IPPO MAKUNOUCHI 
 

 
BOXING WORKOUTS 

Ippo training with Kamagowa

NOTE: These FREE workouts are taken from the anime as accurately as possible based on the information given in the anime and altered or expanded on if needed (equivalent exercises are given in some cases). These workouts are intended for fun and ideas in your own training. Sets, reps and time frames are based on the anime show unless the show doesn't specify (in which case I make it up based on the rest of the training). A lot of this training may be untested or even impossible (emphasis on "for fun and ideas").

Ippo's Stat: 
Height - 165 cm / 5'5"
Weight - 57 kg / 126 lbs.
​
Ippo's Info:
Ippo is the main manual laborer in his family's fishing boat rental business so he frequently lifts large, heavy objects (preferring to take all of the goods in one trip) he is also tasked with pushing the ships out. After being saved by a local boxer by a group of bullies, Ippo decides he wants to take up boxing, already possessing good physical traits from helping out with the family fishing boat business, Ippo quickly picks up the lessons and develops into a world-class boxer.
