Bros, I got a few PMs with questions. I will answer in this thread so as not to repeat in the future:
- On "typical" training session in our "amateur" gyms:
1. "Roadwork" warm-up = about 15 min.
(not exactly it, but best i could find)
2. Jumping rope 3*3 min, with 20-30 sec. breaks during which we do different types of push-ups (about 20-25 in one go).
3. Depending on the focus of a particular session:
- partner drills without gloves;
- circle training (working on each station for about 30 sec/1 min. then change to the next);
4. Shadow boxing 2*3 min (bandaging one hand at a time during breaks):
5. Light free sparring warm-up (left hand only) 1*3 min.
6. Partner drills in gloves ...*3min.
7. Free sparring (round 1 - only left hand, round 2 - left all+right to the body, round 3 - free) - 3*3 min.
8. Heavy bag workout 3*3 min.
9. Group push-ups, sit-ups, neck, etc. 10-15 min.
10. Stretching.
- Сost of classes (in big cities):
1 group session (2 hours) - about 6 USD
12 group sessions a month (2 hours each) - about 65 USD
1 private session (mitts, etc.) - about 75 USD
- Grade system:
1. Novice (12 y.o. min for official competitions)* - people less than 3 months in training are not allowed to participate in the competition.
* this stupidity leads to the fact that often people with 50-60 "unofficial" fights are listed for beginner tournaments.
2. 3rd Grade (junior/senior) - 5 wins during a year on any level competitions.
3. 2nd Grade (junior/senior) - 10 wins within a year with opponents of 3rd grade or higher.
4. 1st Grade (junior/senior) - 15 wins over 2nd grade or higher.
5. Master of sport candidate (15 y.o. min) - win the championship of the republic, territory, region.
6. Master of sport (17 y.o. min) - take 1st or 2nd place in the Russia Cup or similar level competition.
7. Master of sport international level - Take 1st to 5th place at the Olympic Games. Take a prize (1-3) at the World Cup. Take a prize (1-3) at the European Championship or World Cup. Take 1-2 places at the World Championship among military personnel or the World War Games. Win the world championship among juniors. Win the European Cup. Win the European Championship among juniors. Win an international tournament approved by AIBA, provided that the boxer this year won 1st or 2nd place in the Russian Championship.
8. Merrited master of sport - multiple times previous achievements.
