And you need a trainer, not a class to really get the instruction and mitt work. If you are taking at a fitness club and this is one of the classes offered, it is most likely just exercise.I hit much harder now than when  I first started. Significantly more. Because it is an entire body movement to throw a punch properly and to end back in a safe defensive position. Though I have not tried any other types of self defense, I would imagine boxing would be the in the top 3, if not, the number 1 way to learn how to throw a punch properly.</blockquote>
