His appearance shouldn't make any difference at all you insulting little twat,,,get of your high horse & try to see it form other peoples point of view ,,you sound like a spoillet brat who likes everything his own way,,welcome to the world of life's a ***** The fat coach probably know you don't like him & laughs at you on the bags don't judge anyone by there appearance ,I'm guessing you don't no his history,,,,,so go & take your mums money elsewere & respect your holder's :boxx
Thats what i like to hear ,,I'm coaching for free at a club i started boxing at years ago,,,I'm all about technique & the ability to find opening against your opponents,,,we still need the fitness coach's thought,,,, I wish you good look for the future ,maybe we will bump into one another over the years,,,huithwaight BC I'm at ,,not made no champions over the years ,but I'm hoping that will change within couple years:thumbsup
Good luck to you too. I make a living out of coaching- I'm fully qualified and have lots of experience and take the time to learn and read so that I deliever the best possible service to my clients and boxers.
**** you for one and two if you live around Toronto you are more then welcome to test out my boxing skills and high horse,? what does a person's history have to do with them NOT DOING their job, which is coaching atleast to some degree and yes i will take my money somewhere else and where your garbage "boxing"club used to be, there will be a goodlife fitness club lol and about appearance, yes i will teach people a sport which is known for hard work and fitness and yet i will look like i live in burger king lol PS YOU SHOULD ONLY RESPECT PEOPLE THAT DESERVE RESPECT AND THESE LAZY JERKS MUCH LIKE YOURSELF DONT DESERVE IT
GREAT story there is actually a boxing club near my friend's house with a similar coach the guy started out as a boxercise student and now he owns a boxing gym and is the head coach. the only time he is know to have sparred was with a 45 year old boxing rookie who broke his nose lol yet he tries to teach people all this shoulder roll stuff lol and talks about how many coaches lack knowelge he makes his students spar after a 2 hour class full of intervals lol this is his place http://www.combatasylum.com/
and yes a student should listen to a guy who looks like he lives in burger king about getting in shape lol and the coach doesnt have to be ripped just dont look like peter griffin from family guy just out of self respect, the muay thai guy does not let himself go, why cant the boxing coach do the same. just like the skinny mofo teaching bodybuilding may in theory know more about it then a pro bodybuilder but who are you more likely to ask for advice on bicep curls lol
OK if i ever go to Toronto i will call at your gym ,,have a spar with you & then tell you where you went wrong lazy jerk ??? ,,you couldn't be more wrong,,i will skip ,do the circuit training & put on the gloves to spar ,I'm an active coach that gets respect because i can do what the paying customer do i will hit you with a right upper cut & tell you ,,how i got the power,how i made the opening to get contact to target & what you did wrong in your defense so unless you are professional and pay for most of the coach's time,,you will have to take the advise as & when you get it 20%/30% is from the coach ,,,,,70%/80% is from the student on improving you boxing skills
There is a gym near mine and they get everyone to run in a circle in the ring and as they run past they punch the guy opposite in the stomach ha ha ha They also block the jab and the right hand by karate chopping it away. One of their boxers had paid something like £2000 for training for a white collar bout, then he was to sell tickets for £45 each and box for free. He came to me 7 days before his fight and had being training 3 times a week for 16 weeks. I swear hand on heart that I have lads who are more technically accomplished then he was after 1 hour. Greed disgusts me- its the worse trait in humans and the root of all evil. Think about it. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOJl9RuihXU[/ame]
Good luck with your goals of not progressing if you're only going to value the advice of those "in shape".
I think the most important thing in a coach is his understanding of biomechanics. If he can look at your posture, balance, stance and movement and tell you how to correct the issue you'll save possibly years of time wasted on less than optimal training and ingraining bad habits. So many boxing coaches throw out cliches like 'move your head', 'stay on the balls of your feet', 'extend your punches more' etc. without being able to tell you how. They look at the symptoms instead of the cause. Anybody can be taught to be decent with a perceptive teacher. Technique and motor learning is everything, a lot of boxing coaches think it's all about natural talent and conditioning. Natural talent isn't natural, it was developed somewhere along the way and most boxing coaches don't understand the basic principles of training. They think if their boxer is hurting and the more they hurt the better they are being trained. Stress and adaptation is conditioning. Coaches need to talk to their athlete about how they're feeling and let them have a say in their training if they want to prevent burnout. So many guys I know have quit boxing all together because trainers don't understand that a certain volume of training might cause someone to overtrain while the same volume might not be enough for someone else. It's all train hard everyday and do as I say when it comes to boxing coaches, that's what will kill boxing at the grassroots level. Less participants at that level and the smaller the sport will be. Calm and knowledgable coaches get the best results, having a cohesive team in the training environment makes all the difference. The fat uncoordinated kid in the corner should be included and focused on as well, positivity influences participation and keeps people wanting to learn. A coach should be a teacher, not a selector.
