# Boxing Punch Classification Video Dataset

Short video clips of boxing punches, labeled for training vision language models.

## Dataset Description

This dataset contains 2278 short video clips extracted from Olympic boxing competition footage,
each labeled with one of 8 punch/action categories. The clips are designed for fine-tuning
vision LLMs like Qwen-VL for boxing action recognition.

### Source

Derived from the [Olympic Boxing Punch Classification Video Dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/piotrstefaskiue/olympic-boxing-punch-classification-video-dataset)
by Piotr Stefański et al. Original recordings from a 2021 boxing league competition.

## Labels

| Label | Count |
|-------|-------|
| head_left_hand | 807 |
| head_right_hand | 390 |
| miss_left_hand | 387 |
| miss_right_hand | 209 |
| block_left_hand | 190 |
| body_left_hand | 111 |
| block_right_hand | 96 |
| body_right_hand | 88 |

**Total clips:** 2278
**Total duration:** 1562.9 seconds

## Dataset Structure

Each entry contains:
- `file_name`: Path to the video clip (.mp4)
- `label`: Action category (English)
- `start_time` / `end_time`: Timestamps in the source video
- `duration`: Clip length in seconds
- `source_video`: Original video filename
- `fps`: Frames per second

## Usage

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("NealBeans/BoxingDataset")
```

### For Qwen-VL Fine-tuning

```python
from transformers import Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration, AutoProcessor

model = Qwen2VLForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct")
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct")

# Each clip can be used as video input with its label as the target
```
