General health and athletic conditioning: The one most obvious benefit of boxing is that it's a great form of cardiovascular exercise. It improves stamina to a great extent and helps burning body fat, thus lending you a lean, fit body naturally. Cardio kick boxing workouts allow you to burn out 350 to 500 calories in just an hour Moreover, boxing drills help improve reflexes and strength.
Focus: Boxing isn't as much a sport of power as it is of tactics. Knowing when and where to strike often overcomes any lack of physical prowess. You learn how to fix your eyes on a moving target, which combination of punches to go for, all the while trying to evade strikes from the opponent. Sometimes, you have to be patient, gauge the opponent acutely, lure him into making a mistake, and then hit him on the counter. At times, boxing becomes a game of chess-albeit a more physically demanding one.
