My wife has recently taking a liking to boxing. She says she wants to spar/train with me at home before she gets into it seriously. I'm trying to get a consensus of it would be right to box her. She's a little smaller than me 10-15 lbs but she works the pad quite well good hand speed and power. We have headgear for protection what do you think?
use like 10% power or only a jab every now and then to keep her honest you don't need to hurt her to teach her, with headgear and a mouthpiece I don't see anything wrong with it. Avoid dong a Roy Jones Jr. on her too landing a million punches even pitty pat shots to her one will probably embarrass/discourage her.
Thanks, she's still doesn't know if she wants to fight but I think she's got the hands for it and she's been in a few bar fights before so she can take a punch too so I might go like 30% so I don't get knocked out.
Well she can learn to box without fighting till she's comfortable and confident in her ability, ..sparring's essential though my old trainer usually waited till the end of class when everyone was dead tired to do sparring so we didn't rip eachothers head's off.
I would never spar with my girlfriend/wife. If for whatever reason you hurt her and she goes to the police because she wants to screw you, you are done. And I mean, really realy f+++ up. In my country you would go to jail at least 2 days no matter what if you hit her in a sparring session with no witnes and she tells the police you hit her. If you have children it's even worse, way worse. "Oh! man! you are crazy, my girlfriend/wife would never do it to me". Yes, sure, but I wouldnt do it anyway.
^Chacal is right. Let her go watch some Dragon ball Z and her let her lose the urge for excitement that way
So what you're really trying to do is learn her moves so you can gain the upper hand eh? I guess the pants are too big for you and the laundry and dishes don't do themselves
Spar her at a gym and videotape it. Don't spar her at home lol. Make sure you tag her a few times otherwise it's a useless exercise, afterwards see if she still feels the same...
