light sparring

alright my bro isnt that good at boxing yet so in order for me to work on my defense i have him throw punches and i block and dodge them. he rarely hits me but i wear a mouthgaurd just in case. should i also buy a cheap headgear to wear aswell?

 

Don't be a ****ing *****.

 

im not. i was just wondering. i have sparred many times no helmet

 

wear a head gear

 

it would be best
because he will improve an start tagging you

 

It's always a good idea to have at least one person wearing head gear, in case of an accidental headbutt.

 

maybe u should spar with me, sounds like u need some competition ??

 

i got headbutted wem we both had head gear an the ref had to stop it cuz id split me lip

 

Considering you posted in another thread that when you spar you throw punches as hard as you can, then yeah, you should probably get headgear.

 

:huh if he's the 1 throwing punches as hard as he can he cant hit himself
i see what you mean tho

 

I was assuming he'd get a set of headgear for him and his brother. Additionally, if he's being an arsehole sparring full power, his brother is more likely to return the same.

 

thats wat i meant wen i said i see wat u mean

 

when i train at my gym we don't use headgear, yes we do it hard also. However when your coming up to a fight i suggest you do wear one, not to protect yourself but to get use to it. In a fight you will need to wear one so train with it and learn to fight with it.
hope that helps.

 

Where in the blue hell do you train?

 

We usually spar without headgear as well, except right before a fight, or if the person prefers so wear one. I hate headgear to be honest, I can't see a thing if I wear it, my defense goes to ****. As long as I don't spar guys who are much bigger it doesn't bother me.
