Beginners in boxing often make a few common mistakes. Here are some to watch out for:

1. Dropping Hands: Beginners often drop their non-punching hand, leaving their face exposed to counterattacks¹.
2. Poor Stance: Not maintaining a proper boxing stance can affect balance and power².
3. Chin Too High: Keeping the chin too high increases the risk of getting hit hard¹.
4. Lack of Footwork: Crossing feet or moving flat-footed can cause imbalance and limit mobility¹.
5. Holding Breath: Holding breath while punching wastes energy and makes punches tense and slow¹.
6. Overcommitting: Going too fast or hard can lead to mistakes and injuries³.
7. Ignoring Defense: Focusing too much on offense and neglecting defense can leave you vulnerable⁴.
8. Not Using Hips: Failing to turn hips and transfer weight reduces punch power and speed¹.

Avoiding these mistakes can help you improve faster and stay safe in the ring. 🥊💪
