastics, athletics, swimming and various team sports. Basketball occupies a special place in such activities.

You can familiarize yourself with the rest of the boxing rules.

Let's learn the rules of boxing in this article! Essentially, what is boxing? This is a martial art in which fighters wear specific gloves and punch each other with their fists: a contact sport. The fight usually lasts from three to twelve rounds. The referee controls him. Victory is awarded only when the opponent is knocked down and is unable to rise within ten seconds (knockout). The winner is also declared if one of the fighters is injured, due to which the fight cannot continue (technical knockout). If after a certain number of rounds the fight is not completed, the winner is determined by the judges by giving their scores.

The very first evidence of such battles is depicted on Egyptian, Sumerian and Minoan reliefs. Even in Ancient Greece, tournaments were held fist fights, identical to boxing. In general, boxing turned into a combat sport in 688 BC. e., when fist fights first appeared in the program of the ancient Olympic Games. IN modern form this sport originated in Great Britain at the beginning of the 18th century.

Some countries have their own (Lethwei in Myanmar, Savat in France, Muay Thai in Thailand), so people often use the term “English boxing”.

Pro Boxing Requirements

Now let's look at boxing. What are they? It should be noted that there are many similarities and differences in the rules of amateur and specialized fights.

What is a rating? Professional boxers, as a rule, do not have competitions. However, at the moment, a large number of European and world championships have appeared. Perhaps these tournaments will become fashionable. The competition uses ranking order. All boxer defeats, victories and draws are recorded in the summary rating list. The types of victories are always taken into account - by points or knockouts. A fighter’s achievements in the amateur ring before receiving “pro” status are not taken into account.

By the way, each of the main organizations (WBO, WBA, IBR, WBC) has its own, slightly different boxing rules and its own rating lists. The fighter who takes first place in the structure ranking is called a candidate for the world title. Of course, the world champion is not allowed to take part in rating competitions, but he can organize friendly meetings, which do not count.

Boxing rules also allow him to meet world leaders in other versions. If a fighter is a world champion in all basic parameters, he is considered an absolute leader (Kostya Ju). If he lost the battle while defending championship belt, a rematch may be scheduled. Interestingly, the head of the WBC, Jose Sulaiman, recently announced the boxing council’s intention to hold the first World Cup using the professional boxing system.

Age restrictions for pros

The rules of boxing for professionals provide for an age limit: a boxer cannot be under 18 years old. And it doesn’t matter what experience a fighter has in amateur boxing: he must organize his first fight in his “pro” career according to the following formula: four rounds of three minutes each. By the way, rating battles usually last six or eight rounds. The fight for the title of world leader lasts twelve rounds of three minutes each.

In general, the teams agree on the formula of the fight, time and date, and other restrictions a couple of months before it takes place. These are the rules of boxing.

The fighter's opponent is also determined in advance. Thanks to this, you can study the skill of your opponents and determine a tactical scheme. In Russia, a boxer can compete for the title of Russian champion only if he has had two fights of six rounds and two fights of eight rounds.

Judging

The rules of boxing in the ring are controlled by judges: three judges and a referee. A supervisor, a timekeeper, a doctor, and an informant referee also participate in the match. For rating competitions, side judges and referees receive an invitation from the promoter. For championship competitions, the panel of judges is appointed by the organization on whose initiative the fight is being held.

Do you know that you must follow the rules of boxing in the ring? The ring has its own owner - the referee, who controls everything that happens in it. The points awarded to each boxer are taken into account by the side judge. He reports to the referee the data after the completion of each round, displayed in the judges' notes.

The number of breaks and rounds and their duration are monitored by the timekeeper. And who prepares and informs all guests about the boxers and the refereeing team? Of course, the judge-informant.

The supervisor works exactly the same as in amateur battles. He also monitors the movement of finances ( prize funds, transport costs and so on).

Interestingly, each boxer can have no more than four seconds. One of them is the main one and during breaks can be inside the ring. No more than two seconds can climb onto the ring platform.

Scoring

The rules of the game of boxing provide for scoring, which is carried out by the side judges. The winner of the round gets ten points, and the loser gets at least six. Interestingly, the electronic scoring system is prohibited.

IN championship fights A draw result is usually excluded. How? It’s just that if the number of points earned by the fighters is the same, victory is awarded to the boxer who wins more rounds. When making a verdict, judges also take into account the strength of the blow (unlike amateurs). Here three light blows correspond to one hard one.

The rules of work in boxing also pay attention to heavy blows and blows leading to knockout. Most often, preference in the round is given to the fighter who knocked down his opponent. And violations here are limited to the same limits as in amateur boxing.

Rules of non-professional boxing

Today AIBA approved new rules: they came into force in 2013. Do they exist here? age restrictions? Yes, the amateur boxing rules offer the following age categories:

• Younger boys are 12 years old.
• Middle-aged boys - 13-14 years old.
• Older girls and boys are 15-16 years old.
• Girls and boys - 17-18 years old.
• Women and men - 19-34 years old.

Depending on age, the rules of amateur boxing provide restrictions on the number of competitions over a certain period:

• Boys under 15 years old: two fights in 30 days.
• Girls and boys 15-16 years old: three fights in 15 days, five fights in 30 days.
• Women and men: four fights in 15 days, five fights in 30 days.

What are the rules of boxing competitions for amateurs? In this sport, beginners are allowed to compete only after three months of preparation.

In general, according to AIBA requirements, children from 17 to 34 years old can take part in international competitions.

Amateur fights

All amateur boxing tournaments are held according to Olympic rules- for elimination. For different groups of fighters the following battle formula applies:

• Boys 12-14 years old: debutants and third category fight three bouts of one minute each, and first and second category - one and a half minutes each.
• Boys 15-16 years old, women and girls: debutants fight three rounds (one minute each), and the first category and above - two minutes each.
• Men and women: beginners - three contractions of one and a half minutes each, and the first category and above - four contractions of two minutes each.

It should be noted that at the Russian absolute championship the tournament formula is five rounds of two minutes each. Very often fights are carried out by agreement. In this variant, the fight formula can be three or four rounds (three minutes each), or five or six rounds (two minutes each).

What if there is a tournament on a scale higher than the regional one? In this case, the participants count the battle according to pure time: various breaks during the competition are not taken into account. By the way, between contractions you are always given one minute to rest.

Well, we have studied a little the basic rules of boxing. We continue our hard work. So, competitions in amateur boxing are divided into team, individual and individual-team.

In private competitions, the fighter who wins the final wins. Here, starting from fourth place and below, places are distributed according to the number of victories. In a team game, the group with the most points wins. The winner in the weight category is given two points. For a loss - one point. If a boxer is absent or does not show up for the tournament, no points will be awarded.

In a personal-team tournament, victory also depends on the number of points scored. Victory - seven points, second place - five points, third place - 3.5 points, until the semi-finals one point is awarded for each victory. In the event of an equal number of points, the winning laurels are awarded to the team that took more first places, and so on.

Very interesting view sport is boxing. The rules of the fight allow young men to box with young men of the same age. Juniors aged eighteen are allowed to take part in adult fights. Here you can hold games with the participation of the same first-class boxers are allowed to fight with masters of sports, including world leaders. In all variants, more than one battle per day is not allowed.

In this sport, fighters who have participated in professional competitions are also not allowed to participate in amateur competitions.

Amateur judging

Any competitions and fights in amateur boxing are supervised by a panel of judges:

• The chief judge oversees the implementation of all the rules of the fight and makes the final decision on all technical issues.
• The side judges evaluate the process of the battle and determine the outcome of the fight.

Generally official tournament served by five side judges. Three judges are allowed, but for this competition they must be no higher than the regional level. The timekeeper observes the time of the fight and hits the gong. The informant judge reports data during the competition. The referee monitors the execution of the rules by the fighters in the ring.

The judges ensure that all rules are followed before the athletes enter the ring. The commandant oversees the technical and economic equipment of the fight. The Russian Boxing Federation elects a technical delegate who is present at those competitions where, based on their results, a fighter can receive the title “Master of Sports of the Russian Federation.”

The fight can be officiated by both women and men. Judges of professional competitions are not allowed to officiate at amateur fights.

During the work, the referee uses the commands “Brack”, “Stop”, “Boxing”. He accompanies warnings with gestures that are understandable to both judges and boxers. By the way, depending on the type of violation, the boxer may receive a remark from this observer. The referee may also disqualify the offender.

Thai boxing

Well, now let's study the rules of Thai boxing. What is this sport? is a martial art of Thailand. It originates from the ancient Thai martial art of Muay Boran. This fight is similar to other Indo-Chinese martial arts. The term “muay” means “free fight”, or “duel of the free”.

In modern Muay Thai, they fight with fists, shins, feet, elbows, and knees: thanks to this nuance, it is called “the fight of eight members.” Muay Thai is not like Wushu or Karate. This fight does not welcome formal complexes (kata, taolu). They are replaced by sparring, work on bags and “paws,” and basic combinations of two or three slaps.

In Thailand, this wrestling gained popularity back in the 16th century. It was recognized throughout the world only in the twentieth century, after the impressive victories of Thai fighters over representatives of other martial arts.

At the moment, Muay Thai is popular in Thailand: locals even celebrate Muay Thai National Boxing Day every year. Outside the country, the popularity of Thai boxing is still increasing. After all, mixed martial arts continues to evolve. Namely, they intensively use Muay Thai for stand-up fighting. This sport is not an Olympic sport, but its fighters hold competitions on a regional, national and international scale.

Muay Thai weight classes

According to the rules of Thai boxing, the weight category has no clear boundaries. Very often a fighter can be in two weight groups. It depends on the fight and its location. In the Russian Federation, 12 categories have been identified from the first, lightest weight (from 45 kg) to the heaviest (91 kg).

The size of the ring for a fight depends on the type of fight. In fact, the rules of this sport stipulate that the area where boxers fight should be 6-7 meters in length and width.

Equipment

What feature does it have? Thai boxing? The fighters' equipment does not depend on weight or competition. They are required to wear 10-ounce gloves. They are slightly smaller than boxing ones, but larger than those worn in fights without rules. Fighters must also have a protective shell and mouthguard. Ladies here are required to wear a protective bra. It protects the breasts from damage.

Prohibited techniques of Muay Thai

Muay Thai is called a striking sport. Biting, grabbing, and pushing are prohibited here. But the range of blows is colossal. Fighters can fight with all parts of the body. Each type of strike belongs to a specific subgroup. So, hand slaps are divided into hooks, jabs, uppercuts, swings, and so on.

Kicks are divided into half-side kicks, side kicks, roundhouse kicks (remember the legendary Chuck Norris), straight kicks, jumping kicks, and so on.

In this fight, some techniques are prohibited. For example, it is not allowed to hit the back of the head or finish off an opponent if he is sprawled in the ring. Also, choking, clasping or arm-breaking on the ground are not allowed. It should be noted that in some cases fighters strike with their heads and make throws. Therefore, Muay Thai is often confused with kickboxing, which is closer to fighting without rules.

Russian rules

And the Federation released the rules for the Boxing competition in 2012. They were approved by the decision of the Presidium of the Boxing Federation and the order of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation.

This regulation has been drawn up taking into account the basic requirements of the Technical Rules and Rules of AIBA (International Boxing Association) tournaments, which entered into force on March 24, 2011. All organizations conducting fights throughout Russia must comply with them. Team managers, boxers, coaches and judges participating in fights must comply with all approved requirements.

Women's boxing

Why are the rules interesting? In fact, the rules of this sport are the same for both men and women. Fights among professional boxers last ten rounds, while amateur boxers fight only six rounds, each of which lasts two minutes (versus three minutes for men)

In addition, all athletes are required to wear special plastic chest protectors. The presence of such equipment determines a certain characteristic feature women's boxing, where most of the punches are aimed at the head, and a smaller part - at the body.

The main goal of the fight is to achieve a clear victory, which is obtained in general by the usual options for boxing. In fact, blows above the belt neutralize the opponent, and she cannot continue the fight.

If one of the warriors is knocked down and rises within a certain time, the battle will continue. The presence of a knockout automatically stops the fight early.

So we figured out the rules of boxing. We hope that some of you will now set a goal to become a successful boxer or will sympathetically watch your favorite fighters at tournaments.

This article will focus on amateur boxing. Amateur boxing took its roots in England, it is logical that the historically first amateur boxing association was founded here, it happened in 1881, later in North America also founded an association and even began holding competitions in 1888; France followed the example of the above and also created its own boxing association.

Amateur boxing is less brutal than professional boxing, but this makes it in no way inferior in intensity to professional boxing. The scoring system has approximately the following formula: Boxers at the beginning of the fight have zero points, but by striking they gain them; in order for a point to be protected, the boxer needs three out of 5 judges to record this on special electronic mechanisms.

The most authoritative championships in this sport: the Olympic Games, where amateur boxing has been represented since 1904, the World and European Championships, regularly held every 4 years since 1974 and 1925, respectively.

In 1946, a historic event took place for the world of boxing when a new association (AIBA) was created to replace the previously existing FIBA. Since 1969, the first continental boxing association, the European EABA, was formed; it should be noted that now each continent is represented by its own boxing association.

All associations are under the main association, which unites associations from 122 countries around the world, receiving significant sponsorship support from them. The Association is divided into a number of committees, from judicial and methodological to medical and anti-doping. Locally elected representatives of the countries that are part of the association become AIBA members, who then choose the leadership, who in turn elect the president. The first president was the representative of France E. Gremaud, his successor was the Briton Russell. Once our representative was also president. In 1974 Nikiforov-Denisov became president of AIBA.

In general, the importance of the association is simply undeniable, because it is it that performs the most important functions related to the development of this sport, in particular, it appoints venues for championships, works with judges, and considers proposals from countries that are members of the association. Perhaps it is precisely because of the well-coordinated work of AIBA that the number of amateur boxers has increased over the years, we can verify this from a small statistical observation: from the time of the 7 Olympic Games in Antwerp to the 20 Olympic Games in Munich, the number of participants increased from 114 boxers from 11 countries, up to 356 boxers from 51 countries.

Weight categories in Olympic boxing

In amateur boxing, there is a system according to which boxers are divided into 11 weight categories (the names of the categories are arbitrary; in official documents only their designation in kilograms is used):

• super heavy weight(over 91 kg);
• first heavy weight (91 kg);
• light heavyweight (81 kg);
• second average weight (75 kg);
• first average weight (69 kg);
• welterweight (64 kg);
• a light weight(60 kg);
• featherweight (57 kg);
• bantamweight (54 kg);
• flyweight (51 kg);
• minimum weight (48 kg).

Types of punches in boxing

In boxing, the following main types of strikes are distinguished:

• direct punches (jab, cross);
• side punches (hook, swing);
• blows from below (uppercut).

Professional boxing

Professional boxing has stricter rules than amateur boxing. The rules determine the order and conditions of the battles professional boxers and are mandatory for boxers, judges, managers, promoters licensed by the Federation professional boxing, as well as other persons involved in organizing and conducting battles. Control over the conduct of fights in accordance with the rules is carried out by a supervisor, an invited promoter from among the persons approved by the Bureau.

The fight lasts 7-15 rounds, depending on the class of boxers and the scale of the competition (at the world or continental championship - 15 rounds). The allowed weight of gloves is not 8 ounces, as for amateurs, but 6 ounces. A boxer can be knocked down many times, and the fight continues if the boxer stands up before the count of ten. Violations of the rules from the point of view of amateur boxing are also allowed (for example, strikes beyond the side line of the body or with an open glove, etc.

Scoring in professional boxing is carried out according to a countdown scheme followed by addition.

Boxers entering the ring have 10 points each. The winner of the round retains 10 points, the loser receives 9 points, thus forming a score for one round of 10-9. If one of the boxers is knocked down, then two points are deducted from him, and the round ends (with one knockdown) with a score of 10-8. If the boxer was knocked down twice, then the score becomes 10-7, if three times, then 10-6. If there was a draw in the round (some boxing organizations consider a draw to be incompetent refereeing, but it still happens), then the side referee gives the score 10-10. In rare cases, it happens that a boxer who has been knocked down wins the round. In this case, the score should be 10-9 in favor of the one who knocked down the opponent, since according to the rules, the number 10 must always be present.

In 1982, WBA world lightweight champion Ray Mancini knocked out South Korean Duke Koo Kim in the 14th round. In the battle, Kim received fatal injuries. After 4 days, the Korean died. After this result, boxing organizations reduced the number of rounds in fights from 15 to 12.
