    Finally rid of all my injuries and I want to focus all my free time on boxing now. My dorm is also near a great boxing gym and to make sure I dont get injured training and keep up I want to do a few weeks/month of home training to prepare myself.

    Right now I'm doing:
    -Combinations without gloves and with 16oz to get used to the weight
    -Push-ups these really help with upper body endurance I've noticed
    -Practicing wrapping my hands using a youtube video, I injured my wrist and fingers several times during muay thai classes due to bad wrapping.
    -Jogging to build up a good cardio

    Anything else I should add or will doing this for a while give me a solid base? I will start back at the beginners anyway

    jog (endurance will be your BEST friend)
    do some intense interval cardio (if your body can handle it)
    do multi-step calisthenics in sets (squat thrusts, 8 count body builders)
    do punch burn outs wearing your gloves (just punch air until your arms burn)

    Nothing will give you too strong a base other than being physically fit. Even then, the mind body confusion will kick your butt anyway.

    Good luck! :good

    I've sprained my thumbs before but that's about it. It's common to hurt your knuckles and wrists, but fingers? How did that happen?
