RingsideReady

Corner

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

category

ring

plain english

The assigned corner of the ring where you rest between rounds, with your coach just outside the ropes. Also used loosely for the people who look after you in a bout.

example

Go back to your corner when the bell rings.

why it matters

In a bout you always return to the same corner. In the gym it is also a reminder that rest and instruction happen between rounds, not while someone is punching.
