Inductive and Deductive Reasoning for Boxing

Inductive and deductive reasoning are staples of geometry. The concept of these forms of reasoning are fairly self explanatory. You simply look for patterns in order to arrive at an understanding of the truth. For example, if a sequence of numbers follows the progression of one, two, three, it would be a fairly accurate assessment to assume that the next numbers in the sequence would be four, five, six.

Now, if you look at twenty different species of birds and all of them flew somewhat assume that called birds can fly. This is not accurate because a bird such as the ostrich cannot fly. And therefore, the assumption of arrived was false due to limited perspective of the subject.

Much of this can be applied to boxing when attempting to disseminate the use of boxing in amateur boxing, mixed martial arts, or self defense applications. You want to train in a manner that is most efficient for your goals. Therefore, a little inductive and deductive reasoning will work wonders for developing the right training methodology.
