New Trainer

[King James III]

Well I had my first sparring match under my new trainer. It feels like im starting all over again because his fighting style is so different from my old trainer, yet i can feel that he knows what hes talking about. My first sparring match went not as well as I wanted it to. I was thinking too much i guess trying not to revert to my old boxing style until i caught a mean hook to the head that had me wondering where i was.In the third round i caught him with a hard cross to the throat and reverted to the way i was used to fighting and finish the sparring session really dancing around the ring cause i was still a little dizzy.Yea i kno it was a cheap shot but **** that he had my head ringing and i hate losing even if its a sparring match. Do you think it will be impossible for me to learn this new style of fighting or should i just stick it out and see where it takes me? Ive been training with this coach for 3 months now. ( Also im really new 2 this site and really would appreciate a donation so i can get a pic)

i'm in the same spot you are my man. i switched trainers of 4 years to go to a new one and he's teaching me a completely different style and i wasnt happy and in sparring i would always revert to my old style and get yelled at and after workin how he wanted me to he would let me mix in my own style in there during sparring, so i basically learned a new style to fight with which i am VERY comfortable with cuz i can be versatile in the ring depending on the situation. so jus tell him straight up that u want him to teach u everything he knows the best that he knows but throw in some of ur own things in different situations and have him fine tweak them and u can only improve after that.

donation comin...

not exactly. u should tell him that ur used to this style, and u like the new style he's tryin to teach u, but u wanna be versatile and combine both schools of training and roll them into one so u can have a style u feel comfortable with. no trainer can TELL u wut style u fight with, ur body and skills determine that.

by the way i donated some point to u yesterday. u get em?

I think changeing trainer is good from time to time and not changing his good depending on releationship.

changing trainers is good because you could have another precpetive view as well as he could see other flaws in you.

As for staying with the same trainer you tend to know each other and understand each other will only by looking

he cant "force" a style on u. if ur not comfotable, he will never make u comfortable in that style. learn everything u can from him but use it to develop a style u feel most comfortable with and whatever wins u fights. ur trainer cannot make u fight in a way u cant or dont want to.

I thnk he can! haha. Just go for it. You'll have both styles locked away.

I changed gyms at christmas and had to start doing things very differently - certain traits which i'd been taught and got used to- i was told not to do anymore. I changed my style, stance...tactics. (basically, my previous gym had taught me in a "pro" style - to work on connecting hard instead of scoring points). Fair enough - both styles are in the bank - and in truth as soon as i get hit hard or tired, i revert back to my older more aggressive style.

Just work hard and listen to your trainer - he must know his stuff. If you'd have met him 1st and your old trainer 2nd, then you'd be questioning him too.
Just work hard, listen and try and do your best. It'll all come together soon.
