So, I finally started boxing

As far as pads, I started off real simple. Jab, jab, jab, jab, jab/cross. 2 jabs,, 2jabs, 2jabs, and so forth. I felt like my left arm was going to fall off. I would imagine any good trainer would have you drilling 1 or 2 things over and over than trying to show you 10 things at once. Don't worry about "screwing up." Enjoy making the corrections and improving. Mistakes are expected and necessary in any process.

I by no means am a great boxer but I can say that the better I get the more I recognize I don't know. When I started the first month I thought how hard can it be, it's 4 punches. Hilarious now looking back.

 

#1 Prospect in the country? Who?

 

You sound really young.. This **** means absolutely nothing.
You are meant to screw up, that's how you learn. You've got your head in the clouds if you're thinking about 'performing' the first time you hit the pads.
You need to relax your attitude and then your body will follow. You need to get the basic mechanics down first. Your punches are painfully slow and all arm despite you turning your feet with them, there's a disconnect there.
You lift weights don't you? I don't know how familiar you are with the Olympic lifts but it's the same principle, as soon as you try to use your arms to muscle a bar up you slow right down and all the power goes.
A punch is all legs and torso, the only time your arm should be tense is at the full extension of the punch. Tensing the arm anytime before then results in a slower, pushing punch with no power.
To get the snap you need to have a loose relaxed arm that's thrown out at a fast speed by your legs and hips.

 

One of the boxers from my gym would have him :smoke

 

lol

 

A shitload of jabs

 

No unless your trainer as a different way of doing pads than I've ever seen.

 

yea, don't worry its pretty simple and you'll get used to it immediately

 

your trainer will hold up a pad for you to hit, its not rocket science

jesus

 

Mudr looks ok start... My advice keep it simple- forget speed and power and just concentrate on developing correct movement.

 

Throwing that combo will not help you learn to throw the shots correctly
