This Hajime Rising beginner guide walks you through your first session in the Roblox boxing game from The Boiasieen Fan Club. The developer calls it "my Ippo boxing game", but it is a separate game and not the manga or anime Hajime no Ippo. The game is in alpha and was created on October 7, 2026, so a lot is still unpublished. Everything below sticks to what the developer and named code sites have said.
Hajime Rising Beginner Guide: Your First Session
The game is free to play on Roblox. Servers hold up to 20 players, and the developer lists it under the Battlegrounds and Fighting genre. Private servers are not offered, so you will be sharing a server with other players from the start.
A sensible first session has four steps: build your boxer, get through the tutorial, redeem the free codes, then try a spar with the controls below. For the wider picture of the game and its links, the Hajime Rising wiki home page is the place to start.
Create Your Boxer And Pass The Tutorial
When you join, you build a character first. Destructoid describes options such as hair, eye colour, height and your name. The same site says the tutorial can be skipped, which is handy if you only want to get to a fight quickly.
Skipping is fine, but do not skip the controls. If you need a refresher while you play, press M to open the main menu, which also shows the control list. Anyone asking how to start can treat this Hajime Rising beginner guide as two choices: create the boxer, then either finish or skip the tutorial.
Learn The Core Controls
The developer's own game description lists these keys. The full list lives on the Hajime Rising controls page.
| Input | What the description says |
|---|---|
| Left click | Left-handed punch |
| Right click | Right-handed punch |
| Middle click | Lock on to a target |
| Look up or down | Aim at the head or at the body |
| E and R | Your two equipped skill moves |
| M | Main menu and controls |
A simple tip from those inputs: lock on first, then choose head or body by where you look. The developer does not publish damage numbers, so there is no data on which target is better.
Redeem Codes Before Your First Spar
Two codes are active as of November 3, 2026, and each gives 10 Reroll Tokens. Destructoid says Reroll Tokens re-roll your traits and appearance, so using them early lets you reshape the boxer you just made. Press M, open Codes, type the code and press Redeem. You will find both on the Hajime Rising codes page. If a code fails, check Hajime Rising codes not working. Codes from other games such as Anime Rising do not work here.
Punch Types And Stances In Short
You have three punch types, and you switch between them with a key. Z selects jabs, X hooks and C uppercuts, and each can be thrown with either hand. The Hajime Rising punch types page covers them in more detail.
Each boxer has a primary and a secondary stance, and T switches between them, even in the middle of a fight. What the stances actually change has not been published, so see Hajime Rising stances for the current state of knowledge.
What The Developer Has Not Published Yet
The honest list of unknowns is long, because the game is a few weeks old. No named source has published a tier list or a build yet. There is no confirmed list of traits, stances or skill moves, no stat numbers, and no official update log on the public game page. Mobile support is also unclear, since one guide says the controls are keyboard based and another says the game plays the same on mobile.
