Anybody here train others?

Ive trained several people over the years for various reasons but it always seem that the one who so badly wanna be fighters never work out for me. They say Jim I cant afford a gym right now so can you help me and I work with them and they just dont listen or they question my methods or cancel are sessions 10 minutes before they start or cant make it through simple ass workouts and start complaining. Ive used boxing to help folks lose weight before women actually and they worked there asses of much harder then the men ive worked with. Im free so I dont see what the problem is.

 

Almost every coach I've talked to has always said that their women are the ones who train the hardest.

 

I get more nervous holding the spit bucket than I do for my own fights. :rofl

 

I agree with your last 2 post Amy the women work harder it seems they have a serious goal and work hard to acheive it while you got plenty of men who just wanna box to make themselves look tough but they soon find out they arent tough enough to handle some basic training I ease people into these things but these dudes cant hack it freaking hillarious. I also get more nervous cornering someone im shaking badly and im an emotional wreck in the corner or if im watching a trainer or teamate of mine fight on TV I cant handle it but in the Ring or Cage myself im very calm.

 

I'd say that's true for my gym as well. It's a man's world so I guess the only ones that stick around are the motivated ones.

 

Yeah, it's a weird combination of not having a ego with anything to prove and having everything to prove because people say you shouldn't be there.

 

to prove you have heart, dedication, and discipline.

 

I train both guys and girls and i have to agree, the girls are easier to train, they listen more and train harder in a way, some of the guys train hard of course but a big difference is that most of the guys act like they where worldchampions with the attitude " I know all that", the girls listen and focus and then do the work.

My coach gets me to help with the coaching and I usually just show people the basics, do a pads with them when they start to figure out form and explain what the different equipment is for. I only do this when he's busy and he asks me.

I hate putting my training aside and doing it but I also want more people to keep with it since alot of people will stay until they can spar (maybe...) and after about 2 or 3 times sparring they quit. I agree with the rest of you, the women want to work hard and some of the guys just want to LOOK like they are. I've seen the biggest improvements in every aspect in the women.

 

Whoa! Few problems with that.

1. Tough man contests are not 'real fights'. (quite the opposite actually) They wear more protective gear than amateurs. People really need to get over thinking that club boxing and toughman contests are 'real fights' The rounds are a minute long for Pete's sake!

2. Once you compete in a toughman contest you are banned from amateur boxing for life.

Are you a registered coach Primenal?

 

yea **** the toughman **** i watched a video of that on youtube it just looked stupid and pointless get him in the am and get him some different sparring partners, take him to a gym a ask the owner/trainer for some sparring, he need to get used to fighting different opponents. Post a video of your guy.

 

If he is a registered coach...I'll eat my shoes. That's right, my brand new macho mai's. Salt pepper and eat the fukkers.

He started out wanting to weight drain this guy with saunas (like 2 months away)...was informed it is not a good way to go, from many, yet still sweated the guy down. Asks for advice on here, gets sincere responses...but yet still goes on about what he is doing in an improper fashion that is dangerous to the individual.

This for a toughman contest. That will fukk the person from having an option of ever fighting legit. You want to help this person? As in, truly? Get them someone who really wants to help them. You sir, are like one of the people pretending to be doctors on the internet and giving medical advice. No good will come of it.

I personally think you are doing this for yourself. To maybe make you feel empowered in some way. Not to help the person. OR, are just full of ****.

Sorry, it's early, Im grumpy...

 

Sounds like the killing part wasn't far off, why the **** would you do that?

 

At some points I agree with you, but wow... that was a little harsh... you could of said it nicer...

Has he ever even been to a toughman contest? I've only been to two but they werent anywhere near a boxing match. They were basically street fights with gloves and headgear.
