Text Box: HOME Text Box: ABOUT Text Box: BOXING Phil Nourse has long held a great passion for the sport of boxing and, as such, has focussed his efforts greatly on developing his own concepts and philosophies on effective conditioning for boxing. This has been taken from direct observation and from published academic research on the sport. The methods that he employs are often controversial in the sport which has a tendency to want to hold on to traditional training methods. Phil has, for example, innovated the use of shot putts and kettlebell throwing to develop punching power, as well as taking a quite contentious approach to cardiovascular conditioning.     Phil Nourse is a regular contributor to Boxing News magazine, one of the world’s most respected and longest running boxing journals, and a number of his articles for the magazine can be downloaded below.
