So at the boxing gym I go to I feel like I’m not getting any real training

[Formerly Black Trash]

If the trainer felt you had talent he' show some attention


Get our ass in the ring and spar or

I’m not trying to go pro

I just wanna get up to sparring
Im going kickboxing

this is exactly why bjj/mma is winning out. find a mma school that has bjj/striking classes and you should be good.

boxing trainers need to steal there model

Seems like boxing they want you to get basics of footwork before sparring...showing an eagerness to spar too soon might be seen as you being arrogant.

My first BJJ class I was kinda thrown into the fire...a black belt showed me to the side how to do shoulder escapes, but we were doing takedowns that class. I had to go up against a black belt and pretty had to rely on my instincts, football tackling and shyt..of course I got washed but as I continued going I learned some takedowns.

I get OP...while you learn hitting mits, some feel like they are actually doing something when they're going up against a live body. I think it's crucial to be sparring because you see what you're capable of, and what others are capable of.

Different culture though boxing,BJJ...

Day 1 in BJJ you're rolling, Day 1 boxing..it's not likely they'll let you spar...

Yo OP, try to get some personal training with the head trainer and say what's on your mind

Like some trainers will charge for personal training so maybe just do one and get some more hands on training while having a chat

Traine has to focus on everyone breh but the more you go on spar days, the more he will show more interest in you.

You shouldn't rush into sparring. There are many seasoned boxers waiting to fukk a newbie up.

A good coach isn't going to let you spar until you're ready. I'm 31, a little older than you. I'm just now for real getting into boxing. There are so many mechanics to boxing...the coach wants to see your dedication to learning the mechanics before you get thrown in there.

And THEN when you actually get thrown in, a good coach will tell the more experienced fighters to only go 30% - 50%. to teach you.

Makes sense..what is the point in sparring when you have poor footwork and can't throw a punch correctly.

It could also explain how being too eager to spar so quick can rub experienced boxers the wrong way. Because then they could try to humble you.

The differences in each art fascinates me.

It’s also bruh didn’t even remember I was registered when I came in
I know he’s older and he has a lot of ppl but still

I’m paying $35 a month and just getting mitts...and I gotta wait till he come around

I understand all this shyt might be regular but I ain’t paying money to get trained and then gotta prove myself on top of it...I’m going to bjj/kickboxing

Makes sense. Do what interests you! Fighting sports are great. I'm going to switch to BJJ or MT when I get my hands right.

Right. And habits are hard to correct as well. They'd rather build you from the ground up.

Also, an inexperienced boxer in sparring is dangerous. You very rarely go 100% in sparring, if ever. New people get shook and throw punches too hard. If you catch an experienced boxer with one, don't be surprised if he lays you out after.

Nikka Im not running into FMJ at no fukking random gym; get your ass in the ring and take some shots if you want to truly learn....


Ive seen nikkas hit the bag once the trainer says he ready and throw them in sparring; the basics and fundamentals, the true fighters already have

 

[Yuzo]

I’m going to bjj/kickboxing

good.
