why do many boxing coaches think boxing is damn different from other sports???

If your happy with his skills teaching then keep him and do what YOU feel is right for you conditioning wise. sounds like you know more about it then he does lol but allot of these guys are good solid skill teachers but just don't know much about conditioning, but if your not happy with the way he is teaching you boxing skills move on

 

If you dont understand the mechanics of the Body, how can you correctly, teach it Skill.

 

I was speaking in terms of conditioning only, example I've trained and fought in Thailand and can attest that at the time I was there (mid 90's) that their conditioning techniques had not changed in decades yet the trainers were top notch in skill teaching and the body mechanics that directly apply to the techniques.

 

Yap,that was the same story here until my coach realized he was blowing in the dark,so now he just let me do my own thing and some of the other boxers in the club as well.
But in other clubs were i was,that was atrocius.
The s&c advices were scary,really scary,and lets say in one example, we are talking here about a guy who has 3 AIBAS stars, and has 2 boxers in WSB.
The **** he does, and gets away for it..........
I think its an ego issue.Like why the hell would i ask someone for advices this is my club and im a ****ing BOXING coach,this aint no sissy sport.
But here its the same with thai boxing as well,do not touch the weights cause it will kill you attitude.

 

They may appear to be. but judged by what.

 

Don't really know where your going with this? I'm not looking to debate on opinions there has to be another thread on the forum for that? the guy asked a question and I responded with my 0.2$ based on MY experience and MY opinion not speaking for anyone else nor do I deem myself all knowing enough to do so

 

sorry

 

I do not think boxing coaches are so "special" in this sense

Generally, majority of coaches / mentors I met just do not like to innovate / grow / learn themselves. They stick to traditions, rather than logic. This is why there are very few great coaches.

 

Agreed

 

Clueless, ignorant old school boxing coach. Nothing new.

 

My advice is find another coach that is more to your liking, what you are saying is boxing or boxing coach are not for you. Find an MMA coach as you said they know. This boxing coach you are talking about sounds like a bucket carrier wanna be. No wonder you are pissed. The real problem is that at the beginner or non-professional level, you are going to find wanna be's. The good coaches are looking for talent, and usually wont spend time on a newbe or a non-professional. In your case you seem to be doing it to keep in shape and practice whatever you are working on. If you have this coach still advising you, then it's not his fault that you are listening to him its your fault for staying there. Find a coach you can respect and is saying the things you wanna hear, why do you keep listening to this coach is beyond me. Find another coach or you become a coach and teach the stuff you know. Its that simple.

 

4eyes, you have run into the well known yap pack, who just **** on anything anybody has to say. The yappers are no-talent wanna be's who couldnt get a good coach to even listen to them. They come on here telling everybody that they know and boxing coaches are full of fecal matter and no nothings. Maybe if these yappers knew there was a door to the gym where that useless coach is and that they could use the same door and walk out. It's just that they are frustrated and whining, they havent figured that they can use the same door that they came in to leave, duh!

 

Scrap is a no talent wannabe? atsch
