) Boxing (or pugilism is a martial arts of English origin, in which two participants of similar weight called the fight with his fists in a collection of ones and three minutes rounds of stroke. Victory is achieved if the opponent down and is not in a position to beat to get up before the referee to ten points (a Knockout, or KO) or if the opponent than to hurt to continue (a technical knockout, or TKO) . If there is no stopping the fight before an agreed number of rounds, a winner is determined either by decision of the referee or the judges scorecards. In some countries, with their own fighting sports, the sport is referred to as “English Boxing” (eg in France) to the contrast with French boxing. Origin: Boxing for sport probably arose independently in various prehistoric cultures. [13] Archaeological evidence indicates that Berbers and Egyptians sport as early as 3000 BC, and boxing is depicted in Sumerian reliefs from the third millennium BC, may have practiced. The earliest evidence for boxing in the Mediterranean can be found in the Minoan civilization (c. 1500 BC) are found. The ancient Greeks and later the Romans had a sport called “boxing” (a term now often used for boxing), the pit was like. It contrasts with the struggle of ancient Greece because it was based on the use of fists. Unlike modern boxing, there were no weight classes, the combat has been separated into rings, and the fight had no time limit and ends with a co-or give up a fighter to fight, or sometimes (although rarely to the death) of one of the combatants . Instead of gloves, wrapped their hands in strips fighters of hardened leather which protected the fist and caused unpleasant injuries for the opponent. Long struggles have been decided by blows turns freely, with the first, which is a blow freely chosen by coin toss strike. According to the Iliad, Mycenaean warriors included boxing among their competitions in honor of the dead, but it is possible that the Homeric epics reflect later Greek culture. Another Greek legend has it that the heroic ruler Theseus, who in the 9th Century BC, lived, a form of boxing, where two men meet face SA, and beat each other with fists, to invent one of them was killed. Over time, the boxers began to fight standing up and wearing gloves (with spikes) and packaging, naked on the arms below the elbows, although otherwise they competed. Boxing was the first time as an Olympic sport (the ancient Greeks called Pygmy / Pygmachia) was adopted in 688 BC. The participants received training on the punching bag (called Korykos). Fighters wore leather straps (himantes) called on her hands, wrists, and sometimes the chest to protect against injury. The carriers have their fingers free. The legend says that the Spartans were the first field as well as to prepare for the sword and shield fighting.
