Gym "initiation"

What in the ****???!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What is this, ****ing Fight Club??? That's a bull**** ass "club" right there that you would be well advised to steer clear from

 

Something similair happened to James Toney......................

For weeks...

 

Some trainers test you a bit but only after you learned basic skills and only up to a certain extent, you should be able to defend yourself and no serious damage should be done. Sounds like a horrible gym to me mate.

 

more like bully club!! yeah steer clear of it mate, it dont sound good to me either.

 

That sounds ridiculous.... steer clear. Like RDJ said after you've learned how to defend yourself get in the ring.

 

Sad... and then "boxers" wonder why there is so much controversy around the sport of boxing and why people consider it barbaric... I pity your gym...

On a side note however, nice avatar questionkid!

 

Not even that it can go to the extreme of fatally hurting someone but that they make the sport look bad by acting like fools. Their beating up on people without experience to compensate for their small dick just makes them appear childish and barbaric, and their acting childish and barbaric ultimatly hurts the sport...

 

Thankfully the gym i go to isnt like that. iv just joined and my first session involved being put with someone alot more experienced with the gloves on but actually teaching me !!!! Sounds like the trainers at that gym are a bit warped to me

 

stay clear of a gym that does MMA and boxing. If you wanna be a boxer that is.

 

Heh, I'm not sure about that one. My gym is boxing and mma/bjj and we never really have a problem. The mma trainer isnt as good as our boxing trainer though, kinda dumb. They've started having open sparring on Saturdays and asked me and a couple boxers to come and spar with a couple of the mma guys so that they could work on their stand up game. This last Saturday was their second time having sparring on Saturday and a few of us boxers started to spar, and then suddenly, they came up wih reason to leave and places they had to be at, and left one by one. WEIRD!

 

This sounds like this shittest/gayest gym to ever gay the gay. Most coaches will go easy on you and build up from scratch if you've got 0 boxing experience. Any gym that throws you into the deep end to do battle like a classic Star Trek rerun is ****. Stay well clear.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl In this dark dreary day...thank you:thumbsup

 

My gym does something similar to this. Not at all to this extent but same concept. My third day at the gym when I was 15 I got thrown in with a 21 or 22 year old who outweighed me by probably 10 pounds and he had more experience. Bloodied me up pretty good . I know most of you guys won't agree with this sort of thing but I'm kind of on the fence about it, true it will turn away 80% of the newcomers but the folks who stick around are the ones you can work with. Then again, my coach is old school and a *******.
