The stances of boxers in which they fight differ in many ways. Everyone has their own special position that is convenient for them for fighting. Many outstanding boxers can be recognized by their characteristic stance, without even necessarily seeing his face. Despite the visible differences, all boxing stances can be classified according to similar characteristics.
Boxer stance– optimal arrangement of body parts for solving various motor tasks. There are three main fighting stances for a boxer.
Left-handed typical for most right-handed athletes: the boxer is turned to the opponent with his left side, left hand ahead.
Right-handed– typical for most left-handed boxers who stand with their right side to the opponent.
Frontal– feet shoulder-width apart, body weight on both feet. During training, it is often used as a training stance. In combat it is most often used at close range (Fig. 3.2).

Depending on which part of the support bears the main weight of the boxer’s body, methods for performing fighting stances are distinguished. The athlete's body weight may be to the center of support(Fig. 3.3-3.6), to the front support, that is, on the front leg (Fig. 3.7-3.10), on back supports, that is, on back leg(Fig. 3.11-3.14).
Depending on the muscle grouping of the body, the methods of performing combat stances have the following options: open low(Fig. 3.6, 3.10 and 3.14), open high(Fig. 3.4, 3.8 and 3.12), closed low(Fig. 3.5, 3.9 and 3.13), closed high(Fig. 3.3, 3.7 and 3.11).

Each of the stances listed above has its own characteristics, creating certain advantages and, conversely, disadvantages for boxers.
So, when an athlete is in a stance in which the weight of his body falls on the center of the support, it will be convenient for him to transfer weight to the front or back leg, without difficulty strike with a step forward and with a step back, and perform any defensive and deceptive actions with the body.
A boxing stance with your body weight on the front leg allows you to very effectively use a lean back (“pull”), quickly break the distance, and deliver very powerful and unexpected blows with your front hand. The disadvantages of this stance are the difficulty in moving forward and quickly delivering an accented blow with the rear hand.
The boxer's position with his body weight on the back leg makes it possible to instantly strike swipe with the back hand, and also quickly approach the enemy with a step forward. The disadvantage of this stance is the difficulty in quickly breaking the distance by stepping back and the limited possibilities of using defense by leaning back.
Boxers fighting in closed stances widely use hand defenses. Considering that the arms are raised high, it is easier for athletes to reach the opponent’s head.
James Jeffries was one of the first to use a closed rack (Fig. 3.15). Before him, boxers worked with their arms half-lowered and mainly at long and medium distances. Jeffries used the “crouch” - a low, closed stance, while being primarily at medium and close distances. The fighting style he developed allowed him to become world champion in 1899 and unconditionally hold this title until 1905, when he voluntarily retired from boxing undefeated. The style of James Jeffries was the basis for the formation of the American school of professional boxing.

Conducting a fight in an open stance allows you to provoke the enemy more and work more successfully in a counterattack. Boxers who prefer this stance actively use defenses with their torso, while their arms remain free to strike. Only experienced boxers with a good sense of distance and impact can afford to work in an open stance.
Mohammed Ali often used an open stance. The great champion took defense with the torso to a whole new level. Possessing an amazing sense of distance, Ali allowed himself to work with his hands half-lowered even at medium and close distances, being pressed against the ropes (Fig. 3.16).

A low stance gives the boxer stability, which allows him to strike and effectively use defenses using the torso. Its disadvantage is the difficulty of movement.
The low stand was used very effectively by one of greatest boxers modern Rocky Marciano. Absolute champion World champion 1952–1956 was only 178 centimeters tall and weighed 83–84 kilograms, so he almost always had to fight taller opponents. Marciano decided to compensate for his lack of height in a completely illogical way: he did not try to stand higher on his short and thick legs, but, on the contrary, used a very low stance. And as a result, he turned into a very inconvenient opponent. He instantly moved closer to his tall rivals, leaning forward significantly. Once at medium and close distances, Rocky, masterfully using body protection, became invulnerable. He treated his opponent’s body with a protracted series of monstrous blows, and then attacked the head (Fig. 3.17). Rocky Marciano ended his boxing career with 49 fights and not suffering a single defeat.

A high stance allows a boxer to maneuver well in the ring and perform quick strikes. Athletes who use it are usually tall. They have the ability to apply series fast strikes with steps forward, backward and sideways. 1978 world champion Leon Spinks boxed in a high stance.

Today I devoted most of the day to writing an article about correct stretching all major muscle groups. The resulting material is really very cool, but, unfortunately, I physically don’t have time to finish it today. So, you'll have to wait a day or two for sure.
And in this article I want to talk about such an important technical element in the preparation of basketball players as correct basketball stand . We all understand its importance, but, nevertheless, we very rarely come across truly competent articles about what a basketball player’s defensive stance should be, and in general: in what stance a basketball player should move around the court. Let's dot all the I's in this article.
Correct stance for a basketball player
Of course, you could just write a couple of lines with something like the following: download and carefully watch the section in which Rick Torbet talks about the position of the torso and legs of a basketball player. You can also cite the example of Bruce Bowen from the training course, but he talks not so much about the stance as about the need to maintain body balance. So let me tell you a few the most important moments which must be observed when taking a defensive stance.
So, the most important thing: you need to take a position so that your buttocks and heels are in line. Your knees should be in line with your toes and head. That's it!
Now let's remember what the coach most often shouts, forcing him to take a defensive stance? " Bend your legs!” - these are his words. Unfortunately, many novice athletes simply bend their knees in a way that is more comfortable for them. By bending his knees, the player begins to lose balance, and accordingly, such a stance will be “0”!
According to one American trainer, it is better to say “put your butt down!” Then, with a high degree of probability, the basketball player will take the correct position: the buttocks will be over the heels, the shoulders will be over the knees, and the knees will be in line with the toes.
Remember this phrase: in order to effectively move around the court, a player must bend only 3 joints well: ankles, hips and knees.
So forget about pointless bending of your legs: remember that the speed of movement around the court, the speed with which you can change the direction of movement and much more depends on the correctness of your defensive stance.
Well, naturally, I want to offer you a small clipping from the training video Better Basketball – Better 1 on 1 Defense, which just talks about the defensive stance. There are a couple of funny moments in the video, I especially laughed at the phrase “ raised ball forward" What I meant was that if you can't reach the ball in your opponent's outstretched hands, you're too far away. Well, one more thing: sprinters touch the ground with their hands, and do not practically touch, as I said in the translation. Well, I hope these are not the worst mistakes I made during translations. Let's see what happened.

And with this the article about the correct defensive stance of basketball players is over, I’ll go finish writing the article about stretching before classes. gym. I wish you successful training and look forward to visiting you on the pages of this site!
In a defensive stance, the player’s legs are bent at the knees and placed wider than shoulder-width apart, parallel on the same line, or one leg is extended forward half a step. The back is straight, the arms are bent at the elbows, the hands are open. Body weight is distributed evenly on the forefoot of both legs (Fig. 3).
Protective stance
Protective stands are distinguished by the degree of bending of the legs at the knees: low, medium and high. The low stance is most often used against low passes and dribbles (Figure 4). The middle stance is most convenient for intercepting passes performed at the level of the body, preventing throws from a place, and also for countering attempts to receive the ball (Fig. 5). A high stance is used to counteract overhead passes and jump shots (Fig. 6.). Based on the positions, a distinction is made between a stand with the leg extended forward and a stand with the feet on the same line - a “parallel” stand.
A stance with one foot forward is used when guarding an opponent with the ball, when it is necessary to prevent him from throwing the ball around the ring or going under the shield. The player with bent legs is usually located between the attacker and the shield. He puts one leg forward, extends his arm of the same name up and forward, preventing the expected throw, and puts the other hand out to the side and down to prevent dribbling the ball in the direction most dangerous for taking the basket (Fig. 7). When a defender is marking a player preparing to take a jump shot middle distances, he approaches him in a stance with his foot forward and extends his hand straight towards the ball, trying to make it difficult for his opponent to lift the ball up. A “parallel” stance is used when marking a striker preparing in the middle part of the court for a pass with a dribble to the right or left side(Fig. 8), when guarding the “center” player, standing with his back to the basket, as well as the opposing player without the ball, located at a far distance from the backboard.
Movement around the site
In the game, the direction of the defender's movements, as a rule, depends on the actions of the attacker. To maintain stability, the defender most often moves with an extra step forward, backward, right, left. In the most difficult situations, movements become combined: left-backward, right-forward, etc.
During movements there should be no high jumps or bending of the body. Most the right way movement is considered an additional, sliding step. Wherever the defender moves, the first step must be quick and energetic. The movement begins with the leg closest to the direction of movement. The first step ends with the foot landing on the inner arch of the foot. The second step, sliding, is taken by the other leg, moving the same distance as the first leg moved. The movement of the legs must be such that the defender maintains stable balance, and this can be achieved if the legs do not cross.
During the game, the success of defensive actions largely depends on correct position defender's hands. The position of the defender's hands is determined by the actions of the attacker. To prevent passes, the defender's hands are placed in the likely path of the ball. Against a shot into the basket, one hand rises up and forward towards the ball, the other is lowered down and controls the possible pass. Against the pass while dribbling the ball, both hands are lowered to the sides and down. When guarding the player with the ball, the defender must use continuous hand actions to influence the opponent, threatening him with the ball, preventing him from shooting or dribbling. Hands cannot be kept motionless, they must constantly move, creating inconvenience for the opponent.
Selecting a distance
In the game, there is a continuous struggle for distance between guards and attackers. The distance depends on a number of conditions. When taking a defensive stance, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the opponents’ game, the distance to the basket, the game situation and the player’s possession of the ball. In the area from which a throw can be made, the defender must take into account the attacker's speed, height, agility, and ability to make throws from a given position. In most cases, the defender should be at arm's length from the attacker whose actions he controls, which gives him the opportunity to knock, grab and snatch the ball. As the attacker moves away from the shield, the defender can increase the distance.
The defender must turn his head to see what is happening to his right, left and, if possible, behind him. This will help him avoid screens, collisions, and also keep the ball under his control and see his teammates. Good peripheral vision is an extremely important quality when playing defense.
Plastic bumpers for shelving
Plastic rack bumpers protect mezzanine and pallet rack columns from impacts from carts and forklifts. As a rule, they are used for intermediate racks. They are capable of withstanding the impact of special equipment weighing up to 5 tons moving at speeds of up to 5 km/h. The MTK company offers to purchase polyethylene bumpers for columns and racks of sizes 80, 90, 100, 120 mm and corner bumpers of racks.
In the production of these products, certain proportions of low and high pressure polyethylene are used. In addition, plasticizers are added to the mixture, giving the finished product shape-restoring and shock-absorbing properties. It is also worth remembering that when using plastic fenders in subzero temperatures, it is necessary to choose a special polyethylene composition. Various dyes are commonly added to polyethylene, but typically it is firefighter yellow, which is a color that a forklift operator can see from afar.
Using special Velcro straps, the bumpers are attached to the shelving posts. You can also secure them with belts with carabiners. And sometimes they use the most economical way- attached with tape. Therefore, installation and removal of the structure does not take more than a second. Protection of shelving racks can be done by any employee without tools. The bumpers can also be installed on top of each other.
Plastic fenders have a lot of advantages over metal ones:
- lower cost;
- quick installation, replacement without the involvement of specialists and the use of tools;
- do not damage the floor, as they are not secured with anchors;
- can be installed on top of each other - on the second and further tiers above the beam;
- bright, non-fading color.
Plastic protection for columns
Plastic protection for columns is necessary to preserve part of the column or wall. It is attached to the supporting structure with dowels, special Velcro straps or belts with carabiners. It can be installed on columns of any section and size. Security elements can also be stacked on top of each other.
Plastic protection for the column is made of high-strength polymer. Thanks to specially selected material and the spring design of the bumper segments, the product has a damping effect. The segments are connected to each other by star-shaped polymer pins, allowing for easy and quick installation. In addition, this form perfectly withstands even heavy loads.
Advantages of plastic column protection:
- high reliability;
- if repairs are necessary, only damaged segments are replaced;
- low installation costs, it can be performed by an ordinary employee;
- bright color, attractive design.
We also have on sale: , shelving various modifications and various warehouse equipment at wholesale prices. We provide delivery and installation on site.

The next step in training basketball guards is the right one defensive stance in basketball. We teach basketball players to correctly take the starting position for playing with their players.
We consider the boxing stance to be the main one when training. Here are our basic instructions to young basketball players: stand with your feet at least shoulder-width apart, bend your knees, distribute your body weight mostly on your toes, put your stronger, pushing leg forward, keep your back straight - don’t hunch, lift your head slightly up.
If a basketball player's defensive stance is performed correctly, then his gaze will be directed forward and upward. An exception is a defender holding a basketball player with the ball. If the opponent retains the right to dribble, then we recommend that the defender look at the opponent's knees - their position will indicate to the defender where the attacker intends to move.
It is better for a basketball defender to keep his hands in the middle position: this helps maintain body balance and move faster after his player.
The position of a defender's hands in basketball does not always remain the same. In zone defense, the defensive basketball player spreads his arms to the sides, as if creating a barrier in front of the attacking player.
If a defender is preparing to knock the ball away from an opponent or intercept a pass, then his arms are bent at the elbows. And when a defender prevents an attacker from passing the ball or shooting at the basket, he holds one hand up and the other down.
A defensive stance in basketball involves the defender's hands being used correctly, and we place a lot of importance on this. Our basketball players, while defending, must constantly perform movements with their hands. This psychologically affects attacking basketball players, preventing them from accurately passing the ball to their partners or accurately throwing the ball at our basket.
When the attacking basketball player of the opposing team has taken a place on the court from which he accurately throws the ball into the basket, our defender must immediately approach the opponent as soon as he takes the ball in his hands.
We teach basketball players to approach such an attacker with a sharp approaching step and try to prevent him from shooting without resistance.
If the opponent did not dribble the ball, but received it from his partners at his favorite “firing” point, then our defender should approach the attacker with a sliding step, slightly raising the hand closest to the opponent, without losing balance, so that the attacking basketball player could not pass with the ball to backboard and attack the basket from close range.
