First time at the gym today.

goodjob, big respect to anyone whos willing to step into the ring. Man i remember first time sparring though i felt like i was gonna die and was nervous as hell for the past few sparring sessions. When you get good enough to do well you start to just have so much fun. Listen to what your coach says and before you try things professionals do, get a few years of practicing the fundamentals.

goodluck, more respect to you if you decide to continue with the sport!

 

first week - learning straights infront of mirror, stance, footwork etc.. shoulder catching with partner.. not so intense training but very very important

 

bro all you need is your jab and footwork. First time sparring will be a nervous wreck for you. When I sparred I knew what I had to do but my head just went blank and I threw punches that had no power from my legs. I was sparring a southpaw to so that sucked even more.

 

u shouldnt spar for at least 1 month.

 

what are your goals

 

well i went to two different gyms. my first gym was sort of a money raker, although it was a good starter.

mirror - practice jabs whole time until my jab looked okay, then when that was done front and back movement, side to side etc. Just the basic things.

 

is your gym sort of like a class type of thing?

 

ah wow lucky you, my gym is more solo based, i would have loved to have a gym like yours but im still happy with the way my gym works. I work on the things my coach tells me.

 

Good stuff. At the beginning, don't overthink too much. Just go with the flow, listen to your coach. Don't worry about getting your ass kicked so soon, your coach will likely hold off on any sparring until you're in some shape and can defend yourself half decently.

The learning phase is enjoyable, because there's no pressure to be at any level just yet. Just try your best and find out what your strengths are and have fun.

 

southpaws are gay

 

its funny that you have the audacity to call anyone gay with that picture as your avatar.
