" BOXING "

Although the term "boxing" is commonly attributed to "western boxing", in which only the fists are involved, boxing has developed in various ways in different geographical areas and cultures. In global terms, boxing is a set of combat sports focused on striking, in which two opponents face each other in a fight using at least their fists, and possibly involving other actions such as kicks, elbow strikes, knee strikes, and headbutts, depending on the rules. Some of the forms of the modern sport are western boxing, bare knuckle boxing, kickboxing, muay-thai, lethwei, savate, and sanda.
Boxing techniques have been incorporated into many martial arts, military systems, and other combat sports.
Amateur boxing is both an Olympic and Commonwealth Games sport and is a standard fixture in most international games—it also has its own world championships. Boxing is overseen by a referee over a series of one-to-three-minute intervals called "rounds".

A winner can be resolved before the completion of the rounds when a referee deems an opponent incapable of continuing, disqualifies an opponent, or the opponent resigns. When the fight reaches the end of its final round with both opponents still standing, the judges' scorecards determine the victor. In case both fighters gain equal scores from the judges, a professional bout is considered a draw. In Olympic boxing, because a winner must be declared, judges award the contest to one fighter on technical criteria.

" MOTIVATION "

Motivation is the secret that keeps martial arts students training for decades. A lifetime discipline, the martial arts must be honed day in and day out: it is a lifetime practice for lifelong learners. The student must not retreat from practice, become lax in training, or settle for sloppy form.

The determined martial arts student must prioritize motivation above all else, even more so than the martial arts instructor and fellow students. Motivation is what urges the martial arts student to attend weekly classes rather than become distracted with the latest craze or world events.

With every punch, kick, or throwdown, motivation drives the martial arts student forward. Difficult techniques are practiced to perfection when motivation kicks in. Mental and physical limitations are no longer obstacles when motivation propels the student to overcome them.
