Stretching activities for the individual should precede all boxing classes for joint flexibility and muscular elasticity. Time is not allotted in class for stretching so the cadet should stretch prior to arriving. 3. Cadets should be aware that the idea of conditioning is a continuous process. The boxing course is designed to teach specific skills not get the cadet “in shape”. The cadet has the responsibility to ensure that he is appropriately conditioned. 4.
