Knockout is a boxing training app for anyone who wants to learn boxing step by step. Whether you're training without equipment, practicing shadowboxing in your living room, or working on a heavy bag at the gym, you always know what to practice next. Forget piecing together random boxing tutorials. Watch each technique, follow guided rounds, complete your training sessions, and build your skills over time. LEARN BOXING STEP BY STEP • Follow a progressive 4-week boxing training program. • Start with the fundamentals: boxing stance, guard, balance, and basic punches. • Practice the jab, cross, footwork, head movement, and defense. • Learn boxing combinations with clear video demonstrations. • See the active technique, round, and rest while you train. • Move from beginner boxing drills to more challenging combo workouts. • Build a regular boxing practice, one lesson at a time. BOXING WORKOUTS AT HOME OR IN THE GYM • Start boxing at home with no equipment — shadowboxing is all you need. • Practice punch combinations and boxing footwork on your own. • Use guided boxing workouts to make solo training more structured. • Bring Knockout to the gym for heavy bag workouts and conditioning. • Use the boxing timer for sparring rounds, partner drills, or coach-led sessions. • Fit boxing practice into your routine, whether you're just starting or returning to training.

CUSTOM BOXING ROUND TIMER Need a boxing interval timer for shadowboxing, heavy bag training, sparring, or conditioning? Create your own routine or start with a preset. • Set the number of rounds, work duration, rest time, and preparation time. • Combine prepare, work, rest, and repeat steps into custom workouts. • Customize interval names, colors, and transition sounds. • Add random audio cues for reaction, focus, and timing drills. • Choose presets for boxing, MMA, HIIT, Tabata, and interval workouts. • Track completed rounds, sessions, and active training time. BUILT FOR YOUR BOXING GOALS New to boxing? Start with beginner-friendly lessons and learn the basics before moving into combinations. Training without a coach?
