    I've only been boxing for a year and a half so I don't know if I can make an accurate judgement about this trainer..

    I'd like to hear what you guys think before I give my thoughts after training with him for a few days while I was on a trip in DC.

    I don't think he is training guys that intend to be fighters.

    Not only that, his training method is kinda dangerous even if its for 'gentlemen boxing'.
    He gave me a pair of youth-junior IMF gloves to hit the bag with, it looked like everyone else was wearing between 8 and 12 oz gloves, continuously rotating on the heavy bags for endless rounds, not really working technique at all.

    Just glad to know after that experience when I should just walk away from a gym/trainer.
