Plus, you'll just feel more confident if you know some of the basics before you jump in. And having proper form ensures that you are using the right muscle groups for each exercise and can help prevent injuries. With up to 30 or more people in a class, it can be hard for one instructor to work with every single person to make sure they know how to throw a punch and have the correct form. At most boxing and kickboxing classes there's normally a moment where the instructor reviews exactly how to throw a punch, but it's likely super quick, and is not revisited in the group setting.
If you're new to boxing, though, it's a good idea to have some sort of a primer on the basic moves and form before you go. You'll sweat, punch out any hard feelings, and feel like a badass doing it. And there's a reason for it- boxing is a great workout. The boxing craze continues to build with new studios like Rumble, Box and Flow, and BoxUnion popping up all over.
