Balance Is So Importance In Boxing
By: Aaron Snowell
In boxing evaluation of any stance in boxing entails looking at three different components: balance, power, and mobility. These components are highly interrelated. For example, maximum balance occurs when the low crouching position is taken. If the position is too low, however, it restricts the ability of the inside muscles of the thigh to move the body, thereby reducing both power (work/time) and mobility.
It is essential that a practitioner of boxing be aware of his stand of support. To do this,, a practitioner needs an intuitive understanding of some basic principles of the center of gravity (COG).
When scientists refer to the COG of an object or of an individual, they are referring to an imaginary reference point around which the object, or the weight of the body, is equally distributed. The COG varies not only from person to person, because of differences in body structure, but also in relation to a boxer body position. Even the slightest movement, such as lifting an arm, alters the COG. Sometimes for instance when one reaches far forward or leans far back the COG actually lies somewhere outside the body.
The stability of a boxing stance is heavily dependent on the location of the COG. Because COG changes must occur at will and almost instantaneously, the stability of the position will change just as quickly. This is an extremely important consideration in delivering a blow. It allows the forces and torques (two or more forces acting in opposite directions at each end of a human body lever) to move the body, hands, and feet with great acceleration. Movement by the torso, with its large, slow muscles, is immediately followed by the turning of the smaller, faster muscles of the arms legs. It is also important that the puncher assume a stable foot-ground position so that the feet can contribute to the force of the blow. Without a strong base of support, the body cannot generate the power necessary to punch with such devastating force. If the puncher jumps up into the air to deliver a blow limits the amount of force.
With lighting-fast reflexes, a boxer can change from a stable stance of support to a unstable stance. This gives him the mobility to avoid a blow from an opponent.
Whether assuming an attacking or defending position, the boxer requires a continually changing base of support from a foot to foot stances. The body is most stable when directly over stance of support, yet considerable movement outside the stance of support is necessary to accomplish many punches. In this way, he is less vulnerable and is ready to execute any countering defensive moves.
The most effective forward punches are those in which the COG stays in the same horizontal plane. With extraneous horizontal movement eliminated, the boxer can take the straightest line to the target. This allows him to get to the target quickly and deliver a blow with the most devastating force.
A telltale sign of the efficiency of a movement is the body position at start and completion. The starting stance initiates the large accelerations necessary to execute the technique: the completion stance attempts to deliver as much body mass as possible. Sometimes the starting and completion stances are very similar (the body hardly moves),
but at other times a large shift of body weight takes place, so the stances at the start and completion of a move are very different. An accomplished boxer shifts from foot to foot that stresses acceleration (change inn velocity/time), as in a quick punch, to one that stresses momentum (mass x velocity), as in the hook punch.

"Pacquiao foundation" linked to smuggling
‘Pacquiao foundation’ linked to smuggling
by Joel E. Zurbano
A syndicate is using the name of boxing icon Manny Pacquiao to smuggle hand-me-down clothes through the Manila South Harbor, Customs officials said on Wednesday.
Its mode of operations was uncovered after Customs officials seized two 40-foot container vans of used clothes, described by the importer as relief goods from the United States. The shipment was consigned to Manny Pacquiao Foundation, said to be a non-government group organized by the boxing icon and now congressman representing Saranggani province.
The so-called Manny Pacquiao Foundation turned out to be fictitious, said Customs Intelligence agent Eric Albano.
The Manny Pacquiao Foundation does not exist, but there’s an Emmanuel Pacquiao Foundation based in the United States, Albano said.
Customs Intelligence director Filomeno Vicencio Jr. ordered the shipment impounded at the Port of Manila’s examination area.
Vicencio said that the two container vans were loaded with used clothing with an estimated value of P5 million. He said that the shipment arrived at the South Harbor last July.
“We are digging deep to find out the real owner of the shipment,” said Vicencio.
The law, Republic Act 4653, prohibits the importation of used clothing.
Customs Commissioner Angelito Alvarez said he favored legalizing the importation of useed clothes, which would generate P700 million a year in revenue.
He said he met with several lawmakers and was pleased with their positive response.
“They said they would keep an open mind. They said that there is a need for a thorough study on the anticipated revenues that we would generate and its impact on the garment or textile industry. But to my knowledge, the garment sector has been weak,” said Alvarez.
He said that the garment industry is a dying industry unlike 10 years ago.
Alvarez said that if the used clothes would be allowed to enter the country, the bureau could impose duties and taxes and earn about P700 million a year. He estimated that 1,000 container vans of used clothes arrive in the country annually.
