It's beem 2 years since i stepped in a boxing gym, but when i was i did, i still remember my first sparring session... I always here people saying they go 75% in sparring but our coach never said anything. we just got in the ring and sparred. I learned the hard way by getting my ass handed to me the first few months.. I'm just wondering do you guys spar full on? my coach was old school philly guy so maybe that's why. I
Spar like you would fight but if you see a guy is in trouble ease up. Sparring is about learning. In a beginners case that usually means they get their ass kicked.
In my gym fighters doesn't know how to go anything less than 100%, it intimidated me at first, but i learned who i needed to spar what way to learn specific things.
When I started, we just tried to kill each other. Like f#$@ing monkeys. I guess it's one way to learn to cover up so you don't get dusted.
