At 9:00 a.m. on January 8, 2022 at the Beijing Shoutai-High5 Boxing Club, China's first boxing level assessment for the public was held, with a total of 47 players from the age of 5 to 40 participating, which may be a very important turning point in the overall development of Boxing for the Chinese masses.
"After practicing for so long, what level am I?" This question has always been accompanied by millions of amateur boxing enthusiasts. Without a unified and clear standard of training level, the separation of professional competition system and mass training has long been a major obstacle to the popularization of Boxing in China.
To evaluate a professional boxer in a system, we have too many ways to quantify his height - the city team, the provincial championship, the provincial championship, the provincial team, the second level athlete, the first level athlete... However, mass trainers can only carefully evaluate themselves for a long time, and it is difficult to simply balance the pairing from the training resume when fighting exercises.
In yesterday's evaluation, I saw the children who had been taken by their father to watch boxing from their swaddling, the sister who was over forty years old but had an extra head on boxing training, the famous school students who regarded boxing as the driving force of life, and the deaf boxers who regarded boxing as a belief, there is no doubt that they loved boxing, because for too long in the past, it seems that no matter how hard they try, they can easily be carried by the phrase "amateur practice".
Since now, the chinese boxing level assessment can finally be authoritative, professional and systematic to put the public practitioners and professional competitors under a unified standard framework. Advanced standards include:
Preparatory level one to three bronze fist level one to three silver fist level one to three golden fist level one to nine stages, where the preparatory level represents the technical entry stage, the copper fist level represents the technical improvement stage, the silver fist level represents the basic technical improvement state, and the golden fist level refers to entering the professional level. The evaluation standard is very clear and phased, the preparatory level to the bronze fist level to examine the level of technical mastery of a higher level as the standard, the golden fist period begins, physical fitness and actual combat become the center of the evaluation. The fourth dan of golden boxing and the third level of boxing recognized by the General Administration of Sports can be roughly drawn equal signs, and the sixth dan of golden fist corresponds to the boxing level 1 athletes in the system.
"Golden Fist Master" will become a new challenge target for the majority of amateur boxing enthusiasts. I believe that if it can really develop smoothly as desired, this will not be a side road for the new branch of Chinese boxing, but will be a road that completely connects amateur mass training and professional competition. It's like in the United States and Japan, where the sport of martial arts is more popular, whether it is jiu-jitsu, judo, or karate, all trainers are in a consistent training environment, the initial white belt competition is a complete amateur rookie competition, and the black belt master will seamlessly dock with many top professional fighting events. A sound hierarchy will achieve the dignity of the vast number of trainers.
This promotion examination has created three firsts in the domestic boxing industry, one is the first Chinese boxing technical level examination promotion unit (Quansheng Sports), the second is the first Chinese boxing technical level grading examination center (Shoutai-High5 Boxing Club), and the third is the first time that China officially launched the boxing technical rating evaluation; this is undoubtedly a milestone. The director of the Youth and Youth Department of the Chinese Boxing Association personally announced the start of the examination, the Boxing Referee of the Rio Olympic Games presided over the examination as the chief examiner, and the national team Olympic coaches gave pre-examination counseling for the reference students outside the field, which reflected the high specifications, high standards and high requirements of the examination in a comprehensive sense.
The organizers of the evaluation, Quansheng Sports and Shoutai CTC as the first boxing sports technical level promotion examination promotion unit.
For the majority of children and parents, this is obviously more good news. This means that in addition to the old sports school-professional team system, a new promotion channel has been opened for young people, and young boxers who have outstanding performance and meet the standards will have the opportunity to participate in provincial boxing championships within the system. The top three can also obtain the national level athlete or second level athlete level certification jointly issued by the State General Administration of Sports and the Ministry of Education. This will be of great help to future education.
Shoutai CTC and HIGH 5 Quansheng Sports provide young amateur boxers born after January 1, 2004 with the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Youth Boxing Championship free of charge, and the annual registration has been opened, and the door of the Sports University is opening to you.
