Cha Jun-hwan, a Korean male figure skater, is sweating at the boxing field these days.

It's a special training for the next season, and reporter Ha Sung-ryong covered it.

Cha Jun-hwan goes to the ring three times a week in a boxing glove.

This is because boxing, which uses momentary power while riding the rhythm, is also helpful for figure skating. It is possible to increase the jump rotation speed by strengthening the body's 'power zone' when the fist is stretched while rotating the torso.

Cha Jun-hwan, who has been judged several times in the fourth round jump last season, plans to make up for his shortcomings with boxing training.

[Cho Jun-Hwan / Figure Skating National Team: When I insert a straight, the core (power zone) rotates and it feels like I'm holding it (that feeling) is similar to figure skating ... .]

The modest boxing moves also help with expressiveness.

[Cho Jun-Hwan / Figure Skating National Team: I think I can digest a lot of other concepts as I have a strong expression.

Cha Jun-hwan is also experiencing a new experience as a 'new university student' these days.

Although I still only take online classes, I hope to overcome Corona 19 as soon as possible and try to live on campus.

[Junhwan Cha / Figure Skating National Team: The professor has only seen his face on the Internet. Motivations are cyber motives.]

Cha Jun-hwan, who is recharging energy through other experiences outside the ice, has pledged a wonderful next season to be with fans.

[Cho Jun-Hwan / Figure Skating National Team: Corona is very difficult, but I hope you're healthy, and I'll be healthy too, and I'll come back to develop better in the next season.]
