I doubt they see me as cannon fodder,also.I am sure it sounds ridiculous at this point of our interaction,but i hardly speak in people in general.I'm very silent in general,and i don't try to sound arrogant or cocky when i'm refering to people.Seriously,i know how ridiculous it sounds after you saw my previous replies but it's the truth. Now about the trainer people would kill for"Here's the problem. 1)He's only harsh to me. 2)He's overly agressive and rude.Even more than i appear in this site. 3)While his brother,the owner of the gym.A guy who fought in the olympics of 2005 i think?yes. told me that if i improve my footwork,and my defense.He will sign me up for a C category tournament,after i accidentaly punched the guy in the stomach.He told me you will get 14 oz gloves,i'm not allowing you to wear anything lighter.My speed increased since then,but my punches losed steam.A lot,also my knuckles stopped hurting. Anyway,i don't know which one is right and which one isn't.If i post three videos of me,hitting the heavy bag for power/speed/and shadow boxing.Will you be able to give me a honest opinion? Also i don't trust him for sh,,it.I don't trust our trainers in my country in general. Although some of them have golden hearts,which in my opinion are more appreciable than knowledge.But this guy isn't one of them.He told one of our 4 pros in our gym"YOU HAVE YOUR GUARD DOWN A LOT THAT'S WHY YOU GOT YOUR ASS KNOCKED DOWN IN YOUR LAST FIGHT!YOU WILL LOOK LIKE LOSER AGAIN!That's overboard.
Some people are a-holes but they can still be good at their profession. So he might still be a good coach. Maybe he is showing you extra attention because you need it the most or because he sees most potential in you, or he simply doesn't like you. Hard to tell, but if his critic is fair that would suggest otherwise. That your hand doesn't hurt I'd say is a good thing. Might have to do with thicker gloves and that your hand are more prone to hitting. Sore hands is not a good thing in the long run for a pugilist. If you upload a video on here you'll get a lot of opinions. I'd say it's better to trust your coach than an internet forum. But then again it's always fun when people upload their videos. But the heart of the matter I think is: Do you think your coach critic (on your technique etc.) is fair? Is it only his attitude that is the problem? If that is the case I'd say you've got a devoted coach that you should stick with as long as you can handle him mentally.
He's paying too much attention to details,the pivot jab the one you do by rotating your hip and your front foot for him is the only correct jab. He's persisting me to stop weigh lifting for some reason,a lot..
Well, ok - how about this then: You upload a video and I'll give you completely honest feedback on it, to the best of my ability. As, I'm sure will some others. You'll probably get some very useful advice - there are some very knowledgeable people on this site. For myself, I'm not claiming any special knowledge - but I train with other boxers and I'll give you honest advice. Don't forget that the video should also show your legs and feet (not just shoulders, arms and head) if you want to get some proper analysis and advice - proper punching starts in the feet, so we'll need to see if your feet are correct, too.
Why not do a bit of both. If you'd like a suggestion, start off with a bit of moving around with the bag, add in some straight punches at range and then throw some heavy shots. Basically, the more you show, the better quality of suggestions and advice you are likely to get. And improvement is what it's all about, right? Perhaps try to do at least 2 minutes of whatever it is you'd like to work on?
That could be the problem there - the trainers are in disagreement with your competition timetable. One thinks you can be ready, one not. I would err on the side of caution and aim for next years championships - you could always resort to a short, mysterious achilles problem and issue solved.
I don't agree with either of them,for two very simple reasons. 1)Or amateur level here in my country sucks,damn yeah i can beat them up.90%of the newbies here get two punches in the nose,and they put their head down and start throwing super wild shots out of nowhere.I'm not like that,i have been in the hospital after a street fight for stiches...Three times,damn yeah i got more soul than them,i never had a choice not to. 2)MY FOOTWORK SUCKS,and i can't weave for ****.If the amateur championship was in mexico,i would lose 90-4 100%,i'm very lucky and unlucky that the competition isn't even near that. Bottom line,i'm not saying that i am good.I'm saying that our amateur boxers suck.
Well, it's up to you - but the cycle of practise-feedback-improvement is necessary if you're going to get better
